Workforce WindsorEssex Launches Region’s Largest Job Board
WEjobs board will save jobseekers time by creating a one-stop shop for jobs
For Immediate Release
April 17, 2019
Windsor, ON – With more than 2,300+ active job listings, Workforce WindsorEssex has launched the region’s largest job board called WEjobs board. This tool automatically aggregates local job postings from 14 national, provincial, and local job boards to make searching for your next job in Windsor-Essex easier than ever.
WEjobs board reduces the amount of websites that jobseekers have to visit when looking for job postings. Through this new interactive tool, you can search, sort, and filter through the region’s largest list of job postings, casting your job search net wider than ever before. One of the filter options allows users to perform quick searches for Bridge Jobs, Apprenticeship Jobs, French jobs, and upcoming Career Fairs.
Instead of trying to change employer behaviour, this tool acts as a search engine that sends users to the original job board for people to apply.
Workforce WindsorEssex is also set to publish monthly job demand reports using our own job posting data beginning May 2019 detailing interesting stats like total number of jobs posted, average posting length, top occupations posted and top hiring employers. Another report – the first of its kind to be published in Windsor-Essex – will report on who is looking for work in the region. 1st time visitors to WEjobs board, WEexplore careers, and WEmap jobs will be asked to share their gender and age grouping with us, so we can produce aggregated (and anonymous) reports on who is looking for work in our region. By participating in this research, users will help us understand how job search behaviours may differ by gender and age, and what jobs draw the most clicks. Workforce WindsorEssex will be writing a new blog series that analyzes these two reports and the other data we collect to help improve the job posting experience of employers and the job search experience of jobseekers.
The WEjobs board tool is available in more than 100 languages on our website.
QUOTES:
“WEjobs board is a great addition to our comprehensive job search tools. Like WEexplore careers and WEmap jobs before it, WEjobs board casts the biggest net possible making it the best site in the region to find local jobs. We are also excited to use the region’s largest job board to better understand who is looking for work and who is posting jobs. This research could help both employers and jobseekers better understand each other.”
