The Provincial Government today
launched JobsinNL.ca, its new official online
recruitment and job search resource.
"The launch of this site represents another step in
our continued efforts to better connect employers and
job seekers throughout the province," said the
Honourable Susan Sullivan, Minister of Human Resources,
Labour and Employment. "This new site will complement
our existing employment and human resource supports such
as our network of regional Career Work Centres.
Together, these services will provide the supports
individuals need to successfully find and prepare for
employment while helping employers find the skilled
workers they need to compete."
www.JobsinNL.ca is a powerful, simple, and
streamlined website that can provide job seekers and
employers with everything they need in just a couple of
clicks. Employers will enjoy the fact that they can post
their job ads at no cost and manage the resumes they
receive for these positions online. Job seekers, both
inside and outside the province, will be able to search
for jobs in all regions of Newfoundland and Labrador,
directly apply for these positions and enjoy instant
notifications about new positions of interest as they
are posted on the site. They will also have easy access
to information about a wide array of employers operating
across the province.
"We know this resource is timely and will be valued
by both employers and job seekers," said Minister
Sullivan. "Over the past couple of weeks we have already
had upwards of 2800 employers pre-register on the site
in preparation for today�s launch. The Department of
Human Resources, Labour and Employment is proud to bring
this much anticipated service to the people of
Newfoundland and Labrador."
The Newfoundland and Labrador Business Coalition, a
volunteer organization made up of business organizations
throughout the province, echoed Minister Sullivan�s
enthusiasm.
"This powerful new online resource was developed
through collaborative partnership between business,
labour, and government, and the result is a powerful
tool that will connect the right people for the right
employment at the right time," said Denis Mahoney, Chair
of the Business Coalition. "I am confident it will
enhance efficiency and consistency in the recruiting
process in this province, and I look forward to seeing
this exciting online tool in use."
This new site helps fulfill the Provincial
Government�s commitment to develop more responsive
recruitment and retention resources, including a site to
allow workers from here and beyond to register and more
easily find work in this province.
www.JobsinNL.ca will
also help the Provincial Government meet its new
commitments under a devolved Canada-Newfoundland and
Labrador Labour Market Development Agreement. Under this
new agreement, on November 2, 2009, the province assumed
responsibility for a variety of employment services
previously offered by Service Canada - including
delivery of the national Job Bank service for
Newfoundland and Labrador. As of today�s launch,
www.JobsinNL.ca will become the one-stop job search
website for people here and around the world who are
looking to work in Newfoundland and Labrador.
Employers are encouraged to visit
www.jobsinNL.ca
today to sign up for an account and start posting free
job ads. Job seekers are also encouraged to visit the
site to find out about job opportunities available here
in Newfoundland and Labrador.
