Newcomers registered on BC JobConnect can:

What our employer-partners have to say:
“BC JobConnect has certainly helped me in tapping into this talent pool because the tool allowed me not only to post my job postings, but to search for candidates as well. I believe the ability to search for available candidates is highly useful because it allows me to easily assess candidates’ background and experiences. The search filters are also helpful in narrowing down specifically who you are looking for, in terms of language skills, location and educational requirements.” – Demash Krisanto (Human Resources Specialist, Ingram Micro)
“We’ve used IEC-BC’s BC JobConnect online tool to fill specific roles that we are looking for. The last time I used it I was looking for a pharmacy tech. It’s a great system because you can actually scroll through the resumes, see the qualifications and match it up with what you’re looking for. Click, connect, and IEC-BC will arrange an interview. It is so simple.” – Peter Boyd (Owner, Peter’s Your Independent Grocer)
“My colleagues and I were very impressed with the calibre of candidates that you put forward. We greatly appreciate your help and will reach out for future hiring opportunities.” – Darlene Gering (Chief of Staff, Octaform)
