Jobshark was founded in June 1997 and is Canada's oldest online job board. There are now a record 1 million skilled job seekers registered on the site.

How does Jobshark collect information on its users to better help you reach the skilled ones you want not the ones you don't?

Upon registration, all job seekers provide us with their Skills Profile. We use this information to match your job against their Profile which is based on a multitude of criteria that includes their skills, experience, location, salary expectations, etc. Our Profile matching software called JAWS then broadcasts your full job description by email to all matching candidates found in our Profile database, which ensures that the job is quickly seen by the most qualified people.

As a Bonus, Jobshark has a secondary matching system that is common with all job boards called simply- "Job Alerts". Here we send out email alerts with a bunch of jobs to job seekers that match their key words against similar words found in the job description. The Job Alert email contains your job title and a brief summary of the job, which then links back into Jobshark for users to view the full job description.

A posting on Jobshark will also advertise your job to our 300,000 - 400,000 monthly visitors to the site.

Jobshark's matching service, known as JAWS, provides the following advantages:

	Identifies the most highly qualified applicants since candidates are pre-screened according to the Employment profile they filled in upon registration.
	Delivers immediate results by emailing job openings to job seekers who fit the profile of the desired candidate.
	Enables you to reach highly qualified passive job seekers since job seekers are not required to actively visit the Jobshark.com web site to view job matches.
	All candidates who have received the matching email and applied will be specially marked in your 'Resume Centre' so you can save time by reviewing pre-qualified candidates first.
	Results show that over 60% of candidates apply through JAWS vs only 37% through Job Search.
