About Job Alerts

A great option for high-volume, time-sensitive requirements

Job Alerts are one-time emails that are sent out to all the registered job-seekers in the geographical area you choose (up to province-wide).

How do they work?

1. Purchase a Job Alert credit the same way you'd purchase a Job Posting credit
2. Click on JOB ALERTS in the menu in the top right underneath the 'Welcome' message
3. Enter the Alert title and select the province you'd like to send it to, in the fields indicated
4. The next screen will allow you to select which regions within that province you'd like to send the Job Alert to (select as many as you want)
5. Enter the application info (how you want applicants to respond, and the appropriate contact information)
6. Enter the job description information
7. You'll now see an 'Awaiting Approval' message. This means that a preview of your Job Alert has been sent to the email address in your account profile
8. Open the preview email. At the bottom you'll see 'APPROVE THIS JOB ALERT'. If the Job Alert is correct, simply click on the link, which will take you back to the Retired Worker site
9. Once you've approved and scheduled your Job Alert, you'll see a confirmation on your screen.
10. Within a few hours of your Job Alert going out, you'll start to see applications!

Why use a Job Alert instead of a regular job posting?

In addition, Job Alerts are often forwarded from our job-seekers to their friends, family and colleagues - anyone they think might also be interested in the opportunity - who may not be registered with Retired Worker, which means that Job Alerts tend to achieve a wider distribution.

The same price as Job Postings!
