Employment Central

Important update


As of September 1, 2025 Employment Central will no longer be advertising regular job openings on our job board.  If you have any jobs currently posted with us, they will remain active until October 1, 2025 and then be closed.  After this date, Employment Central will focus on posting short term/casual/contract work opportunities only.   Some people refer to these as “Gig Jobs”. 

Examples include:

·         Employer needs 2 labourers for 2 days to help unload a truck
·         Employer needs 3 servers to work a 1 day catered event
·         Employer needs 4 labourers to shovel gravel for a week
·         Employer needs 1 administrative assistant to complete data entry for 1 month

In sum, these are all short-term positions.  We recognize there is a need in our community for employers to fill temporary work assignments and we hope to be a support in this endeavor. Employers are encouraged to post regular job advertisements on YuWin and Canada Job Bank.

When local employers advertise open positions on Canada Job Bank, they will still automatically see their job postings appear on our website. These job postings are uploaded automatically to the Employment Central website daily at 3am and are indicated by a red maple leaf.

Job Seekers: Beware of job offer scams!

 
How to spot SCAMS and protect yourself
 
Employment fraud is becoming increasingly sophisticated and common. Anyone can fall prey! The impact on victims can be devastating on both a personal and financial level.
 
How can you protect yourself from becoming a victim?
 
  1. Research the employer thoroughly: Check their website, social media pages, and online reviews. If the company doesn't have an online presence or provides only limited information, it may be a red flag.
  2. Verify the job offer: Contact the company directly through their official contact information to verify the job offer and ask for more details about the position. Ask for an in-person interview or a video conference call to confirm the job offer is legitimate.
  3. Keep personal information private: Only provide personal information after you have verified the legitimacy of the employer and the job offer. Be cautious of providing sensitive information such as your Social Insurance Number, bank account information, date of birth or any other personal details.
  4. Trust your instincts: If a job offer seems too good to be true or if you feel uncomfortable about any aspect of the job offer or the employer, trust your instincts and proceed with caution.
 
What are some warning signs to look out for?
 
  1. Job offers that seem too good to be true: Offers that promise higher than average pay for minimal work, the ability to work from anywhere at any time, or other benefits that don't match what's offered in similar jobs.
  2. No job interview: Being offered a job without any formal interview or in-person meeting with the employer or hiring manager.
  3. Payment required for employment: Being asked to pay for background checks, training or other costs as a condition of employment.
  4. Urgency and pressure to act quickly: Employers that pressure you to make a quick decision or accept a job offer on the spot.
  5. Job offers received without applying: Getting a job offer for a job you never applied to or heard of before.
 
If you notice any of these warning signs, it's important to be cautious and do your research before providing any personal information or accepting a job offer.
