As you begin to prepare for hiring in spring of 2017, we would like to remind you of some valuable resources members can use in their recruitment strategy. First is the relatively new website, https://landscape.jobs/. This is free to members and exclusive to the landscape industry. The more employers that post jobs there, the more valuable it will be to job seekers. We always encourage members to use http://www.jobbank.gc.ca/ when recruiting as it helps gather statistics for the Canadian government, which with their updated system, is shared with users. This includes average wages in your area, job outlook, etc. which is useful when you begin to look at your job postings. Another great resource for our industry is www.wagesurvey.ca. This site collects wage data by position and province – Alberta has some of the best data available.
