Which Diversity Job Board Is Right for Your Organization?

If you're comparing hireDiverse and BIPOCJobs.ca, the biggest difference is who your diversity recruitment strategy is designed to reach.

BIPOCJobs.ca is specifically focused on Black, Indigenous and People of Colour professionals. hireDiverse takes a broader employment equity approach, helping employers reach candidates across multiple equity-deserving and underrepresented groups.

For employers with organization-wide diversity, employment equity or inclusive hiring goals, that broader reach matters.

BIPOC Recruitment Is Important. But It Isn't the Entire Employment Equity Picture.

BIPOCJobs.ca serves a clear purpose: helping employers connect with Black, Indigenous and People of Colour professionals.

hireDiverse includes BIPOC recruitment too, but its mandate is broader.

hireDiverse helps employers extend recruitment outreach to candidates across a wider range of underrepresented and equity-deserving communities, including:

  • Black and racialized candidates

  • Indigenous job seekers

  • Newcomers to Canada

  • People with disabilities

  • Women

  • 2SLGBTQIA+ candidates

  • Older workers

  • Veterans

  • Other traditionally underrepresented job seekers

That makes hireDiverse particularly valuable for employers whose diversity strategy extends beyond race and ethnicity.

One Platform for Broader Employment Equity Recruitment

Many Canadian employers aren't responsible for just one diversity target. Their recruitment and employment equity strategies may involve improving representation across several groups at the same time.

Using a platform focused primarily on BIPOC candidates addresses only one part of that challenge. hireDiverse gives employers one recruitment channel designed to support a broader inclusive hiring strategy.

Instead of needing separate solutions for racialized candidates, newcomers, candidates with disabilities and other underrepresented groups, employers can extend their recruitment outreach through hireDiverse.

Broader Reach + Community Outreach + Measurement

hireDiverse doesn't just broaden the groups you can reach. It combines that reach with:

Community-Based Outreach

Opportunities can be extended through organizations working directly with diverse and underrepresented job seekers.

Direct Candidate Reach

Candidates can search and discover opportunities directly through hireDiverse.

Automated Distribution

Employers with ongoing recruitment needs can automatically distribute vacancies without manually reposting every position.

Performance Reporting

Employers can measure job visibility, application activity and recruitment performance.

Employment Equity Support

Additional outreach and reporting solutions are available for employers with more extensive employment equity requirements.
