Benefits & Details about CareerLine

Our new and improved CareerLine is a job advertising service targeted to all IABC/Toronto members. Opportunities can include jobs in public relations, communications (employee, marketing, external, etc), investor relations, government relations, social media, web content development, writing and editing, etc.

CareerLine receives more than 700 views per month. All jobs are classified by level of experience. Detailed job openings are posted for 45 days, or until the job expiry date has passed – whichever comes first, on the members-only secured portion of the chapter’s website. Members can access the website, 24/7, to review job opportunities.

Here are additional reasons why you should consider IABC/Toronto’s CareerLine to help you efficiently find the communications professionals you’re looking for:

2. HIGH DEMAND JOB BOARD. CareerLine receives more than 700 web views per month. After you submit a job posting, a notification is also emailed directly to members who opt for this free service — which 85 per cent of our members rank among the most valuable features of membership. To increase readership ability of job listings, CareerLine is now 100% mobile friendly.
3. INCREASE YOUR RESULTS. Job posting notifications are emailed directly to the membership for at no additional cost. Positions are also tweeted to IABC/Toronto’s more than 10.2K followers.

At less than half the price of contract/full time CareerLine listings, this is an affordable way to quickly access communications-related expertise to fulfill your specific project requirements. Freelance refers to a working arrangement in which a person sells his or her services to individual buyers with whom they are not employed on contract or full time. Freelance postings will be accessible by all IABC/Toronto members including a very active sub-group of members called “Professional Independent Communicators (PIC).”
