The Job Bank is an employment website operated by Employment and Social Development Canada. It provides an online database of job listings in Canada, as well as other employment services and information for recruiters and job seekers, including career planning, resume creation, job matching, and notifications.
Provinces under Labour Market Development Agreements with the federal government must contribute their listings to the Job Bank.
In 2018, the province of Saskatchewan announced that it would discontinue its own provincial job search engine, SaskJobs, and migrate to exclusively serving listings through the Job Bank beginning May 1, 2018, to provide "enhanced" services for its users. The move came after Brad Wall's Saskatchewan Party government implemented major cuts to employment and work readiness programs in the 2017-18 provincial budget, making it too costly to maintain the separate website. In April 2018, the migration began to generate a mixed reception, with critiques surrounding the site's design and overall functionality, and lamenting the loss of features such as finer geographical regions, unrestricted options for job titles, and the Job Bank's account system requiring finer personal information (including a Social Insurance Number). The province ultimately chose to delay the full shutdown of SaskJobs for six additional months.
