How it works

Hiring on Spark takes minutes, not weeks.

From account to applicants in three simple steps. No recruiters, no runaround.

Create a free account

Sign up in your browser or in the app, whichever you have open. No credit card, and nothing to pay to get started.

Step 01

Post your job or gig

Title, pay, location, hours. Under three minutes, or under one minute with Spark's AI writing it for you.

Step 02

Students apply, or you swipe

Applicants arrive with their full Spark profile: skills, experience, and education already filled in.

Step 03
Employers on desktop

Your whole hiring, in a browser tab.

Spark is not mobile-only. Sign in at sparkjobs.ca/app and you get the full employer side on the machine you actually work on: nothing to install, nothing to approve with IT.

Community: where your local gig gets talked about

What lands with every applicationThe fields a Spark profile carries
  • EducationSchool, program, year of study
  • SkillsListed by the candidate, matched against your posting
  • AvailabilityThe days and hours they can actually work
  • LocationRoughly how far they are from the job
  • RésuméThe Spark résumé they attach, right in the app

No blank applications. No chasing a PDF.

Ready to work

Real candidates, not résumé ghosts.

Every application comes from a real student or newcomer account on Spark: someone who has built a profile, listed their skills, and is actively looking for work.

  • Student & newcomer profiles, not scraped résumés
  • Skills, education & availability up front
  • Actively-looking candidates only
  • Message and hire in-app

Posting is free, with no per-post fee: until your business is verified (free, under Get verified in the app) you can keep 5 posts live and publish 3 new ones a day, and verified businesses have no cap. Seeing display résumés is free, every job you post comes with top-candidate ranking at no cost, and the applicant tracker is free too: stages, private notes, filters, bulk actions, a saved shortlist and interview reminders. Employer Pro does not add posts (free business verification, not Pro, lifts the posting limits). It adds describe-any-role candidate search with no posting needed, Spark AI reviews of your applicants and résumés tailored to your role, boosting up to 3 posts at a time higher in the student feed, and 10x more candidate views a day.

Schools & institutions

Give your students Spark Pro, and post straight to them.

Reach the students in your building, on the app that's already in their pocket. Every student your school verifies gets Spark Pro free, and only verified students count: they join with a code you issue or with your approval.

Campus positions

Library desks to lab assistants, listed where students already look.

Co-op roles

Post co-op placements straight into your students' feeds (Campus and District plans).

Part-time

Fill shifts fast with students who set their own availability.

Internships

Reach motivated students building their first real experience.

Contract with Spark

Schools and boards: every student you verify, with a join code you issue or your approval, gets Spark Pro free, and you manage them in a Students console. Campus adds posting straight to your students. District adds a daily import of your existing job board. Plans from $199/month, billed directly. Companies: a company partnership gives every named seat on your hiring team Employer Pro and an optional shared applicant pipeline (teammates who opt in see and act on each other's applicants), on one contract, at a custom price. Compare the plans

Start your school console

  1. Open sparkjobs.ca/app in a browser, or get the app (App Store; Android by early-access invite), and sign up as an Employer; pick “Campus department” as the organization type.
  2. Open Settings → Partner with Spark → Apply to partner, and pick Starter, Campus or District.
  3. Spark reviews you, invoices you directly and switches your plan on. You get a notification and your School console unlocks: join codes, verified students, and posting to your students on Campus and District.
