Freelance Radar vs Indeed Canada: which is better for contract jobs in Canada?

Indeed Canada and Freelance Radar both help you find work, but they do not cover the same jobs. Here is an honest comparison for incorporated and T4 contractors in Canada.

What is Indeed Canada?

Indeed is a general job search engine. Its Canadian site gathers listings from employer career sites and job boards across every industry and job type.

What Indeed Canada does well

  • Very wide coverage across industries and provinces
  • Free to search and set up job alerts
  • Useful to see which companies are hiring in a city

Where Indeed Canada falls short for contractors

  • Contract jobs are mixed with full time, part time and hourly retail jobs
  • Popular listings attract a very high number of applicants
  • Jobs shared only in LinkedIn posts are not in its index

How Freelance Radar is different

Freelance Radar finds the contract jobs that recruiters, staffing agencies and hiring managers in Canada announce in LinkedIn posts, including the many that never become a formal job listing. You see who posted each job and contact them directly.

  • Contract jobs from LinkedIn feed posts, often missing from job boards
  • Incorporated, T4 and government contracts in one place, mandates in Quebec included
  • You see the recruiter or hiring manager and reach out directly
  • Email alerts by specialty, city and hourly rate
  • One plan at CA$49 a year, with 3 days free
