FAQ

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)

1.  For whom has the RegulatoryJobs.org site been built?

RegulatoryJobs.org is a site for organizations in the licensing and regulation sector to list all career, volunteer, and Board/Council positions, as well as tender (RFP) opportunities. Recruitment agencies can also list jobs on the site on behalf of their regulatory clients. It is also a site for regulatory professionals seeking new opportunities and for qualified professionals seeking to enter the sector.

RegulatoryJobs.org was built by regulators for regulators.

2.  Why use RegulatoryJobs.org?

Regulators know that finding top talent with the right combination of skills and experience for this unique sector is increasingly hard to find. Other general job sites may attract many applicants, but often not the type of applicants this sector needs or seeks. This “for regulators by regulators” site has been built with the sector’s uniqueness in mind, and our marketing and communications strategy for the site has been developed accordingly. Our aim is to enable the right talent to find you. We also know how difficult it is for job seekers to find opportunities within the sector. Often, experienced professionals will have to search individual organizational sites in hopes of finding an opportunity for which to apply. This leads to frustration on the part of the job seeker. RegulatoryJobs.org solves this challenge by bringing talent and job seekers together in one spot.

RegulatoryJobs.org is not only about career opportunities. The site has been expanded to include all types of opportunities in the sector – from career and volunteer opportunities to Board/Council positions and tender opportunities. We built this site with both regulators and opportunity seekers in mind.

3.  Are there any hidden fees?

At RegulatoryJobs.org, we believe in transparency. You can be confident that there are no hidden fees with the one-time listing option. They remain on the website for 30 days and are included in the Last Week’s Listings e-bulletin. Listings will also be published in our weekly Last Week’s Listings e-bulletin that reaches more than 3,900 people each week, with a Click Through Rate (CTR) 20 times higher than the average CTR for the sector. More than 50% of Canadian regulators have at least one employee subscribed to Last Week’s Listings, suggesting deep interest in new career opportunities and high interest in the e-bulletin.

Additional services and add-on features, such as prominently featuring a specific listing, are available for an additional cost. Regulatory Jobs Executive Recruitment is for regulators looking for executive recruitment services. Prominently featuring opportunities is always part of that service.

There are no hidden fees associated with a one-time listing or a subscription to RegulatoryJobs.org. You get access to all the features of the site, and marketing & promotional support for each listing. There are, however, additional options and services that can be purchased if you’d like to have a listing more prominently featured, or if you’d like to use our executive recruitment services.

4.  How can I more prominently feature a listing on the RegulatoryJobs.org website?

If you have a listing that needs additional exposure, or if you need to fill a vacancy urgently, featuring a listing on RegulatoryJobs.org is a great option. Featuring an opportunity listed on the site can be done for an additional fee of CAD $399/featured opportunity. There is no additional fee associated with featuring a listing if the listing is being managed through the Regulatory Jobs Executive Recruitment service.

If you wish to have an opportunity featured, please reach out to us at listings (AT) regulatoryjobs.org and we will prepare a separate invoice for you, and ensure the opportunity is properly and prominently featured. Soon, an option to select this add-on will be made available directly on the RegulatoryJobs.org website.

There are many ways in which we prominently feature opportunities, including:

• Listing the opportunity on the RegulatoryJobs.org homepage under “Featured Opportunities” in addition to including it in the regular, searchable list of available opportunities on the site.
• Prominently featuring the listing in our Last Week’s Listings e-bulletin, an e-bulletin that goes out each week to more than 2,000 subscribers.
• Issuing a separate, stand-alone “opportunity alert” to our Last Week’s Listings subscribers.
• Featuring the listing in The Registrar Magazine if the opportunity is still open at the time a new issue is scheduled for publication.

If you have an opportunity that needs additional exposure, or have an urgent opportunity that needs to be filled, featuring such an opportunity on RegulatoryJobs.org and in our weekly e-bulletin, contact us at listings (AT) regulatoryjobs.org.

5.  Can I feature my organization on the RegulatoryJobs.org website?

Yes, your organization can be featured on the homepage of the website at no charge (subject to availability). Contact us at listings (AT) regulatoryjobs.org to make a request.

6.  Our organization plans to utilize the site for both HR and tender opportunities. Can we have more than one account to facilitate this?

Yes, organizations can have more than one account to manage different types of opportunities. If you need multiple accounts created, contact us at listings (AT)  regulatoryjobs.org and we will be happy to facilitate this.

7.  What is the default period for listings to remain on the site?

The default duration for career, volunteer, and Board opportunities is 30 days. The default duration for tender (RFP/RFI) opportunities listed on the site is 90 days.

8.  What kind of marketing and promotional support does RegulatoryJobs.org provide?

ALL listings receive marketing and promotional support from us. We promote RegulatoryJobs.org and each specific listing on our many social media accounts, including on LinkedIn, X (formerly Twitter), Facebook, and Instagram, and in the popular Last Week’s Listings e-bulletin.

9.  Our organization prefers to manage and track opportunities using our own Applicant Tracking System (ATS). Can we direct applicants to submit their applications to our ATS or to a dedicated email address, or do we need to use the complimentary, built-in ATS on the RegulatoryJobs.org website?

We built a complimentary ATS on the site for the many organizations that do not have one and would benefit from this feature, however, we understand that using the built-in ATS on the site is not for everyone as there are organizations that either have their own ATS or prefer to receive applications to a specific e-mail address. Each time you list an opportunity, you can include specific instructions for applicants to send their application to an email address, and/or you can include links in the listing to direct interested parties to submit their applications via your own ATS, or links to view and download information pertinent to a listing, such as organization policies, training courses, screening questionnaires, etc.

You always have a choice: you can direct opportunity seekers to submit their applications via your own ATS or email address of your choosing, or use the built-in, complimentary ATS on the RegulatoryJobs.org website.

10. What methods of payment do you accept?

We have a built-in secure payment gateway on the site to accept credit cards. To arrange an alternative payment method, contact us at listings (AT) regulatoryjobs.org.
