Looking for Work in Grande Prairie? Here’s a Faster Way to Get Seen

Looking for work in Grande Prairie?

Grande Prairie is home to businesses across oil and gas, construction, transportation, skilled trades, hospitality, retail and service industries.

For workers, the challenge is not always finding companies that are hiring. The challenge can be getting seen at the right time.

Traditional job applications often mean submitting a resume and waiting. Sometimes you hear back. Sometimes you do not.

UAreHire is being built around a different idea:

If you are ready to work, employers should be able to see that.

Make your availability visible

A resume tells an employer what you have done.

Your availability tells them when you can start.

On UAreHire, workers can build a profile that shows employers important information such as:

• your occupation or trade
• your skills and experience
• your location
• your certifications and qualifications
• your current availability

When you are ready for work, you can make that clear through your profile.

Why availability matters

Hiring needs can change quickly.

A company may receive a new project.

A restaurant may suddenly need additional staff.

A transportation company may need another driver.

A construction crew may need more workers.

An oilfield employer may need someone with specific experience or safety tickets.

When that happens, an employer may care about more than whether someone has the right background.

They may also need to know:

Who is actually available right now?

That is one of the problems UAreHire is designed to address.

Build a profile employers can understand quickly

A useful worker profile should make it easy for an employer to understand who you are and what you can do.

Take time to complete your profile accurately.

Include your actual experience, skills, licences, safety tickets and other relevant qualifications.

If you are a Heavy Duty Mechanic, Welder, Electrician, Labourer, Driver, Cook, Server, Equipment Operator or another type of worker, make your role clear.

The easier your profile is to understand, the easier it is for an employer to determine whether your experience matches an opening.

Be ready to respond

Being visible is only part of the process.

When an employer contacts you, responding promptly can make a difference.

UAreHire is designed to bring workers and employers into a more direct hiring process where they can connect, communicate and move toward an interview without unnecessary delays.

That does not mean every connection will result in a job.

It means workers and employers have a clearer way to find each other when the timing is right.
