Connecting Indigenous Talent
With Opportunity
Aboriginal Hire is a Canadian job platform dedicated to First Nations, Métis, and Inuit job seekers. Free for job seekers, and built for how Indigenous people actually find work.
Since time immemorial
The First Peoples of Canada have lived on these lands for thousands of years, building nations, economies, trade routes, and systems of knowledge long before Confederation. Their contributions run through this country's culture, its economy, and its identity, and they continue today in every sector and every region.
That history also includes generations of injustice: policies designed to sever people from land, language, family, and livelihood. Residential schools interrupted the passing of skills, networks, and stability from parents to children. The barriers Indigenous job seekers face today are not accidents. They are inheritances.
Aboriginal Hire exists because that gap is real, and because closing it matters. Our purpose is to support Indigenous economic independence by connecting talented Indigenous job seekers with employers who are ready to do more than acknowledge reconciliation: employers ready to act on it through hiring.
This platform is more than a job board. It is a step toward equity, opportunity, and a future where Indigenous talent is recognized and valued in every industry.
The gap is real. So is the momentum.
The gap isn't ability. It's access. Access is what we build.
Two ways people find work
In the cities
More than half of Indigenous people live in urban centres, with a phone in hand. For them, Aboriginal Hire works the way a modern platform should: fast search, easy apply, mobile friendly on every screen, and employers who chose to be here.
In the communities
Where internet access is limited, work is found through band offices, friendship centres, and employment counsellors: people you trust. We built for that path too, because a job platform that only works online only works for some.
Community Connect is how jobs reach
people the internet doesn't.
Employers share their postings with 124 verified Indigenous organizations across Canada, and a counsellor in a community becomes the browser for someone who may never see this website. Friendship centres, Métis employment bodies, and ISET providers, coast to coast.

Why choose Aboriginal Hire
Purpose-built, not repurposed.
Every part of this platform was designed around First Nations, Métis, and Inuit job seekers from day one. This is the whole mission, not a diversity checkbox on someone else's job board.
Hiring is where reconciliation gets real.
We work with employers answering the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's Call to Action 92: equitable access to jobs, training, and advancement for Indigenous Peoples. Commitments matter most when they become paycheques.
Support that honours your story.
A job search looks different when your path includes community, culture, and sometimes distance. Our guidance is shaped by that reality, not blind to it.
Every employer here chose to be here.
Nobody lists on Aboriginal Hire by accident. When you apply, you already know the answer to the hardest question: does this employer actually want Indigenous talent?
Aboriginal Hire operates from Edmonton, Alberta, within Treaty 6 territory and the homeland of the Métis Nation. We serve Indigenous job seekers across the traditional territories and treaty lands that make up what is now Canada, lands that have been home to First Nations, Métis, and Inuit Peoples since time immemorial. We are grateful for the opportunity to do this work on these lands.
