Job opportunities for Indigenous Peoples in Canada.

We make recruitment easier and more meaningful for everyone involved — one place for vacancies, and for finding the right match.

About Us

Welcome to Aboriginal Hire, a job portal dedicated to connecting Indigenous Peoples of Canada — First Nations, Métis, and Inuit — with meaningful employment opportunities. We celebrate the rich history, culture, and contributions of Indigenous communities, and we work every day to address the real challenges they face in accessing the careers they deserve.

Indigenous History and Purpose

The First Peoples of Canada have a history that spans thousands of years and is deeply rooted in the lands we now share. Despite their enduring contributions to this country's culture, economy, and identity, Indigenous communities continue to face systemic barriers to employment — barriers shaped by generations of historical injustice and inequity.

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's a step toward equity, opportunity, and a future where Indigenous talent is recognized and valued in every industry.

What We Offer

  • Job Opportunities. Roles across every sector — from healthcare and trades to education, administration, and beyond — posted by employers who specifically want to hire Indigenous talent.
  • Career Resources. Practical tools, articles, and tips to help job seekers craft strong resumes, prepare for interviews, and navigate the workplace with confidence.
  • An Inclusive Employer Network. Partnerships with organizations committed to Indigenous hiring practices, cultural respect, and long-term professional growth.
  • Stories That Inspire. Real journeys from Indigenous professionals — celebrating success, sharing lessons, and showing what's possible.

Already Hiring Indigenous Talent? Your First Job Post Is on Us.

If your team includes Indigenous employees — First Nations, Métis, or Inuit — we'd love to support your continued hiring. Email us at customercare@aboriginalhire.ca with a brief note about your team, and we'll set up your first job posting free of charge.

It's our way of recognizing employers already doing the work.

Our Mission

At Aboriginal Hire, our mission is to create a future where Indigenous talent thrives across every sector of the Canadian economy.

By building meaningful connections between Indigenous job seekers and inclusive employers, we work to:

  • Promote equitable employment opportunities across First Nations, Métis, and Inuit communities.
  • Support Indigenous economic independence and self-determination.
  • Recognize the lasting and invaluable contributions Indigenous Peoples make to Canada's growth and culture.

Why Choose Aboriginal Hire?

  1. Built for Indigenous Job Seekers. This platform is designed around the career needs of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit Peoples — not as an afterthought, but as the core purpose.
  2. Reconciliation in Practice. We partner with employers committed to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission's Calls to Action — particularly Call 92, which asks Canadian businesses to ensure Indigenous Peoples have equitable access to employment.
  3. Culturally Respectful Support. We understand the unique experiences Indigenous job seekers may bring to a job search, and we offer guidance shaped to honour those experiences.
  4. A Bridge Between Talent and Opportunity. Aboriginal Hire is a direct connection between Indigenous talent and employers building genuinely diverse and inclusive teams.

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.
