Job ad checker

Paste your job ad. You get a list of things to fix: a missing or too-wide pay range, "Canadian experience", no hours or location, wording that puts people off, and a vacancy line where Ontario requires one. The check runs in your browser; nothing is sent or saved.

What it checks

• Pay: whether a dollar amount or range appears, and whether a range is wider than $50,000 a year (Ontario's cap).
• Canadian experience: any request for it.
• Vacancy line (Ontario, 25 or more employees): whether the ad says if the job is an existing vacancy.
• AI in screening (Ontario, 25 or more employees): a reminder to disclose it if you use AI to screen, assess or select applicants.
• Basics: hours or schedule, location, and a way to apply.
• Wording: terms that can read as age or gender bias ("young", "digital native", "rockstar", "he") and very long requirement lists.
