It aims to bridge the gap between the skills, education, and experience international workers bring to Canada, and the expectations of the Canadian workforce.

Once you register online as a Job Seeker, you become part of the AXIS Skills Matching Database. The Skills Matching Database is a recruitment tool which connects job seekers and employers in their search to fill the right positions. The Skills Matching Database also allows the job seeker to create a new resume, search job listings, and request to apply for advertised positions through AXIS Career Services. The AXIS team will process the request and directly assist with the job application.

In order to be visible to the registered employers, AXIS clients need to create a resume in the Resume Center and make sure it is approved by their Employment Counsellor. Employers who are interested in a particular job seeker's qualifications and work experience can then send the request to the AXIS staff members, who will verify and process the request before connecting the job seeker with the employer. Employers cannot directly contact the job seekers, as they do not have access to their personal information, i.e. their address and contact information. AXIS Career Services ensures that client privacy and confidentiality is fully respected.

No. Job Seekers can view and modify only their own profiles, and can also view any job listings posted by employers.
