Data transparency
How WorkRadar Data Works
WorkRadar Canada is a Canadian employment platform that helps candidates discover jobs and understand job fit, and gives employers tools to post and manage job listings. This page explains, factually and in plain language, what WorkRadar is, where its job information comes from, and what it does and does not guarantee.

What WorkRadar Canada is
WorkRadar Canada is a Canadian job platform. Candidates can browse job listings, review salary context where it is available, build a private Work Passport, and review Matches. Employers have a separate path to create an account, verify their company, and post and manage job listings.
WorkRadar does not claim to be the largest job platform in Canada, the best job platform, ranked first by any authority, or endorsed by any government. It does not guarantee employment for any candidate or any hire for any employer.
Where job information comes from
WorkRadar's job catalog is made up of two general categories of listings:
- Employer-posted jobs — created directly by a WorkRadar employer account, tied to that account and its verification status.
- Public-source listings — sourced from permitted external job feeds. These are labelled with their source and, where required, apply through the original source's own application path rather than through WorkRadar.
A public-source listing does not carry WorkRadar's verified-employer status unless the employer also owns and verifies that post directly through WorkRadar. Which external sources are active can change over time — a source being technically supported in WorkRadar's code is not the same as that source actively contributing live jobs today. See Job Source Transparency and Job Source Quality for the full policy.
Canada and location truth
WorkRadar uses the location information attached to a job listing to decide whether that job belongs in its Canadian job experience. A listing with a confirmed non-Canadian location is withheld from public Canadian job results. A listing whose location cannot yet be confirmed either way is not automatically treated as foreign — it can appear while classification completes, consistent with WorkRadar's current policy of not hiding jobs merely for a temporary lack of certainty.
This is an internal content-quality and relevance process. It is not a government validation of a job, an employer, or an address, and it does not confirm immigration or work-eligibility status for any listing.
What “Verified” means for an employer
A WorkRadar employer account can reach a “verified” status after WorkRadar completes its own account and company review checks for that employer.
Verified does not mean:
- government certification or licensing of the company;
- a guarantee that every job that employer posts is legitimate or currently open;
- a financial guarantee of any kind;
- WorkRadar's endorsement of every statement the employer makes.
Verification is one account-level check, not a blanket endorsement of an employer or its postings. See the Employer Posting Policy for the full baseline rules employers agree to.
How salary information is handled
WorkRadar displays salary information only when a reliable figure is actually available from the employer or the job's source. When salary is not disclosed, WorkRadar shows it as unknown rather than estimating a number to fill the field. WorkRadar does not invent, average, or guess a salary that no source actually provided.
Work Passport
Work Passport is a private WorkRadar Canada candidate profile. Candidates can use it to keep information such as skills, work experience, location and work-type preferences, and supporting documents in one place, and to keep that information current over time.
Work Passport is not: a government passport, an immigration document, a work permit, or any form of government-issued identification. The name refers only to a WorkRadar candidate profile feature.
Work Passport is private by default. An employer using WorkRadar does not automatically receive a candidate's full private Work Passport or documents merely by having a WorkRadar account — access to candidate information follows WorkRadar's own product and privacy rules, not automatic employer visibility.
How matching works
Matches compares the information a candidate has chosen to save — for example in Work Passport — with information from current job listings, and presents that comparison as context: what appears to align, and what evidence is missing. Where a percentage or score is shown, it reflects that comparison, not a prediction of hiring outcome.
An in-platform assistant (sometimes referred to as WorkRadar AI) is also available within Matches. It reviews a selected job alongside a candidate's Work Passport information and summarizes evidence and possible gaps. Its output is informational context for the candidate to review — it is not a hiring decision, an employer's opinion, or a prediction of outcome.
Matches and any AI assistant within it do not promise:
- an interview;
- a job offer or employment;
- that any specific employer is interested in a candidate;
- a specific probability of being hired;
- immigration or work-authorization eligibility.
Job Goal and job-search context
Job Goal is a candidate-controlled way to record the role or direction they want to explore. It helps keep a candidate's search intent distinct from their existing Work Passport facts. It does not rewrite a job listing, change an employer's requirements, or promise that a role is available.
Matches and Job Goal provide context for a candidate's own search. Candidates should still review the current job detail, its source, and its application path before relying on a listing or applying.
When a job changes or disappears
Job listings can close, expire, be updated, or disappear at the original source. WorkRadar uses the source information and lifecycle evidence available to it to decide whether a listing remains public, but it does not promise that an external listing is open until a candidate reviews the original source or employer application page.
A missing or uncertain source response is not automatically treated as proof that a job is gone. This helps avoid removing a legitimate listing merely because a source is temporarily unavailable.
Candidate privacy
Work Passport, saved jobs, and match results are private candidate information by default. They belong to the candidate's own account and are not published, made public, or automatically shared with employers. Employer access to any part of a candidate's private information happens only through a specific, separately authorized product flow — never simply because an employer has an active WorkRadar account.
What WorkRadar does not guarantee
WorkRadar does not guarantee, for any candidate or employer:
- an interview;
- a job offer or employment;
- a hire, applicant, or response to a job posting;
- a specific salary or compensation outcome;
- immigration status, a work permit, or work authorization;
- the outcome of any training or upskilling recommendation.
Common questions
Is Work Passport a government document?
No. Work Passport is a private WorkRadar Canada candidate profile. It has no connection to any government passport, immigration document, or work permit.
Does WorkRadar guarantee a job?
No. WorkRadar provides job discovery, salary context, candidate tools, and employer posting workflows. It does not guarantee employment, interviews, hires, or immigration outcomes.
Can employers see my Work Passport?
Not automatically. Work Passport is private by default. Employer access to candidate information requires a specific, separately authorized product flow.
What does a Match percentage mean?
It reflects how much of a job's stated requirements align with the information in a candidate's Work Passport. It is contextual information, not a hiring prediction.
