I've been thinking about building a free and dedicated job board focused just on sustainable fashion, roles in design, sourcing, sustainability, manufacturing, that kind of thing.

Before I put real time into it, I'd rather hear from people who are actually in this field.

A few questions:

• How do you usually find jobs in this space right now?
• Is there anything frustrating about job hunting here that LinkedIn or existing boards don't really solve?
• If something like this existed, what would actually make you check it often, instead of forgetting it exists after one visit?

Just to be upfront, I have no attachment to building this if it turns out there's no real need for it. So please don't hold back, if the honest answer is "this already exists" or "I wouldn't use it," that's actually the most useful thing you could tell me.

Applied for a role at Deloitte Canada. Had a screening call, was told the feedback was positive and they wanted to move me to the next round. Sent my availability the same day the recruiter asked for it. Followed up twice since with more open availability, and it’s now been about a week with no response.

Is this a normal part of how Deloitte’s internal scheduling works or would you read into a gap like this? Curious if others have been through something similar and what it ended up meaning.

Hey all. I noticed Deloitte Canada keeps reposting the same job (same requisition and job code) on both their careers site and LinkedIn. Does anyone know why they repost the same req instead of leaving the original listing up?

Any insight from current or former Deloitte recruiters or people who've been through this would be really appreciated. Thanks!

I’m a marketing professional based in Toronto. I currently have two overlapping roles:

• Co-Founder of an online business since September 2024
• Marketing Manager at a nonprofit organisation since September 2025

The nonprofit role is part-time. I accepted it partly because I was told there was the prospect of long-term employment, and I believed it would provide professional stability and strengthen the consistency of my résumé.

However, the organisation is now short of both work and funding, and my position is being discontinued on 1 September 2026. The role has also not given me much substantial experience or many measurable achievements that would strengthen future job applications.

I am therefore considering removing the nonprofit role entirely from both my résumé and LinkedIn. My co-founder role would still show continuous experience from September 2024 to the present, so there would be no apparent employment gap.

My main concern is whether excluding the nonprofit position could cause an issue during an employment background check in Canada. I would disclose it honestly if a background-check form asked for all employment, all current roles or a complete employment history. However, it would not appear on the résumé or LinkedIn profile submitted with my application.

Would recruiters or background-screening companies view this as a discrepancy? Is it acceptable to leave out a short, part-time position that ended because the organisation lacked sufficient work and funding, particularly when the role did not add much value to my professional experience?

I would especially appreciate perspectives from Canadian recruiters, HR professionals, hiring managers or anyone familiar with employment verification.
