I’m in a hurry. Why must you validate my information?
For your security and the security of our users, we validate all employers prior to approving them for membership on WorkPEI. We do this to ensure the individual who registers on behalf of your company has the authority to do so.
We also ensure that companies joining WorkPEI are in good standing with various provincial and federal departments and can clearly demonstrate their physical location and nature of their operations in PEI.
How long does it take to have my information validated?
WorkPEI strives to perform its employer validation within 48 hours, however if your information is insufficient or we are unable to verify certain details about your operations in PEI it may take longer. We must also speak with you via telephone so if employers fail to respond to our calls it may delay our validation process.

When you register on WorkPEI your account must be validated, however while awaiting approval we allow you to post your first job listing. This job listing will be published once your employer account is approved.
At any time, to post a job visit your Dashboard where you’ll see the tab to “Manage Jobs”. Click this tab where you’ll see the link to “Post a Job”. Complete the form and click Submit.
Why can’t I see my job on the job board?
All jobs submitted by employers must be approved by WorkPEI staff before they will appear on our board. This is to ensure employers abide by our Terms of Use for employers and meet minimum wage requirements in Prince Edward Island. Most jobs are approved and published within a few hours of your submission.
Am I notified if I receive an application to my job listing?
Yes. You will receive an email with information on the applicant. If the user applied with an uploaded resume, you will receive the resume as an attachment to this email notification.
How can I view applications to my jobs?
WorkPEI provides employers with tools to monitor all active and expired job listings including any applications you’ve received.
Simply visit your main Dashboard and click on “Manage Jobs” where, if you have published or expired jobs, they will appear in a table. For each job, look to the right of the job listing where you’ll see an Applications column.
If you have applications, you’ll see a red box with the current number. Click on the box to view each application independently.
How can I manage applications to my jobs?
By clicking on the Applications box for each job you can view your applications. You can view their contact information and if they uploaded a resume it will be available to view or download.
You can also comment on each application and rate them using a scoring system. If you wish, you can download all of your applications to a CSV file if you wish to manage them offline.
