Hiring and job seeking in Toronto & the GTA — plain answers
Go to Post a Job on worktap.ca, fill out the single-page form with your listing details and how applicants should reach you. Every submission is reviewed before it appears on the board. After you submit, you will see optional boost options if you want top placement.
Open a job that interests you and use the apply option the employer provided. Usually a link to their site, an email address, or a phone number. Worktap does not have a resume upload box or message inbox in version one. You apply directly with the employer.
No. Candidates browse and apply without logging in. Employers submit listings through the post form without a separate employer login account.
Worktap focuses on hourly and hands-on work in Toronto and the GTA: restaurant and bar work (kitchen, front of house, bar, cafe), skilled trades (electrician, HVAC, plumber, carpenter, roofer, painter, drywall, concrete, general labour), and building maintenance. We do not list office or white-collar roles, and we do not accept staffing agency postings.
Worktap is focused on Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area, including Mississauga, Brampton, Markham, Vaughan, Scarborough, North York, Etobicoke, and nearby suburbs. Listings far outside that scope may not fit what we publish.
Yes. One live listing at a time is free, permanently, with no account and no card. That does not expire when paid options arrive later. An optional $49 CAD one-time boost pins a listing to the top of its category if you want it seen first.
Most listings are reviewed within one business day. We check that posts look legitimate, include enough detail for workers, and fit our Toronto/GTA hourly-work focus. If something is missing, we may email you before publishing.
Listings stay active for 30 days from approval, then expire automatically. If you still need to hire, submit a fresh post or contact us to extend.
Yes. Hourly workers in Toronto expect to see pay before they apply. Posts with a clear rate or range get better applicants and fewer wasted calls. Vague lines like competitive salary hurt response on hourly boards.
Worktap is Toronto and GTA first, built for restaurant, trades, and building maintenance work rather than generic office recruiting. Pay is shown on every listing, we do not accept recruiter or agency postings, and workers apply directly without creating a Worktap account or uploading a resume.
Yes. Many Toronto employers post part-time, casual, and weekend roles on Worktap. Say so clearly in your title or description. Workers search by schedule as much as by job type.
No. We give every listing a basic legitimacy review before publishing and remove posts that look misleading or fraudulent. That is not employer verification, a background check, or a guarantee about any employer. Use normal caution when you apply and when you attend an interview.
We collect only what we need to run the board, mainly emails you provide for alerts or employer notifications and the information in job postings. We do not sell your data. See our Privacy Policy at worktap.ca/privacy for details.
Yes. Every listing carries a report link, and the form at worktap.ca/report takes under a minute. You can report anonymously. We aim to complete a first review within one business day and we may hide the listing while we look at it. Our policy is at worktap.ca/fraud-policy. Never pay money to get a job.
Browse worktap.ca/jobs/construction for carpentry, electrical, plumbing, concrete, drywall, roofing, painting, and general labour. HVAC has its own section at worktap.ca/jobs/hvac, covering service technicians, refrigeration, sheet metal, and gas fitting. You can also explore location pages like worktap.ca/jobs/in/scarborough for east-end openings.
Visit worktap.ca/jobs/restaurants, or go straight to the section that matches the work: /jobs/kitchen for line cook, prep, and dishwasher roles, /jobs/front-of-house for server and host, /jobs/bar for bartender and barback, and /jobs/cafe for barista. Hotel work sits separately at worktap.ca/jobs/hotels. Pay and neighbourhood are shown on each listing before you apply.
Yes. The board is mobile-first. Most hourly workers browse between shifts on their phone. You can scroll listings, read full posts, and tap to apply without downloading an app.
Many Toronto restaurant roles and entry-level trades helper roles accept little or no prior experience if you are reliable and available. Read each post carefully. Employers usually say when certification or years of experience are required.
Check worktap.ca/jobs regularly or sign up for email alerts on worktap.ca/signup if you want notifications when new roles go live in categories you care about.
Email hello@worktap.ca or use the contact form at worktap.ca/contact. We aim to reply within one business day for employer and job-seeker questions.
