Looking for a new job? Newly launched Eluta might be the tool you need, at least, if you live in Canada.

Eluta is a full fledged search engine, not a standard job posting site, which indexes new job listings directly from employers’ websites with its own crawling technology. It claims to monitor almost every employer in Canada, updating its database 24/7. Users can search for jobs by keyword phrases and location, and set up email notifications for new listings.

Listings are free to employers, and there’s no pay-for-placement option available. Instead, Eluta works off of pure relevancy, listing the most relevant results at the top of the SERP. It also claims to utilize special prediction algorithms that analyze current hiring trends within a region, identifying potential employers before they post new jobs.

I checked our company out and Eluta returned nothing. We have a handful of jobs currently listed on our site, and I tired using all keywords related to them. However, Eluta has a site submission feature, so if you’re not listed then that’s the ticket. There’s also an expiry date of 30 days for job postings within the index.

More features:

• Advanced search lets you delineate by occupation, industry, job title and employer, or change the geographic area of your search.
• Some search results are marked with a ‘Top 100’ link, which means that employer is on the list of Canada’s top 100 employers. This link leads to an article about that employer.
• If there’s a ‘TCD Review’ link, it means that employer is ranked as one of the best college and university graduate employers in Canada.
• A ‘Similar Jobs’ link provides access to related jobs in the same geographic area.
• Eluta offers suggestions if the user makes spelling mistakes.
• Pop-up boxes with brief descriptions of the employer and job are available when you hover your mouse over the text of a returned result.
