Updated 2023-24 alis web traffic forecasts
Alis’ traffic continues to increase each quarter. Based on first quarter web traffic data, we've updated our 2023-24 alis traffic forecasts as follows:
- Web Visits: 5.1 million (up from last fiscal year’s 5.0 million)
- Pageviews: 13.7 million (up from last fiscal year’s 13.6 million)
With several new career planning features scheduled to release this fiscal, we hope to continue helping more Albertans plan their careers each year.
Alis Milestone: Over 20,000 active job postings
Part of the increase in visitors is owed to the record number of jobs posted on alis in recent months. It’s common to see more than 20,000 simultaneous active job postings on the site.
These job postings are based on a bilingual data feed from Canada's Job Bank. In addition to using the occupational information and career planning tools available on alis, we encourage employment counsellors to introduce their clients to the Job Bank's excellent Resume Builder and Job Match tools for even more intensive job search supports.
It's also important to note that alis and the Job Bank are just one source of job postings and do not represent a comprehensive view of Alberta's labour market demand (the Government of Alberta, for example, does not advertise any of its positions on the Job Bank). There are many other job banks out there and some reports have suggested that approximately 75% of job openings are never posted at all but are filled through networking contacts, work-integrated learning, collaborations with career services providers, and other non-advertised means.
While the steady growth in job postings on alis is definitely being driven by Alberta's growing economic recovery, it's fair to say that at least a portion of the growth is attributable to alis (and the vast network of employment services providers who use the site with their clients) offering a free, high traffic, high value space to promote targeted employment opportunities to Albertans. Over the past 12 months, for instance, our Alberta Job Postings section has seen 2.3 million pageviews (including 40,000 views of our French language postings).
We thank you for your support of alis, and we look forward to further growth and enhancements to our Alberta Job Postings section over the years to come.
