I hate lazy rip offs and this one stinks all around.

Run­ning a job board isn’t a new idea. Nor is being inspired by the way another com­pany runs their job board. But copy­ing all the brand­ing, func­tion­al­ity and pretty much the whole web­site is wrong on every level.

Authen­tic Jobs Canada (I’m not giv­ing them a link) has copied almost every­thing about what Cameron Moll and his team at Authen­tic Jobs built up — includ­ing a Cana­dian ver­sion of the domain name and quick Word­Press based job board theme.

I can only guess that the legal has­sles involved for Cameron don’t make it worth going after these jackasses.

Orig­i­nal Version

Scum­bag Rip off

The prob­lem really becomes appar­ent when I, as some­one located in Canada, does a Google search for Authen­tic Jobs. This is what I see:

If I’m a Cana­dian busi­ness owner look­ing to hire and I’ve heard good things about some “Authen­tic Jobs” list­ing ser­vice, I’m likely going to skip down to the .CA version.

Not only does Cameron run a qual­ity job site, he also puts a lot of effort into the charity:water ini­tia­tive which has raised thou­sands of dol­lars for the charity.

I’m just post­ing this so that hope­fully some­body who does a search comes across this and decides to use the authen­tic Authen­tic Jobs site and not the scummy Authen­tic Jobs Canada rip off.
