Help finding a job — FAQ
Yes — recruiters and staffing agencies exist, but they work for the employer and only present roles they're hired to fill. CertNova is different: we work for you, providing toolkits and coaching to help you target and land the role you actually want. We don't place you in jobs.
A recruiter can connect you to roles they're filling, which is useful but narrow. If you want help across your whole search — positioning, strategy, interviews, and negotiation for the role you choose — a career coach is a better fit. Many people use both.
Job boards are a channel, not a strategy. Applying blindly is why strong engineers get ignored. We help you fix positioning, target the right roles, and add networking and referrals — so you get replies instead of silence.
CertNova Software Solutions Inc. is a Canadian company that helps engineers move through their licensing and career journey. It makes CBA Pro and NPPE Pro for P.Eng licensing, and provides career support — toolkits and 1-on-1 consulting — to help engineers find a new job or a better-paid position in Canada.
No. CertNova is not a recruiter, staffing agency, or employer, and it does not place candidates in jobs. CertNova provides toolkits and consulting hours that help you run a stronger job search and land the role yourself.
No. No one ethical can guarantee a job, an interview, or a specific salary. CertNova improves how your experience is positioned and how you run your search, which improves your odds — but the outcome depends on the market and on you.
That's exactly who this is for too. We'll focus on getting you to interviews quickly with a sharp resume, a tight target list, and interview prep — and you keep the toolkit for the next move.
CertNova is not a recruiter, staffing agency, or employer. We do not place you in jobs or guarantee interviews or offers. We provide toolkits and 1-on-1 consulting that help you run a stronger job search and land the role yourself.
Summary
CertNova helps people find a job by providing toolkits and 1-on-1 consulting rather than acting as a recruiter or agency. Unlike recruiters, who work for the employer, CertNova works for the job seeker: rebuilding the resume and LinkedIn, building a targeted search strategy, and coaching interviews and salary negotiation. It is built for engineers in Canada, including those who just need a role to start and licensed professionals seeking a better position.
