Passion Inc. was founded in 1994 by brothers Mark and Nathan Laurie from their student residence in Halifax, Nova Scotia with $500 in savings and the dream of graduating from Dalhousie University debt-free. While studying full-time, the brothers built a company supplying university residences with free wall calendars that helped students stay organized and allowed advertisers to reach the elusive 18–24-year-old market. Passion Inc. has been ranked by Profit Magazine as one of Canada's fastest growing companies. In 1997 it was the ACE/CIBC Student Entrepreneurs of the Year and in 2000 the BDC recognized us as the Top Young Entrepreneurs in Ontario. That same year the EDC selected Passion Inc. as the Top Young Exporters in Canada. In February 2004, we received the Arthur Kroeger Management Award from Carleton University as a result of our unique business model.

Passion Inc. believes in building its business on making a difference. The two biggest issues Passion Inc. is working on right now are youth employment and the Public School System. We would like Canadians to learn from Passion Inc. and use it as a model for building a different type of company that focuses its energy on social issues. Our rapid growth is proof that the private sector can successfully build a business based on helping people. This theme is woven through our company's fabric and affects every decision we make.


Passion Inc. is made up of two divisions focused on making a difference:

jobpostings is Canada's largest campus recruiting network for university and college students. We put the millennial generation face-to-face with cover stories on hot topics, the latest news on employment trends, information on internships and co-op placements, part-time job opportunities, job hunting and career advice, and in-depth features on real jobs in industries coast to coast. We’re here to bridge the gap between students and the employers, as well as the educational institutions they want to hear about.

Jobpostings.ca is now Canada’s top online student job network, helping post-secondary students find their first internships, co-ops, and entry-level jobs to launch their careers.

ApplyToEducation is a company that makes a difference in K-12 education for both students and administrators. We develop a web-based software solution to manage talent from  date  of hire until they retire. Schools can manage job postings, fill daily supply openings, and schedule interviews in one system to simplify their processes and save administrators time. In today’s employment market, those who move the fastest get where they need to go first. Our software is the engine over 5,500 schools in 49 countries  rely  on to drive results.


We go everywhere. jobpostings magazine is a campus magazine with a national distribution to every major college and university campus in the country (excluding exclusively French-speaking institutions). Add to that our website and e-magazine and you’re assured of reaching Canada's post-secondary student population anywhere, anytime.

When you advertise with us, you’re joining forces with the country's largest on-campus recruitment network. Our team has over 40 years combined experience in campus recruitment, and we put our knowledge to work for you. Jobpostings helps your company reach campuses you can't visit in person, making sure you're on the radar of all Canada's top candidates. Raise your company's profile on campus and generate a new lead source of potential candidates, or drive student traffic back to your recruitment portal—we build our business on helping you make a difference.
