Finding Canada’s New Tech Talent

Canada has 350,000 (40%) immigrants in ICT jobs with 192,000 jobs added by 2019. Many of these jobs will be filled by the 100,000s of new immigrants coming to Canada annually.

International tech recruitment firm VanHack will host the “VanHack Leap” event in collaboration with MaRS Discovery District in Toronto. The first event of its kind in Canada, VanHack is removing the remote part of hiring from abroad. VanHack’s event on May 24/25 is designed offer a peek into the global talent available for hire.

As Canada’s growing tech economy continues to expand, the ability for companies to hire and retain quality tech talent locally is becoming increasingly difficult. VanHack Founder and CEO, Ilya Brotzky says that his company’s scalable pipeline of pre-vetted international candidates will be the preferred global recruitment channel for all Canadian companies in 2018, from early stage startups to large, established technology companies in Canada.

“There is a misconception in Canada that hiring International talent is a slow and grueling process. The thought of having to deal with work permits and obtaining Visas seems daunting to a lot of HR teams. But this is not the case anymore.”

“With VanHack Leap, you no longer have to wonder what it’s like meeting and spending time with a candidate that you’re hiring from abroad. For the first time ever, companies don’t have to deal with the remote aspect of hiring globally.”
