12 Canadian companies hiring right now
These ventures are looking for their next MVPs.
What does the Blue Jays’ remarkable post season run have to do with landing a job at a Canadian tech startup? According to Rose Duggan of Blue J, quite a bit.
The company’s VP of culture notes a surprising number of candidates mistakenly apply for a role with the baseball team, and not Blue J — which, according to Duggan, is “an easy way to weed out candidates.”
On a positive note, the company, which develops generative AI tools for accountants and tax lawyers, is navigating massive growth right now — exciting news for more detail-oriented candidates. Currently, Blue J is looking for candidates who are “excited about solving tough problems, making a huge impact on the industry and doing it in a fun environment,” says Duggan.
