Despite the changes that the pandemic has wrought, recruiters in the Great White North have responded well. But competition for assignments is fierce and candidates are in the driver’s seat. To land the top prospects, companies must go beyond compensation to win – and retain – the best and brightest.
For executive recruiters, Canada has been a particularly good place to set up shop. The country hosts an expanding number of diversified industries and dynamic growth sectors that are well-positioned to beckon talent. The pandemic has changed the business landscape for everyone, of course, from recruiters to businesses to candidates. And that has made competition for talent heated, with the best candidates seeing multiple job offers.
