Hi everyone! I have 7 years of IT recruitment, HR and talent acquisition experience. I am from India and moved to Canada a year ago and now working with a product organization as a Senior TA Specialist. At the moment, this company is not doing that well and our team may face the brunt. I have 2 questions:

1) Could you suggest any relevant courses that I can take up to upscale my current role? I am interested in Team Management and Operations.

2) Any good opportunities in and out of Ontario?

TIA

You should post in the job referral bowl. YOu may be able to get some leads in there. That bowl has been super helpful for me in terms of leads. You could also try over on Linked in. I usually have good luck over there! Best of luck to you.

I think you should consider doing some of the HR certifications to boost credibility, that seems to really help. The job referral bowl or Canada specific bowls might be useful for point 2

Good Morning all,

Since I pivoted into TA (from the Wild West known as Finance) Tech Recruiting has always been the goal. But I’m having a hard time finding a way to get into that space (I do understand there’s a hiring crisis). Nevertheless, does anyone know of tech companies that are hiring? I may be low on the experience side so I’m willing to look at contract/ entry roles as well. Also, any advice will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
