Startup Hiring & Growth

Canada’s startup and emerging-business community plays an important role in creating new ideas, services, technologies and employment opportunities. But growing a company also creates one of the most difficult challenges for an emerging business: finding the right people while competing against organizations with greater name recognition, larger recruitment budgets and established employer brands.

Canada Job Expo’s Startup Hiring & Growth hub is designed to help startups and growing businesses strengthen their approach to recruitment, employer visibility and talent-pipeline development.

Here you will find practical Canadian resources on attracting talent, making early hires, building employer recognition, meeting candidates face-to-face and preparing for future workforce needs as your business grows.

For startups ready to connect directly with candidates, Canada Job Expo also provides opportunities to participate in established in-person recruitment events and build visibility among people actively exploring employment and career opportunities.

This guide explores how growing companies can use visibility, direct candidate engagement, face-to-face recruitment and talent-pipeline development to turn being smaller into a recruitment advantage.
