With over 10 years of experience in the recruitment industry, my career journey has led me to a variety of roles such as a Staffing Specialist, Executive Recruiter, Account Manager & Executive Recruiter for staffing agencies; Recruiter & Assistant Business Liaison for Ontario Works; Human Resources Assistant; and Career Practitioner & Job Developer for Nova Scotia Works. My specialty is helping employers overcome the challenges of finding the right person who’s the best fit for a job.
Recently I’ve noticed a strong need for more guidance and specialized recruitment services from companies struggling to hire qualified workers. As people return to work during a pandemic, they’re being more selective when choosing which company to work for. I want to give job seekers access to the best jobs within the Finance & Accounting industry. The level of empathy, drive, and dedication that I put into my profession are incomparable.
Listed below are various jobs within the Financial services industry in Canada. Relocation costs may be covered for some positions, and remote work is also available for some roles. To apply for positions currently available, review the job postings below.
