An unprecedented global pandemic has flipped everything we know on its head with employers across the city, province and country having transitioned their teams to be fully remote for the foreseeable future.
Fortunately tech talent is one of the most resilient professions in any economic downturn, and this has been particularly so during the COVID-19 crisis by facilitating business productivity and supporting critical infrastructure.
Job seekers now face a new hurdle: how to navigate the virtual environment in order to successfully apply, interview, and land their dream jobs.
According to commercial real estate firm CBRE, tech talent is poised for post-pandemic growth, especially in Toronto which was named one of the top four markets in North America for technology talent.
