New self-service tool to support Greater Montréal employers

TalentMontreal.com helps connect local businesses with foreign talent seeking employment opportunities in Greater Montréal. Anyone interested can apply for the jobs advertised and find information on key industries, in-demand skills, the immigration process, and life in Greater Montréal.

An improved Employer Space

Greater Montréal employers were already able to purchase posting packages that allowed them to advertise jobs, communicate with applicants, and hold interviews remotely. However, they had to contact us to proceed with the transaction.

Thanks to our new tool, they can now purchase those packages and manage their options online throughout the year from their Employer Space. This new feature is a great addition to the custom-made services that were developed over the past months, including:

• Monthly or annual job posting packages
• Participation in recruitment missions directly on the TalentMontreal.com platform or that of the Ministère de l’Immigration, de la Francisation et de l’Intégration
• Personalised assistance in obtaining work permits for hired foreign talent
• Specialised training sessions (offered in French) on the temporary work permit and related employer obligations

The Employer Space can also be used to set up a corporate profile, advertise jobs, and define selection criteria. Please contact us to get yours.

Two must-attend upcoming recruitment missions

Montréal International, in partnership with the Government of Québec, organizes international recruitment events throughout the year. Tailored to the needs of the labour market, the events are specifically geared toward industries in search of qualified labour. The next recruitment events are scheduled for spring 2022, but employers should register early:

• Journées Québec Tech – Information technology
  April 25 to May 1, 2022 (employers must register by February 21)
  Focus on 5 to 8 countries in Europe, Maghreb, West Africa and Latin America
• Journées Québec France – Multi-industry event
  June 13 to 18, 2022 (employers must register by February 18)
