Another potential labour pool: International students
Montréal International also invites Montréal employers to recruit from an overlooked talent pool: international students and new international graduates. Many students are looking for a part-time or full-time job and could be a great addition to a team. They are highly skilled, multilingual and motivated individuals looking for a work experience during or after their studies. They reflect the diversity a large number of companies are seeking to become more innovative and creative. Montréal International, through its I choose Montréal initiative, offers free solutions to help your company fill positions that require up to three years of experience.
