What is your hope for the future of tech in BC?
We’re thrilled to have a growing presence in Vancouver given the city’s vibrant tech scene and highly-skilled talent. As more and more tech companies come to Vancouver, we believe that it’s important to support diversity and inclusion in the tech space to help grow the talent pool and meet the increasing demand for local talent. We’re very excited to see Indeed Vancouver develop roots in BC and become an active part of the community.
