Talent Programs
Our Talent Programs are open to all tech companies, but targeted at second stage (250K+ revenue/10+ employees) to fifth stage (25MM+/100+ employees) companies. They are designed to support growth and development by increasing the size and quality of the tech talent pool and by helping companies hire, train, and retain their people. These programs, events, and initiatives focus on all HR, recruitment, and talent challenges.
It’s hard for tech companies to find, attract, source, and successfully recruit top talent. BC Tech has put together several resources and events that can help you through this journey. Whether it’s participating in a Talent Day, attending a Talent Meetup, or posting job opportunities on BCtechjobs.ca, BC Tech has a long history of connecting companies with the right people to grow their teams.
