After slipping in 2023, Toronto recently reclaimed its fourth-place position in the CBRE’s new Scoring Tech Talent ranking.
According to CBRE, the city’s resurgence comes from the addition of 95,900 tech jobs between 2018 and 2023, a growth of 44 percent. The organization called it “a dose of good news for Canada’s largest city in the face of economic challenges, brutal traffic, and layoffs across the tech industry.”
Many companies are doubling down on Toronto talent. Yesterday, Stripe opened a new office in the city alongside plans to hire 50 team members in the city.
Here are three more companies looking to hire tech workers in the Greater Toronto Area. Check out all the organizations recruiting at Jobs.BetaKit for more opportunities.
