In Canada, it seems like there’s a large and growing number of remote jobs available at US software firms through employer-of-record startups like Deel and Remote. Canadian software engineers are surprisingly cheap, relatively speaking, especially when you hire outside the Toronto area.
Economic realities mean there’s quite a bit of downward pressure on CAD right now, so this is likely to continue to be a good deal on both sides for quite a while.
I’m still getting approached by recruiters for Canadian-based remote roles like it’s 2021.
I'm a Canadian resident already working for a US company. I've been out of the job-hopping game since COVID so curious what recruiters and platforms to start poking around on? LinkedIn, etc?
My advice is to check LinkedIn for listings but don’t apply that way. “Easy Apply” lowers application friction so effectively that every posting gets ~1000 applicants of which few are actually qualified. I don’t think I ever heard back on a LinkedIn-submitted application even for jobs where I had rare and directly applicable experience.
In the last six months I’ve been hired once after applying (on the website of the company itself) to s job posting I first saw on LinkedIn. I was poached shortly after via inbound from recruiter on LinkedIn
