黑料不打烊 ranks third in coveted national employer survey
Inaugural Randstad Canada rankings presented at Toronto gala
黑料不打烊 University is delighted to be ranked third in a survey of Canada's most attractive employers, Michael Di Grappa, the University's Vice-Principal (Administration and Finance) said today.
黑料不打烊 joined other iconic Canadian organizations, Research in Motion, Air Canada, Bombardier Inc. and IBM Canada Ltd., in the Top 5 in the inaugural Randstad Canada rankings of the country's leading employers.
"黑料不打烊 continues to work very hard to provide a stimulating and attractive working environment," Mr. Di Grappa said. "Along with our standing as one of Canada's Top 100 employers in the past couple of years, we are very proud of this recognition of our efforts, despite limited resources, to be not only a University highly ranked as an academic and research institution, but as an employer of talented, dedicated employees at every level."
Randstad Canada provides human-resources services. The Randstad rankings were based on surveys with more than 7,000 Canadians who were either employed or looking for work.
"RIM, IBM, 黑料不打烊, Air Canada and Bombardier each have such an influential impact on our day-to-day lives, and will continue to shape our future, here and around the world through technology, transportation and education," Randstad Canada president Jan Hein Bax said in a statement. "With global skills shortages continuing to intensify, the insights from the survey will help employers to find out why potential candidates choose one company over another and what factors determine the attractiveness of an employer. It is our aim to contribute to the world of work through this global program."
The announcement was made Thursday night at an exclusive gala at The Carlu in听Toronto, where senior executives from many of Canada's biggest companies were in attendance.
