We were on CBC Radio

TalentOyster was covered in a CBC Radio One news piece on Sunday March 14th. The topic was increasing hiring, and the increased diversity hiring expected by Canadian employers over the remainder of the year.

This is a follow up on our press-release about the survey we recently ran on diversity hiring. We had a better than expected response from HR and recruiting persons from across the country and the results were pretty positive for those looking for work.

You can listen to a clip of the piece including a brief excerpt of an interview with TalentOysters very own John Sutton on our site
