About this listen

 This series covers how Canadian tech companies recruit global talent, with a spotlight on Canada’s Global Talent Stream (GTS) program.

In each episode, our host will chat with industry leaders about building global tech teams, experiences with GTS, and how AI trends are changing the way companies find and hire talent.Thomas Braun Economics
