VidCruiter Adding 20 New Jobs With Support From ONB
MONCTON— Moncton-based VidCruiter plans to create up to 20 new full-time jobs thanks to support from the provincial government.
VidCruiter is a human resources-centred company that provides video recruitment and online hiring solutions.
Through Opportunities NB, the company will receive payroll rebates of $153,900 to support its hiring plan.
“VidCruiter’s growth exemplifies both the innovation that exists in our province and the business confidence that is fueling our economy,” said Arlene Dunn, minister responsible for Opportunities NB.
“We are proud to have many strong information and communications technology companies in our province and are excited to see these players scale on the world stage.”
Founded in 2009, the company has grown tremendously through the pandemic.
“Without a doubt, the COVID-19 pandemic has been an inflection point for the video recruitment space,” said J-F Poirier, head of strategic partnerships for VidCruiter.
“The increased demand and accelerated adoption have allowed us to double the size of our team in just under a year,” added Poirier.
“Video interviews are being adopted by a number of organizations already and we will likely continue to see a rise in the use of video interviews as opposed to in-person interviews, especially during the early screening stages of the hiring process.’’
