Having doubled the size of its team during the COVID-19 pandemic, agile software solutions provider Adaptavist is now looking to continue the expansion of its Toronto office by onboarding more of the city\u2019s top talent.<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Over the past year, Toronto has strengthened its position as a thriving technology hub, attracting tech giants and innovative start-ups from all over the world seeking to benefit from one of the brightest and most diverse talent pools.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Founded in the U.K., global digital transformation leader, Adaptavist <\/a><\/strong>was one of the companies that identified the city\u2019s potential early on, expanding to Toronto in 2014. The rapidly growing team doubled in size during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, and it\u2019s current goal is to grow even further to support local clients, including the City of Toronto. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Toronto Global worked with it to expand its product development office in Toronto, seeking to capitalize on the technology talent pool in the Toronto Region<\/a>. Toronto Global provided Adaptavist with introductions to postsecondary institutions for potential partnership opportunities; information on the Toronto Region tech ecosystem, talent availability, tax credits and salaries compared to other Canadian and U.S. jurisdictions; and made introductions within the local business community. <\/p>\n

A growing Canada-based team<\/strong>
<\/p>

Since the Toronto office opened five years ago, it has succeeded in attracting some of the best tech talent the area has to offer. \u201cDespite the challenges faced over the last year, we managed to successfully transition to a fully remote working environment, and train and onboard more than 30 new local employees. Our Canada-based team currently accounts for almost 20 percent of our global workforce,\u201d says Harp Athwal, Managing Director of Adaptavist Canada and Global Head of Client Services. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In addition, it\u2018s Montreal team is still growing and recently moved into a new state-of-the-art office in the bustling Mile-Ex neighbourhood, near many of it\u2019s financial, IT and video game creation clients. Expansion in Calgary, Halifax and Ottawa has begun as well. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are a well-supported region within a global team, and in turn, strongly support local talent and professional growth within the company,\u201d says Harp Athwal. \u201cAdaptavist is a great place to build and advance a career in flourishing areas including DevOps, while focusing on our mission to help complex organizations transform and find advantage in a climate of constant change.\u201d<\/p>\n
