Canada has long played a role in the HCM software maker’s global success: a number of senior leaders at the company are Canadian, Ceridian’s chairman and CEO David Ossip said.
The country has emerged not only as a global tech hub but also as a destination for companies like Ceridian that want to source world-class IT talent.
“Canadian universities produce outstanding talent that can compete with the best and the brightest anywhere in the world,” said Ozzie Goldschmied, Ceridian’s chief technology officer.
“We want these grads to stay in Canada, join our fast-growing cloud company, and work on amazing products that leverage the latest AI, machine-learning, and payments technologies.”
