Montréal, December 21, 2016 – Closing out the year on a high note, Videotron has been named a Top Recruiter of 2016 in Canada by LinkedIn. Videotron obtained the highest score across all industries in the big company category. The score is based on the activity level and effectiveness of recruiters on the social network, which is popular with professionals in all spheres.
Videotron is very proud of this recognition from LinkedIn, one of the largest social platforms for professionals, said Alain Charlebois, Vice President, Human Resources of Videotron. Videotron's focus on customer experience, which is embedded in its DNA, has earned the company a slew of honours during the past year. Now the spotlight has been turned on the recruiting experience and the experience of our future employees. The fast-changing job market and recruiting environment are prompting companies to rethink their ways of doing things.
