Summary and key stats

Here’s what this Ontario snapshot shows across the RCIP/FCIP communities as per QuestJobs data and research;

Total active postings in RCIP / FCIP in Ontario on QuestJobs: 354

Top communities with the most job openings in the last 45 days : Greater Sudbury / Timmins / North Bay

Most common sectors showing up in our data : Healthcare & home care, social services, skilled trades/manufacturing, mining/resources, and retail/customer service.

Why these are “top hiring companies”

There are almost 1,000 RCIP and FCIP-eligible jobs across Canada as of the writing of this article. Ontario communities are consistently among the most active.

In the last 45 days, QuestJobs evaluated active employer job activity, and the companies below are ranked based on the number of postings in the snapshot, repeated hiring activity and consistency of job availability in the community ecosystem

These employers are worth prioritizing because they appear to be repeat recruiters, which usually means they have steady workforce demand, they understand the hiring process and they’re often more responsive to qualified applicants.
