About Syndesus 

Syndesus was founded in 2014 with a unique strategy: Connect top tier Canadian tech talent with remote opportunities with cutting edge US tech startups and high growth companies.  

We still do that. But we have expanded to help both US and Canadian companies hire top tier tech talent. We partner with venture-backed startups, growth-stage technology companies, and established organizations across Canada and the United States. Our clients engage us to solve difficult hiring challenges where quality matters more than volume. 

The Opportunity

Performance is measured by candidate quality, recruiter acceptance rates, screen-to-submission conversion, interview generation, and overall contribution to the recruiting team.
