Hidden Companies (Toronto)

Posted on | Edited on | In | Comments:

There are a lot job websites we use to seek a job, like LinkedIn, GlassDoor, Indeed, Monster.

But there is still a ton of jobs outside those popular sites. And also, most of time, we are interested in opportunities in our local area.

I did find a lot hidden companies that not easy to be aware of(based in Toronto). Usually due to the following reasons:

  • They don’t have physical offices in Toronto, but support remote working:
    Stripe
    Github
    DataDog
    Zapier

  • They are actually good ones/Unicorns, but they only run a tiny team in Toronto, thus less advertised and less presence:
    Etsy
    Snap: Through acquisition of Bitmoji
    Okta
    iHerb
    Pivotal (CloudFoundry)
    Instacart: This one is getting bigger and bigger in Toronto.

Many companies entered Toronto tech scene through acquiring local startups

  • They are emerging startups, but some of them will become popular.
