This particular challenge focuses on helping Wenco develop a strategy to recruit talent in a hot Vancouver market.

We are currently facing an enormous challenge in the area of recruitment. Recruiting technology professionals in Vancouver (and the entire lower mainland area) has proven to be extremely difficult as more and more companies are targeting the same candidates. We are looking for creative ways to attract new employees. We would like suggestions on improving our postings, methods of recruitment and benefits within the organization (including education on what the norms are) in order to recruit top talent.

To help us deliver our goal to recruit top talent, students are expected to:

• Research our current recruitment strategy, and highlight areas for improvement
• Compare Wenco's overall benefits, programs and processes to benchmark technology companies in the area (including outside companies such as Amazon and Microsoft who have established local offices)
• Create a plan to help Wenco recruit top talent in a hot market
