Hi everyone! Another non-Vancouver Vancouverite here (Port Moody lol). Question for you all - we're hiring a couple of marketers right now and we've had some trouble finding good candidates. A recruiter told us its "well-known that it's really hard to find good marketers in Vancouver." Is this true? Have ya'll heard this before?

Huh, weird. That kinda smells like BS to me. Especially because this Vancouver group is already one of our bigger local channels 😅

I hired a handful of junior marketers out of Vancouver for an agency a few years ago and never really had any problems.

I think a bigger challenge is that remote work means it's way more lucrative for Vancouver folks/Canadians to work remotely for US companies and get US dollars

Hi Kelly! I think this is completely untrue, I’ve worked with some pretty great marketers over the years and think they’re all swell. Happy to pass on the job to my network as well if you’d like to send it over!
