One of my recruiting friends has a cool opening in a very, very cool new company. It’s a Government of Ontario project in the healthcare industry, doing a lot of serious IT stuff. It’s downtown (Yonge / College). They’re looking for an “HR Generalist” who can relate really well to IT people. Experience in healthcare and the public sector wouldn’t hurt, but isn’t required.

If you or anyone you know fits this description, please send me a resume and such to jeremy@ensight.org.

Here is the full description:
