Senior Recruiter

Elevate Careers, Strengthen Teams, and Shape Organizational Success

CPA Ontario is not like other organizations

We operate at a rare intersection, both regulator and membership body, responsible for upholding the integrity of the CPA designation while supporting more than 105,000 members and 19,000 students across the province. Our work sits between business and the public interest, between the evolving demands of industry and the standards that make trust possible.

Careers built here tend to look different because the work itself is different. You are not simply contributing to an organization. You are helping shape a profession that touches nearly every sector of the economy at a moment when expectations, technology, and the nature of work are all being rewritten.

The Recruitment team is an integral part of CPA Ontario. We work across the organization, with every Business Unit to offer advisory and subject matter expertise on everything from job descriptions to hiring strategy to offer negotiations, before handing off to HR Operations for onboarding. Our focus is on providing a smooth and easy process for hiring managers and exceptional experience for our candidates.
