Over the last few years this had changed significantly. With skill shortages on the rise, the human capital needs of firms rising and a pandemic complicating everything, it has made the process of attracting and securing the right talent much more challenging for these firms. Even the CPA associations across Canada have ramped up their recruiting activities to support this process over the past few years.
