Standout Jobs

Standout Jobs is a new Montreal-based startup founded by Fred Ngo, Benjamin Yoskovitz and Austin Hill.

We believe:

• The job market is broken.
• Online job sites don’t work.
• Hiring people should be an ongoing process.
• Hiring people is about having conversations not bureaucracy.

Standout Jobs will change the face of recruiting. Are you hiring?
