Talent Acquisition Partner

Relay is a digital banking platform that gives self-made business owners the tools and know-how to be great with money—bringing clarity, confidence, and control to every dollar earned, so they can turn hard work into lasting success. We do this by replacing financial guesswork with real visibility, transforming cash flow from a constant source of stress into a clear signal owners can use to run stronger, more resilient businesses.

At Relay, recruiting is the engine that fuels our growth. As a Talent Acquisition Partner, you’re the closer, owning requisitions from start to finish. Our Talent Attractors drive top of funnel by generating interest and qualifying leads, while you build your pipeline, partner with hiring managers, source top talent, and deliver a world-class candidate experience.

Your impact will be measured in speed, quality, and predictability, and you'll achieve it by pushing boundaries, experimenting with new ideas, and raising the bar for how we hire. If you're energized by accountability, driven by metrics, and motivated to shape the future of the company through exceptional hiring, this is your seat.

Our Compensation Approach

We believe Relayers should feel rewarded for the impact they have on our mission and growth. Compensation follows impact. As impact increases, compensation grows, and we do not limit compensation changes to a once-a-year review cycle.

The annual salary range for this role is $94,500 CAD to $115,500 CAD.

For candidates who demonstrate full readiness for the defined scope of the role, the typical starting salary is $105,000 CAD per year. Offers below this point reflect candidates we believe can grow into the full scope of the role with support and development. Offers above this point reflect impact that meaningfully exceeds the role’s defined expectations or an expanded scope from day one.

We encourage you to have a conversation with your recruiter and ask questions about compensation throughout the hiring process. For more information on our compensation philosophy and perks and benefits, visit our Candidate Hub.
