Shalene Rahaman
Manager, Talent Acquisition & Total Rewards
I am someone that likes to find solutions to problems, celebrate the small wins (because, why not?), and help others thrive. I have the opportunity to do all of those, while being surrounded by truly amazing people at Pelmorex!
Fun fact - 78% of the time you will find me with a hot coffee/tea in hand.
Isha Jani
Talent Acquisition Specialist
I am a Mom to a 4 year old and flexibility at work matters to me. Not only is Pelmorex mindful of that but it also finds the best possible ways for me to excel at work while continuing to be a fun Mom!
I manage recruitment for Technology, Product, Finance, Corporate Development, Video Editorial business units and enjoy finding talented individuals and helping them in their career choices. I feel proud and grateful to be a part of a team that ensures a safe, inclusive, growth promoting and fun environment.
Harrish Thivaharan
Talent Acquisition Specialist
I am an avid cricketer and die-hard Manchester United fan, born and raised in London (not the Canadian one). My entire career has focused on tech recruitment from junior to exec level hiring and I look after the Data & Sales recruitment here. I love how Pelmorex allows me to be unapolagetically myself and keeps me on my toes by welcoming a slightly different challenge every day.
Abneet Gill
Talent Acquisition Specialist
I am a fitness fanatic and I love all things people and culture! Pelmorex gives me the flexibility to take care of myself while still contributing to the org. I support the Talent Acquisition and Total Rewards team on various projects and recruiting initiatives. I absolutely love how transparent and supportive we all are. Everyone brings a different perspective - I wouldn’t change a thing (#MyTeamIsBetterThanYours)
Joëlle Lapointe
Human Resources Business Partner
I have worked at Pelmorex for several years, managing recruitment and HR processes for our Montreal office and when people ask me why, I always answer the same thing: for its mission and its people. Here, I work for the good of the community within a remarkably human team. Values such as compassion, inclusion and personal well-being are really put forward. I love meeting new people and seeing them thrive with us.
