Hidden Jewel

Aside from writing creative compositions.
I like searching for Jobs.

Today I want to introduce a hidden gem of Montreal.


This company was 

• Awarded #1 Best Employer in Quebec for year 2012.
• Listed in the Top 50 Best Small and Medium Employers in Canada for year 2012.
• Listed in the Montreal's Top 20 Employers for 2012
• and the list continues.

This is Vigilant Global.

Vigilant's awesomeness is NOT ONLY in that they offer the following:

• Fully catered breakfast and lunch daily
• Health and wellness services
• RRSP group plan with matching company contributions
• Gym membership
• Blackberry
• Daycare subsidy
• Transportation allowance (train, bus/metro, BIXI or parking)
• 3 weeks vacation at start with subsequent increases based on years of service
• Maternity/Paternity/Parental leave top-ups

OR that it is fashionably placed on the 14th floor of a tall building in Mid-Downtown.

 (See if you recognize the place:)

OR that It also adorns itself with a lovely reception area (with sweets, mind you) and a 'games room'!

BUT in that Vigilant strives to make the community (Montreal) a better place for everyone especially youths.

For example, their employees and founders alike spend many hours in commitment to volunteer work in areas such as 

First Robotics Competition: where they were 'extensively' involved with the whole process of helping out a high school start a robotics program to sponsoring the whole competition itself! (mind you it is a very big competition featuring participants from all across North America and some parts of South America)

In September last year (2011),  "Vigilantes donned bright orange t-shirts to solicit spare change from Montrealers for a good cause: National Raise-a-Reader day.
On the 10^th anniversary of Raise-a-Reader, the organization raised upwards of $1.75 million for Canadian organizations devoted to providing family literacy programs. All the funds raised in the community stay in the community.

Well, the total is in and Vigilant Futures helped raise $23, 000 in Montreal alone."

These are only examples of their good deed. (For more, you can check out their blog which is linked on their website)


I had the delightful honor of working with them (or rather seeing them do these good deeds close up)

Trust me. The people called "Vigilantes" at this company sometimes confuse themselves for social workers. That is how much devotion they show to "advance youth".


If you are like me, and you don't like to work for money. You want to work for something you can value in your heart. This is an awesome place to be.
