Frontier is different. Are you?

At Frontier, collaboration happens on all fronts—on each touch point from concept to execution.

We value our respective skill sets and abilities and often help one another to sharpen our skills to understand how to best achieve our goals and the goals of our clients. We live all over Canada and work nationally. Together, we work hard, we laugh a lot, we brainstorm nonstop, we send hundreds of Slack messages a week, and we give the best high-fives in town. We love our work, and we want you to love yours too. We’re always looking for weird, smart, and independent thinkers to join the team.

We are committed to our people.

  • Frontier is a remote-first organization with a fantastic office space for those who live in Victoria. Full orgranization meetings and celebrations are hybrid and we bring everyone together in person once per year.

    In 2017 we moved into our beautiful open office in the Harris Green neighbourhood. We spend our days surrounded by natural light, ample break out space, and the best coworkers in the world, and a short walk from the best breakfast bagels in town.

  • At Frontier, we work on a Core Hours model, where everyone collaborates from 10am to 2pm PT Monday to Thursday. The rest of your time is based on when you work best! We have early birds who work best at 7am and night owls who do their best work at 7pm.

  • We encourage our staff to be healthy and active. To that end, at Frontier, we offer a comprehensive extended health care plan with a health care spending account. We also offer competitive wages ($21+) to even the most entry-level of our full-time staff.

  • Frontier is in the business of empowering charities by helping to change the way Canadians spend their money. We support employees to give by matching 50 cents per dollar that an employee donates through Charitable Impact—up to $500 per year—to give you more money to donate to your favourite causes.

  • We understand that you have a life outside of work and that life will sometimes take priority over your commitment to Frontier (*gasp*). We offer extremely flexible work schedules, generous vacation time (even in the first year of employment), sick days, and a full time work week of 32 hours. No excuses for missing your kid’s recital.

  • Whether we’re attending conferences, doing internal apprenticeships, taking online courses, or some personal professional reading, we are constantly learning and growing. We’ll do whatever we can to help you do the same. To that end, we also have an annual Staff Retreat to pause, reflect, and set goals for the year ahead.

 

The Frontier Hiring Process

To maintain our standard of excellence and hire people who are as passionate about their work as they are about finding the perfect GIF, we have a multi-step hiring process. Don’t be intimidated (or do).

  1. Frontier sorts through resumes to select short-list candidates.  

  2. A Personality Style Indicator Questionnaire is sent to applicants selected for interview. 

  3. Interview final applicants.

  4. Internal debrief regarding the initial perception of skills, aptitude, fit for the position, and personality fit within Frontier culture.

  5. Test projects may be given to the selected candidate, depending on the role.

  6. Internal debrief on quality and timeliness of work and fit within the Frontier team. 

  7. Debrief with the candidate (via email or in-person) after the test project. They are then either paid for their time on the test project or offered a 6-month probationary contract. 

  8. A six-month probationary contract could be terminated at any time if the candidate’s quality of work deteriorates or there is friction with the team and culture (severance is given after three months).

  9. Upon successful completion of the six-month probationary contract, the candidate is offered an ongoing role as an employee of Frontier and is given access to all employee perks and benefits.
