Why Join Us?

Quite simply: it’s fun and rewarding to work with colleagues who truly care about what they’re doing. Doing better than we did the day before is what gets us out of bed in the morning, and as a company, we’re adamant about being a place that people enjoy coming to work at every day. Our people are our greatest asset, and we don’t make any mistake about that. We invest in our people just as they invest in us.

One of the things our colleagues love most about Outshine is our approach to work.

The biggest difference? We’re all doers.

From the president to the analyst, we all lead, we all do, and we are all accountable to our clients and to each other. Every single person on the Outshine team has just as much ownership within the company as the partners do—it’s the secret sauce to us producing the best results for our clients.

What We Value

Our values are our guiding principles—they drive the decisions made at Outshine and are a distillation of our firm’s cumulative decades of experience in professional services.

They are principles that we believe keep us on the straight and narrow—as long as we come back to these values, we feel confident in knowing we’ll make the best decisions for the company, and for each other.

At Outshine, we:

Provide value to each of our clients.
We make sure to understand what our clients value, and how to deliver it for them. We are committed to unparalleled customer service and supporting our customers within their roles.
Build trust—internally & externally.
With clients and with each other, we believe in transparency at all costs, even when it means having the difficult conversations first.
Take action.
We’re all doers. Each team member at Outshine takes ownership over their work and moves things forward as best as they can, despite their role or the task at hand.
Invest in ourselves.
We invest in our team just as they invest in us, because the truth is, talented people can work anywhere. From training and travel opportunities, to conference budgets, schedule flexibility, mental health days, and more, we strive to do what’s best for our people.

Medical & Dental Coverage
Outshine offers team members family or single enrolment in a group health and dental plan. We pay 80%, you pay 20%.

RRSP Matching
Through our group plan, we will happily match your RRSP contributions dollar-for-dollar up to 3% of your salary (to start).

Vacation & Holidays
Outshine team members enjoy a minimum of 3 weeks vacation, your birthday off, extra personal days to use at your discretion, and the standard stat and civic holidays every year.

Continuing Education Allowance
We encourage each team member to make commitments toward learning and professional development each year. Whether it’s a course, a conference, or books, we’ve got you covered.

A Beautiful Workspace
When it comes to the office, we don’t skimp. Outshine HQ is stocked with top-of-the-line equipment and furniture, offers stunning water and skyline views, and is conveniently located in Halifax’s vibrant north end.

Travel Abroad
It’s hard to beat the breadth and scale of our clients. Spanning San Francisco, New York, Paris, and beyond, occasional client visits or conference attendance come with the territory. Business is about relationships, after all!

Health & Wellness Budget
Our annual $350/year wellness budget supports our teammates in making healthy habits by funding something that supports their physical, mental, or spiritual wellbeing.

Paid Volunteer Time Off
We support team members driven to enhance the communities in which we live and work by offering up to 15 paid hours a year to volunteer with a Canadian registered charity.

Parental Leave Support
We’re proud to support parents of a newborn or newly adopted child. We offer primary caregivers 100% salary top-up for the first 12 weeks of leave; uninterrupted access to health and dental benefits (with continued cost sharing); an invitation to our #parents-at-outshine Slack community; and more.

Formal Mentorship Program
This program not only helps team members learn critical skills, but also develops important relationships within the company and builds professional experience in many facets of our business.

In-Person Events
Twice a year, we bring all team members to Nova Scotia to spend time together as a group collaborating, working, and strengthening relationships.

Participation & Community
Our team regularly gives us feedback to help shape a fulfilling work experience. New initiatives, ideas, and participation are always encouraged and welcomed.

FAQs

Will I hear back either way once I’ve applied?

Due to the high volume of applications we receive, only candidates selected to move forward will be contacted. We appreciate your interest and the time taken to apply.

How long and what is the interview process?

We take a thoughtful, multi-step approach to hiring. If you move beyond the initial screening, you can typically expect two more rounds—three interviews in total. While timelines can vary depending on the role's seniority and other factors, the general process looks like this:

Step 1: Screening Call

Nope. While many of us are based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, we hire remotely across Canada. Our office in Halifax’s North End is available for team members who want to collaborate in person, enjoy a beautiful workspace, or escape the occasional chaos of home life (we see you, pet parents and toddler wranglers!).
