MONTREAL, QC / ACCESSWIRE / December 10, 2024 / Avalon Partners Inc., a leading M&A advisory and business brokerage firm, is pleased to announce the successful sale of Jobwings.com Careers Inc, doing business as Jobs.ca, Canada's pioneering online recruiting firm, to British-Columbia-based tech entrepreneurs Adi Gullia and Greig Perantinos.
Founded in 2001 and headquartered in the province of Quebec, Jobs.ca is a leader in Canada's online recruitment industry. With a portfolio of 21 industry-specific job boards, the award-winning company generates over 270,000 monthly visits from job seekers and serves 900 employers across Canada. The acquisition marks a pivotal moment for the company, as it looks toward future growth under new ownership.
The sale represents a major achievement for founder Manuel Francisci, who led Jobs.ca for over two decades. "Having been a part of the company for so many years, it holds a special place in my heart, and I am truly excited to see what the future holds with Greig and Adi at the helm. They will undoubtedly bring fresh perspectives and new successes to the business," said Manuel Francisci.
"Over 24 years, Manuel's built something to be proud of. Jobs.ca is a brand that we believe will be around forever. We have exciting plans for the company as the world transitions to AI," said Adi Gullia, new co-owner of Jobs.ca.
Despite strong interest from more than 140 buyers globally, Avalon Partners successfully maintained the Canadian ownership of Jobs.ca, ensuring the company remains dedicated to serving Canadian employers and job seekers. This acquisition provides continuity and strengthens Jobs.ca's role in the Canadian job market while preparing for future advancements, particularly in AI-driven recruiting.
As the exclusive intermediary for the transaction, Avalon Partners facilitated the entire acquisition process.
