Our vision
Our vision
Although we are a diverse team from around the globe, we share the same vision to revolutionize how local businesses do their marketing.
Leadership
Our leadership team
After 15+ years in local marketing, founder and CEO Edward Yao saw that better technology was not reaching enough local businesses.
Edward Yao
CEO and Founder of OneLocal
Long-time entrepreneur, Edward, founded Canada’s first daily deal company and grew it to $50M GMV, with a team of 130+ people and 10k+ SMB clients. This was just the start. Edward saw a gap in the SMB market and began working on what OneLocal is today. His commitment is to make a big impact with SMBs and their growth strategies, and continue building an inclusive environment for our team.

Olivier Thibault
COO
Olivier has spent 10+ years scaling tech firms. For the past 3 years, Olivier has been instrumental in building an environment for our team to grow and flourish in their passion for supporting SMBs. With this, a culture of “owners” has been constructed to give all who join the work-life balance that fits their lifestyle.

Hiring
How we hire
We use a 3 step hiring process to get to know you and your skills. If you're looking for an opportunity that is equal parts challenging and rewarding, we'd love to hear from you.
Step 1: Tell us about you
Once you’ve submitted your application, our team will carefully review it and reach out for a preliminary screening call if we identify a potential fit. The purpose of this call is to gain a deeper understanding of your background and, of course, to get to know you better! Come prepared with your elevator pitch so we can make the most of our time.
Step 2: Show us your stuff
Throughout our hiring process, we incorporate role-specific assessments. Whether it’s a take-home assignment, a role-play scenario, a presentation, or a code assessment, our team is eager to understand your perspective, thought process, and critical thinking abilities.
Step 3: Meet the team
Before reaching a final decision, you’ll have the opportunity to meet some of our team members at different stages of the process. This typically involves 1-2 rounds where each team member can ask you specific questions about your experience, your take-home assignment, and how we can align to ensure that this is the best environment for your learning and growth. We also encourage you to come prepared with specific questions you may have for our team – we appreciate a curious mind!

I've applied, now what?
Great! You have applied and should have received an email from our talent team. Our skilled talent team will begin going through applications received on a regular basis. As soon as we have gone through applications, we will send next steps to those that we see a good fit. Although we wish we could get back to every candidate, we only get back to applicants that we move to next steps with.
I’ve had my screening call, how long until I hear back about next steps?
After every screening call, we like to share notes and highlights from our conversation with the hiring team. Once we have gotten the chance to debrief, we generally get back to candidates within 24-48 hours of the screening call or interview. If we need more time, we will be sure to let you know!
Where can I find the compensation structure for each position?
Unfortunately, we do not share this information on our website, but we are more than happy to discuss it during our screening call and throughout the interview process. We aim to bring this up during the initial screening call to make sure we are transparent from the start.
How long does the interview process usually take?
Our recruitment process can take anywhere from 2-4 weeks, but this can also depend on the role. For example, some of our more technical roles have technical tests and interviews which can extend the process timeline.
