ABOUT FRANCESCA E.

If you\'re an immigrant or early-career professional trying to figure out how careers actually work in Canada, you\'re in the right place. Hi, I’m Francesca — Talent Acquisition Advisor, content creator, and cofounder of Beforeborders. 2019: I was an international student trying to navigate life in a new country, taking on roles that didn’t fully reflect my potential.Today: I work in recruitment and help others build strategic careers in Canada. A lot happened in between. Like many newcomers, I had no clear roadmap. I had to figure things out on my own; understanding how the system works, what actually matters, and how to position myself in a competitive market. Because the truth is: getting a job in Canada isn’t just about applying. It’s about understanding the unwritten rules. How to position yourself. How to build visibility. How to move with strategy, not just urgency. Today, I’ve seen both sides of the process: what candidates think matters… and what actually gets them hired. And that gap? That’s where I come in. I help job seekers: Navigate the Canadian job market with clarity Build profiles that attract opportunities — not just applications Turn survival jobs into strategic career moves On the business side, I partner with companies to: Access diverse, high-potential talent Strengthen employer branding and talent positioning Bridge the gap between hiring needs and qualified candidates About Before Borders Through Before Borders, I’m building a hub that connects talent to opportunities, insights, and the information they actually need to navigate the job market — from jobs to mentorship, strategy, and market trends. The goal is simple: make career growth more accessible, more strategic, and less confusing. Because a job is not the final goal. It’s the tool that builds your life. Follow for insights on careers, hiring, and building a life through work — strategically.
