Musk\u00a0did it again<\/a>\u00a0at Tesla\u2019s annual shareholders\u2019 meeting last month, and the effort was confirmed through\u00a0a lobbying disclosure by the automaker with the Ontario government<\/a>\u00a0in Canada.<\/p>\n Yesterday, a local report stated that Tesla had visited Vale\u2019s nickel operations in Canada and was scouting sites for a factory in Ontario and Quebec<\/a>.<\/p>\n We also reported that Tesla visited a graphite mining and processing company<\/a> based in Quebec\u2019s battery valley.<\/p>\n Now we learn that Tesla is looking to hire recruiters in Quebec for a \u201chigh volume\u201d recruiting effort (via the job posting<\/a> \u2013 hat tip to Alex Oha<\/a>):<\/p>\n A great recruiter stands apart by excelling at talent identification, attraction, and assessment, and by developing deep partnerships with the business and within HR. Tesla is looking for a high volume<\/strong>, an extraordinary recruiter that stands out by doing all of the above combined with strong business acumen, a passion for their craft, and a genuine commitment to providing an unforgettable candidate experience.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Tesla has used similar language about \u201chigh volume\u201d recruiting for early positions at Gigafactory Berlin and Gigafactory Texas. Tesla generally employs between 5,000 and 10,000 at Gigafactories, and it requires significant recruiting efforts when staffing them.<\/p>\n It could be a sign that Tesla is planning to build a large operation, even its next Gigafactory, in the region.<\/p>\n The job is based in Montreal, but it is listed as \u201cRecruiter, Quebec,\u201d which generally means that the position covers the whole of Quebec.<\/p>\n I know I have been making the argument that the next Tesla factory could end up in Quebec for a while now, and I\u2019m obviously biased, but this is a very strong indicator here.<\/p>\n Similar positions have popped up in Austin and Berlin as Tesla was planning Gigafactories there.<\/p>\n I am starting to like Quebec\u2019s chances.<\/p>\n Where in Quebec though? Battery Valley (around Becancour-Trois-Rivieres) would make sense, but it depends if Tesla is planning a full-scale Gigafactory with vehicle production or just battery production.<\/p>\n If it\u2019s the former, I think something closer to Montreal would make more sense when it comes to recruiting a workforce of up to 10,000 people. Maybe a location within about one hour of Montreal, not unlike Gigafactory Berlin is to the city of Berlin. <\/p>\n I could see something around Granby or Drummondville, but those are just guesses.<\/p>\nQuebec likely?<\/h2>\n
