How does Brookfield recruit for associates?

For their flagship infra or renewables, do they do on cycle recruiting? Specifically asking for Canada.

If they don’t do on cycle, do they just post something on LinkedIn and you apply like any regular job?

Based on the most helpful WSO content, there isn't specific information about Brookfield's recruitment process for associates in their flagship infrastructure or renewables sectors in Canada. However, here are some general insights on recruiting practices:

  1. On-Cycle Recruiting:

    • On-cycle recruiting is typically associated with private equity and investment banking roles, where the process is highly structured and often initiated by headhunters. The timing can be unpredictable, with firms announcing the start of the cycle at any moment.
  2. Off-Cycle Recruiting:

    • Off-cycle recruiting allows candidates to come in more prepared, network extensively, and identify opportunities that align with their interests and lifestyle. This process is less structured and can happen throughout the year based on the firm's needs.
  3. LinkedIn Job Postings:

    • Some firms, including major banks and financial institutions, do post job openings on LinkedIn. However, the effectiveness and seriousness of these postings can vary. For instance, there have been instances where applications through LinkedIn were not seriously considered, as noted in the WSO threads.

For a more detailed and specific answer regarding Brookfield's recruitment practices, it might be beneficial to directly reach out to current or former employees, or check Brookfield's official career page and LinkedIn for any job postings and recruitment updates.
