Oh Canada? Tesla Hiring Recruiters in Quebec: Gigafactory Canada Announcement Coming Closer?
Tesla Inc TSLA may have its sights set on Canada as the location of its next Gigafactory. New reports of recruiters hiring around the country may hint that an announcement could be made soon.
What happened: Speaking at a shareholder event in August, Tesla CEO Elon Musk hinted that the Gigafactory's next location could be announced by the end of the year. Musk said Tesla could have 10 to 12 gigafactories around the world to help ramp up production of its electric vehicles.
Talking about the potential new Gigafactory, the crowd saw fans shouting at Canada as the location for the next factory.
"I'm half Canadian. Maybe I should," Musk said.
A lobby registration by Tesla in Canada also hinted that the company may explore a potential factory in the country.
Tesla has posted a job opening for a high-volume recruiter in Quebec, Canada, according to a report by Teslarati. A recruiter's job posting in Montreal, Quebec, is similar to former recruiter wording used at Gigafactory locations, the report notes. High-volume recruiters have been hired in areas like Austin, Texas and Grunheide, Brandenburg, near other Tesla gigafactories.
“A great recruiter sets themselves apart by excelling in identifying, attracting and evaluating talent, and developing strong partnerships with the business and within HR. Tesla is looking for an extraordinary, high-volume recruiter who sets themselves apart by doing all of the above, combined with business acumen, a passion for their craft, and a genuine commitment to delivering an unforgettable candidate experience,” says the job offer.
An Electrek report says Tesla has visited several sites in Canada for a potential factory.
No confirmation has been made by Tesla that Canada will host the new Gigafactory. New job postings could suggest the company will make Canada home to a new Gigafactory or other future Tesla endeavors. Tesla has existing facilities in Canada through ownership of Hibar Tesla Toronto Automation and funding for lithium battery research in the country.

Why it matters: Tesla has expanded production capabilities outside of the United States, with Gigafactory sites in Shanghai and Berlin. The new international factories have helped the company expand production and deliveries to regions like Europe and Asia.
A new Gigafactory location could be important in helping Tesla meet its long-term production and delivery goals.
Tesla's third-quarter financial results will likely be released in October, and the company is hosting its annual AI Day later this month. It is unclear how and when the company will announce the location of its Gigafactory location.
Recent visits to Canada and official lobbying efforts as well as the recent job offer could make Canada the clear favorite.
