Who We Are
TalentEgg was founded by Lauren Friese. We're a small, passionate team and from our office in Toronto ("The Egg Carton"), we're working hard to provide students and new graduates with amazing career-planning resources and access to meaningful, career-launching opportunities, like internships, summer jobs, and entry level jobs in Canada. We're also working hard to provide organizations with an efficient and cost-effective way to reach Generation Y.

The Team
Lauren is the founder of TalentEgg. After graduating from Queen's University and receiving her Masters from the London School of Economics, Lauren entered the workforce. She landed her first ‘real’ job shortly after, but thought there had to be a better way to transition from school to work. The idea was born and TalentEgg hatched!
As demonstrated through TalentEgg’s accomplishments, Lauren is passionate about Gen Y recruitment and online media.
Known for over-using egg puns in everyday conversation, Lauren lives, eats, and breathes all things TalentEgg. (Common office myth suggests she may even sleep in the Egg Carton from time to time.)
