Founded with the mission to simplify payments for Main Street merchants, Helcim differentiates itself by being fully upfront about fees (no hidden costs, contracts, or cancellation fees), offering tools like point-of-sale terminals, online invoicing, recurring payments, virtual terminals, and integrations for developers.

How Helcim Supports 2SLGBTQIA+ Communities in Canada
Helcim is a proud member of the Alberta 2SLGBTQI+ Chamber of Commerce, showing their commitment to uplifting queer and trans entrepreneurs. Through this partnership, they help build a more inclusive business environment by supporting queer-owned businesses, increasing visibility, and opening doors to networking, mentorship, and supplier diversity. Beyond their membership, Helcim actively participates in local initiatives, like those in Calgary that celebrate and elevate small businesses, including queer-owned and ally organizations, by providing the tools they need to grow and by showing up as a trusted partner in the community.

More Ways Helcim Makes a Difference for Queer Communities
Helcim is more than just a payments company, they’re a proud ally to 2SLGBTQIA+ communities across Canada. From marching in the Calgary Pride Parade to partnering with the Alberta LGBTQ Chamber of Commerce as a Chamber Champion, Helcim actively supports queer entrepreneurs and helps create spaces where diverse businesses can thrive. Their commitment goes beyond business: by showing up in community initiatives, championing visibility, and fostering belonging within their own team, Helcim continues to stand alongside queer communities and celebrate the innovation, resilience, and impact they bring to Canada’s business landscape.

We have all seen how AI and automation are reshaping how hiring happens — from resume screening to interview selection. For job seekers, that means previous approaches need to be updated to meet current conditions. Today, successful applications must be intentional, human-centered, and optimized for AI-driven systems.
In this interactive session, leaders from rhum.hr will demystify how artificial intelligence is used in the hiring process and share practical strategies to help your resume stand out. You’ll learn:

✨ How Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) scan resumes and what recruiters actually see.
✨ The role of keywords, formatting, and clarity in getting your resume past the digital gatekeepers.
✨ How to highlight your unique strengths without losing authenticity.
✨ Ways to align your personal story and values with today’s evolving hiring processes.
You’ll leave with clear, actionable tools for writing resumes and applications that get noticed — and that feel true to who you are. The session will close with a Q&A, giving you the opportunity to ask your own questions and gain real-world insights for your next job search.
