For employers
Recruitment that starts with a proper brief and ends with a hire that sticks.
Whether you need a materials coordinator by month end or a VP of Supply Chain for a health system, you get one consultant who knows the market, a shortlist we have interviewed ourselves, and support through to onboarding.
Services
Four ways to work with us
Plus project and volume hiring when you need a whole team, and case studies showing how searches have played out.

- Reference checks, offer management, and counter-offer handling
Contract and interim
Project managers, analysts, engineers, and specialists on fixed-term contracts, from a few weeks to 18 months. Incorporated contractors or payrolled through us, with the classification, insurance, and provincial compliance handled.

- Weekly timesheets and a single invoice
- Contract-to-permanent conversion terms agreed up front

Retained search for director, VP, and C-level roles in supply chain, technology, and marketing. A dedicated partner, a mapped market, and a rigorous assessment process with weekly reporting.
- Confidential approaches to passive leaders
- Competency and culture assessment against your scorecard
- Onboarding plan and 6-month check-in

Included with every brief and available on its own. Live salary data from our placements, competitor hiring activity, and candidate sentiment for your sector and region, so your offer lands the first time.

Process
What happens after you submit a vacancy
Same-day acknowledgement
A consultant from the relevant practice replies within one business day to book a briefing call.
Briefing call
30 to 45 minutes on the role, team, systems, budget, and what a strong first year looks like. We agree terms, timeline, and how you want to be updated.
Search and interview
We approach our network and passive candidates, then run structured interviews. You get weekly progress notes without having to ask.
Shortlist to hire
Three to five interviewed candidates with our notes. We coordinate interviews, references, the offer, and resignation, and stay in touch through the guarantee period.
Fees and terms
Straightforward terms, agreed before any work starts
We do not publish a single rate card because roles differ, but we do promise that you will know the fee, the guarantee period, and the exclusivity terms (if any) in writing before we approach a single candidate.
| Service | Fee basis | Guarantee |
|---|---|---|
| Permanent, contingent | Percentage of first-year base salary, payable on start | Free replacement within the agreed period |
| Permanent, retained | Three staged payments; lower total percentage | Extended replacement period |
| Contract / interim | Hourly or daily rate, invoiced weekly or monthly | Replacement at no cost if a contractor leaves early |
| Executive search | Retained, fixed fee agreed at engagement | Extended guarantee and 6-month check-in |
Exact terms are set out in our Terms of Business, provided with every proposal.

Questions employers ask
Frequently asked questions
How quickly can you send a shortlist?
For a briefed permanent role, our standard is an interviewed shortlist within 10 business days. Contract roles with common skill sets are usually faster, often within 48 hours. Executive searches run to an agreed timeline, typically six to eight weeks to shortlist.
Do you work outside Ontario?
Yes. We place people across Canada and are licensed in Ontario under the Employment Standards Act recruiter regime. For provinces with their own licensing (such as British Columbia and Manitoba), we hold or arrange the required licence before recruiting there.
Can you handle a confidential replacement?
Yes. Confidential searches are common in our practices. We describe the opportunity without identifying your organization until a candidate has been screened and has agreed to proceed.
What if the hire does not work out?
Every permanent placement comes with a written replacement guarantee. If the person leaves or is let go within the guarantee period, we re-run the search at no additional fee.
Do you recruit bilingual (English/French) candidates?
Yes. A significant share of our Québec, Ottawa, and New Brunswick placements are bilingual. Tell us the level of French required for the role and we will assess it during our interviews.
