For Employers

It's a 3-step process: (1) Tell us your hiring needs and requirements, (2) we source and screen candidates from our pool, and (3) you interview and hire the best matches. We handle all the heavy lifting so you can focus on running your business.

For temporary positions, we can often provide qualified candidates within 24-48 hours. Permanent placements typically take 1-3 weeks depending on the role's complexity and specialization. We maintain a ready pool of pre-screened candidates for faster turnaround.

Every candidate goes through our multi-step screening: application review, phone interview, in-person or video interview, skills assessment (where applicable), reference checks, and background verification. We only present candidates we're confident about.

We stand behind our placements. For permanent hires, we offer a replacement guarantee period. If the candidate isn't the right fit within that timeframe, we'll find a replacement at no additional cost. For temporary staff, we can provide a replacement quickly.

Our pricing depends on the type of placement (temporary, permanent, contract), the role, and the volume of your hiring needs. We offer flexible subscription plans as well as per-placement pricing. Contact us for a customized quote.

We specialize in hospitality & retail, IT, healthcare, contact centres, skilled trades, office administration, manufacturing, transportation, education, and finance. Visit our Services page for a full breakdown.
