Why you’ll love working with us

• We’re consultative, sharing what we learn through our candidates, along with the latest trends in your industry. ‍
• We adapt to your hiring needs. Whether you’re hiring a permanent employee or contract/temporary resources, we can help. We also support you with converting contract resources to permanent roles and provide payroll services as needed.‍
• We’re communicative, keeping you informed as our search progresses and advising you on how best to position your role to attract top candidates.‍
• We put our whole team behind you... and our extensive network of 1,000,000+ candidates across all skills, too. In fact, we find many of our placements through referrals because, as they say, good people know good people.‍
• We work onshore, in Canada to locate talent ready to start delivering now.‍
• We go beyond the resumé, looking for unique attributes in each candidate, presenting only our top choices and explaining in detail why we selected each one.‍
• We validate candidates before you hire. See below.‍
• We balance speed with quality. See below.

We validate our candidates

Since many of today’s candidates use ChatGPT and other AI applications to write their resumés and cover letters, it can be hard to tell if someone’s the real deal. Rest assured, we take the time to validate skills and experience and verify that each candidate is what they claim to be.

• We interview every candidate face to face (either in person or over video).
• We go beyond the standard interview. We assess on-the-spot thinking by asking unique questions that we co-develop with you—things not covered in the job ad.
• We verify all credentials, including designations, education and more.
• We provide testing and screening (on request), including in-depth technical and competency-based screening assessments. 
• We conduct a range of checks (when appropriate), using a third party to do background, criminal and credit checks.
• We check references prior to all employment offers.

We balance speed with quality

Sometimes our clients need to move quickly, and we’ll meet them where they are.

However, while we work faster than others in our industry, we never sacrifice quality for speed; we always conduct a full search and validate each candidate before submitting our shortlist. This is how we’ve become one of the best staffing agencies for finance and accounting.

In a rush? These factors impact the speed of our search:

• The job title and technologies in use
• Total compensation, including salary, vacation, benefits
• Work model (remote/hybrid/onsite)
• Years of experience required in specific sectors/industries

We strive to meet the following timelines:

• ‍5–7 business days from initial search to first interview (permanent hires)

Note: For unique roles that require extensive searching and tapping our referral network, the timeline may be longer. We communicate with you at every step and share the results of our search as we progress.

• ‍3–5 business days from initial search to first interview (temporary hires)
