Our placements also cover project engineers, design engineers, quality assurance engineers, systems engineers and technical managers. Whether your need is field based, design/analysis focused or more leadership/project management oriented, we can match you with professionals whose backgrounds are tailored to your specific technical requirements.
We recognize that engineering projects often move at a rapid pace and lost time is lost money. Our process is set up so that your connection to qualified candidates happens in days, not months. While some timelines may vary according to role complexity and technical requirements, our deep network and 24/7 access ensures a rapid response for urgent positions.
You can count on us to move quickly - without sacrificing candidate quality - so your projects aren't held up.
We utilize a detailed process that starts by understanding your exact needs - from technical specs and software skills to project scope and team structure. Our proprietary 5-point screening system assesses candidates for technical knowledge, experience, certifications, problem-solving skills and a match for your project requirements.
We work directly with you, one-on-one, as a true partner, learning your culture and your technical standards so that every candidate we put forward is a real match.
All candidates undergo our quality assurance process before you ever see their resume. This includes checks on education, engineering licence (including P.Eng as applicable), technical certifications and past employment history.
Our QA practices mean you meet only pre-screened, qualified talent and don't waste your time with screening.
Yes, we support permanent as well as contract placements according to your needs. Whether you're hiring for core team roles on a permanent basis or filling a project gap with temporary talent, we can assist.
We also help with 'contract-to-permanent' hires so you have the chance to try out a candidate on the job before making a longer-term commitment. Our process is flexible to your preferred hiring solution and business objectives.
We are a 100% Canadian-owned and operated staffing firm with unique insight into the Canadian engineering market, including provincial labour regulations, regional salary trends, and cross-country industry insights. Our focus is technical and industrial roles, so generalist agencies won't have the same industry knowledge.
You work directly with one recruiter who learns your culture and long-term needs, resulting in better hires over time. Our 24/7 access and transparent communication process guarantee you're never left wondering about status.
We take the time to understand your project in detail before we start searching for candidates. This includes conversations around specific software skills (AutoCAD, MATLAB, SolidWorks, etc.), industry regulations, regulatory issues and project challenges.
Our screening includes technical tests and detailed conversations about previous projects where required skills were demonstrated. We put forward only candidates whose skills closely match your needs - not 'close enough' guesses.
Our engineering staffing work spans civil/construction/infrastructure, manufacturing, energy/utilities, telecommunications, software/technology, automation/controls, environmental, aerospace, transportation and more. We work on jobs for traditional and new industries, from established civil engineering consultancies to fast-growing tech start-ups building new solutions.
This broad base gives us appreciation for how different engineering skills are required in every sector.
We have a deep pool of engineering candidates in Toronto and Greater Toronto Area, built through years of relationships with candidates at all career levels. Our database is comprised of both active job seekers as well as passive candidates who are open to the right new opportunity.
We constantly grow the network with industry contacts, university campus links, and ongoing recruiting efforts, giving you access to a large talent base. A deep pool also means fast response for urgent positions.
Yes, background screening is part of our service. We conduct reference calls to verify employers, employment dates, job responsibilities and technical skills. We check education, licences and certifications.
For roles requiring higher security clearance or confidential company needs, we arrange for further criminal and/or credit background checks to meet your criteria. It's all part of our focus on sending you only qualified, trusted candidates.
Communication is central to our approach. From the moment you initiate your search with us, you'll receive frequent updates on progress, candidate shortlist activity and interview arrangements.
We provide real-time feedback on candidate availability, client feedback following interviews, and any job spec updates. If there are challenges or delays, we don't leave you guessing - we will address them proactively. Our transparent communication process means status is never unclear.
Our pricing is clear and simple to understand. Specifics depend on whether your hiring is permanent, contract or contract-to-hire, as well as the position level (seniority, specialization, etc.). We'll share details during your initial discussion with us so you know what to expect.
We are happy to walk you through our pricing structure and answer questions about value. Our efficiencies, risk mitigation and quality candidate assurance are all part of the ROI on your staffing spend.
We are committed to the quality of our relationships. Our quality screening and matching process helps ensure that mismatches rarely occur, but we recognize that circumstances happen. In case of failed placements within an agreed upon time period, we'll speak with you to learn what went wrong and move quickly to secure replacement candidates for you at no added search fee.
Your long-term satisfaction - not a single placement - is our goal. We see it as a partnership where our stake in the outcome is just as high as yours.
Yes. From multi-phase infrastructure projects to new plant/facility build-outs and project expansions, we scale our search as required. Our candidate pool, team approach and streamlined process mean we can recruit for multiple positions at the same time without sacrificing quality.
We'll work with you on your hiring timetable, identify urgent/step-phase needs and can stagger starts for sequential onboarding. Our 24/7 access ensures last minute bulk hiring gaps can also be addressed.
Remaining current on industry trends is what enables us to clearly understand which skills you are really seeking for a given role or project. Through our connections in the engineering community, we track new technologies, technical designations and certifications across engineering fields.
We also stay on the pulse with our clients about the tools, methodologies and engineering challenges you face. These efforts ensure we are able to speak your language and determine whether candidates possess relevant, leading edge technical skills.
Yes, we support client companies at all sizes and stages. Whether you're a brand new start-up hiring your first project engineer or a large organization with several project-based hiring needs, our process is flexible.
Smaller organizations benefit from our 1:1 consultative approach and ability to source appropriately experienced candidates for their structure. Larger companies appreciate our team support for high-volume needs and our consistency in meeting their standards. Regardless of size, your success is still our success.
Yes, our placements include candidates with their P.Eng designation registered with Professional Engineers Ontario (PEO). We know the requirements and are able to identify and recruit only candidates who already hold or are completing the licence.
As part of our screening, we confirm licence status and verify that only those meeting the certification requirements interview with you. We can also arrange placements with Engineers-in-Training (EIT) if you mentor those working toward P.Eng status.
Confidentiality is essential to our recruiting relationships. For employers conducting confidential searches, we present the opportunity to candidates without disclosing company name at initial application stage. We protect company information, business plans and other confidential details.
For candidates, we never submit a resume unless authorized and keep employment searches strictly confidential from their current employers. All personal data is treated with care and sensitivity, forming the foundation of trusted client/candidate relationships.
To launch your search, we need a job description covering responsibilities and technical requirements, must-have skills versus nice-to-have skills, required software or technology skills, required certifications or licences, years of experience, pay (salary/rate), location, work setting, project duration (if contract role), team reporting structure and other relevant details.
We'll ask for additional information about your company, the project and the type of individual or personality who will excel in the role. The more information you provide, the better the match.
Our service shines in 'difficult-to-fill' searches. When your search calls for more unique requirements (software, industry/regulatory experience, specialized skills), our tailored process and deep network are especially valuable.
We don't walk away from challenging searches. Instead, we broaden our sourcing activities, target passive candidates, and work through our engineering community relationships to get you the right person for the job. Our 24/7 access and urgency help us deliver on the toughest assignments.
Our primary focus is candidates who are already in or who are relocating to the Toronto and Greater Toronto Area. For clients considering an international candidate solution, timelines and specifics can be discussed. In most cases, urgent positions are best filled with local talent.
For highly-specialized engineering roles where skill shortages are a limiting factor for you, we can support recruiting international talent willing to move to Canada, but will discuss associated deadlines and processes so you can decide if that plan is realistic for your business needs.
Technical fit is just one part of making a successful placement - culture and team fit matter just as much. Our 1:1 relationship and consultation with you as the employer includes assessing your company, management style, team dynamics and workplace environment from the very first meeting.
In our screening/interviewing of candidates, we evaluate non-technical fit for communication skills, personality, adaptability, workstyle and values. We inquire what work styles, environments or professions they work best with/within to ensure a good match. This extra time ensures no misfits present at final offer stage.
Our process is set up for both speed and results. For most engineering roles, you should expect to see several qualified candidate resumes within days of our kick-off meeting. Interviews are scheduled according to availability, and offers can sometimes be finalized within 1-2 weeks of initiating the search.
The typical 2-week resignation notice of the chosen candidate is usually the last moving piece of the hiring process. In many cases, this means our clients fill the position within 3-4 weeks start to finish, sometimes sooner if hiring is urgent and sometimes longer if the search involves rare requirements.
We keep candidates fully briefed and engaged throughout the hiring and placement process. This includes informing them about the role, helping them prepare for the interview with client/candidate feedback, assisting with offer negotiation and responding to their questions.
Once placed, we continue our 1:1 check-ins to ensure they're happy and to address any concerns for both client and candidate in the opening weeks. We recognize that candidates are our long-term relationships and not transactions, so our work doesn't end post-placement.
Our quality assurance practices are aimed at preventing failed placements by rigorous screening and matching. However, we appreciate that despite everyone's good intentions, sometimes it still happens. We offer a guarantee period for permanent placements during which we provide a replacement at no extra fee for the search if a placed candidate decides to leave or is let go.
On the contract placement front, we can replace a contractor just as quickly. Terms are specified in our agreement and can be discussed openly during your first conversation with us.
We're glad to share references from current and past Toronto-area companies who have used us for engineering staffing services. These employer HR, hiring managers and project managers will talk directly with you about their Toronto engineering staffing and recruiting experiences with us.
Where possible, we will arrange contact with specific industry or hiring challenge references tailored to you. Client satisfaction and long-term relationships are at the heart of our service, and we are proud to showcase clients who've partnered with us for years.
Communication is everything when it comes to a transparent process. We lay out the preferred communication channel and timeframe with both client and candidate at the beginning of the process. We confirm all details (job order, interview times, offer terms) by email to avoid disagreements over the facts.
We guarantee timely follow up (date specified, not generic) when more time is needed for reply. Unforeseen delays are communicated immediately, not left for later. Our 24/7 access means questions get answered faster and single point of client contact means no next steps lost in messaging.
Our recruiting and staffing services cover Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area including Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, Markham, Richmond Hill, Oakville, Burlington, Milton, Pickering, Ajax, Whitby and Oshawa.
Our market focus is Canadian, so if you have an opening in another Ontario market or out of province, we can discuss if it makes sense for us to assist there. We are conscious of differences in talent pool size, travel/location and salary expectations across the different GTA regions so you're linked only with candidates who are willing to make the commute.
We have worked with dozens of Toronto-area firms required to fill urgent openings or skill shortages, from infrastructure companies needing civil engineers to start work at the beginning of construction season, to manufacturers seeking automation engineers to complete an installation, to technology/software providers ramping their software engineering team at short notice.
Our access to actively-seeking (and passive) candidates and our 24/7 response provides clients with the support needed to avoid costly project delays. We can share more examples from your sector and will provide details on our project history.
We can scale our relationship according to your requirements. If you need a single engineer or team leader, we're happy to help and you can expect our full service attention. If you've got a larger staffing project (5/10/20 roles), we're still the right choice, and will coordinate our actions accordingly, outlining priorities with you and detailing regular progress updates.
There is no minimum or maximum and every project is resourced as required. We'll be upfront with you about resource availability and timelines so that no targets are missed for your volume hiring needs.
