We're looking for an experienced recruitment or staffing professional who knows how to build strong client relationships, deliver exceptional service and grow accounts.

This is an opportunity to take ownership of an established portfolio of clients within one of Canada's fastest-growing companies.

You'll have an experienced recruitment and consulting team behind you, multiple talent solutions to offer clients and the opportunity to work directly with our VP of Client Services and CEO.
