Registration, and whether it is good today
College registration for nurses, trade certification for the trades, checked as it stands this week rather than whenever the certificate was printed. Lapsed, and the CV does not travel any further.
The shift starts at seven. You are one short.
Licensed Ontario recruiting for healthcare and construction. Tell us the role and we go and find the person — registration, tickets and references checked before a name ever reaches you, and the ones who cannot produce them do not reach you at all.
Get the gap covered
Recruiter licence activeREC-0000014012
Every day the gap stays open, it costs more than filling it.
You are covering it yourself, paying the overtime, or turning the work away. None of those get cheaper by Friday, and the people picking up the slack are the ones you can least afford to lose.

This is the week you are trying to get to. Send us the gaps and the tickets they need, and we will work the list until the board is green.
Two sectors. Not everything for everybody.
These are the two where somebody’s paperwork is the hard part of the job, and they are the two we take. Ask us for a marketing manager and we will point you somewhere better.
Healthcare
Long-term care, retirement homes, home care, clinics and hospitals. Days, nights, weekends and the Christmas rota.
- PSWs and personal care attendants
- RNs, RPNs and nurse practitioners
- Allied health — physio, OT, respiratory, lab
- Medical office admin and coordinators
- Dietary, housekeeping and support staff
Construction
Commercial, residential and infrastructure. The site, the shop and the project office.
- Electrical, plumbing, HVAC and welding
- Carpenters, framers, concrete and finishing
- General and skilled labour
- Foremen, site supervisors and safety officers
- Estimators, coordinators and project managers
A recruiter licence. Not a temp agency licence.
We recruit: we find the person and place them with you, on your own payroll. We cannot supply you staff on ours, and if that is what you need we will tell you so and point you elsewhere. Licence REC-0000014012 is active and sits on the public Ontario register, so you can settle all of this before you ring us.
What is already checked before a name reaches you.
This is the part of the job you cannot see, so here it is in full, including who it takes out. It happens before the shortlist, because finding out afterwards is how a rota gets built twice.
Tickets, as copies rather than claims
WHMIS, Working at Heights, first aid, immunisation records where the setting requires them. We ask to see them. Somebody who cannot produce one is somebody you never hear about.
Police and vulnerable sector checks
Where the role calls for one, it is done before the shortlist reaches you — not after you have made an offer and built a rota around somebody.
References, and a proper interview
We speak to them about the work they have actually done, and to the people who watched them do it. If the reference does not confirm the work, the name comes off the list and you are never told about it.
From the phone call to their first day.
- 01
You tell us the role
The shift pattern, the site or the floor, the pay band, and the tickets they have to be holding on day one.
- 02
We go and find people for it
A search run for your role, around your address, including the good ones who are not looking yet. Those are usually the ones worth having.
- 03
We check them properly
Interview, registration, certificates and references, all of it before a single name reaches your desk. What that covers is listed above.
- 04
You get a short list
A handful of people with their papers and their availability attached. Not forty CVs to read on a Sunday night.
- 05
We stay until they start
Offer, start date, first shift, and a call afterwards to check they turned up and are still there a fortnight later.
Hiring?
Send the role and the date you need somebody standing there by. You get back what the search looks like, what it costs, and a timeline we are prepared to be held to.
Looking for work?
Tell us what you do, what you are holding, and how far you can travel. You are never charged a penny — not to register, not to be put forward, not out of your first pay. The employer pays us, and the law says it has to be that way.
What employers ask us first.
Are you a temp agency?
No. Ontario licenses recruiters and temporary help agencies separately, and we hold the recruiter licence. We find people and place them with you; they go on your payroll or your contract, not ours. If temps on somebody else's books are what you need, we will say so on the first call.
How fast can you fill it?
We will not put a number on it before we have seen the role, the pay band and the tickets it needs, and an agency that does is telling you what you want to hear. On the first call you get our honest read on how hard yours will be, and you get told the week it looks like slipping rather than the week after.
What does it cost?
Permanent placements are 15% of the first year's salary, quoted per role before we start anything — for a role under $70,000 we quote a flat $4,500 instead. Contract and shift work is an hourly rate we bill you, with a replacement guarantee behind it. For volume hiring we quote a fixed fee per hire instead.
Do you charge the candidate anything?
Never, for any role, at any point. The law does not permit it and we would not want it anyway — the employer is who we work for and who pays us.
We have tried agencies before and got sent anyone with a pulse.
Then you were sent a list, not a shortlist. The difference is upstream of us: an agency paid per placement is paid to send volume, and one paid per role is paid to be right. We quote per role before we start, which is why the checks above happen before a name reaches you rather than after you have built a rota around somebody.
What if the person does not work out?
Contract and shift placements carry a replacement guarantee. For permanent roles the replacement terms are agreed in writing before you sign anything, so there is nothing to discover later.
Can you do our office and sales roles too?
No, and you should want us to say so. We take healthcare and construction because those are the two where the paperwork is the hard part and where a wrong hire on a Saturday night is a real problem. Anything else, we will point you at somebody who does it properly.
Tell us the role. We will start today.
The shift pattern, the tickets it needs, and the date you need somebody by. You get back who we can go after, what it costs, and an honest read on how hard it will be — not a brochure.
