Staffing solutions
Choose the arrangement that fits.
Not sure which option you need? Tell us about the role — we’ll recommend the right fit.
Temporary Staffing
Cover absences, busy weeks and one-off projects without adding permanent headcount. Tell us the role, the shift and the start date — we recruit, screen and schedule the workers, and you scale up or down as your needs change.
Single shifts to multi-month assignments
Workers screened against your role requirements
Easy to extend, adjust or wind down
Permanent Recruitment
When you are hiring for the long term, we take on the sourcing, first-round screening and coordination so your team only meets candidates who fit the role, the schedule and your workplace.
Role profile built with your hiring manager
Candidates screened on experience and qualifications
Interview scheduling handled for you
Contract Staffing
Bring in people for a set scope or a fixed term — a system rollout, a facility move, a backlog clean-up. You get the skills you need for exactly as long as you need them.
Fixed-term and project-based placements
Clear start and end dates
Option to convert to permanent where suitable

Holiday volume, harvest, summer events, year-end inventory — plan ahead with us and have trained, scheduled people ready before the rush arrives.
Planning ahead of peak periods
Ramp-up and ramp-down on your timeline

Group hiring for new shifts and sites
Coordinated onboarding and start dates

Emergency & Short-Notice Coverage
Call-ins, vacations, sudden orders. Our office is open weekdays and our team is reachable around the clock for clients, so short-notice requests do not wait until Monday.
It depends on the role, location and number of people. General labour and warehouse roles can often be filled quickly; skilled and specialized positions take longer to recruit properly. Tell us your start date when you submit a request and we will give you a realistic timeline.
What types of staffing do you offer?
Temporary, permanent, contract and seasonal staffing, along with high-volume recruitment and short-notice coverage for call-ins and vacations.
How are candidates screened?
Candidates are screened against the requirements you give us — typically experience, relevant qualifications or certifications, availability and location. If your role needs additional checks, tell us and we will discuss what is appropriate and lawful for the position.
Do you work with businesses outside Ontario?
Yes. We support employers across Canada. Territories are served on request — contact us to discuss your location.
What does it cost?
Pricing depends on the type of staffing, the role and the duration. After we understand your requirements we will provide a clear quote before any workers are placed.
Can I request staff outside office hours?
Yes. Our office is open Monday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. ET, and our team is available to clients 24/7 for urgent staffing needs.
What if a worker is not the right fit?
Let us know right away. We will talk through what did not work and arrange a replacement where possible.
