Recruitment & staffing

Client companies and candidates for your recruitment agency.

Job orders to win, candidates to source: your agency needs both. We build an acquisition system that brings in qualified client companies and feeds your candidate pools, with exclusive leads and a controlled cost per placement, across Toronto and the rest of Canada.

What we see

Two markets to feed: clients and candidates.

A recruitment or staffing agency lives off a double flow: companies that entrust job orders, and candidates to present. If either dries up, the business stalls. Word of mouth and ever-pricier job boards are not enough to manage that double flow.

  • Not enough client job orders

    Business development rests on the founders' network and cold outreach. Without an acquisition channel, hard to build a regular flow of companies entrusting searches.

  • Candidates hard to source in a tight market

    On in-demand profiles (skilled trades, tech, healthcare), good candidates are rare and already courted. Indeed and LinkedIn sponsorship costs climb while delivering fewer qualified applicants.

  • A positioning lost in the crowd

    Most agencies look alike. Without a clear message about your specialty (sector, roles, seniority), you get compared on fees, and on fees there is always someone cheaper.

Problem, then solution

What you deal with, and what we put in place.

For each obstacle, a concrete answer, on both markets: client companies and candidates.

  • What you are living

    "We lack client job orders."

    Development depends on the network, with no lever to generate clients.

    What we put in place

    Targeted B2B campaigns

    Google and LinkedIn aimed at HR decision-makers and executives in your specialty, with messages by sector and role type. We generate exclusive job-order inquiries under your brand.

    • Google Ads
    • LinkedIn
    • B2B
  • What you are living

    "We can't source enough candidates."

    In-demand profiles are rare and expensive to reach.

    What we put in place

    Candidate sourcing campaigns

    Meta and Google campaigns that feed your pools on in-demand roles, with ads and application pages built to make the right profiles apply, including passive candidates the job boards never reach.

    • Meta Ads
    • Sourcing
    • Talent pools
  • What you are living

    "We get compared on fees."

    Without clear positioning, you are one agency among many.

    What we put in place

    A message per specialty

    We put your sector expertise forward (what you place best) to attract the clients looking for exactly that profile of agency. You step out of the fee war.

    • Specialty
    • Value
  • What you are living

    "We don't know what it brings back."

    Without measurement, no way to know which lead becomes a signed mandate.

    What we put in place

    Tracking on both markets

    Job-order inquiries and applications tracked separately, cost per lead and per placement. You manage both markets on results and shift budget between them deliberately.

A recruitment agency runs on two engines: clients and candidates. When only one turns, the agency stalls. Our job is to feed both continuously, on the right roles and the right territory.

FAQ

The questions agencies ask us.

  • Do you work the client side or the candidate side?

    Both, and that is the point. B2B campaigns generate client job orders (Google, LinkedIn), sourcing campaigns feed your candidate pools (Meta, Google), and the budget is arbitrated between the two according to your priorities.

  • How do you find client companies?

    Google Ads to capture decision-makers already searching for an agency, and LinkedIn to precisely target HR functions and executives in your specialty. The message is built around your sector expertise.

  • Can you source candidates for in-demand roles?

    Yes. Meta and Google campaigns targeted by role and by region reach candidates where they actually spend time, including passive ones. It complements your job boards, usually at a lower cost per qualified application.

  • Does this work for temporary staffing too?

    Yes. For staffing agencies we run the same double flow at higher volume: worker recruitment by role and by region on one side, client accounts on the other. Where provincial licensing applies to temp agencies, as in Ontario, we put your licence forward as a trust signal.

  • What budget should we plan for?

    We calibrate the media budget together after the audit, split between clients and candidates according to your priorities, starting from a controlled test amount. No long lock-in.
