The Opportunity (Contract-to-Hire) This is an independent contract partnership for an initial 90-day trial phase. Because we operate with a lean infrastructure, we offer the best of both worlds: a guaranteed hourly safety net to cover your market-mapping and business development time, paired with an industry-leading commission split on every permanent placement fee you close. If you successfully secure client job mandates and drive direct-hire revenue during this 3-month run, this role is explicitly designed to transition into a permanent, foundational internal leadership position with the agency.

Candidate Delivery & Full-Cycle Recruitment (50%) Sourcing & Headhunting: Actively source passive talent using LinkedIn, local job boards, networking groups, and internal databases. Screening & Vetting: Conduct thorough phone and video interviews to assess candidate skills, salary expectations, motivation, and culture fit.

Offer Closing: Facilitate final offer negotiations, reference checks, and resignation counseling to ensure a 100% placement close rate.

What We Are Looking For 1–3+ years of agency recruitment experience in Ontario, with a verifiable track record in permanent/direct-hire placements. Proven Sales Grit: You are completely comfortable picking up the phone, bypassing gatekeepers, and hunting for new business. You do not rely on inbound leads.
