Bilingual Recruitment in Toronto and Across Canada

Usually within two to four business days of your brief, depending on what the role requires and who is available at the time. Speed matters to us, but so does quality. The candidates you see have already been screened for the industry experience and skills the position requires, including French and English proficiency assessments as the role requires, along with any further screening agreed with you. You are not spending interview time on people who have not been checked.

Our first resource is our own candidate database, built over nearly 20 years in business and expanded a few years ago when we acquired another recruitment company and its candidate database. We then draw on our network and the pipeline of bilingual professionals we have built over that time. From there we conduct direct headhunting to find professionals whose industry background, skills and experience closely match your requirements, including people who are not actively applying. We also support each search by advertising on our website, LinkedIn, Indeed and other channels.

Permanent recruitment is contingency-based, so there are no upfront recruitment fees. A fee is payable only if you hire a candidate we introduced, and we issue the invoice once that person starts. You can meet the candidates and make your decision before any fee becomes payable.

Our fee for a bilingual search is typically 20% of the successful candidate's annual salary. We offer flexibility based on hiring volume, multiple positions or a long-term partnership, and we confirm the agreed fee in writing before the search begins, so there are no surprises later.

Language assessment is built into every bilingual search. A qualified and experienced assessor conducts an oral French assessment, using behavioural interview questions in French to evaluate how effectively the candidate communicates in a professional setting. Candidates must meet our internal proficiency standards on that verbal French assessment to be presented for a bilingual role. Written proficiency is tested as well, with materials reviewed and approved by qualified and experienced individuals, and English proficiency is assessed as the role requires.

Yes, both. For permanent placements, we find candidates who join your organization directly. For temporary assignments, we employ the candidate and handle all payroll administration, and we make sure they are supported throughout the assignment. We bill you based on the agreed terms. Temporary staffing is a practical option for busy periods, leaves and projects.

Yes. Permanent placements come with a 90-day replacement guarantee. If a placement does not work out within that period, we provide a replacement at no additional recruitment fee, subject to the terms of your recruitment agreement. Replacement searches are prioritized, and because the brief and the shortlist work already exist they often move quickly. We can also discuss flexibility in the guarantee period based on your needs, with any agreed terms confirmed in writing.

Bilingual recruitment is our core specialty, and we recruit across a wide range of positions: junior and warehouse roles, administration, customer service, experienced professionals, management and senior leadership, including vice-president positions. Over nearly 20 years we have supported employers across diverse industries, including pharmaceuticals, medical products and services, healthcare, financial services and insurance, among others. Each search is tailored to your industry, workplace and the specific requirements of the role.

Yes. We conduct reference checks using targeted behavioural questions to understand past performance and fit. We can arrange criminal record checks and, where the role requires it, credit checks, always with the candidate's consent. Alongside the language assessment, we provide computer proficiency and other job-specific testing on request. Screening is tailored to your requirements and the role's responsibilities, so you have the information you need to make a confident, informed hiring decision.

Bilingual recruitment is our core specialty, and every candidate we present for a bilingual role has passed written tests and a verbal French assessment that meets our internal proficiency standards before you interview them. We start by understanding your needs, culture and expectations, then search beyond the applicant pool through our own database and direct headhunting. Throughout the search you work with a recruiter who keeps you informed, keeps candidate coordination and presentations organized, and gives candidates the same attentive care, so they arrive prepared and engaged. Our commitment to employers and candidates is reflected in our Google rating of 4.8 out of 5.
