As a result of growing labour shortages within Canada due to an ageing population and an increase in activity in the resource sectors, companies need to become creative in their approach to completing projects and service obligations. It is now recognized by government and industry that this approach must include an international labour strategy, and understanding where realistic candidate pools exist is critical to successful staffing and recruitment programs. Workforce International can assist companies in understanding world markets, provide relevant and region-specific labour market information, and provide useable data to help build strong global recruitment programs for our clients.
What Makes Us Different
What Makes Us Different
We offer a full recruitment package
Not only can we attract critical employees from a global pool to satisfy labour demands, but alongside these efforts we can also improve the efficiency and productivity of existing employees and processes, provide smart retention strategies, and coordinate completely outsourced solutions to current human resource challenges.
We offer a fully integrated solution
Our recruitment model focuses on locating, attracting, mobilizing, and retaining critical employees from a global talent pool, and our qualified consultants will keep our clients informed throughout the process…every step of the way.
We compliment existing resources
It is not our goal to replace local hiring, but rather to work with our clients and their internal teams to maximize and combine effective recruitment solutions, acquiring and retaining the talent they need in order to make their business and projects successful.
We think differently
Most staffing firms focus on finding and recycling domestic and regional talent pools, and although local markets have many highly skilled individuals, the current demand for skilled workers far surpasses the talent pools currently available.
