Choosing a Recruitment Agency in Canada

If you are seeking a future career and residency in Canada, one of the first steps you would take is get in touch with a recruiting agency based in Canada. A licensed recruiting agency should be able to guide you regarding in demand professions as well as the steps you need to take to secure a job in Canada before you land here. Here are 5 important points to consider before choosing a recruitment agency to represent you in Canada.

  • Are they licensed as a recruiting agency

    Every province has its own governing body that regulates the licensing of recruiting agencies in the province. Agencies need two separate licenses, one for recruitment and placement of local resident candidates and a separate license for recruitment and placement of foreign workers. Make sure the agency you are dealing with has the appropriate license to operate in their province.

  • Get details on their process

    Once you have identified a few potential recruitment agencies in Canada, ask questions to get a clear understanding of their processes. Get a complete understanding of what is involved at every step of the registration and placement process. They should also be able to provide you with a realistic time frame of the entire process.

  • Compare agencies and their services

    It is best to contact several agencies to get an idea of their working style as well as the number of services they offer. Also enquire about the pay structure of their various services apart from placement. The more foreign worker recruitment agencies you compare, the more in will help you choose the agency that best meets your needs.

  • Lookout for the warning signs

    The minute a recruitment agency in Canada asks you for a placement fee, they are breaking the law as they are not supposed to charge you any fees to find you a suitable job. Another warning sign is when they start making grand promises which seem very unrealistic. For example, if they say they can guarantee you a job that makes 6 figures when your current or last job pays you much less. Take notes of everything they say to you and check if they are doing what they have promised to do, if not and if they make excuses for not doing what they promised, you know that something is wrong and it is best to walk away.

  • Get a referral from family and friends

    A good way to identify a reputed recruitment agency is to ask if anyone in your circle of family and friends has already used one to be placed in Canada. Ask them questions regarding their experience with the agency and if they would recommend that you can use their services.

Canada is one of the best places to live and work in the world and if you wish to move here and settle down is a good career, a reputed foreign worker recruitment agency is a good first step to explore your options in Canada.
