We offer two clear, flexible billing structures designed around your risk profile and hiring urgency:
Contingent Search: You pay a recruitment fee only after a candidate we present is successfully hired and starts with your organization. This performance-based model is well-suited for standard permanent openings and ongoing hiring initiatives.
Retained Search: A structured, dedicated search engagement with fees allocated across agreed project milestones. This model is recommended for confidential executive appointments, senior leadership roles, and highly technical positions.
Both engagement models include our comprehensive candidate vetting, active headhunting, and placement guarantee.
Timelines vary based on role seniority, technical specialization, and market availability. For most permanent professional positions, our team presents a curated shortlist of thoroughly vetted candidates within 10 to 15 business days. Specialized executive searches or highly scarce technical profiles typically require 3 to 5 weeks for exhaustive market mapping and discreet outreach. For urgent temporary and contract staffing needs, we can often mobilize qualified personnel within 24 to 48 hours.
Yes. While Talent Compass is headquartered in Alberta with deep roots in Edmonton, Red Deer, and Calgary, we actively recruit nationwide across all Canadian provinces and territories. Our team combines regional labor-market insights with an expansive national candidate network, enabling us to source top-tier local professionals as well as manage interprovincial relocations for specialized talent.
Every Talent Compass placement is backed by our replacement guarantee, subject to the terms and conditions of your agreement.
Exclusivity depends on the engagement model you select:
Contingent Searches: Exclusivity is not required, although many clients prefer an exclusive arrangement to prevent candidate duplication and maintain a consistent, professional presence in the talent market.
Retained Executive Searches: Exclusivity is standard practice, allowing our team to conduct confidential market research, targeted headhunting, and comprehensive candidate outreach while ensuring a coordinated search process.
We provide dedicated talent acquisition and workforce solutions across Canada’s essential commercial and industrial sectors:
Temporary staffing is the ideal choice when you require immediate workforce agility without increasing permanent overhead. Key scenarios include:
Fluctuating Workloads & Seasonal Peaks: Managing rapid spikes in manufacturing, trade, or distribution operations.
Project Milestones & Turnarounds: Bringing on specialized technical skills for finite capital projects, software implementations, or facility overhauls.
Absence Coverage: Covering scheduled parental leaves, extended medical absences, or unexpected vacancies.
Interim Backfilling: Maintaining team productivity and operational momentum while conducting a diligent, permanent executive search.
In temporary staffing arrangements, Talent Compass acts as the Employer of Record, taking full responsibility for payroll, WCB, statutory deductions, and employment administration so your managers can focus purely on the work.
