There are several ways to get started:

 

• 1. If you see a position that interests you on our website, you can apply directly through our website by registering or logging in.
• 1. If you see a position that interests you on an outside website, (example: monster, Workopolis, etc), you can simply follow the instructions for that service provider, or send a Microsoft Word version of your resume to the email address of the recruiter listed in the posting.
• 1. If you do not see any positions that are applicable to you, but are interested in working with Impact Recruitment for future opportunities, please visit our jobs page and keep checking back! We are adding new positions every day.

If you have sent your resume to us once, we will be aware of you. Even if you submitted your resume to a position that was not an ideal match, we will still consider you for all other opportunities that come up in the future. You may still apply to jobs as often as you like – it helps us know what you are interested in and will remind us of you regularly.

To update your records you can contact a recruiter directly or log into our Candidate Portal and upload a new resume to your profile.

The Certified Candidate® System is the most comprehensive Employer-Candidate matching system on the market today. The Certified Candidate® System is our evaluation tool – when we meet you, we take all aspects of your registration, interview and background check into consideration when we introduce you to our clients. This results in a more accurate match for your long-term career goals, and gives you an edge when compared to other candidates the Employer might be considering.

As a comprehensive evaluation tool, the Certified Candidate® System inspires confidence in our clients by ensuring that we only put forward the best candidates that are exactly right for the job. For you, this means that you will be one of only a handful of candidates that ever get presented to each opportunity, and the best employers will know that you have the skills and attributes they are looking for ahead of time. This results in a higher rate of successful placements, better chances for you as an individual to land your dream role, and a greater opportunity for both you and the employer to focus on fit and corporate culture instead of simply verifying your skill set and the details of your work history.

The first step to becoming a Certified Candidate® is submitting your resume using any of the methods listed above. From there, one of our Recruitment Specialists will review your eligibility. If you are found to be an eligible candidate, we will continue on with our comprehensive process and begin presenting you to suitable career opportunities with our top clients. We only represent Certified Candidates®.

Finding the ideal opportunity is a matter of being exposed to the right company, at the right time. Depending on your skills, your level, and what you are looking for in the ideal opportunity, this process could happen in one day, or it can take a year. No matter the case, when we meet great people we like to stay in touch so that we can help expose you to great opportunities as they come available.

Remember, we always look to the people we know as a first priority when we get a new opportunity. Even if you don’t see something that interests you today, we could receive a new job tomorrow that matches your needs perfectly.

There are too many advantages to working with Impact Recruitment to list them all, but here are some of the most important reasons you should consider speaking with us:

We have created a diligent follow-up program to ensure that you receive the support you need when entering a new role. We will periodically follow-up by telephone and we are always available to you as a resource throughout your career.

The majority of our Certified Candidates® are not actively seeking a new role, but want to have opportunities presented to them if they arise – making privacy one of our top priorities. The privacy of our candidates and clients is of the utmost importance to us and will be maintained fully from initial contact onwards.

Since we are the direct connection to the employer, your first impression with Impact Recruitment is just as important as the one you make with each client we may introduce you to. While we will do our best to give you an edge when applying to new positions, the best thing you can do is present yourself to us as you would any employer. It helps us to learn how to help you, and allows us to prepare you properly for any subsequent meetings. Additionally, it is important to be honest about what you are looking for in a career so we can ensure we find you an opportunity that will provide you with lasting satisfaction.

Your interview is your opportunity to showcase your skills and have an honest discussion about your career goals and preferences. During your interview, one of our Recruitment Specialists will work with you to learn the characteristics of your ideal opportunity, as well as assess and present any existing opportunities that may match what you are looking for. Our experts have compiled a list of tips on preparing for your interview, to view them – click here.

Due to the large volume of applications we receive only those candidates that have been shortlisted will be contacted for an initial interview. If you are actively involved in interviewing with one of our clients, you can simply contact the Recruitment Specialist that is responsible for the role.

As long as you have followed the application instructions, you can rest assured knowing your email has been received by one of our experts. When you apply directly to a position, you should receive an email confirming that we have received your resume. If you would like to double check that we have your information you can log in to the Candidate Portal and ensure your profile is up to date.

You will likely speak to at least two people throughout the process – typically one Recruitment Specialist who is managing the opportunity you are interviewing for, as well as one Placement Specialist that has a close relationship with that particular employer.

In the future, you may hear from a number of our team members. Each one has your interests at heart and values you as a part of our network.

Please bring your updated resume or CV, and a list of your career references consisting of your past direct supervisors. We require the names and current phone numbers for these references.

You will also need to bring photo identification, proof of Social Insurance Number, and copy of void cheque.

Please also make sure you dress appropriately for a professional interview with Impactemps.

NOTE: reference letters will not be accepted in lieu of reference contact information, and references from friends or colleagues are not considered to be professional references by Impactemps. If you are new to the workforce, please provide reference information from past teachers or professionals from your secondary or post secondary institution if available.

You will have a professional interview with a Recruitment Specialist to discuss your technical skills, your career goals, earnings expectations and to discuss your resume in detail.

We will provide answers to any questions you might have, and/or provide you with resources to learn more.

Once you complete the interview, we will match you up to available positions, if applicable, and we will coordinate your start with the hiring organization.

Should there be no position available after you complete your interview, don’t worry, you have not wasted your time! We will let you know as soon as a better possible job match arises, and we will stay in touch long-term.
