ALLOW US TO INTRODUCE OURSELVES

Impact Recruitment is the fastest growing recruitment company in Canada. Our growth has been fueled by client demand, and it’s made possible by a combination of recruitment innovation, years of experience, and simply put, hard work.

Each of us has our own story, our own unique experiences, perspectives, and strengths. These things fuel the important conversations that bring about the insights, ideas, and innovations that keep us at the top of our game.

Our workplace is an open environment that encourages collaboration and teamwork, and we’ve built our team with amazing people who possess the drive and entrepreneurial spirit that makes big things happen.

If you’re ready to join a team that will coach you, challenge you, and will develop you both personally and professionally, you’ve come to the right place.

HOW WE’RE DIFFERENT

Okay, maybe you’ve worked in recruitment before. Or maybe you have friends who’ve told you horror stories about 100% commission jobs, arbitrary targets, and cold calls. You think you know what the industry is about because “every recruitment company is the same”. Wrong.

We are different and we’re on a mission to change the way people think about professional recruitment. Here’s how:

1. Our focus has always been (and always will be) on providing quality for our clients, not metrics for shareholders. Our motto is “the right candidate for the right job.” We would never ask you to treat candidates like transactions, and we don’t send random resumes, ever.

2. We can fill every position within an organization, which means we have a huge competitive advantage over other companies. Whatever the role, your clients know they can come to you and you’ll take care of the rest.

3. We believe the best idea in the room should win. It doesn’t matter if you’ve been here for a year, a month, or ten minutes. We value new ideas, open-mindedness, and imagination. If you’ve got something to say, let’s hear it.

4. Our compensation plans are exceptional. Perform well and you’ll be paid well, very well. We also believe in base salaries, as sometimes things don’t go your way. Don’t worry, you will never have to worry about paying the bills.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

You will spend 100% of your time sourcing and working with the best candidates in the legal sector, specifically Associates, In-House/Legal Counsel and Partners across various practice areas. You will be empowered to build your own brand by creating a strong candidate network with a long view of placement.

You will be a part of a team with years of experience. You will receive exceptional marketing and administrative support. Unlike other agencies, you will work towards results, not transactions. You won’t just be making cold calls and you won’t be bogged down with administrative paperwork. If you love recruitment and sales, that’s what you’ll do.

We’re a company of learn-it-all’s rather than know-it-alls and our culture is centered around embracing a growth mindset, a theme of inspiring excellence, and encouraging teams and leaders to bring their best each day.
