Only candidates worth your time.
Tell us the role. We source, screen, and shortlist. You interview people who are already qualified, available, and interested.
Who we serve
Manufacturing / Logistics & Distribution / Construction / Financial Services / Healthcare Support / Retail & Hospitality / Technology & IT / Professional Services
Services
Staffing built around how you actually hire.
Permanent placement
Full-cycle recruitment for roles you need filled once, and filled right.
Temporary & contract staffing
Fast coverage for seasonal demand, project work, and leave backfill.
Executive search
Confidential searches for leadership, management and C-suite roles, including CEO, CFO, COO and VP-level hires.
Workforce planning & HR consulting
Hiring roadmaps and HR guidance for teams planning ahead, not just filling seats.
How we charge
Two models, depending on how you hire. Exact rates depend on the role and volume, and we confirm them in writing before work starts.
Contingency, on the start date
You pay nothing until you hire. The fee is a percentage of the first-year salary, invoiced on the start date, and covered by our 90-day replacement guarantee.
One all-in hourly rate
The bill rate covers wages, payroll, CPP and EI, WSIB and vacation pay. MapleGate is the employer of record, so payroll and workers' compensation liability sit with us, not on your books.
Temp to permanent, no extra fee
After a set number of hours worked, you can hire a temporary worker onto your own payroll with no additional fee. The number of hours is agreed up front.

How we screen
Every candidate goes through the same checks before an employer hears their name.
Phone screen
A recruiter speaks with every candidate about experience, availability, pay expectations and what they want next.
Skills check
We test the skills the role depends on, so a resume claim is backed by something we have seen.
Two references
We speak to two references before a candidate is put forward.
Certification verification
Red Seal, forklift and WHMIS certifications for trades and industrial roles are checked, not taken on trust.
Right-to-work verification
We confirm a candidate is legally able to work in the country where the role is based.
Hiring in your sector
A guide and a request form for each sector we cover, plus a primer on hiring across the border.
Light industrial and warehouse
Shift coverage, same-week starts where the role allows, and forklift and WHMIS tickets verified.
Skilled trades
Red Seal and site safety tickets checked before a candidate is put forward.
Office and administrative
Reception, administration, customer service and clerical staff, permanent or temporary.
Professional and corporate
Finance, insurance, IT, HR and management roles, up to the C-suite.
Hiring across the border
What TN status covers, direct hire versus contract in the U.S., and what stays with immigration counsel.
How it works
Three steps from opening a req to a signed offer.
Submit a role
The must-haves, the timeline, and what "good" looks like for this seat on your team.
Shortlist
You see candidates worth your time: screened, assessed, and ready to talk specifics.
Hire
Offer, onboarding logistics and follow-up. We stay involved until the seat is filled and settled.
Employer questions
How fast can you send me candidates?
We commit to a shortlist within 5 business days for office and industrial roles and 10 business days for professional roles, counted from a confirmed brief.
What do you need from me to get started?
A short brief: the role and where it sits, the must-haves, the pay range, the timeline, and who interviews. A ten-minute call is usually enough.
Do I have to work with you exclusively?
No. Exclusivity is your choice, and we can agree it role by role. A search is usually faster and more focused when one agency owns it.
What happens if the person I hire leaves?
Permanent placements carry a 90-day replacement guarantee. If the hire leaves or is let go within 90 days of starting, we run the search again at no additional fee. The exact terms are set out in your agreement.
Do you handle payroll for temporary and contract workers?
Yes. For temporary and contract placements in Canada, MapleGate is the employer of record and runs payroll, remittances and workers' compensation coverage. Cross-border assignments depend on the role and where the work is done, so we scope them with you and your advisers first. See hiring across the border.
How much does it cost?
Permanent placements are a percentage of first-year salary, invoiced on the start date. Temporary and contract work is a single all-in hourly bill rate. Rates depend on the role and volume, and we confirm them in writing before work starts. See how we charge.
Which roles do you fill?
Office and administrative, light industrial and warehouse, skilled trades, and professional and corporate roles, up to and including the C-suite.
Will I see candidates who are not a fit?
No. Every candidate is screened before you hear about them. If someone is not right for the seat, you do not see them. See how we screen.
