Two ways to hire.
Two questions decide which.

Where does this person need to be, and what is the budget? On trades the first one usually settles it, because the work is on site. On tech the second one does, because the same skill costs differently depending on where the person lives. We work both out with you on the first call.

How it works

From first call to first hire

Posting a role takes about ten minutes. Everything after that is built to save you time, not add to your list.

02
Day 1

Define

03
Day 7

Shortlist

Five to ten verified candidates, screened, vetted and credential checked.

04
Weeks 2 to 6

Interview and hire

Meet your favourites and make the call. You always make the final hiring decision.

05
Day 30 to 60

Review

What worked and what is next, while there is still time to change course. We also check in every two weeks early on.

Option A

Direct hire

The right person is already in Canada. You employ them.

What we do

  • Source, screen and vet against your role
  • Verify credentials, tickets and licences
  • Put a shortlist of verified candidates in front of you
  • Coordinate interviews
  • Replace the person free inside 90 days

What you do

Interview, choose, employ the person and run your own payroll. You always make the final hiring decision.

$10,000CAD flat, on placement

No deposit. No retainer. Same fee whatever the role and whatever the wage.

Add on to Option A

Add relocation

The right person is overseas and you need them here.

We look in Canada first. Where the skill is not here, or nobody will take the role at the rate the market sets, we source globally and bring the person over. The immigration work is done by a licensed immigration consultant, so it is quoted and billed separately from our placement fee, and you get that quote in writing before anything starts.

Option B

Managed embedded hire

The right person is overseas and stays there. We employ them.

How it works

We are the employer of record in the worker's country. Payroll, compliance and tax sit with us. You direct the work day to day, exactly as you would with anyone else on your team.

From $2,500CAD per month, all in

One invoice covering their salary, payroll, compliance, tax and our service fee. Not a fee on top of what you pay them.

Nothing is charged until they start.

What you get

  • A full time person, not a contractor and not part time.
  • Employed by us in their country, working only for you.
  • Replacement cover applies here too.

We do not carry a Canadian on our payroll in Canada. If the person is here, you employ them, which is a direct hire.

Questions

Before you book

How long until I see candidates?
Seven days from the point the role is defined. Five to ten verified candidates with full profiles.
Who decides who gets hired?
You do, always. Everyone you interview has already been vetted, but the decision is never ours.
Where do your candidates come from?
Wherever the skill is. We look in Canada first on every role. Overseas, we recruit across Africa and South America, wherever these trades are deep and available. If you have a preference either way, tell us on the call.
Do you only do overseas hiring?
No. Canada is the first place we look. Overseas is what happens when Canada does not answer, either because the skill is not here or because nobody will take the role at the rate the market sets.
What if the person does not work out?
Inside the first 90 days we replace them, with no second placement fee.
Is the embedded person full time?
Yes. A full time person working only for you, employed by us in their own country. Not a contractor, not shared, not part time. Terms are agreed on the hiring call.

The pilot

Working with us for the first time? Start with a pilot.

We are taking on 10 pilot employers. One or two real roles you genuinely need filled now, at a reduced rate, so you can see how we work before you commit to anything.

What you pay during the pilot

50% offMployNow's fee, first three months

  • Direct hire. Half the placement fee, so $5,000 CAD instead of $10,000.
  • Managed embedded. Half our monthly service fee. Not half your invoice, because the invoice also carries their salary, payroll and tax, and those are not ours to discount.

Standard rate from month four. Relocation is quoted separately by a licensed immigration consultant.

What we ask in return

  • One or two roles you genuinely need filled now
  • Feedback on each shortlist within five business days
  • A short review conversation while the pilot is running
  • A testimonial, only if the pilot earns it

No long contract. If it is not working for you, we talk it through and you can step away.

The pilot starts with a call

Thirty minutes to go through the roles, work out where the right person is and what the budget allows, and set your pilot rate against the role you are actually filling.
