About Impact

Founded in 2009, Impact Recruitment is a full service firm that partners with clients across Western Canada to provide the highest quality recruitment service in the market today.

Over the past four years, Impact Recruitment has grown by over 800% and currently enjoys a repeat business rate of over 90%. Our team of 25 skilled recruitment professionals work with many of the top companies in North America, including a host of BC’s top employers, fastest growing companies, and category leaders across all lines of our business.

With a new office in the Fraser Valley coming soon, the addition of our legal division, and record year in the making, there has never been a better time to join Impact Recruitment!

Working at Impact

Impact Recruitment is a specialized firm that offers clients the advantage of industry/vertical based recruitment. As a member of any of our divisions (Accounting, Corporate, Building, Industrial, Legal), you will work with a team of professionals that are concentrated on a specific niche and focused on a single goal – making great placements.

At Impact, we look for team members that fit; like-minded individuals with a passion for their industry, a thirst for knowledge and a desire to build a personal reputation and brand within their market. We like working with people who want to be the best at what they do, and we do everything possible to support that.

From our excellent, hands-on training, to our continual involvement in industry based associations and events, we give you the tools to be an expert in recruitment, and an expert in your chosen industry specialization.

We know the value in keeping our team happy – not only through an aggressive commission structure and a comprehensive benefits package but through monthly awards that help to facilitate our culture of shared success.

Our Structure

Our structure is set up to do two things exceptionally well. One: offer a multi-disciplinary recruitment service to our clients so they only have to work with a single service provider, and two: provide an environment where successful recruiters can play to their strengths and maximize their ability.

At Impact, we have the flexibility to offer both split desk and 360 desk options for any of our recruiters. The advantage of our structure is that we always have engagements that you can work on due to our committed business development team, and our excellent client loyalty.

In other words, whether you enjoy business development, recruitment, or some combination of both – we offer the ability to do what you do best, as often as possible. This system is excellent for recruitment professionals that enjoy recruiting and managing clients, but don’t enjoy making cold calls to develop business. Our dedicated business development team is constantly expanding our growing network of clients, and we have never had more recruitment projects on the go than we do today.

Our recruiters are specialized - giving you the opportunity to truly immerse yourself in one market; from attending events, to being part of committees and associations, and even contributing to publications. We encourage people to develop their brand within their chosen industry and we look for partners that share that vision and wish to make a name for themselves in the industry. We support different styles and we look for creativity and ingenuity in our people – which is exactly why we don’t count calls.

The Industrial Division

The Industrial Division works closely with skilled trades professionals across Western Canada. The companies we work with range from mid-size, private organizations, to some of the largest corporations in the country. This division handles mid to high level skilled trades roles in various industries such as: oil and gas, mining, manufacturing, and forestry. The most compelling reason to get excited about this division is the size and scope of our engagements – many of our clients ask us to source on a retained project basis, requiring many hires at the same time. We maintain great relationships with the top education facilities throughout BC in these fields, and we are continually bringing on new clients with huge goals. This division is poised for explosive growth!

About Your Role

As a Recruitment Specialist, your role is to develop and maintain a strong base of candidates within the Skilled Trades and Industrial market that will meet or exceed the needs of our existing and projected clients for the foreseeable future. We are looking for you to develop great relationships with key influencers in the industry, and grow your reach and reputation throughout.

You will be responsible for managing recruitment engagements from end-to-end. From the initial discussions with the employer, to managing the strategy of the recruitment project and all of its key elements, to finalizing placements and following up, you will be the keystone throughout the process.

About You

You are adaptable, persevering and motivated. You have an understanding of the industry, and your no-nonsense approach to communicating is well respected by candidates, clients and peers. You always go the extra mile because you care about quality. You move quickly and understand the importance of urgency. You are a great communicator and you focus on results.
