Hire international candidates

To provide you with a wider range of recruitment and hiring solutions, we have teamed up with Recruit Without Borders to bring international candidates to Leeds and Grenville businesses. Recruit Without Borders specializes in recruiting temporary foreign workers and gathering all necessary data to complete Labour Market Impact Assessments and work permit applications, simplifying the process for all involved. It’s a one stop all in service at a fixed low cost no matter what the salary!

Upon arrival, recruited candidates will be supported by the EEC via our Immigrant Employment Services, to learn about Canadian workplace expectations, employment standards, and settling in Leeds and Grenville.

Our Business Services Manager is available to provide more information to your team. Contact us to set up a meeting.

access funding

Hiring new staff takes time and money. Studies estimate that recruiting for an entry-level, minimum wage position can cost employers thousands of dollars. We’re here to help you access the most suitable funding options.

With help from the provincial and federal governments, we have the pleasure of distributing funds like the Canada Ontario Job Grant, and other wage and training subsidies. There’s no need to research-It’s our business to know what’s out there and help you access it.

Wage and Training Subsidies
