Recruiters are professional matchmakers with expert knowledge in their industry. A recruiter acts as an agent to provide a seamless end-to-end service in your job search. A recruiter typically works on a contingency basis—their time is compensated by the employer only if they find a perfect fit for the role. Choosing the right recruiter is critical to your success; we value the opportunity to help you find the next step in your career.

We are small, but specialized in our industry, and guarantee we will treat your career with care and attention.

Never. Charging a fee for recruitment services is illegal. Our clients—the employers—pay us a fee to reward us for connecting them with great talent.

We encourage you to communicate openly and to be proactive throughout the process. We enjoy working with people who take charge of their own destiny. Our success depends on open communication and teamwork. Ensure you keep us updated throughout the process as the partnership works better when both parties work together.

Yes. We have been helping international candidates find jobs in Canada since 2011. The first step to our recruitment process is to register with Outpost—it’s free and only takes a few minutes.

The next step for international candidates is to obtain the right to work in Canada. We break down some of the most popular immigration options here.

Outpost is owned and operated by immigrants who moved to Canada and who also own and operate Moving2Canada, a free information resource dedicated to helping newcomers in their move to Canada. As immigrants ourselves, we understand your experience and are here to help you along the way.

With more than a decade of experience helping international candidates find jobs in Canada, we are able to provide general guidance on Canada’s immigration pathways. As well, we offer a wealth of free immigration resources through our sister company, Moving2Canada.

The immigration process in Canada differs from other countries where employer sponsorship is extremely common. While employer-sponsored immigration is possible in Canada, it may be more challenging than in other countries. Canada’s immigration system prioritizes highly skilled immigrants who want to immigrate permanently, giving less emphasis to temporary foreign worker programs. We can help you navigate this system!

Although we have a wealth of immigration knowledge, we always recommend professional assistance in more complex scenarios as we are not immigration consultants. If you are seeking professional help with your immigration, please let us know. We have relationships with registered Canadian immigration consultants who offer these services.

No. This is one of the common myths about recruitment. Companies use recruitment agencies because they provide a valuable service to their organization. Recruitment fees are a cost of doing business (i.e. an investment in finding great people), and employers never deduct this fee from an employee’s compensation package.

The popularity of Outpost Recruitment is a result of our fantastic pool of global candidates, our caring approach to recruitment, and our cost-effective fees, which help employers control their hiring costs.

Yes, of course. We don’t enforce candidates to work exclusively with us, but we do ask candidates to keep us updated on their progress.
