Larson & Associates Recruitment Services distinguishes itself in the recruiting community with proactive, relationship-driven search techniques that allow us to quickly penetrate any new market and to source both active and passive candidates. We uphold the highest ethical standards and are fully committed to fostering equality and non-discriminatory recruitment practices.

Spending the time to ensure that we understand our clients' values and culture, in addition to gaining a solid understanding of their business and organizational goals, ensures our success in placing top-performing candidates at all levels and in a broad range of functional areas including management & professional, accounting & finance, human resources, customer service, communications, sales & marketing and administrative & office. Our industry expertise encompasses associations, banking & finance, construction, food processing, government, health care, logistics & warehousing, manufacturing & distribution, not-for-profit, and professional services.

Our fees can be structured to accommodate various engagements and are generally a percentage of the new hire’s annual compensation. On a limited basis, we can “unbundle” our services for smaller projects such as preliminary screening of candidates you have already attracted, reference checking of short-list candidates or consultation on interview techniques and questions.

Working on hundreds of recruitment assignments since 1991 has taught us that clients don’t want their time wasted with a pile of resumes. An effective recruiting process, one that yields the most qualified candidates, requires a consistent structure and an upfront investment in developing the framework for the project.

Profile - We start by creating detailed corporate, position and candidate profiles that encompass culture, values and competitive advantages.
Source - Advertising in local media and on the Larson & Associates website, searching our candidate database, headhunting, networking and referrals allow us to represent your opportunity effectively to candidates, including passive candidates. We are able to contact candidates in our Calgary database who have roots in Saskatchewan, ensuring that those wishing to return are kept apprised of opportunities in Saskatoon and area.

Check - In checking references for your top choices, we can explore areas specific to your project’s profiles.
