Recruiting in Halifax

Halifax’s economic boom has created a recruitment challenge as the need for talent is growing faster than the population. While having a strong local network is still important, companies need to fill the demand across all sectors by recruiting top candidates to Halifax.

Our 20 years of experience as Halifax headhunters have taught us that, while the Atlantic provinces have more opportunities than most candidates initially realize, Halifax’s cultural transformation and family-friendly atmosphere make it easier to sell to candidates than ever before. In our 20 years of experience recruiting into Halifax, we’ve also learned the pull of the path home for born & raised Haligonians and, consequently, we’ve developed a deep network of ex-Maritimers. We used both of these tactics recently to help Irving Shipbuilding with a sudden and massive need for talent across a wide range of disciplines.
