A manufacturing plant in the GTA
A manufacturing facility in the Greater Toronto Area came to Traverse for production staff and left with a hiring program: operators and line leads first, then 433A millwrights and industrial electricians, quality and sanitation, then the office roles including finance and HR. More than twenty hires in eighteen months, each one pre-screened to the plant's specifications and shift.
- 1Time to hire downTwo or three vetted profiles per role instead of a stack of applicants to sort on a Friday.
- 2The whole org chartFrom the line to the trades to the back office, from one partner who already knew the plant.
- 3Not just another recruitment firmA standing bench and a hiring process the plant still runs today.
The same plant, the same recruiter, every open role: that is what turns a staffing vendor into a hiring program.

Fees, guarantee, speed, screening.
What does it cost?
Market rates, and the structure flexes with the search. Fully contingent, which costs nothing unless you hire. Retained for leadership roles. A blend for volume. It depends on how many roles you have and how much of the recruiting you want us to carry, and we agree the structure on the call, before any search starts.
What if the hire doesn't work out?
Every candidate hired through Traverse comes with a guarantee. We stand by it, and we walk you through the terms on the call.
How fast will we see people?
The search starts right after the call, and bringing your time to hire down is the first job. You get two or three vetted profiles that fit the role, the shift and the certifications, not a stack of resumes. On the call we'll tell you what the market looks like for your role in your area.
How do you screen?
By specialty. HACCP, SQF and 433A on a plant floor; quota and attainment in sales; shipped work in AI; CPA status and close cycles in finance. We also reach the candidates who are not applying to postings or sitting on LinkedIn, and every profile is pre-screened to your specifications before you see it.
