Calgary Staffing: FAQs
We specialize in providing a wide range of skilled trades and industrial professionals. This includes but is not limited to welders, pipefitters, electricians, carpenters, and heavy equipment operators. We also provide project managers, safety officers, and technical professionals. Beyond the job site, we can also help you find IT professionals and administrative staff to support your back-office needs.
Our screening process is very thorough to ensure we only provide the highest quality talent. We verify all trade certifications and relevant experience, and we also conduct background checks and safety orientations. For projects that require security clearances, we ensure all personnel are pre-vetted through the Controlled Goods Program or have the necessary Reliability or Secret level status.
Yes, we do. While we are proud of our Calgary roots and serve the entire Southern Alberta region, we also have a national reach. We have the infrastructure to deploy workers to project sites across Canada, including remote locations, while maintaining the same high standards of safety and reliability.
We offer flexible staffing solutions to fit your specific needs. This includes temporary workers for project peaks or coverage gaps, temp-to-hire options that let you evaluate a candidate on-site, and direct hire services for permanent leadership or technical roles. We can also handle your Employer of Record (EOR) and payroll needs to simplify your administration.
