Hays Canada

Hays Canada is the Canadian operation of a global specialist recruitment company, offering permanent, contract and temporary staffing as well as workforce-solutions such as RPO (Recruitment Process Outsourcing) and MSP (Managed Service Provider). According to the company, the Canadian branch opened its first office in 2001, now covering the country with multiple offices and more than 250 staff across six (or eight) locations.

The firm serves a broad range of industry sectors including information technology, construction & property, accounting & finance, office/contract professionals, resources & mining. It also offers recruiting expertise in human resources functions and supply-chain/logistics roles.

From a candidate perspective, Hays provides job search support across specialist roles rather than purely entry-level staffing. For each assignment they highlight their “industry experts” model, meaning consultants deeply familiar with their vertical market. From an employer perspective, they promote knowledge-led services, workforce advisory, innovation and global network leverage to access talent.

That said, users of Hays should note a few practical points: as a specialist recruiter, Hays may focus more on mid-to-senior level roles or niche functions—candidates with very general or entry-level roles may find fewer opportunities than in large broad-service temp agencies. Also the experience may vary significantly by local office and by industry vertical—so clarity on contract terms, assignment details or permanent conversion is still recommended.

In summary: if you are a professional or employer in Canada looking for staffing or recruitment support in specialist fields (IT/engineering/finance/construction) then Hays Canada offers a credible national service backed by global scale and specialist focus. If you’re applying for very general roles or hourly-wage temps it may still be worthwhile but you should check the fit.
