Hire by role
Workers for every stage of the job
From the first dig to the last pallet out the door. Pick a role to see who we place and which tickets we check.
Why Impact
A crew you can count on, when you need it
A missing worker costs more than a wage. It costs the hours everyone else spends waiting. We are set up to stop that from happening.
Matching starts the same day
Send a request before noon and a recruiter starts calling matched workers that business day. You hear back with names, not a form letter.
Tickets checked before the site gate
We look at the certificate itself and its expiry date. You get copies with the worker's confirmation, so orientation doesn't stall.
Workers we have spoken to
Every worker has an interview with a recruiter and two reference calls with past supervisors before a first placement.
One invoice, no payroll admin
For temporary staff we handle pay, deductions, WCB coverage and records of employment. You approve hours and get one weekly invoice.
Ticket copies before day oneSent with every worker confirmation

How it works
From request to first shift in three steps
Tell us what the job needs
Send the roles, headcount, start date, shift, site location and the tickets you require. It takes about three minutes, and a recruiter replies the same business day with any questions.
Review matched workers
We send a short list with each worker's trade, experience, tickets and references. You choose who starts, or ask to speak with them first.
Workers arrive ready
Workers show up with PPE, tools and ticket copies. We check in after the first shift, and if someone isn't right for the job we replace them.

Staffing services
Six ways to staff a job
Choose the model that fits the work. If you aren't sure, describe the job and we'll recommend one.
Temporary staffing
Workers by the shift, the week or the season.
For workload you can't plan around: a pour that moved, a sick crew, a seasonal peak. Workers stay on our payroll and you approve hours weekly.
How it worksTemp-to-hire
See the work before you make the offer.
The worker starts as a temporary placement. If the fit is right after an agreed number of hours, you hire them onto your own payroll.
How it worksPermanent placement
A shortlist for roles you need to keep filled.
For foremen, superintendents, lead hands, estimators and senior tradespeople. We search, screen and present a shortlist, and you interview and hire.
How it worksProject and shutdown crews
A full crew with a lead hand, for one job.
Tell us the scope and dates. We assemble a crew by trade and ticket, name a lead hand as your single point of contact, and demobilise when the job ends.
How it worksPayroll for workers you found
You pick the worker. We carry the paperwork.
Already know who you want for a short project? We take them onto our payroll so you don't open a file for a six-week job.
How it worksRush requests
For the call that comes at 4 p.m.
When someone doesn't show or a delivery arrives a day early, send a rush request. We call the workers who are available tomorrow morning first.
How it worksProject crews
Crews built around the job
Tell us the scope and the dates. We put the crew together by trade and ticket and name one lead hand as your contact.

Why employers use a specialist
Three ways to fill the same role, side by side.
| Impact Recruitment | Hiring on your own | General labour agency | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Who you talk to | A recruiter who knows trades and sites | Whoever answers the job ad | A dispatcher filling the next order |
| Time to a shortlist | Matching starts the same business day | Weeks of posting, sorting and calls | Fast, but often whoever is free |
| Trade certificates | Checked against the certificate before placement | Up to you to request and read | Often not checked |
| Safety tickets | Copies with expiry dates sent before day one | Collected at orientation, if at all | Varies by branch |
| References | Two supervisor references per worker | Up to you | Rarely taken |
| If the fit is wrong | We replace the worker | Start the search again | Depends on the contract |
| Payroll, WCB and records | Handled for temporary staff | Yours to set up and run | Handled |
| Roles covered | Labourer to superintendent | Whatever you can attract | Mostly general labour |
On the job
How a request plays out
Three typical requests, from the first call to the last shift.
Construction
A framing contractor needs six people by Monday
A wood-frame townhome project in the southeast gets its lumber package a week early. The contractor's own crew is tied up on another site.
- Thursday: request for 1 lead hand, 3 framers and 2 labourers, with CSTS-2020 and Fall Protection
- Friday: shortlist sent with tickets and references; the site super picks the crew
- Monday: crew on site at 7 a.m. with tools and PPE; recruiter calls the super after the first shift
Industrial
A distribution centre staffs up for peak
A third-party logistics warehouse near the airport expects volume to double from late October. It needs trained reach truck operators on afternoons.
- September: headcount plan agreed by week, with a list of approved alternates
- October: operators certified on the site's trucks before the first peak shift
- January: the crew scales back, and the strongest two move to temp-to-hire
Skilled trades
A mechanical contractor covers a plant shutdown
A food plant has a five-day maintenance window. The mechanical contractor needs millwrights and welders with confined space tickets for those five days only.
- Three weeks out: scope, shifts and required tickets confirmed
- One week out: ticket copies and a crew list sent for the plant's gate clearance
- Shutdown week: lead hand reports attendance daily; the crew demobilises on day five
For job seekers
Good at your trade? We'll keep you working.
Register once. A recruiter learns your trade, your tickets and the work you want, then calls you when a job fits. Workers never pay a fee.
- Temporary, temp-to-hire and permanent jobs
- Weekly pay by direct deposit on temporary work
- Jobs matched to the tickets you hold
- A recruiter who tells you exactly what the job is
Questions
What employers ask us first
Can't see your question? Send it with your request and a recruiter will answer it directly.
How fast can you send workers?
It depends on the role and the tickets. General labourers and warehouse staff can often start within a day or two. Journeypersons and supervisors take longer because fewer are free at any time. We tell you what is realistic when you send the request.
How do you screen workers?
Each worker has an interview with a recruiter, two reference calls with past supervisors, and a check of trade certificates and safety tickets against the documents themselves. We record expiry dates and send you copies before the first shift.
What does it cost?
Temporary staff are billed at an hourly rate that covers the worker's pay, statutory deductions, WCB coverage and our fee. Permanent placements are a one-time fee. We quote in writing before anyone starts, so there are no surprises on the invoice.
What if a worker isn't right for the job?
Tell us as early as you can, ideally during the first shift. We replace the worker and review what we missed in the match.
Who covers WCB and payroll?
For temporary and temp-to-hire placements, workers are on our payroll. We handle pay, deductions, WCB coverage and records of employment. For permanent placements the worker joins your payroll from day one.
Can I hire a temporary worker permanently?
Yes. Temp-to-hire is set up for exactly that, with the conversion point agreed before the worker starts.
Which areas do you cover?
Calgary and the surrounding communities, including Airdrie, Cochrane, Chestermere, Okotoks and the Foothills and Balzac industrial areas.
