    I dealt with them as a job seeker, and my advisor was able to offer me several positions that matched my expectations, aspirations, and skills, based on my personality and previous work experience. They are truly recruitment professionals, not just a placement agency that finds anyone at any price.

    St. Amour has been an excellent recruiting partner for my company, Goldbeck Recruiting, in Eastern Canada for almost 20 years. Whenever our clients have requirements for sales, operations, finance or other positions in Quebec or Ontario we partner with St. Amour to find the best candidates as effectively as possible. All of the recruiters at St. Amour’s Toronto and Montreal offices are highly professional, dedicated and extremely hard working. They have helped us fill our clients' difficult positions quickly and efficiently. They are absolutely trustworthy, communicate very well and have substantial networks in both provinces and most industries. It is reassuring to know that, when our national clients have a recruiting need in Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa or any other city in central Canada, that we will be able to partner with St. Amour to provide professional, trustworthy service.

    Do you have some questions?

    The purpose of a headhunting agency is to find the person who was made for your vacant position. A placement agency, on the other hand, usually takes care of the management and remuneration of the employees it places in your company temporarily (external pay slip).

    Because your time is always better spent developing your business and managing your day-to-day work. Leave the task of recruitment, which has been our reason for being and our expertise for almost 50 years.

    St-Amour is a trusted and reputable Canadian firm that offers customized recruitment services. Our headhunters are experienced and have extensive knowledge of the field since they’ve worked in the sectors for which they recruit! They’re completely tuned in to your needs and aware of your internal issues.

    At St-Amour, we commit to a real collaboration with you! We search for and interview candidates proactively. We meet with them face to face, generally for over an hour. Since we do much more than a simple phone call, we know which candidates have the strengths, experience, and expertise you’re looking for. Without even having to start a new search, we’re able to identify the most talented contenders thanks to our extraordinary pool of candidates.

    Since our recruiters are men and women who’ve worked in the field, they concentrate on the sectors they come from!

    Our specialties:
    Consumer Goods
    Pharmaceutical and Medical
    Communications and Media
    Construction and Engineering
    Industrial and Manufacturing
    Business Services

    We offer our services for the following job categories:

    Sales
    Marketing
    Production and Engineering
    Logistics and Procurement
    Human Resources
    Finance

    Scientific and Technical Positions
    Executives

    We handle urgent recruitment assignments routinely, and we also know that time and resources are necessary to ensure that the best person is found for the position. Allow around 5 to 15 days for the acceptance of the recruitment assignment, the market search, and the list of candidates. The next steps are up to you: how quickly you plan and conduct interviews and make a decision. In order to guarantee a reliable and effective recruitment process, it’s important that the deciding managers (hiring managers) are involved from the beginning. Positions are generally filled within 2 months.

    You’re better off when you work with a single recruitment firm. Dealing with more than one provider leads to the duplication of candidates and weakens your employer brand, which is essential for attracting the best talents and preserving a high standard of integrity. We conduct business with great pride and the utmost professionalism and take on the responsibility to represent your interests on the market. We won’t water down your employer brand since we take our role as your company’s recruitment partner seriously. Each candidate we speak with on your behalf will be treated with the same professionalism your own team would show.

    We recommend sending the candidate you found to our team so that they can go through the same selection process as the talent we’ve selected. Once the candidate has been chosen, our replacement guarantee will apply, which isn’t insignificant.

    We recommend that you get in contact with one of our recruiters; he/she will be pleased to discuss our rates with you.

    We treat each request individually to offer you a truly personalized service that is tailored to your needs. Depending on the position to be filled and the estimated number of hours of work, we may ask for an advance, but this isn’t done systematically. Please don’t hesitate to contact us directly. It would be a pleasure to discuss your project!

    Our team of expert recruiters draw on the extensive network they have worked in over the course of their careers, and from which they are accustomed to recruiting. Their strengths lie in their hands-on knowledge of the field.

    They rely on and use data from a variety of qualified sources to provide the diagnosis, analysis and recommendations that will guide your talent acquisition decisions.

    We conduct an exhaustive interview with each candidate. Behavioural questions, situation questions, and certain case studies may be used to evaluate candidates. We offer pre-employment background checks: court, academic, and credit. All our methods are known and approved by our clients. For almost 50 years, St-Amour has been creating the finest alliances, and not for nothing!

    We offer different psychometric tests that are adapted to specific types of positions. Psychometric tests greatly improve companies’ chances of hiring the right person. They’re a real support for preparing for job interviews, facilitating the internal promotion process, and even discovering your leaders of tomorrow.

    Of course, this is an excellent idea. This would enable a consistent evaluation of candidates on the same criteria.

    We recruit for management and leadership positions such as:

    • General Manager (GM)
    • Vice-President (VP)
    • Chief Executive Officer (CEO)
    • Directors and middle managers
    • Executive-level professionals in various strategic sectors

    Our multi-sector expertise covers, among others:

    • Professional and B2B services
    • Finance
    • Consumer goods
    • Medical, health, and pharmaceutical
    • Marketing, media, and communications
    • Information technology and artificial intelligence
    • Engineering, production, and construction
    • Human resources, sales, and marketing

    Yes. We also support North American and European companies wishing to recruit executives for their subsidiaries in Canada. We also advise on Canadian taxation, legislation, and regulations.

    In addition to executive recruitment, we offer:

    • Executive coaching and leadership support
    • Organizational development strategies
    • Team and operational structuring
    • Psychometric assessments and selection tests

    Our consultants use psychometric and potential assessment tests to better understand the leadership, skills, and cultural compatibility of candidates with your organization.

    Our Canadian and international network allows us to identify, attract, and evaluate leaders who bring real added value. Our five pillars: ethics, agility, perseverance, innovation, and confidentiality, guarantee professional and tailor-made support.

    Yes. We not only support companies but also executives and leaders in managing their careers, by advising and guiding them towards the best opportunities.

    You can reach us directly through our website or at our Montreal offices. Our team will be happy to answer your questions and discuss your executive recruitment needs.
