We Helped a Global Recruiting Firm Go From 2 To 20 Canadian Employees
Challenge
A global recruiting firm had a chance to serve a rapidly growing client but needed to move quickly to source, hire, and payroll global top talent in Canada. The recruiting firm was experiencing rapid growth and needed to scale their Canadian operations from 2 to 20 employees to meet client demands. They faced the challenge of quickly establishing a compliant payroll and HR infrastructure in Canada without the time or resources to set up a local entity. The firm needed to ensure they could hire top talent quickly while maintaining full compliance with Canadian employment laws and regulations across different provinces.
Solution
Canadian Payroll Services provided comprehensive Employer of Record (EOR) services to enable the recruiting firm's rapid expansion in Canada. As the EOR, Canadian Payroll Services hired all employees on behalf of the recruiting firm, handling all aspects of employment compliance, payroll processing, and HR administration. The solution included:
- Complete payroll management for all Canadian employees
- Ensuring compliance with federal and provincial employment standards
- Managing benefits administration and statutory deductions
- Providing ongoing HR support and guidance
- Handling all employment-related paperwork and documentation
- Offering local expertise on Canadian labor laws and regulations
This allowed the recruiting firm to focus on their core business of finding and placing talent while Canadian Payroll Services managed all the back-end employment responsibilities.
Results
The recruiting firm successfully scaled their Canadian operations from 2 to 20 employees, representing a 900% growth in their Canadian workforce. This rapid expansion enabled them to better serve their growing client base and capture new business opportunities in the Canadian market. The firm was able to hire top talent quickly without the delays and costs associated with setting up a local Canadian entity. They maintained full compliance with Canadian employment laws throughout the expansion process and were able to focus their resources on business growth rather than administrative tasks.
