Recruitment and placement agency in Granby
Plastics, manufacturing, agri-food and tourism: Granby has a more varied job market than its size suggests.
The local market
Recruiting in Granby.
Granby is a mid-sized city with a large number of manufacturers, especially in plastics and rubber, as well as agri-food companies and tourism linked to the zoo and the national park. The mix is unusual and creates very varied staffing needs.
The city is about an hour from Montréal and a few minutes from Bromont and Cowansville, which widens the potential recruiting pool without workers having to move.
What employers are looking for
Placement agency or recruitment agency in Granby?
In Granby, many employers look for a “placement agency.” The term covers two different services: temporary staffing, where the agency remains the employer, and permanent placement, where the agency finds a person you hire directly.
Apex does permanent placement. We find, assess and present candidates, and you hire them in your name, on your payroll. Our fees are confirmed in writing before the search begins. For plants that train their staff on site, we target reliable, motivated people rather than specific experience.
Plastics and manufacturing
Manufacturers in the region are looking for injection press operators, process technicians, machine setters, maintenance mechanics and supervisors. These trades are largely learned on the job, which lets an employer train a motivated candidate, as long as the supervision is clear.
Services, tourism and agri-food
The city's services and tourism businesses recruit administrative, sales, reception and coordination staff. The summer and holiday peaks bring seasonal needs that we prepare for in advance.
For the wider context, see our Eastern Townships recruitment page.
Training on the job, with a clear framework
In plastics, many employers prefer to hire a motivated person and train them on their machines. This works when the training program really exists: who trains, for how long, when the employee becomes autonomous. We ask for these details before presenting candidates and share them, so that training becomes a selling point rather than an unknown.
How a search works in Granby
It all starts with a conversation about the role: the tasks, the schedule, the pay, the team and what makes someone succeed with you. For a plant position, we also clarify the on-site training and the shifts, two factors that weigh heavily in Granby candidates' decisions.
We then tap into our candidate pool, targeted job postings and direct outreach to people who are already employed. Every candidate goes through pre-screening and an interview with our team before being presented to you, with a clear summary. You only meet the selected profiles, and we stay available through onboarding.
