Recruitment and placement agency in the Laurentides
Industry and aerospace in the south, services and tourism further north: the Laurentides market calls for an approach tailored to each area.
The market
What to know before hiring here.
The Laurentides stretch from the edge of the north suburbs all the way to the resort towns. Between Blainville and Mont-Tremblant, the job market changes completely: manufacturing and aerospace in the south, services, health care and tourism further north.
For an employer in the region, the question isn't just finding candidates, but finding the ones who are willing to work at that exact location, on those schedules. So we start by understanding the reality of your site.

Placement agency or recruitment agency in the Laurentides?
In the Laurentides, 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 industries in Mirabel and Blainville, headhunting also lets us reach specialists who are already employed.
Mirabel, Blainville, Sainte-Thérèse: the industrial zone
Mirabel is an aerospace hub, with an ecosystem of subcontractors around it. Blainville, Boisbriand and Sainte-Thérèse are home to manufacturers and distribution companies. Needs range from machine operators and technicians to production supervisors and project managers.
Saint-Jérôme and the north: services, health care, construction
Saint-Jérôme is the region's main centre: hospital, CEGEP, retail and services. Population growth supports residential construction and skilled trades there. Further north, service and tourism businesses deal with a scarce workforce.
For the city itself, see our Saint-Jérôme recruitment page.
Seasonal is the norm, not the exception
Between tourism, construction and landscaping, many Laurentides employers depend on the season. We plan searches ahead of time so candidates are ready when the peaks arrive, rather than starting over every year.
How a search works in the Laurentides
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 seasonal position or a job in a tourist area, we also talk about housing, transportation and the length of the job.
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.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do you recruit as far as the northern Laurentides?
Yes, depending on the position. In the north, talent pools are small: direct headhunting and attracting candidates from outside are often necessary.
Can you help us with seasonal positions?
Yes. Seasonal searches work best when they're planned a few weeks ahead.
Which industries do you recruit for most in the region?
Mainly production, construction, skilled trades and supervisory positions.
Do you do temporary staffing in the Laurentides?
No. Apex does permanent placement: the person is hired directly by your company. For several positions to fill at once, we also offer high-volume recruitment, always for permanent hires.
How much does a recruitment agency cost?
Our fees are simple and confirmed in writing before the search begins, depending on the position to fill. Our fees are results-based.
