Recruitment agency in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu
Manufacturers, agri-food, construction: Haut-Richelieu employers are looking for reliable people, and the talent pool is getting tighter.
The local market
Recruiting in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu.
Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu is both an industrial and an agricultural city. Along the Richelieu River and around the industrial park, manufacturers operate alongside agri-food companies and service SMEs. The city is also home to a military base, which shapes part of the workforce.
About an hour from Montréal via Highway 35, the city attracts both workers who leave it every day and others who live there to work there. Employers' challenge is to keep the second group and attract the first.
What employers are looking for
Manufacturing and agri-food
Plants in the region need operators, maintenance technicians, welders, storekeepers and production supervisors. Agri-food companies also look for labourers, drivers and quality control technicians, with seasonal peaks.
A mid-sized market: proximity matters
For a Haut-Richelieu employer, recruiting starts with talking to local people. We contact candidates from Saint-Jean, Iberville, Saint-Luc and neighbouring municipalities, then widen to the South Shore and Montréal when the profile calls for it.

Keeping the people you've hired
In a mid-sized city, an employer's reputation spreads fast: a sloppy welcome is known within weeks. We suggest our clients plan the first week: who welcomes, who trains, who answers questions. Our article on the 30-60-90 day onboarding plan details the approach. A well-welcomed employee becomes the best referral for the next hire.
