People Services

People Services lie at the heart of WestCorp’s operations. Our specialization is assisting our clients in locating and onboarding the ideal professionals to fulfill their personnel needs, whether it be for short-term, mid-term, long-term, or even permanent positions.

There are three different types of People Services:

Contract

This option represents the most frequently used among our three People Services offerings: When you require a specific role to be filled for a certain timeframe, simply let us know your requirements, specifying the desired type of candidate and duration of the assignment. We will diligently source and provide you with an individual who precisely matches your criteria and commit to do our very best to ensure their continued support for as long as you require their services.

Contract to Hire

Resumes and interviews provide valuable insights, but we only really get to know each other when we work together. To allow for this deeper connection to happen, WestCorp presents our 'Contract to Hire' option. This avenue enables you to engage a candidate for a full-time position initially as a Contractor through WestCorp for a duration of about 6 months. This approach affords both you and the candidate the opportunity to work together, getting to know each other, and assessing compatibility, before making the commitment to permanent employment. This option is particularly interesting for roles that require the relocation of the new employee and their family and/or for sites in remote locations.

Direct Hire

At WestCorp, we understand the significance of finding the ideal candidate to join your organization permanently. Our 'Direct Hire' option is specifically designed to meet your needs when it comes to filling open full-time positions. Our comprehensive and personalized approach to staffing will ensure that we help you find the right talent to drive your team’s and company’s success. With our 'Direct Hire' service, we streamline the hiring process, making it efficient and effective. Our team is dedicated to understanding your company's unique culture, values, and requirements. By gaining a deep understanding of your organization, we can identify candidates who not only possess the skills, experience, and qualifications needed to thrive in your specific work environment…but who are also a great fit with your existing team and company culture.

How We Find Our Candidates

Our favorite way of finding new candidates is by referral. We frequently receive referrals from both our client contacts as well as our own team members. Past performance and behavior can provide insight into the most likely future performance and behavior. Having a mutual contact with a candidate, whether it’s a team member, colleague, or client, has proven to be the highest assurance of success.

Here is an overview of these and some other sources we use to find you the perfect match for your open positions:

  • Internal WestCorp candidate databases
  • WestCorp team's extensive networks
  • Client Referrals
  • Candidate referral programs
  • Social media recruiting
  • Advertising
  • Professional associations
  • Partnerships with diversity groups
  • Job fairs

Verification and Pre-Screening

    • Through our partner ‘Sterling Canada’
      • Employer reference checks
      • Employment eligibility
      • Criminal background check
      • Educational Background Check
    • Through our partner CannAmm
      • HSE and Drug & Alcohol pre-employment testing (where required)
    • By our internal HR and Recruiting team
      • Behavioral Interview, Personality assessments (if requested)

Furthermore, should a candidate not come through a direct referral, we actively seek out mutual connections within our extensive networks. Starting with reference checks from the references provided serves as a great initial step. However, having a mutual contact who can offer additional insights and feedback on a candidate for sure enhances our evaluation process.
