Recruitment & Consulting Services

Need help hiring Engineers in this hot candidate-driven market?

I help companies hire Engineers with an electrical, mechanical & computer science background (Control System Engineers, Electrical & Mechanical Engineers/Designers, PLC Programmers, Automation Engineers, Robotics Engineers... with a focus is in BC, AB, ON)

If you are struggling to fill these types of roles and advertising just isn’t working and you want the best candidates in the market, reach out!

When clients work with me, they get:

-A DEDICATED SEARCH PARTNER: I work with no more than 2-3 retained clients at any time, so you know I’m laser focused on finding you the best available candidate in the market. With cadence meeting and weekly progress reports clients are always kept in the loop.

-A BRAND AMBASSADOR: I take the time to truly understand your company and culture, and the role you’re looking to fill. This allows me to set-up realistic candidate expectations which results in very high retention rates with a Replacement Guarantee provided.

Your employees will ultimately determine the success or failure of your business!

I have worked in both in-house and agency settings and have learnt from experience. To be successful you need a quality recruitment process and a recruiter who is focused on your role/s.

I know it is frustrating! The amount of money, time, and filtering involved with advertising and one bad hire can be catastrophic. Since I started offering my engaged search, I have had a 100% success rate and I am determined to keep it that way. With my engaged search, you will get intel into the market and you are always kept in the loop. I find candidates who are the closest fit to what you are looking for.

Stop wasting time and resources and start working with niche recruiters like myself. Your company and your team deserve it!

LinkedIn Recommendations

I worked with Merissa in the latter half of 2022 hiring several electrical & software engineers. I found her very easy to work with. She was friendly, professional, responsive and well-informed. As a recruiter, she also seemed to have access to a wide pool of candidates.

I particularly appreciated her objective opinions and her industry insight. I would have no hesitation in working with Merissa again in future and I whole-heartedly recommend her for similar recruitment work.

I’ve dealt with numerous Recruitment Agencies over the years and have had mixed experiences. Merissa brought a fresh approach to recruitment through her engaged searches. She really took the time to understand the role we were hiring for, the company, the culture and worked hard to find suitable candidates. Through her weekly written summaries and phone calls, it was clear that Merissa was working diligently to find the people we were looking for. Working with her brought the joy back into working with recruitment agencies.

Merissa was fantastic to work with. Merissa operates in a different manner than other search partners we have worked with. She really focused on getting to know our corporate philosophy and truly understand the important characteristics we were in search of with a new hire. Merissa is extremely organized, candid and removed all of the hurdles that we typically face when performing the search on our own.

I would certainly recommend working with Merissa.
