Impact Recruitment

Impact Recruitment is a recruitment agency headquartered in Vancouver, Canada, that emphasises direct-hire (permanent) recruitment rather than large-scale temporary staffing. Founded in 2009, the firm describes itself as “intentionally different” and determined to create viable opportunities for professionals and to support the growth of organisations.

For job-seekers in Canada, Impact Recruitment offers a focused service model: you submit your profile, and their specialist teams (covering a wide array of verticals) will match you with roles that aim for a longer-term fit. The agency highlights its value-add such as salary-guides, market insight and career-path consultation. On the employer side, the firm states that it maintains specialist teams covering more than 75 verticals, enabling targeted hiring in sectors such as corporate services, finance & accounting, construction, insurance, property administration, legal and professional services.

Strengths of Impact Recruitment include its boutique-specialist positioning (rather than large general staffing), strong vertical focus, and an emphasis on permanent placements. On the flip side, because the focus is narrower and primarily on direct hire, candidates seeking high-volume temporary or contract roles may find the coverage less broad than large full-service staffing agencies. Also service experience may vary by region and vertical due to the specialist nature of the firm.

In summary: if you are a professional in Canada seeking a permanent role in one of the firm’s covered verticals, or an employer seeking a specialist recruitment partner (not a mass-temp provider), Impact Recruitment is a credible choice. As with all recruitment engagements, it is advisable to engage early, clarify role type, contract terms, success metrics and regional support.
