Talent Acquisition Specialist

Brandt Corporate Services Ltd is currently seeking a Recruiter for our Quebec locations.

The Recruiter/Talent Acquisition Specialist is responsible for proactively identifying, attracting, and securing talent across an assigned area. This position partners closely with hiring managers and operational leaders to understand workforce requirements, develop effective recruitment strategies, build candidate pipelines, and deliver recruitment solutions across a diverse portfolio of positions.

This is a hands on talent acquisition role with a strong focus on direct sourcing, headhunting, candidate engagement, market intelligence, and hiring manager partnership. The Talent Acquisition Specialist is expected to actively seek talent in the market, build relationships with passive candidates, and identify new talent sources rather than relying primarily on applicants generated through job postings.

This is a full time, onsite position based at a Brandt location within the assigned area and requires regular travel between Brandt locations and participation in internal and external recruitment events.

Brandt is a customer driven company, privately owned and family run, strengthened by diversification and succeeding through specialization. We operate over 170 locations across Canada, the USA, Australia, and New Zealand.

For nine decades, the people of Brandt have stood shoulder-to-shoulder with the hardworking people that we serve. And really, there’s no place we’d rather be because just like them, it’s when we’re working hard and getting things done that we’re at our best.

Our success is driven by a passionate belief in the unlimited potential of our company and the ultimate success of our customers and we act on that belief every single day.
