Acumen Agency Is Mass Hiring

Acumen Agency is a growing startup and international business services company currently undertaking mass hiring across Canada and internationally.

We are looking for energetic, ambitious people to join our team as HR Recruiters and Talent Acquisition Specialists and help us recruit, onboard, develop, and manage hundreds of new team members across multiple departments.

This is more than simply an HR position. It is an chance to learn, earn, build your resume, develop real-world business experience, manage people, and grow into greater leadership and management responsibilities as the company expands.

Why Join a Startup?

One of the biggest advantages of joining a growing startup is that there is room to grow.

As Acumen Agency expands, new opportunities in management, leadership, operations, HR, sales, business development, and executive-level functions will become available. People who demonstrate strong performance, leadership, and the ability to produce results can position themselves for greater responsibility and career advancement.

If you have an entrepreneurial spirit and want to be part of building something rather than simply working inside an established corporate structure, this could be an excellent opportunity.

The Opportunity

This position starts as a performance-based role with clear targets and measurable objectives.

You can earn through performance bonuses and results-based compensation, with strong performers having the opportunity to transition to an hourly or salary-based position as soon as possible as the company grows.

The goal is simple

Perform well. Create value. Grow with the company. Create opportunities for yourself.

We are looking for people who want to prove themselves through their work and results and potentially take on significantly greater responsibility as Acumen Agency expands.

What You'll Do

You will be provided with a hiring list, recruitment framework, and established processes outlining the positions we need to fill. Your role will be to help execute our mass-hiring strategy while also supporting the people you recruit after they join the company.

Responsibilities include

- Post job opportunities across Indeed, social media, employment platforms, and other recruitment channels.
- Source candidates through job boards, social media, networking, cold outreach, referrals, and other channels.
- Follow up with applicants and prospective candidates.
- Screen resumes and conduct initial interviews.
- Assess candidates for communication skills, work ethic, initiative, experience, and suitability for the position.
- Communicate Acumen Agency's vision, culture, expectations, and opportunities to candidates.

- Help new employees understand their responsibilities, targets, tools, systems, and expectations.
- Provide or coordinate training and resources for new team members.
- Maintain candidate and employee pipelines and consistently follow up.

- Help improve our recruitment, onboarding, training, and people-management processes as the company scales.

Recruiting Is Only Part of the Job

This position is not simply about filling job openings.

As Acumen Agency grows, you may help manage and develop the people you recruit.

For example, you may recruit proposal writers, salespeople, cold callers, social media managers, HR personnel, and business development staff and then help ensure that those individuals are properly onboarded, trained, equipped, motivated, and performing their responsibilities.

The objective is not simply to hire people.

The objective is to build productive teams.

That means being comfortable with:

- Interviewing and selecting candidates.
- Onboarding new team members.
- Helping people understand their responsibilities.
- Training and supporting employees.
- Helping employees access the tools and resources they need.

- Monitoring performance.
- Motivating people to achieve their objectives.
- Helping underperforming team members improve.
- Recognizing strong performers and helping them take on greater responsibility.
- Coordinating multiple team members and departments.
- Reporting progress and performance to management.

Strong people-management skills will be highly valuable in this position.

Acumen Agency is involved in pursuing business opportunities with governments and other organizations, and we are building teams responsible for identifying opportunities, preparing proposals, and pursuing contracts.

You should be interested in learning about:

- Government contracting and procurement.
- How government organizations evaluate bids and proposals.
- Finding and assessing government contract opportunities.
- Proposal writing and development.
- Understanding government requirements and evaluation criteria.
- Developing budgets and pricing for proposals.
- Preparing professional and compliant submissions.
- Understanding what makes a proposal competitive.
- Coordinating proposal writers and other team members.
- Helping improve the quality and effectiveness of proposals.

Previous experience with government contracting, procurement, proposal writing, RFPs, RFQs, RFSQs, tenders, or government bids is an advantage.

You do not necessarily need to be an expert in every area. However, you should be comfortable learning quickly, understanding requirements, organizing people, and helping others perform effectively.

More Than Just HR

Although HR and recruitment are the primary focus, we also encourage our team members to think entrepreneurially.

Team members may also have opportunities to:

- Reach out to businesses.
- Generate sales leads.
- Promote Acumen Agency's services.
- Identify potential clients.




- Support business development.
- Assist with government contracting opportunities.
- Support proposal development.
- Help recruit additional team members.
- Identify opportunities to improve company systems and operations.
- Help generate new revenue for the company.

These activities can provide additional opportunities for performance bonuses and increased earnings.

We're looking for people who don't simply want to complete a checklist — we want people who see opportunities and take initiative.

Performance Over Academic Credentials

Academic qualifications are appreciated and can be valuable, but they are not the only measure of success at Acumen Agency.

If you have the experience, skills, energy, work ethic, communication ability, leadership ability, and drive to succeed, we encourage you to apply even if your academic background doesn't perfectly match the position.

We are particularly interested in people who can produce results and help other people produce results.
