Leading the Function

- Own the talent acquisition strategy, processes and standards across Guardteck in BC, AB and ON
- Serve as player-coach: carry a personal requisition load while setting the pace, priorities and quality bar for the broader recruiting effort
- Coach, mentor and develop recruiters- build their craft, review their work, and raise the floor on screening quality, candidate communication and data discipline
- Allocate requisitions and workload across the team based on urgency, complexity and client impact, and act as the escalation point when a role or a mobilization is at risk
- Build and maintain the playbooks: intake templates, structured interview guides, screening criteria, offer processes and onboarding handoffs - so hiring is consistent at every site, in every region
- Own vendor, job board and sourcing tool relationships, evaluate ROI, and recommend where the recruitment budget is best spent

Full-Cycle and High-Volume Recruiting

- Manage concurrent requisitions across salaried professional and high-volume hourly roles, maintaining quality and pace without compromise
- Source, screen, interview, extend offers and close candidates across multiple talent segments simultaneously
- Lead large-scale mobilizations - current site contracts, seasonal surges and sudden client wins - using batch screening, group interviewing, hiring events and pre-built pipelines
- Apply skills-based hiring practices to evaluate candidates not just on experience, but on potential, adaptability, reliability and alignment with Guardteck's values
- Own the full candidate experience from first touchpoint to first day, ensuring every interaction reflects who we are

Proactive Sourcing and Pipeline Strategy





- Build and maintain a diverse, multi-channel talent pipeline - past applicants, referrals, alumni, silver medallists and direct sourcing - so Guardteck is never starting from zero
- Maintain a warm bench of pre-screened, licence-ready candidates for recurring and hard-to-fill posts
- Develop and nurture talent communities, keeping prospective candidates engaged and informed about Guardteck's culture, opportunities and growth long before a requisition opens
- Leverage market intelligence and labour data to inform sourcing strategy, anticipate future talent needs, and advise hiring managers proactively - not reactively
- Explore unconventional and niche channels: professional networks, community organizations, industry groups and social media, to reach candidates who are not actively searching

Hiring Events, Campus and Community Partnerships

- Plan, coordinate and lead hiring fairs and recruitment events - community job fairs, virtual hiring events and Guardteck-hosted open houses - representing our brand with energy, professionalism and authenticity
- Identify, establish and manage partnerships with post-secondary institutions (colleges, universities and vocational programs) to build early-career pipelines for security professional and administrative roles
- Cultivate relationships with academic career centres,



co-op and internship coordinators and student associations, creating consistent touchpoints long before graduation
- Engage community employment programs, newcomer support organizations, military and first-responder transition programs, and other partners to diversify our talent pool and extend our reach into underrepresented segments
- Build the annual events and partnership calendar, set targets for each, and measure what each one actually delivers

Stakeholder Partnership and Workforce Planning

- Build trusted, consultative relationships with hiring managers across operations, security divisions and corporate functions - partnering on role design, candidate criteria and hiring timelines
- Advise hiring leaders and executives on market conditions, realistic candidate profiles and competitive compensation - serving as the go-to talent expert in the room, not an order-taker
- Participate in workforce planning with operations and finance, bringing forward data and market insight that helps leaders think ahead about their talent needs
- Partner with Operations on client mobilization planning, so staffing readiness is built into the contract timeline rather than discovered at the end of it

Onboarding and Pre-Boarding

- Own the pre-boarding and onboarding journey in partnership with HR and Operations - coordinating background screening, licensing verification, documentation, orientation scheduling and new hire check-ins
- Ensure every new Guardteck team member, hourly and salaried alike, experiences a warm, organized and culture-connected start
- Capture new hire feedback on the on
