Recruiting in Calgary vs. Edmonton

Calgary has a distinct, high-growth, entrepreneurial business culture that makes finding a good cultural fit between company and candidate a more critical recruiting factor than in other markets. But, as one of the top cities in Canada for corporate head offices, candidates have more lateral career opportunities in Calgary than elsewhere; a key factor when both recruiting top talent and retaining it. Calgary’s reputation for growth, its active lifestyle options and strong white-collar sectors in areas such as financial and insurance make it a great draw and a good opportunity to utilize our Canada-wide candidate networks.

While Edmonton shares many of those cultural qualities, it’s a very different market to recruit for with its skew more towards public sector environments and northern oil & gas support services. Our expertise in engineering, construction & operations recruitment help our clients find the right balance of technical, project management and people skills to succeed.
