Why Recruiting With FHB

Bad hires are expensive, good ones are everything

It’s not just the termination and re-hiring costs — it’s the lost productivity, the team morale hit, and the months you spent training someone who was never the right fit.

We’ve placed over one thousand candidates across every level, and we deliver a high level of service for a lower fee than the industry standard. You get the right person without paying an arm and a leg to find them.

Why Our Placements Stick

We find people who fit, not just candidates who look good on paper

Most recruiting firms blast job postings and send you a stack of resumes. We get to know your business first — your culture, your team dynamics, what’s worked before and what hasn’t. We’ll create or update your job description, source candidates you didn’t know existed, build custom tests, and even run a behind-the-scenes social media and due diligence check. Then we bring you only the candidates who are actually worth your time.

Executive and leadership recruiting

Executive & Leadership

CEOs, CFOs, directors, and senior managers — the hires that shape your company’s future. Searches handled with discretion and a deep read on culture fit.

Professional and technical recruiting

Professional & Technical

Accountants, engineers, project managers, and specialists — the people who keep your operations running and your standards high.

Entry level recruiting

Entry Level

Administrative, customer service, and junior positions. High volume never means low standards — every candidate is vetted the same way.

What’s Included

Full-cycle recruiting, handled end to end

We manage the whole process so your team stays focused on running the business.

Job Description & Scoping

We create or sharpen your job description so you attract the right people and screen out the wrong ones from the start.

Active Sourcing

We go beyond job boards to find passive candidates you’d never reach through a posting alone.

Custom Candidate Testing

Role-specific assessments built to measure the skills and traits that actually predict success in the seat.

Due Diligence & Screening

Behind-the-scenes social media review and background checks so there are no surprises after the offer.

Interview Support

We help structure interviews and sit in where it helps, so your team evaluates candidates consistently and fairly.

Reference Checks

Thorough, structured reference conversations — not a box-ticking phone call — before you commit.

Offer & Onboarding Support

We help you land the offer and start the new hire off right, so the transition actually holds.

Lower Fees Than Standard

A high level of service at a fee well below the typical recruiter cut — one of the first things clients notice.

Traditional recruiters charge up to thirty percent of first-year salary.

We don’t believe you should have to pay an arm and a leg to find great talent. Ask us about our fees — it’s one of the first things clients notice.

Who This Is For

Our recruiting works best for business owners who care more about the right fit than the fastest resume.

A fit if…

  • A bad hire would cost you real money, time, or team morale
  • You’re filling a leadership, technical, or hard-to-source role
  • You want candidates vetted for culture fit, not just keywords on a resume
  • You’re tired of paying 20–30% recruiter fees for mixed results
  • You’re hiring in Winnipeg or anywhere across Canada

Maybe not the right fit if…

  • You just need a job posting pushed live with no screening
  • You want the cheapest possible resume volume regardless of quality
  • You’re not ready to make a hire in the foreseeable future
Recruiting FAQ

Common questions, answered straight

How much does your recruiting cost?
Traditional recruiters often charge up to thirty percent of a hire’s first-year salary. We don’t believe you should have to pay an arm and a leg to find great talent, so our fees sit well below that industry standard — it’s one of the first things clients notice. We’ll give you a clear, specific quote based on the role before any work begins.
What types of roles do you recruit for?
Every level. Executive and leadership roles — CEOs, CFOs, directors, and senior managers that shape your company’s future. Professional and technical roles like accountants, engineers, project managers, and specialists. And entry-level positions across administration and customer service. High volume never means lower standards.
How is FHB different from a typical recruiter?
Most recruiting firms blast job postings and send you a stack of resumes. We get to know your business first — your culture, your team dynamics, what’s worked before and what hasn’t — then go find people who actually fit. We create or update the job description, source candidates you didn’t know existed, build custom tests, and run a behind-the-scenes social media and due diligence check before you ever meet them.
Do your placements come with any assurance they’ll stick?
Our candidate retention rate is 98%. That number comes from doing the work upfront — understanding the role, testing for fit, and vetting thoroughly — rather than rushing a warm body into the seat. We stand behind the people we place and stay available after the hire to help the transition succeed.
How long does it take to fill a role?
It depends on the seniority and how specialized the role is — a senior leadership search takes longer than a high-volume entry-level hire. We move quickly without cutting corners, and we’ll give you a realistic timeline at the outset so you can plan around it. Speed never comes at the expense of finding the right person.
Do you recruit outside Winnipeg?
Yes. We’re based in Winnipeg and know the local market deeply, but we place candidates for clients across Canada — including remote and hybrid roles. Wherever the right person is, we’ll help you find them.
