FAQ
Questions, answered.
Quick answers for employers and job seekers. Can’t find what you need? Contact us.
How quickly can you provide workers?
It depends on the role, location and number of people. General labour and warehouse roles can often be filled quickly; skilled and specialized positions take longer to recruit properly. Tell us your start date when you submit a request and we will give you a realistic timeline.
How are candidates screened?
Candidates are screened against the requirements you give us — typically experience, relevant qualifications or certifications, availability and location. If your role needs additional checks, tell us and we will discuss what is appropriate and lawful for the position.
Do I have to pay to find work through City Employment?
No. City Employment does not charge job seekers a fee to be registered, referred or placed in a job. If anyone asks you for money in our name, please contact us.
Do I need a resume to apply?
A resume helps us match you faster, but it is not required. You can submit an application with your experience and availability and a recruiter will follow up.
Do you work with businesses outside Ontario?
Yes. We support employers across Canada. Territories are served on request — contact us to discuss your location.
