At iLink Global Recruiting, we specialize in helping Canadian companies find hard-to-source talent — and our recent placements for a leading HVAC manufacturing company in London, Ontario are a perfect example of what we do best.
This long-established firm was facing challenges in filling two mission-critical roles: a Procurement Specialist and a Sales and Application Engineer. Despite multiple job advertisements and internal referrals, the positions remained open for months — slowing down operations and affecting growth targets.
That’s when they turned to iLink Global Recruiting.
✅ Placement #1: Procurement Specialist
This role had been vacant for nearly four months before the company sought our assistance. The ideal candidate needed not only procurement experience in manufacturing but also a strong understanding of HVAC industry components, vendor negotiation, and just-in-time purchasing systems.
Our team conducted a targeted search across Ontario and Western Canada and delivered a shortlist of three strong candidates within three weeks. The final hire — a highly experienced procurement professional with industry-specific knowledge — has now joined the team and is already making a measurable impact on cost efficiency and supplier relationships.
✅ Placement #2: Sales and Application Engineer
This position had even more unique requirements: a technical background in engineering, sales experience in industrial systems, and the ability to translate client specs into practical HVAC solutions. The company had struggled to find anyone with the right blend of skills and personality for over six months.
Through our contingent recruitment service, we scouted and screened both local and international candidates and ultimately placed an engineer with extensive HVAC experience and a proven track record in technical sales. The client is thrilled — and so is the candidate, who sees this as a long-term opportunity to grow with the company.
Why Clients Choose iLink Global Recruiting
Both of these roles were filled through our contingent recruitment model — meaning the client paid only upon successful placement. This flexible approach works well for companies that are open to evaluating candidates without committing upfront.
But for companies needing deeper market penetration or highly specialized talent, we also offer retained search services, which give your hiring needs top priority and dedicated resources from our team.
No matter the model, we offer a 3-month replacement guarantee. If a candidate doesn’t work out within the initial period, we’ll find a replacement — at no extra charge.
