As a provider of top-quality professional employees for temporary, full-time, and contract positions, Allen Professional Search is a leader in the Canadian staffing industry because of our ability to always find the right fit. While similar companies attempt to distinguish themselves through recruitment technologies and marketing strategies, we believe these to be continually changing service features, rather than differentiators. Though we too continually improve our approach to business solutions through technology and marketing, our real substantial differentiating features are verifiable, sustainable, meaningful and unmatched, and include the following:


30 Years of Consistent Ownership, Leadership, Growth and Profitability
Very few Canadian recruitment firms have served their clients for over 30 years. As a large Canadian organization with a long-term outlook and proven track record, we understand that real success comes from operational excellence derived from consistent leadership and direct ownership commitment – ours is simply unmatched in the Canadian marketplace today.


Recruitment Professionals
Our tenured recruitment teams possess the lowest turnover rate in the industry which is directly attributable to working for a stable ISO-certified organization. As a result we have recently earned membership into Canada’s 50 Best Managed Companies Platinum Club, one of this country’s most elite business designations.


Scale and Scope
We operate in 12 Canadian cities, and manage over 3000 contractors on client assignments across Canada.


Commitment to Technological Integration
We recognize that many organizations have a deep commitment to integrated procurement processes and technology, and our back-office systems are designed to interface seamlessly with yours. In addition, our proprietary and customized application tools are all designed for flexibility to integrate with your financial systems, VMS, and e-procurement models.


Business Stability through Diversity of Staffing Services
Operating three separate recruitment divisions that encompass multiple brand names, our parent company Design Group Staffing is capable of offering clients unsurpassed quality that is coupled with the resources, financial security, and relationship confidence that is only available through the country’s largest and most financially credible private recruitment firm.
