When the Right Candidate Isn't Around the Corner
Geography, specialized industries and a limited local candidate pool can make skilled trades recruiting in Newfoundland & Labrador especially challenging.
Look Beyond the Local Applicant Pool
Specialized trades can be difficult to find locally. Rockstar can expand a search regionally or nationally to identify candidates with the experience your operation actually requires.
Relocation Can Open the Market
Newfoundland & Labrador offers a lifestyle and career opportunity that appeals to the right candidate. A strong relocation package can dramatically increase the available talent pool.
Specialized Industries Require Specialized Recruiting
A mining equipment technician, marine mechanic or experienced Truck Technician isn't interchangeable with another mechanic. We target candidates based on the equipment, environment and technical experience required.
Recruit the Leadership Team Too
Rockstar also recruits the Service Managers, Maintenance Managers, Foremen, Supervisors, Parts professionals and other leaders who support skilled trades teams.
Hard Search? That's Why We're Here.
Remote location, specialized equipment or a candidate shortage doesn't mean the position can't be filled. Those are exactly the searches Rockstar was built to take on.
