What We Do
The foundation of Tal-Cap’s success is built on partnership. We deliver results in virtually every market - small, large, remote or talent-short – by maximizing knowledge transfer from our clients, researching competitors and similar companies, and developing an effective screening and qualification process.
Our solutions are provided through a Recruitment Process Engagement (RPE). Tal-Cap provides the leadership and support that will meet any need – and we do much of it the old-fashioned way – direct “head-hunting”. Whether it’s top-grading or “right-sizing” exercises, mergers, or a confidential search, we’ll deliver the talent you’re looking for.
Success Stories
Electrical/Electronics Manufacturing
Challenge: A top 5 global leader was looking to build product management strength in their Western Canadian Business Unit HQ - but was having difficulty finding the right Director-level leader to drive the product management group. With no direct local competitors to draw upon, and a limited Canadian HR presence, they were unable to attract the right skills and cultural fit for their organization.
Solution: Working with key client stakeholders, Tal-Cap identified companies with similar functions and skills that were not product specific. We then mapped out the industry to identify competitors and looked at local companies that might provide a complementary skillset. This rigorous approach to process and continuous engagement led to subsequent RPE successes that included a Global Product Manager, Project Manager, and VP of HR.
Aviation Services Company
Challenge: A world leading Aviation Services company headquartered in the Greater Vancouver Area was acquired by a Private Equity group and the company was undergoing “right sizing” initiatives. With the changes they needed to upgrade their supply chain team and bring in a seasoned supply chain leader with a track record of success driving positive change, process improvement, and real time inventory management in a multi-site global organization.
Solution: Tal-Cap worked closely with key stakeholders and defined the role, performance criteria, and fit and realized that there were no viable local candidates with the right mix of experience and a track record of aviation-related success. The RPE Team targeted key Global competitors and through professional “headhunting”, resulted in the successful hiring of a candidate from a large US-based competitor.
Providing further assistance to the right-sizing initiative, Tal-Cap quarterbacked and filled searches for 6 additional key positions.

Tal-Cap’s Trades Group provides recruitment solutions to companies with a substantial Trades workforce component – both union and non-union. Examples include:
- HVAC/R Technicians
- Electricians
- Pipefitters
- Plumbers
- Millwrights
- Powerline Technicians
- Welders
- Stationary Engineers
- Motor Technicians ...and others
Our Trades Group partnership will often include leadership and support related positions – foremen, Superintendents, Service Managers, dispatch Supervisors, and others. A Trades Group partnership can expand and contract with seasonal requirements and economic fluctuations and we’ve effectively done so with as few as 4 to as many as 60 annual hires.
Success Stories
Multi-Trade Services Company
Challenge: Among Canada’s top Facilities Services companies, our client’s challenges included a nationally distributed workforce of over 1000 workers with 8 different union and non-union trades, project-based “just in time” hiring requirements, and an excessive cost-per-hire.
Solution: Tal-Cap’s solution involved an on-site presence – fully-integrated with Senior Management and HR, the provision of a coast-to-coast, full-service recruitment team, and among other innovations, the development of a new candidate input stream in the form of multiple Trade-centric websites (www.jobs4skilledtrades.ca). Tal-Cap’s full-function Recruitment Process Partnership (RPP) program is enjoying its sixth successful year.

Director, Gas & Energy Services Company
We specialize in the recruitment of legal and compliance professionals for permanent jobs. We recruit for companies of all sizes, ranging from local to regional law firms and privately owned businesses.
We use a combination of direct search, networking, advertising, and database selection. Contrary to the majority of other legal recruitment agencies, we use direct search because we understand that some of the greatest candidates are not necessarily searching for work right now or are not already in a database and need to be actively sought out.
We are looking at the long term. We invest the time up front to make sure there is a perfect “fit” for our client-partners and our candidate-partners.
We do it right the first time, saving you time, money, and effort.
