About Casey House

Casey House is a specialty hospital located in downtown Toronto, dedicated to providing groundbreaking care for people living with and at risk of HIV. As the only HIV specialty hospital in Canada, it delivers both inpatient and outpatient services, including unique supervised consumption services within the hospital. Recruitment is a constant focus for Casey House. While they typically hire two or three new employees per month, there are months when this number reaches five or six. Before finding Scout Talent, some of the challenges Casey House experienced included:

“Having that tether between Scout :Onboard and Scout :Recruit to just move our applicants right through the process, having our offer letter templates embedded has really sped up the process.

Before, we’d have to manage reams of email attachments, making sure they got out to the right people. Now everything is contained within a single place that we control who accesses.”

Kinetic Construction recently hired Scout Talent to fill a specialized role for our branch in Richmond.

The requirements were carefully compiled and recorded by Scout represented in both a customized web page and regularly refreshed advertising in several markets.

The applicant tracking system Scout uses was both well explained and easy to use. The candidate rating scheme based on our pre-qualifying questions was both effective and easily updated.

Most of all detailed reference checks and an explicit behavioural assessment and related probing questions was provided for our short-listed candidates.

Thank you Scout Talent for assisting and successfully filling our recruitment needs for a difficult position to fill. Our Company had been recruiting for this position for many months, with several different recruiting agents and it was Scout Talent’s unique campaign approach that resulting in filling this position. Thank you Scout Talent and we look forward to working together with future challenging recruiting campaigns.

Kristen Munro | HR Manager

Scout Talent contacted our HR team about helping with our recruitment needs, and at first, we were a bit skeptical. We were already using a popular job board and monitoring it ourselves with a degree of success. However, we agreed to try Scout’s system, and it has returned incredible results for us! We received a huge volume of quality candidate resumes from multiple job boards, in multiple locations, from our customized job ad (written by a dedicated marketing team!) funneled into one streamlined location. This is something we simply could not have done in-house for the same price, and we definitely didn’t have the time or expertise to do it manually. Highly recommend Megan and her team!

Sandy Heer | HR Manager

Megan was incredibly knowledgeable and intuitive as to what my needs were for placing my job ad in select locations across Canada, and was quick to offer suggestions. She asked all the right questions; and some difficult questions as well, to determine the best angle to target the audience that would be the best fit for not only the job we were recruiting for; but the location the job took place as well. I was supported throughout the campaign and prompted when to make my moves on the suitable applicants. Scout Talent is a user-friendly platform and offers many features in one location. I am satisfied with my decision to use Scout Talent, and have had Megan’s support for my campaign, and for all our applicant tracking.

Adrianna Bakker | Human Resources Business Partner

“We had some of the best candidates come through our campaign with Scout Talent. The level of quality you get with them is truly invaluable. Our candidates were continuously looked after, and when it came to choosing which candidates to bring in to meet, it was so easy to narrow down the best by viewing their video interviews. I highly recommend Scout Talent as they met our needs for our Technical Support roles, without the hefty contingency fees of a traditional recruitment agency. Fraser and Mark are a pleasure to work with and really understand the kind of candidates we were looking for!”

We would definitely use Scout Talent again!

Lenetta Parry | Executive Director

I would highly recommend using this service when filling key positions within a company. I personally do not think I will hire any other way ever again!”

Marie Hunt | Health Director

“My experience with Scout Talent was very good. We received numerous applications for our job listings. The short-listing and pre-interviews were very helpful in terms of relieving me of my workload.
