Inside the Coquitlam construction staffing market
Coquitlam is a market of about 150,000 people, with Coquitlam employers in logistics, hospitality, and construction hiring steadily. The people we place come from Coquitlam and the towns around it, including Highlands, Brookside, Maple Grove.
Employers here compete on pay and on how fast they move, so a slow hiring process loses good people. We keep a screened bench warm so we are not starting from zero when you call.
For pay, the British Columbia minimum wage is $17.85, and we build rates that meet or beat what local employers actually pay to keep their teams. Source: U.S. Department of Labor.
Our construction staffing process in Coquitlam
The process is simple and it does not waste your time. We get the construction staffing role on paper first, the duties, the schedule, the rate, and the deal breakers.
From there we work our screened bench, check history and credentials, and bring you a short list of people who fit. You interview, and we close the offer and run onboarding so nothing slips.
Temporary, temp to hire, or direct hire
You can bring people on three ways in Coquitlam. Temporary covers short term, seasonal, and surge needs, and we run payroll, taxes, and workers compensation while they are on assignment.
Temp to hire lets you try someone on the job before you commit, then convert them to your payroll. Direct hire adds them to your team from day one.
Most Coquitlam employers use a mix across the year, and we help you pick the option that fits each role and your budget.
