Start a search Who we recruit

Nurse and medical office administrator working at a clinic front desk

Our office sits in the Steeles and Alness business area, just west of Dufferin Street and south of Steeles Avenue West, among the industrial and commercial units along Alness Street, Chesswood Drive and Supertest Road. That means North York employers can sit down with us face to face without giving up half a day. From here we recruit for clinics around Sheppard and Leslie, professional offices near Yonge and Sheppard, academic and research settings near York University, and the small and mid-sized businesses that share our own street.

North York is really several hiring markets packed close together. A nursing unit on Bayview Avenue, a property management firm near the North York Civic Centre and an engineering shop in Downsview each need very different people, and they often compete with one another for the strongest candidates. We begin every search by learning what makes your workplace distinct, then look for people whose experience, credentials and daily commute genuinely fit it, rather than forwarding a stack of résumés for you to sort.

Offices at Yonge and Sheppard

The North York City Centre stretch of Yonge Street, from just south of Sheppard up to Finch, holds office towers, the North York Civic Centre and a federal government building, served by Sheppard–Yonge, North York Centre and Finch stations. Tenants here hire executive assistants, accountants, payroll and HR staff, and expect people who can work in a busy corporate office from their first week.

Consumers Road and Don Mills

The Consumers Road Business Park, near Sheppard Avenue East and Victoria Park Avenue, is recognized by the City for its city-wide role as a place of employment, and Don Mills was planned from the outset to put workplaces beside homes. Employers in both areas ask for software developers, IT support and sales teams, and the Sheppard subway line ends at Don Mills station close by.

Aerospace, engineering and light industry

Downsview's aircraft-building history continues at Centennial College's aerospace campus in Downsview Park, and the University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies is in the northern part of Bathurst Manor. Around our own office, the industrial-commercial units of the Steeles and Alness area house businesses that hire mechanical engineers, quality staff and supply chain coordinators as they grow.

Working with Finch from our North York office

Because we are in North York ourselves, an in-person consultation is simple to arrange. You can visit us by appointment, Monday to Friday between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., or we can come to you, whether that is a nursing unit off Sheppard Avenue, a suite near Yonge and Finch or a shop floor in Downsview. Seeing your workplace helps us describe it honestly to candidates, from parking and shift patterns to the team they would be joining.

Once the consultation is done and the retainer is in place, we advertise the role and approach people directly, including North York residents who would rather stop commuting downtown. We check how each candidate would get to you, since a site near Finch West station, where Line 1 meets Line 6, draws a different pool from a business park best reached by car. Your shortlist arrives with our screening notes, we book the interviews, and we follow up after your new hire starts.

Recruiting in North York: common questions

Is Finch an employment agency?

No. Finch Employment is a recruitment agency. Employers retain us to advertise for, find and screen candidates for a specific position, and the fee is agreed with the employer for each role. Candidates never pay us anything. Our work for you is finished when the right person has been hired and has settled in, and we check in after their start date.

Can we meet at your office near Dufferin and Steeles?

Yes. We are at 920 Alness St., Unit 208, a short distance south of Steeles Avenue West and just west of Dufferin Street. Visits are by appointment on weekdays between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., so please call 416-551-6111 before coming by. If it suits you better, we can meet at your North York workplace or begin with a video call.

Do you recruit for North York hospitals and clinics?

Yes. We recruit nurses, nurse practitioners, physiotherapists and clinic support staff for health care employers across North York, from the Sheppard and Leslie area to Bathurst Street and Wilson Avenue. Before anyone reaches your shortlist, we confirm their registration on the public register of the College of Nurses of Ontario or the College of Physiotherapists of Ontario, as the role requires.
