HR & Talent Acquisition Partner – Alberta
FOUNDING ROLE
Avizia RH · Calgary, AB · Hybrid · Permanent
Build the Alberta division of a recruitment firm that doesn't work like the others!
Most recruitment jobs hand you a desk, a quota and a process someone else designed. This one hands you a province and endless possibilities.
Avizia RH is a Quebec-based HR and recruitment firm serving construction, manufacturing and industrial employers. We don't charge per placement, Our clients pay a fixed monthly fee for unlimited recruitment and HR support, and we work as an extension of their team - not as a vendor.
That model has worked greatly in Quebec and we're now bringing it to Alberta, and we're hiring the person who will deliver it on the ground.
You'll be the first HR & Talent Acquisition Partner in the province, working alongside our Alberta business development lead and the full Quebec delivery team. You'll own the client relationships in your portfolio, run their recruitment end-to-end, advise them on HR matters, and shape how Avizia operates in the West. As the division grows, so will your role.
What you'll do
- Act as the dedicated HR and recruitment partner for a portfolio of Alberta clients (construction, energy, manufacturing)
- Run full-cycle recruitment for trades, technical, supervisory and management roles: intake, sourcing, headhunting, screening, interviews, offers
- Advise clients on HR fundamentals: job descriptions, compensation positioning, onboarding, retention, employment standards
- Build and maintain a strong Alberta talent pipeline using our ATS, LinkedIn Recruiter and direct sourcing
- Partner with our business development lead on discovery calls, client onboarding and service delivery
- Work with the Quebec team to adapt our tools, processes and playbooks to the Alberta market
- Track and report on portfolio activity, time-to-fill and client satisfaction
What we're looking for
- Minimum 5+ years in recruitment and/or HR generalist work, ideally in construction, industrial, energy or manufacturing environments; agency and in-house backgrounds both welcome
- Proven ability to fill hard-to-fill roles through direct sourcing, not just job postings
- Comfortable owning client relationships and having candid conversations with owners and site managers
- Entrepreneurial: you want to build something, not inherit a desk
- Solid working knowledge of Alberta employment standards
- CPHR designation or in progress is an asset
- French is an asset (you'll collaborate daily with a francophone team, but client work is in English). Our team speaks in english too.
- Based in Calgary and valid driver's licence (ponctual client site visits)
What we offer
- Salary depending on experience
- Group insurance after 3 months
- Mileage allowance for client visits
- Laptop, phone, software and corporate apparel provided
- Hybrid schedule - 50% home and office
- A founding seat: real influence on how the Alberta division is built
- Direct access to the partners and a great Quebec founding team that has done this before and can assist you.
We're not testing an idea in Alberta. We're replicating something that works, and we're committing the people, tools and time to make it work here. What we can't replicate from Quebec is the person on the ground who treats this division as their own.
The person who takes this seat and invests in it will grow with the division - in scope, in responsibility, in title, and in how they're rewarded. We've built our firm on people who bet on us early, This is the next one.
