Client Context
One of Canada’s largest municipal police services regularly hires civilian staff to support operational policing and emergency communications functions.

Challenge
Large recruitment campaigns were required to fill multiple civilian roles while maintaining rigorous screening and background requirements.

HRA’s Role
HR Associates supported multiple high-volume recruitment campaigns for roles including Special Constables, Communications Operators, Court Officers, and other operational positions.

HRA managed candidate sourcing, application screening, assessment coordination, interview logistics, and candidate evaluation processes while working closely with the organization’s internal talent acquisition team.

Impact
The engagement supported hundreds of hires across critical public safety functions while managing large candidate volumes and maintaining a structured and rigorous recruitment process.

Client Context
Ontario Health is responsible for coordinating and improving healthcare delivery across the province.

Challenge
The organization sought to recruit a senior advisor to guide the development of its artificial intelligence strategy and help identify opportunities to apply AI within Ontario’s health system.

HRA’s Role
HR Associates conducted a national search targeting senior leaders in artificial intelligence, health data, and health system innovation. The search required extensive market mapping across healthcare organizations, academic research institutions, and leading AI and data science organizations across Canada.

Given the emerging nature of the field, many potential candidates were not actively seeking new roles. HRA therefore engaged directly with recognized leaders in the AI and digital health community, including innovation leaders within major health organizations, and experts in applied AI across both public and private sectors.

HR Associates managed the full search process including candidate sourcing, screening, interview coordination, reference checks, and advisory support to the client throughout the evaluation and selection process.

Impact
The search successfully identified and secured a candidate with expertise spanning both healthcare and academic research environments, supporting Ontario Health’s efforts to strengthen strategic capacity in artificial intelligence.

Client Context
The Building Ontario Fund was established by the Government of Ontario to attract institutional investment into major infrastructure projects across the province.

Challenge
As a newly created organization, the Fund required rapid recruitment across leadership, professional, and operational roles to build internal capacity and support its launch.

HRA’s Role
HR Associates provided end-to-end recruitment services across a wide range of roles including investment, finance, legal, policy, IT, and corporate operations. The engagement included candidate sourcing, market outreach, screening, interview coordination, and support through final offer negotiation.

The search involved significant candidate engagement across both public and private sector talent pools.

Impact
HR Associates successfully filled over 40 roles supporting the organization’s launch and operational readiness, helping build a multidisciplinary team capable of advancing Ontario’s infrastructure investment strategy.
