1) How is Maizis & Miller different from other agencies?
In business since 1988, we are a niche recruiting firm that has developed North America’s largest network of heavy duty truck and heavy equipment mechanics and management related personnel! All of the positions we specialize in are either Heavy Duty Truck or Heavy Equipment related fields with our primary focus on mechanics. We supply these skilled professionals to multiple industries such as oil & gas, agriculture, logistics, transportation, construction and mining. Our niche is supported by a high profile marketing campaign in all major industry publications with additional exposure on hundreds of specialized internet sites. We have dedicated recruiters utilizing the latest technology, and internet recruiting strategies to maximize our network. Our in house sales team continues to secure relationships with top tier employers throughout North America which means a large selection of employment opportunities for the mechanics we represent. We are interested in developing career long relationships with our candidates and our intent is to offer them an unparalleled staffing service that is completely focused on their specific trade. Additionally, we have exposure at all the colleges across Canada that teach the heavy duty truck and heavy equipment journeymen programs. From a mechanic’s point of view, our service is a “no brainer” which can only enhance their career options at no cost to them. They actively participate in keeping us updated pertaining to their career because they know it is in their best interest and not a waste of their time. We have a great deal of expertise in dealing with mechanics, the companies and industries that hire them and understand what a good fit is for both our clients and candidates.
2) We have a HR department so why do we need an agency?
Human Resource departments today cover a lot of ground with respect to their scope of responsibilities which are always growing. These responsibilities can include contract negotiations, benefits, performance reviews, WSIB issues, unions, health and safety, recruiting and many other areas of responsibility. Most HR departments’ method of internal recruiting, when the need arises, is to search their internal database, public databases, run job ads, place internet postings on their company’s web site and wait for suitable candidates to apply. This is considered passive recruiting which is a strategy that generally produces (to quote Steve Finkle) “the best of the unemployed, best of the unhappy and best of the unqualified!” Let’s remember how easy it is to send out a resume today. I think sometimes that many candidates think it is a lottery and not a job when I look at resumes we have received over the years that have no relevance to the position applied for. Before e-mail came into the mainstream, to apply for a position, people had to type out a resume, lick a stamp and go down to the mailbox. Now it is just so easy to “copy, paste and send”. Recruiting, in its essence, is contacting top talent who are typically employed professionals not actively looking for work. These top tier candidates are interested when approached by a professional recruiting firm, although it is imperative that they respect the firm that approaches them about a potential opportunity or the call could be quite frosty. Most, if not all HR departments just don’t have the time and or resources to actively work a network within a specific niche. Even if they could all they can ever offer is job opportunities at one company. If your organization requires a specialist search firm and that specialty is heavy duty truck and heavy equipment mechanics or management related positions then that is where Maizis & Miller comes to the forefront. Our recruiters actively network exclusively with mechanics on a full time basis. They have developed positive relationships with thousands of mechanics who see the value of the service we offer them and who are very receptive to communications.

6) How can you guarantee that the candidate will work out? We understand that it can be extremely frustrating having to replace a candidate on your own. We carry a 100% replacement (the standard is three months) guarantee. What this means is you will have a three month evaluation period and if the candidate does not work out within the first three months, we immediately look for new qualified candidates. Considering our wealth of resources and candidates, and our 100% success rate you can rest assured that your investment in finding top talent is secure. You will not be left in the wind as you may with some employers who claim to have a replacement warranty, but lack the resources to find any qualified candidates in a timely manner.
7) How long does it take for you to find me a candidate? We normally are able to fill orders by or before the third week.
