What we take on
Using an agency should move risk off your desk rather than add a supplier to manage. These four things become ours instead of yours.
Checks finished before anyone starts
Screening, interview, references and a police check are completed before a candidate is sent, not once they are already on your floor.
Payroll and WSIB liability
Temporary staff are our employees while on assignment. Source deductions, WSIB coverage and remittances stay with us.
Replacing a placement that fails
Tell us once and we take the person off the assignment and keep looking. Chasing the replacement is our job.
Being reachable
The same person handles your account and knows your site. Contracted clients get an on-call number during onboarding.

What we are accountable to
Ontario THA licence THA-0000003470
Temporary help agencies in Ontario must hold a licence under the Employment Standards Act, and clients are barred from knowingly engaging one that does not. Ours is active and listed on the Ministry of Labour public register, so you can check it before you engage us.
Ontario recruiter licence REC-0000005628
A separate ESA licence is required to act as a recruiter, which covers our direct hire and permanent placement work. Also active on the same register.
WSIB Ontario
Temporary staff are covered under our WSIB account from the first shift, so an injury at your site does not land on your claims history.
Employment Standards Act
Hours, overtime, public holidays and termination entitlements are administered by us, to Ontario Ministry of Labour standards.
WHMIS
Hazard communication training for assignments that involve controlled products, completed during onboarding.
AODA
Accessibility standards under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, which apply to every Ontario workplace we staff.
TDG
Transportation of Dangerous Goods certification where a role calls for it.
ACSESS member
The Association of Canadian Search, Employment and Staffing Services, whose members work to a published code of ethics.
Working with ASRA
ASRA works where local businesses need people and people need work. Two sides of the same job, and we are answerable to both.
If you need staff
Most people come to us because someone quit, an order landed that the crew cannot cover, or a shift needs filling by Monday. We send people who can do the work and turn up for it, and when someone does not work out we replace them. You deal with one person here who knows your site, not a ticket queue. Temporary staff stay on our payroll, so WSIB, source deductions and remittances are ours to handle.
If you are looking for work
Tell us what you can do, the area you can travel to and the shifts you can take. We handle the paperwork once instead of repeating it for every placement, and orientation happens before your first day rather than during it. You are on our payroll with WSIB coverage from the first shift. If a placement is not the right fit, say so and we will look for another.
Our Values
- Integrity
- Respect
- Accountability
- Quality
- Dedication
Questions we get asked
The things worth knowing before you hand a shift to an agency you have not used before. If yours is not here, email and ask it directly.
What checks do you run before someone starts?
Screening, a structured interview, reference checks with previous employers, and a background check including a police check. All four are finished before a candidate is sent to you, not after they are on your floor.
This is steps one to four of our seven-step process. The remaining three are onboarding, placement and follow-up.
Who is responsible for payroll and WSIB?
We are. Temporary staff are our employees for as long as they are on assignment with you. Source deductions, WSIB coverage and remittances stay with us.
That means a workplace injury goes through our WSIB account rather than your claims history.
What happens if a placement does not work out?
Tell us and we take the person off the assignment and keep looking. You raise it once; chasing the replacement is our job, not yours.
We also follow up after someone starts, because fit problems usually surface in the first week or two rather than at the exit.
Can we hire a temporary worker permanently?
Yes. That is what temp to hire is for, and it is how a lot of clients prefer to work. You see how someone performs on your own floor before committing to them.
We also place directly into permanent roles if you would rather skip the trial period.
How quickly can you fill a role?
It depends on the role and how much notice we have. A general labour or warehouse shift is faster to cover than a licensed or certified position.
Tell us the start date in your first email and we will say plainly whether we can meet it. We would rather turn down a deadline than miss one.
Which areas do you cover?
Mississauga, Brampton, Toronto, Oakville, Burlington and Hamilton, and the Greater Toronto Area between them.
If you are just outside that, email and ask. It depends on whether we have people who can travel to you.
Do you staff healthcare roles?
Yes, through a separate division. Registered Nurses, Personal Support Workers, Developmental Support Workers, homecare aides and administrative support for long-term care homes, retirement residences and home care providers.
Clinical credentials are verified on top of the standard checks. There is a dedicated page for it.
Talk to us about your next hire
Email is the way to reach us and we answer the same business day. Include the roles, the shift pattern and the start date and we can go straight to candidates.
Looking for work rather than hiring? Send your resume to the same address and tell us the city you can travel to and the shifts you can take.
We place staff across Mississauga, Brampton, Toronto, Oakville, Burlington and Hamilton. Ask if you are outside that area.
