01

Explore

Discover what drives your company.

We start in person to understand your operations, culture, and goals. By listening first, we build the foundation for a search strategy that directly supports your growth and eliminates the guesswork (and wasted recruiting dollars) common in transactional hiring.

02

Define

Design the role and the match.

Together we define the ideal candidate profile — skills, mindset, and values. Our detailed scoring framework ensures alignment with your goals, culture, and long-term success metrics.

This is the stage where precision pays off — it’s one of the key reasons 96% of our placements remain employed beyond their first year, far exceeding industry averages and saving clients thousands in turnover and retraining costs.

03

Engage

Source strategically. Tell your story.

We attract the candidates others miss. Through targeted outreach and compelling storytelling, we connect you with professionals who align not just on paper but in purpose — strengthening engagement and long-term performance from day one.

04

Evaluate

Assess for skill, mindset, and fit.

Our rigorous screening eliminates 90–95 % of applicants before they reach you. Each shortlisted candidate is vetted through structured interviews, technical checks, and cultural fit analysis — saving your leadership team hours per hire and ensuring only proven performers move forward.

05

Grow

Support beyond the hire.

Our partnership continues post-placement. We conduct onboarding check-ins, retention tracking, and mentorship guidance that sustain long-term success — ensuring your investment keeps paying dividends year after year.

He’s become a trusted partner for our team

“We’ve been working with Dustin for a year now, and he’s already made a significant impact on our hiring. He helped us secure both a Site Supervisor and an Estimator — roles we had struggled to fill effectively in the past. Dustin understands the construction industry, moves quickly, and brings forward candidates who truly fit our culture and expectations. He’s become a trusted partner for our team.”

Construction Manager
General Contractor
Strategic, professional, and understands our business extremely well

“We’ve partnered with Dustin for several years, and we’ve continued that relationship through Kellow Recruiting because the results speak for themselves. He previously helped us hire a Millwright, a Financial Controller, and a Production Supervisor — all strong long-term contributors. Most recently, we needed an Electrician with automation experience, a role we had struggled to fill. Dustin sourced qualified candidates within two weeks and we had an accepted offer by week three. He is strategic, professional, and understands our business extremely well. Highly recommended.”

Senior Leader
Manufacturing Company
Transformed the way we hire HVAC techs

“We’ve partnered with Dustin for over a year now, and he’s transformed the way we hire HVAC techs. What used to take months (and cost us a lot in downtime) is now a smooth and reliable process. The technicians he’s placed fit our culture, perform well, and contribute from day one.”

Owner
HVAC/R Company
The long-term value we’ve gained from that single placement is tremendous

“Working with Dustin has been a huge win for us. He recruited an Operations Manager in a very short timeline, and that hire has now progressed to our Director of Operations for all of Canada. The long-term value we’ve gained from that single placement is tremendous — this is exactly why we keep coming back to Dustin.”
