About

Construction recruitment, done with aplomb.

Aplomb is a permanent placement agency specialized in construction in Québec. We exist because contractors deserve better than firms that ghost and play hide-and-seek.

Why "Aplomb"

One word, two meanings. Both define us.

The plumb line

A wall that's plumb is a wall that's perfectly straight — the foundation of any good build. We do it straight: solid work, carded profiles, commitments kept.

Having aplomb

Keeping your cool under pressure. Responding fast and level-headed. Even when the job site is on fire, we stay calm — and we deliver.

We focus on one thing only: finding CCQ-carded tradespeople for construction SMBs in Québec — the 10-to-150-employee shops that big generalist firms often serve poorly. We know the trade from the inside: the competency cards, the sectors, the reality of the jobsite, the labour shortage that hurts.

Our angle

The opposite of opaque firms.

We respond before anyone else. We play it straight. The guarantee is in writing. That's it — and it changes everything.

The edge

Powered by Audrey.

In the trades, good candidates don't shop around: they answer whoever writes to them first. Audrey texts candidates the instant they raise their hand — in under 2 minutes, 24 hours a day — leads a natural conversation, and qualifies the profile. That's our edge, and it's tangible.

  • Response in under 2 minutes, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
  • Natural conversation, warm tone, never robotic.
  • Consent and privacy respected (Law 25, CASL). STOP option anytime.
