- What
happens after I send my resume to CanMed?
When we receive your resume, your key information is entered into
our data bank. As we regularly have new positions to fill, we use
the information stored in our data bank to screen for appropriate
candidates. Once selected, the potential candidate is interviewed
by one of our consultants. Additionally, we actively promote prospective
candidates who do not necessarily meet the requirements of any of
our current positions, but who we believe have unique skills or qualities
which are in demand.

I (a jobseeker) have to pay for the service?

The most effective approach would be to call our office and describe
your "needs" as clearly and succinctly as possible. This would allow
us the opportunity to present several options to achieve your objective.
For instance, depending on your needs we may recommend the project
to be handled as an Executive Search assignment, Contingency Search
Project, or under our Contract Employee Program. At the same time
we can give you information related to fees, anticipated length of
time for the search, and other terms or conditions. Please call us
