Colouring Inside The Lines For Maximum Success​

At Venters Recruits, we specialize in Industrial, Construction, and HVAC sectors, with a particular focus on Sales and Management roles. We stay within our expertise to ensure we deliver the best results for you. If a role falls outside our niche, we’ll be upfront and let you know. We’re not generalists—we’re specialists. That means you can expect candidates with proven track records, perfectly suited to your needs.

Venters Guarantees

Recruiting often gets a bad rap, and sometimes it’s deserved. At Venters, we’re committed to going above and beyond, adhering to strong core values to deliver the best results. We operate with the highest ethical standards to ensure your experience is both successful and trustworthy.

Clients Are Never Sources​

Ethics Matter

It should go without saying, but unfortunately, it’s not always the case in recruiting. At Venters Recruits, we guarantee that we will never recruit from our active clients—a clause that’s been in every contract since 2012. You can trust us to always operate with integrity, never playing games or engaging in unethical practices.

No Cost Criminal Background Checks​

Trust but Verify​

We provide Criminal Background checks at no additional cost before any offers are made. This ensures you build your team with the right people, setting the foundation for sustainable growth.

True Partnership​

Teamwork Makes the Dreamwork​

At Venters Recruits, we collaborate closely with Hiring Managers and HR to find the right candidate. We believe in working together, not creating an adversarial relationship, to ensure the best outcome for everyone involved.

No Questions Asked Guarantee​

The Costco Warranty​

At Venters, we offer an industry-leading warranty with every placement, with no restrictions. If the first candidate isn’t the right fit, we’ll make it right. Replacements are our top priority, and we proudly maintain a 100% success rate in fulfilling warranties.
