Superior customer service is the foundation upon which Options Consulting Solutions was built. We appreciate that our success depends on earning your trust and we work hard to keep it. We sort, sift and dig systematically through our professional networks, industry connections and our customized database of qualified professionals with a single purpose: to uncover top talent that will drive results to your bottom line.

We take pride in acting as an extension of our clients.  Prior to beginning any search requisition, your OCS Consultant, along with a secondary point of contact, will conduct an on-site visit to gain a clear understanding of your specific culture and recruitment needs. This assists us in understanding your organizational structure and the “wow factor” that separates you from your competitors.  When a recruitment mandate is expressed to us, we follow a standardized recruitment process that has facilitated our ability to reduce client costs, increase the speed in which we deliver results while still producing high caliber candidates.

We adhere to our “7 Step Process”:

• Needs Analysis
• Research
• Sourcing and Recruitment
• Assessment
• Presentation and Interview
• Acceptance of Match from Client and Candidate
• Follow-up

We understand how important it is to qualify our candidates and have created a fundamental principle to ensure that our candidates are qualified, motivated and invested in the specific job opportunity you are offering. Based on the original search criteria, candidates will not be submitted to you unless they:

• Have met at least 80% or more of the skills you require
• Are willing to accept an offer in the specified salary range
• Are motivated by more than the monetary value of joining your company

At OCS, we can sympathize with the stress associated with payroll calculations, employment legislation and source deductions. This is why we have designed and are now offering Payroll Services.  As with all of the services we offer, we work to provide a range of solutions that are catered to suit your needs.

We can provide Payroll Services on a weekly, bi-weekly or even monthly basis. Once you have identified employees who will fill temporary or contract vacancies, we place them on our payroll and take care of all the necessary requirements. We work to assist you!

Payroll services are available without requiring a minimum usage, a long-term or exclusive contract.

We offer the following:

• Employee cheques or direct deposits
• Pay statements
• Government remittances
• Deductions and garnishes
• Records of Employment
• Payroll reports for each pay period
• Year-end tax forms and processing (T4s)

Our goal is to make this process as simple as possible for you. You make the selection and we will do the rest!

Contingent Search

A search requisition is undertaken and our fee is due and payable only after a candidate is represented and takes a position with the client.

Engaged Search

As a specialized recruitment service, the engaged search involves a partial payment prior to completing the specified search request.

Retained Search

As a specialized recruitment service, the retained search involves a retainer (up-front fee) required to perform a specific search. A deposit equal to one third (1/3) of the total search fee is due and payable upon initiation of the search request.  Once the candidate(s) are selected for the initial interview, one third (1/3) of the total search fee is payable. The fee balance is then earned and will be invoiced upon the candidate’s date of hire. The OCS Professional Retained search means the client will operate on an exclusive basis with OCS.

OCS is pleased to offer clients our office as a potential meeting facility.
