Construction site in Ottawa with crew and project manager
Construction Recruiter — Ottawa

The construction recruiter Ottawa builders actually call back.

Weld Talent is a specialist construction recruiter based in Ottawa. We work only in the trades — no finance, no tech, no retail — so the candidates we send are vetted for real construction work.

Ottawa & Eastern Ontario

From Kanata tech-park builds to ICI projects in Vanier, residential infill in the Glebe, and infrastructure work across the National Capital Region — we know the Ottawa construction landscape and the people who staff it.

Roles we recruit for
Skilled trades (carpenters, electricians, plumbers, welders)
General labourers — entry-level welcome
Foremen and lead hands
Site superintendents
Project managers
Estimators
Project coordinators
Health & safety officers
Why work with us
Ottawa-based, Ottawa-focused
We're local. We meet candidates in person, we know the GCs you compete with, and we understand the wage expectations in this market.
Specialist, not generalist
Construction is all we do. We can read a resume and tell you whether someone has actually run a tilt-up wall versus just listed it as a skill.
Pre-screened candidates only
Every candidate is interviewed and reference-checked. You only see people who match the role.
Contingency-based
You pay only when we successfully place someone, with a 30-day replacement guarantee. No retainers, no upfront fees.
Local context

Ottawa's construction market is tight — qualified tradespeople and supervisors are in short supply, and posting on a job board rarely gets you to the right person. We maintain a working network of trades and supervisors across Ottawa, Gatineau, and the surrounding counties, so we can move quickly when you have an opening.
