Three ways to work with us

Two models to hire. A third to get hired.

Whether you have a mandate to fill, a pipeline to maintain, or a profile to present — we have the right approach.

Permanent Placement

One mandate. The right profile. Once.

You have a critical role to fill — often one where a bad hire costs 6 months of productivity and half a million in missed opportunity. We don't drown you in 30 résumés. We present 3 to 5 serious candidates, pre-qualified on skills AND culture, and stay with you until the offer is signed.

You only pay if you hire. No surprises, ever.

  • Active search + passive headhunting on the hidden network
  • Pre-qualification on skills and culture
  • Shortlist of 3 to 5 serious candidates
  • Process coordination through offer acceptance
  • Free replacement guarantee
Fee on successful hire. Quoted upfront.

Choose this if:

  • — Single open mandate right now
  • — Rare profile or confidential search
  • — No recurring commitment needed

TPAAS — Talent Pipeline as a Service

Your talent bench, always warm.

If you hire 4+ times a year for similar profiles, the per-placement model bleeds you twice: in placement fees (20–30% of salary on every hire) and in lost time (2–3 months of cold sourcing every time).

TPAAS flips the model. A monthly retainer, and we continuously maintain a calibrated bench of 10–25 candidates per role type. When a role opens at your company, we don't start over — your shortlist is ready in 48–72 hours.

Typical savings

5 hires a year at $25,000 in fees each = $125,000. TPAAS for equivalent volume: about $60,000 per year. You keep ≈ $65,000 AND you hire 5x faster.

  • Monthly calibration with your hiring manager
  • Warm bench of 10–25 candidates per role type
  • First shortlist in 48–72h when the role opens
  • Quarterly market report (compensation, movements, signals)
  • CEO involved in calibration
Monthly retainer sized to your volume. 6 or 12 month commitment.

Choose this if:

  • — You hire 4+ times per year
  • — Recurring profiles (dev, finance, sales, ops)
  • — Time-to-fill is costing you real money each quarter

Why Groupe Sentinella

Recruitment, done seriously.

Four things that set us apart — and that change your hiring outcomes.

Quebec-anchored

We know the firms, the movements, the strong profiles. Not American scrapers guessing from afar.

Computer Science background

Our CEO is a CS grad. We evaluate a developer, an architect, or a CTO without needing a translator.

AI-augmented sourcing

We use AI to find faster and calibrate sharper. Final judgment stays human.

CEO on every mandate

No junior recruiter who hands off. You speak to the decision-maker who calibrates your search.

Tools that give you a real number.

Calculators and checkers for companies and candidates. Built to answer the concrete decisions you make every quarter — not to sell you.
