Why Project Managers Partner with GHRC
Ticket Verification
We don't take a candidate's word for it. We collect and verify physical copies of Red Seal certifications and Skilled Trades Ontario memberships to ensure compliance on your job site.
Tooling Clarity
Miscommunication about tools causes delays. We clarify the "Tool List" with every candidate—ensuring they arrive with their own hand tools, belt, and proper PPE, ready to work immediately.
Shutdown Support
Planned maintenance shutdowns are high-pressure. We can deploy teams of tradespeople for short-term, intensive coverage (nights/weekends) to get your plant back online on schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you supply candidates with their own tools?
Yes. Standard practice is for skilled tradespeople to arrive with their own basic hand tools and tool belt. For specialized power tools, heavy equipment, or consumables, we expect the client to provide them. We clarify this “Tool List” with every candidate before deployment.
How do you verify trade licenses?
We require physical copies of the Skilled Trades Ontario (formerly OCOT) membership or Red Seal certification. We also verify safety tickets (Working at Heights, Confined Space, WHMIS) to ensure they are valid and not expired.
Can you staff a plant shutdown or turnaround?
Yes. We have extensive experience staffing maintenance shutdowns. We can build a roster of Millwrights and Electricians specifically for short-term, high-intensity projects, including weekend and overnight shifts.
Do you supply Apprentices or just Journeypersons?
We can supply both. If you have the ratio capacity to supervise Apprentices, we can provide eager 3rd or 4th-year apprentices at a lower bill rate. If you need independent workers, we supply fully ticketed Journeypersons.
Are your tradespeople covered by WSIB?
Yes. As the employer of record, GHRC handles all WSIB premiums, payroll taxes, and liability insurance. Not only does GHRC cover the risk expense with WSIB injuries, but our client’s WSIB class rate is never affected.
