Job hunting in Winnipeg can feel like digging through a junk drawer; everything is there, but finding the right fit takes forever! One wrong hire or missed opportunity can waste weeks of time and energy.

Thankfully, the city has staffing teams that make the search much easier. From career moves to company hiring needs, these recruitment agencies know the local market and can connect you with the best people faster.

1. Robert Half Recruiters & Employment Agency

Website: https://www.roberthalf.com/ca/

Address: 201 Portage Ave Office 1814 & 1816

Contact: Phone (204) 944-2777 | 218.614.0951

Hours: Mon to Fri 8 a.m.–5 p.m.

Finding the right candidate can feel like sorting through a mountain of resumes, but Robert Half Recruiters & Employment Agency makes the search much sharper with human recruiters and advanced AI matching.

They support local companies by narrowing down skill gaps, hiring budgets, and applicant fit without the usual back-and-forth. 

A hiring manager I spoke with said their niche speciality makes a real difference, especially when looking for hard-to-find talent.

What I like most here is their strong corporate focus. They cover areas like finance and tech, with both temporary and full-time options.

They also share salary guides, giving companies a clearer view of competitive compensation.

The only downside is their limited scope. They handle professional office roles, so industrial hiring needs are better handled elsewhere.

We had a very smooth and excellent process with Stephanie

Robert Half Agency is the top of recruiting services ever. We had a most smooth and excellent process with Stephanie. She did great job and found my dream job in a short time. I highly recommend Robert Half to have a stress free job seeking journey.

I received prompt and attentive assistance

Robert Half exceeded my expectations in every aspect of the recruiting process. From the moment I dropped off my resume, I received prompt and attentive assistance. Stephanie, in particular, was instrumental in guiding me through every step, from securing a contract position to ultimately landing my dream permanent role. Her rapid responses, consistent updates, and unwavering support were invaluable. I highly recommend Robert Half, especially if you’re looking for a dedicated team to help navigate your career journey.

2. Staffmax Staffing & Recruiting

Website: https://www.staffmax.ca/

Address: 206-1661 Portage Ave.

Contact: 204-956-7090 | Fax 204-956-7411 | [email protected]

Hours: Mon to Fri 8 a.m.–4:30 p.m.

Businesses dealing with sudden staffing gaps will like how quickly this agency can respond. 

Staffmax Staffing & Recruiting offers same-day or next-day candidates for short-term roles, which helps keep daily operations moving when someone calls out or a vacancy pops up.

A big part of their appeal is the extra HR support. They don’t just send applicants; they can also handle reference checks, background screenings, payroll, and employee scheduling for you through their concierge and PEO services.

I also like that their recruitment scope is broad. They cover admin roles, skilled trades, and other workplace needs, so they’re useful for different teams.

That said, the process isn’t fully instant. You still need to submit a staffing request and wait for a recruiter to follow up.

Easy and pleasant to communicate with

I would like to thank StaffMax Staffing & Recruiting for a very positive work experience. Special thanks to Kam Borkar — he was easy and pleasant to communicate with, always clear, helpful, and supportive. Employees like him truly reflect the company’s values and attitude toward people. I had a great overall experience with StaffMax and would confidently recommend the company to others.

3. Pinnacle

Website: https://www.pinnacle.jobs/

Address: 2nd Floor – 394 Graham Avenue

Contact: (204) 943-8649

Hours: Mon to Fri 6 a.m.–3:30 p.m.

Pinnacle stands out for their focused recruitment setup, especially for employers that want support in a niche field.

Their team is split into five specialized divisions, including executive search and accounting recruitment. That means you’re not dealing with a general recruiter but someone who understands your industry and hiring needs.

I like that their consultation process goes beyond the usual job description. When I tried it, they took time to understand the workplace culture, team dynamics, and the kind of person who would actually fit.

They also offer flexible hiring options, including temporary and contract roles. Their direct-hire team can even reach passive candidates already working for competitors.

Still, there’s one trade-off. Their Manitoba focus may feel too narrow for firms planning a national talent search.

I have had a great experience working with Pinnacle 

I have had a great experience working with pinnacle recruiting company. They have helped me to get a wonderful job. I am really thankful to pinnacle recruiting company especially Ashlie Strum, she is such a nice person and very helpful and every time I contact her,  she responses immediately.  Thank you so much!!

They really help me a lot 

They really help me a lot through out the whole recruiting process. Although I applied for a different position, after one to one interview with the recruiter (Rhae Redekop) carefully listening my previous experience she suggested me a different job position which was perfect match for my future experience. They provide guidance, instructions and useful information for interviews.

4. Opportunities for Employment Inc.

Website: https://ofe.ca/

Address: 300 – 294 Portage Avenue 

Contact: 204-925-3490

Hours: 

• Mon to Thu: 8:00 am to 4:00 pm
• Fri: By Appointment Only

This faith-based not-for-profit is a solid pick for Winnipeg job seekers and employers who need guidance without extra fees.

A few people would likely appreciate how practical their support feels, since they help local candidates secure steady employment in under 50 days on average.

I like how they don’t just give broad career advice and leave people to figure things out alone. They also build direct employer training pathways, including a Canada Goose program that prepares participants for full-time manufacturing roles.

Their programming is very useful for mature workers and newcomers who may face extra barriers when job hunting.

Do note, however, that eligibility is strict. Applicants must live in Winnipeg, have a valid SIN, and be unemployed or working very limited hours.

Had a really great experience with OFE

Had a really great experience with OFE. The staff are very friendly and supportive. They helped me find a good job opportunity and also worked with me to improve my skills. As a newcomer to Canada, I felt guided and encouraged throughout the process. I highly recommend OFE to anyone, especially newcomers who need support getting started.

So grateful for her dedication and guidance

Five stars for OFE! We had an amazing experience, all thanks to Jolina Pogoy. She was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process. Not only did she support me, but she also helped my partner, Youssef, secure a job. We are both so grateful for her dedication and guidance. Highly recommend!

5. Opulence Staffing Solutions, Inc.

Website: http://www.opulencestaffing.com/

Address: 421 Mulvey Avenue East, Unit 305 

Contact: Phone: (204) 500-2424 | Toll-Free: 877-575-7760 | [email protected]

Hours: Mon to Fri 8 a.m.–6 p.m.

Opulence Staffing Solutions, Inc. has been serving the city since 2012 and stands out as one of the first minority-owned employment agencies in the region. They help with several hiring needs, from manufacturing and general labor to IT and HR administration.

People looking for flexible staffing may find them very useful. Their team focuses a lot on temporary and temp-to-hire roles, which gives businesses time to see if a worker is the right fit before committing long-term.

I also like that they’re not limited to one local office. With locations in Toronto and Minneapolis, they can reach a wider pool of candidates.

The only real drawback is the intake process. Job seekers need to register first, so they can’t apply to openings right away.

Always there to provide a new employee
