Blue Tongue’s Workforce Supply and Management Services

Skills Project Consulting and Investment

We’re here to help you build a skilled, dedicated workforce to reduce your spend on external contractors. We start by developing customized workforce planning strategies that meet your unique needs. We then invest all initial costs, so you can focus on the benefits with minimal risk.

That’s because, at Blue Tongue, we are more than a workforce supply organization. We are a consulting partner, and we share in the risk and cost of every project. We plan, design, and invest in each project, and manage the entire skills recruitment, hiring, and training journey so you can focus on growing your business. Our ability to minimize risk and manage cost is second to none, and we have a proven track record of over two decades in delivering exceptional employment results for our Clients.

Acquisition, Upskill Training, and Workforce Development

Ongoing Heavy Duty Equipment skills shortages are impacting Canadian businesses who have an over-reliance on contract workers, which impacts not just the bottom line, but company culture, and leadership ability. That’s why we designed our Advanced Group Training Program — to help Canadian businesses solve critical workforce shortages of Heavy Duty Equipment Technicians for the long term.

We help career-minded Automotive Service Technicians become qualified Heavy Duty Equipment Technicians and then transition to work for our Clients. With more than 1,000 successful automotive trades employees being carefully selected, trained and employed through Blue Tongue’s Advanced Group Training Programs to date, we’ve been able to deliver unprecedented rates of success for our partner Clients, including retention rates of 93%, and improvements in workplace culture and workforce acquisition.

International Talent Acquisition, Hiring, and Workforce Management

To decrease dependency on external contractors and reduce labour hire costs, Canadian businesses must strengthen their internal capabilities. With decades of experience assisting top-tier companies to achieve this through our global talent programs, Blue Tongue is the industry leader in driving sustainable, positive change.

We’re experts in sourcing, selecting, and employing specialist technical trades from around the world. Our International Talent Program, which includes sourcing, hiring, and managing a Heavy Duty Equipment Technician and Heavy Commercial Mechanic (on-highway) workforce, allows us to solve Canada’s critical specialist skills shortages by employing and sponsoring talented overseas workers for our domestic Clients.

By combining your leadership and commitment to change with our expertise, we can help you address critical skills shortages, boost workforce retention, and enhance workplace culture — delivering results that positively impact your bottom line.
