What a Bilingual Headhunter Does for You
A bilingual headhunter finds people who can do the job in both French and English, including people who are not looking at job postings. We approach them directly, confirm both languages, and present only candidates who meet every must-have you set.
You spend your time interviewing a short list, not screening a pile of résumés.
Roles We Fill
We fill permanent bilingual roles at every level and in every function, for employers across Canada. If French and English are part of the daily work, we recruit for it. Examples include:
- Sales and account management
- Finance, accounting, and payroll
- Human resources and talent acquisition
- Marketing and communications
- Customer service and operations
- Administrative and coordination roles
We do not fill temporary or contract roles. Every search is for a permanent hire.

Questions Employers Ask About Bilingual Headhunters
- What is the difference between a headhunter and a recruitment agency? A recruitment agency often fills roles from people who apply. A headhunter approaches the right people directly, including those who are not looking. Bilingual Source does both, for permanent roles only.
- How do you confirm a candidate's French? Every candidate's French is assessed, written and oral, before an employer sees a résumé. You know the level before you spend time on an interview.
- What happens if a placement does not work out? Every placement includes a replacement period of three months after the start date, extended free of charge on request.
- Do you fill temporary or contract roles? No. Bilingual Source recruits for permanent roles only.
- Will you recruit our employees away later? No. We do not approach people we placed while they remain with your company. Our Placement Promise explains how it works.
