Toronto, ON – July 22, 2025 – Aplin is proud to announce its inclusion on not just one, but three of Forbes’ prestigious 2025 rankings recognizing Canada’s top recruitment agencies. This national recognition reflects the strength of our team, the quality of our service, and the long-standing trust our clients and candidates place in us. As we celebrate 50 years of delivering recruitment solutions across North America, this honour highlights our continued commitment to helping organizations thrive and professionals succeed across every industry and level of talent.
Aplin secured top spots in the following categories:
#16 – Canada’s Best Professional Recruiting Firms
These achievements are the result of an independent survey conducted by Forbes and Statista, gathering input from over 10,000 external recruiters, HR professionals, and hiring managers across Canada. Their recommendations recognize firms that consistently demonstrate excellence in service quality, candidate experience, and long-term hiring success. Aplin’s placement across three categories reflects our continued dedication to delivering world-class recruitment services built on trust, precision, and lasting partnerships.
“Being recognized by Forbes across multiple categories is a testament to the expertise, integrity, and passion of our team,” says Jeff Aplin, CEO. “It speaks to our unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional recruitment solutions that support our clients’ success and our candidates’ careers.”
With 50 years of proven expertise, Aplin provides end‑to‑end recruitment solutions across Canada and the U.S. Whether it is temporary support, contract professionals, permanent placements, or executive search, we connect organizations with the right talent quickly, precisely, and reliably.
Earlier this year, Forbes senior editor Rachel Rabkin Peachman featured Aplin in their February invitation for Canadians to vote for top recruitment and temp staffing firms. That early spotlight validated the strength of Aplin’s brand and fueled broader recognition when the final 2025 rankings were released. Forbes also featured Aplin in its national spotlight article, “Meet Canada’s Best Recruiting and Temporary Staffing Firms 2025,” reinforcing our position as a leading talent partner in both permanent and temporary hiring solutions. It’s further proof that our approach makes a real difference in the market.
Aplin’s affiliate brand, Impact Recruitment, was also recognized by Forbes, ranking among Canada’s top firms for both professional (#100) and temporary staffing (#112).
