STAFFING
SPARK supports multinational brands with local employment excellence. As an employer of record in both Canada and the USA, our services range from basic payroll to a most comprehensive HR service bundle. Whether we do a little or a lot, our service remains high and our price remains competitive. We are active advocates for best practices with a focus to be recognized as the employer of choice.
SPARK partners with global brands to provide comprehensive recruitment and project-specific staffing services for luxury travel retail. The SPARK Staffing Model is carefully developed by the mandate to be travel retail-specific.
We know our staff and we have a relationship with them. From on-boarding to off-boarding and all the scenarios in between, we are committed to happiness and professionalism. We are collaborators and carefully navigate the interdependence between staff, brand and retailer. Administration fees are calculated as either a % of an hourly wage or as a flat monthly fee and scaled to service levels/finance terms. Our staff are employed, insured and happy to work for us. Stakeholders know that we keep their best interests front and centre.
