Overview
Sentient HR Services specializes in child care and education staffing in Canada, serving centers and private schools in the GTA and Ottawa. It provides four pillars: supply staffing (on-demand, 24/7, temporary educators billed hourly with a minimum shift), permanent recruiting, HR consulting (employment standards, performance management, health and safety, termination), and training via its own learning platform. Staff are sourced quickly through a proprietary platform and direct channels, with vetted educators. The goal is to help centers and schools staff efficiently, manage HR, and develop their teams with qualified professionals.
