Job description

Overview

The Brandt Group of Companies is currently seeking a Recruiter focused on the Queen City Sports & Entertainment Division for its Regina, SK, location.

This is a rare opportunity for a strategic recruiter to help build something entirely new. In this role, you will lead end‑to‑end recruitment for a new sports & entertainment operation, shaping the teams that will bring a premium guest experience to life from day one. You will partner closely with leaders to design and execute proactive talent strategies, identify high‑impact hospitality professionals, and build strong pipelines across front‑of‑house, back‑of‑house, leadership, and specialty roles.

The ideal candidate is a confident, relationship‑driven individual with proven headhunting experience and a strong background in hospitality recruitment will be an asset. You are energized by building teams, comfortable sourcing passive talent, and skilled at engaging high performers who are not actively looking. You think strategically, move with urgency, and understand how exceptional hiring directly impacts brand reputation and guest experience. If you are excited by autonomy, ownership, and the opportunity to leave a lasting mark on a flagship hospitality launch, this role offers both challenge and reward.
