Human Resource Consultant Services

The Town of Antigonish is seeking qualified human resource consultants or consulting firms to provide comprehensive recruitment and onboarding support services on an as-needed basis. The scope of work includes sourcing and screening candidates, coordinating interviews, conducting reference checks, drafting offer letters, and facilitating new hire onboarding for various town positions. Proposals must be submitted through the Nova Scotia Procurement Portal by the deadline of June 12, 2026, at 6:00 PM, with the solicitation number TOAHumanResourceConsultant and NAICS code 541612. Interested parties should note that tender details on CanadaBuys may not reflect the most recent amendments, and all updates must be verified on the provincial portal. Access to documents may require registration or payment on third-party platforms. The contract does not involve acquisition of documents, and payment terms are not specified beyond the service delivery framework. The primary point of contact for this solicitation is Meaghan Barkhouse, Contracting Authority, reachable via email at meaghan.barkhouse@townofantigonish.ca. While the solicitation is published under CanadaBuys, the organizing entity is the Town of Antigonish, not a federal agency, despite the misclassification in the system as a federal organization. The nature of the engagement is flexible and contingent on the town’s staffing needs, with no fixed term outlined in the public posting. Bidders must ensure full compliance with submission requirements through the official Nova Scotia Procurement Portal and confirm any platform-specific access conditions prior to responding. Failure to consult the most up-to-date documents on the provincial site may result in non-compliance or disqualification.
