IVEY Group has once again secured a place on The Globe and Mail’s prestigious list of Canada’s Fastest-Growing Companies—marking the third consecutive year of national recognition. This achievement underscores the company’s rapid, sustained expansion and its reputation for delivering skilled labour solutions that support critical industries across Canada.
Founded in Timmins, IVEY Group has evolved from a regional recruitment agency into a nationwide leader in immigration, recruitment, and workforce integration, serving mining, manufacturing, forestry, and oil & gas operations from coast to coast. Over the past several years, the company has maintained an impressive growth trajectory while remaining rooted in Northern Ontario values of reliability, community engagement, and long-term partnerships.
This recognition arrives at a pivotal moment with the official launch of Rock Solid Resources (RSR), IVEY’s newest division dedicated to supporting Northern Ontario’s mining sector.
“We listen to the needs of our clients, and over the years we’ve heard a growing call for on-demand, skilled workers,” said Anthony Lawley, President & CEO of IVEY Group, speaking at the Timmins Chamber State of Mining event on September 24. “IVEY Group has always focused on permanent placements, but some operations can’t wait three to six months. That’s why we launched Rock Solid Resources—an agile, contracting-focused business we’re extremely proud of.”
Mining operations face labour needs that shift with every stage of a project’s life cycle, from exploration to full production. RSR meets this challenge by providing flexible, highly trained crews who can be deployed quickly to keep operations running safely and efficiently. All workers are trained in Canadian mining safety standards and are supported through site-specific certifications such as Common Core and Red Seal, ensuring every team member is ready to perform from day one.
Beyond meeting immediate labour demands, IVEY Group is dedicated to creating meaningful career pathways for international and Canadian workers alike. The company’s unique integration model helps newcomers settle successfully in their communities, strengthening local economies and supporting the long-term sustainability of industries that drive growth in Northern Ontario and beyond.
IVEY’s approach—combining international recruitment, immigration expertise, and community integration—has proven especially valuable as Canada faces an aging workforce and skill shortages in key trades. By providing both permanent and contract-based solutions, the company helps employers stay competitive while offering workers opportunities to build stable, rewarding futures.
With three consecutive years of recognition on The Globe and Mail list, IVEY Group is not only celebrating past achievements but also charting an ambitious path forward. The company continues to invest in training, technology, and partnerships that enhance productivity and support economic development across Canada.
From its roots in Timmins to its expanding national footprint, IVEY Group and Rock Solid Resources are setting the standard for flexible, high-quality workforce solutions. Their mission remains clear: to drive measurable success for employers and to change thousands of lives by connecting skilled workers with meaningful, long-term opportunities.
