People first. Always.
When people feel supported, they do their best work. There’s no limit to what we can do, together.
Our story
Poly began in 2006 with a simple idea: put people first and everything else follows. What started as a small recruiting practice grew into a trusted partner for companies across North America, with our relationships as the foundation.
When the world changed in 2020, so did we. We saw a future where great work could happen anywhere, and decided to make it possible. We expanded from Toronto to new markets including Southeastern Europe, South America, South Asia and beyond.
Today, we help organizations find and hire talent through Poly Tech Talent, our recruitment and global staffing arm, and using PolyCareers, our AI-powered job platform. Our story is evolving, and we’re just getting started!
Our core values
Simple words. Real behaviour. Our values aren’t slogans. They show up in how we treat each other, how we work, and how we grow together. They’re simple, but they bind us.
Be Kind
We lead with kindness in how we work and communicate. We treat candidates, clients, and colleagues with respect and honesty. Kindness builds trust—and trust is where great work starts.
Take Ownership
Ownership means taking something from start to finish and earning trust that it’s in good hands. We own our work, our relationships, and how we handle challenges and outcomes.
Keep Learning
Each day is a chance to learn. We improve our craft, refine our process, and look for better, simpler ways to work. We learn from wins and mistakes because our goal is to evolve, not stay the same.
Do the right thing
We choose what’s right over what’s easy. That means being honest, honoring commitments, and avoiding shortcuts. Integrity isn’t always simple, but it’s how we build work we’re proud of.
Educate, don’t sell
We give people the truth, not a sales pitch. We share the full picture and real trade-offs so clients and candidates can decide confidently. Honesty builds clarity, trust, and better matches.
Move with urgency
Time matters. We respond quickly, decide decisively, and keep things moving. Urgency isn’t rushing—it’s focusing on what matters, removing what doesn’t, and acting while others stall.
Our responsibility
As part of a global workforce, we all have a responsibility to treat our people and partners fairly, supporting safe and inclusive workplaces, and holding ourselves to high standards in everything we do.
We take cues from global best practices in ethics, labor rights, and sustainability, not because we have to, but because it’s the right thing to do. Our commitment to doing the right thing has earned us a Silver rating from EcoVadis, recognizing our progress in sustainability, ethics, and labor practices. For us, responsibility isn’t a program. It’s a mindset.
Let’s build your next great team
Whether you’re hiring locally or scaling globally, our process keeps things simple and our team tackles the challenges.
