Simple Process
NIWE Academy is a leading beauty education provider in Canada, delivering high-quality training across multiple disciplines within the beauty industry.
As a growing academy, NIWE relies on hiring skilled professionals who can not only perform technically but also mentor, educate, and represent the brand to a high standard.
Roles recruited include:
Front Desk Receptionist (with Sales)
Esthetics Mentor
Clinical Mentor
Hairstylist / Barber
Business Development roles
Before working with ecruit, NIWE Academy faced several recruitment frustrations:
Poor-quality candidates
Low candidate volume
Long hiring timelines
Difficulty filtering applicants
Despite using popular hiring platforms, the team kept encountering the same issue:
“We were getting the same B players from other hiring software.”
For a training-led organisation, this created a real risk — they needed high-quality, reliable individuals who could contribute to both education and business growth.
NIWE initially partnered with ecruit by purchasing 2 credits, looking to test a new approach to hiring.
Their goal was clear:
Find “A players” — not just more candidates.
They needed a partner who could:
Proactively source stronger candidates
Reach beyond active job seekers
Save internal time spent searching and filtering
Deliver candidates aligned with both skill and culture
Following early success, NIWE Academy expanded their approach by moving onto a Growth package, allowing them to:
Combine headhunting and advertising
Choose the right recruitment method for each role
Scale hiring as their needs evolved
This flexibility meant they could:
Use headhunting for niche or high-impact roles
Use advertising for volume and broader reach
The result was a more strategic and adaptable recruitment process.
Since partnering with ecruit, NIWE Academy has:
Filled 5 key roles across the business
Successfully hired across both education and commercial functions
Built strong shortlists for each role
Examples include:
Education Officer role → 12 shortlisted → 1 hire
Sales role → 15–20 shortlisted → 2 hires
More recently, the team has also filled business development roles, demonstrating the ability to support both operational and growth-focused hiring.
Ecruit has delivered measurable improvements across NIWE Academy’s recruitment:
Higher-quality candidates — moving from “B players” to stronger hires
Improved retention, thanks to better candidate fit
Reduced time spent sourcing and filtering
Greater flexibility in managing different types of roles
The Growth package has enabled NIWE to match the right hiring approach to each role, improving outcomes across the board.
Sophia highlighted both the service and long-term value:
“Working with ecruit has been a breeze. They are more than willing to help and accommodate what fits your business.”
She also emphasised the lasting impact:
“We are happy with the candidates ecruit has brought our way and have seen better retention due to their expertise.”
After starting with just 2 credits, NIWE Academy has:
Upgraded to a Growth package
Continued to use both headhunting and advertising
Begun the process of renewing for future hiring needs
This reflects the value they’ve seen in building an ongoing partnership with ecruit.
NIWE Academy would strongly recommend ecruit to other organisations:
“If you are struggling to find the right people to work for you, ecruit helps find the right candidates.”
For businesses looking to improve both candidate quality and hiring flexibility, ecruit provides a scalable solution.
If you’re seeing the same candidates again and again, it’s time to go beyond job boards.
