The Contingent Labour Office’s (CLO) mandate is to partner with the business to enable an expedited and customer-centric positive approach to engaging external resources. At the same time, balancing the commercial needs of the business with mitigating risk to the firm. This mandate is achieved by:

  • Utilizing internal contingent workforce expert practitioners, who continuously expand their skills and remain up-to-date on market intelligence.
  • Acting as trusted advisors, to educate, challenge the status quo, and advise the business on creative approaches to find the right solutions.
  • Delivering a customer-centric approach to the business and external resources by minimizing administration efforts, anticipating their needs, projecting a ‘how can I help you’ attitude, and actively collaborating with Hiring Managers to deepen relationships.

Location: Anywhere in Canada will be considered, virtual work opportunity (1-2 days in office per month may be required for company meetings)

What you will do

Reporting to the National Leader of the Contract Labour Office (CLO), the CLO Specialist will execute processes related to external resources – during the initial setup, while on contract, and when renewing or departing – for all functions and locations across Canada (the CLO processes 1000+ external resources per year of varying size – from individual to multi-million dollar organizations). Additionally, the Specialist will play a significant role in ensuring operational excellence is achieved by contributing to ongoing improvements to the team’s internal workflows, technology, and documentation. The CLO Specialist:

  • Applies technical expertise to advise, guide, and support Hiring Managers in the engagement of external resources, critical to meeting the needs of their clients/projects.
  • Leverages available technology to optimize CLO use-experience, processes, and usage of team resources.
  • Places a key role in optimizing processes and ensuring documentation is updated for relevant stakeholders.

The successful candidate would be responsible for, but not limited to:

Case Management

  • Facilitate intake conversations with Hiring Managers (Partners and Sr. Managers).
  • Provide walkthroughs and training on submitting requests within the vendor management system.
  • Gather, interpret, and assess information related to the setup and case management of external resources through KPMG vendor management system.
  • Conduct required due diligence on resources (KPMG history, background checks, independence, business verification, etc.).
  • Educate and advise stakeholders on course of action.
  • Maintain continuous contact with stakeholders to keep them apprised of progress related to their cases or requests.
  • Document and maintain information in shared record-keeping tools to be used as reference data, source information for reporting and analytics, and be utilized for compliance audits.
  • Be aware of flags that would deem a case to be ‘complex.’
  • Collaborate with other members of the team to ensure business needs are met.
  • Respond to ad hoc inquiries/requests to the CLO functional mailbox (or own inbox) by providing education, instructions, clarifications, redirection, information, etc. or triaging appropriately.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
