Real Impact. Real Results. Your Voice Matters.
In 2023, we partnered with CFIB to successfully advocate for a crucial delay in Ontario's recruiter licensing and secured valuable options in Bill 27, like the $25,000 letter of credit. We deliver tangible results by working with the right allies.
We also achieved key regulatory updates, including the address change clarification (effective Jan 1, 2025), directly benefiting your business.
We continue to collaborate with partners to ensure your voice is heard by policymakers.

Why RPF Membership Is The Smarter Investment
Most independent staffing firms already pay separately for advocacy, compliance guidance, networking, legal updates, and training. RPF combines everything into one professional membership designed to protect and strengthen your business.
Doing It Alone
Independent firms often underestimate the true cost of fragmented
support, missed compliance updates, and operational exposure.
- ✕ Exposure to Bill 27 / MOL licensing penalties
- ✕ Paying separately for legal and compliance updates
- ✕ Expensive leadership training and industry education
- ✕ Limited networking and supplier relationships
- ✕ No unified advocacy or industry representation
Estimated Exposure
$10k+
In fragmented costs, missed opportunities,
compliance risks, and operational exposure.
Without proper industry support, independent firms face uncapped
operational and compliance risk that can cost far more than membership itself.
