This systemic fragmentation does more than just frustrate recruiters; it creates a persistent fog of data that obscures the true relationship between a hiring decision and a company’s long-term health.

The safety of a nation depends on the people willing to protect it, yet thousands of capable Canadians are currently stranded in a bureaucratic limbo that stretches for nearly a year.
