In August 2021, TOTEM Recrutement accelerated its growth in Quebec with the acquisition of Bray, Larouche & Associés, a firm specializing in administrative recruitment. This acquisition is part of a succession process and ensures the continuity of Bray, Larouche & Associés, a 100% Quebec-based company celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. Both companies are small in size and share a commitment to providing personalized, high-quality service, in addition to paying particular attention to the well-being of their employees.
