About us
Human-focused International Recruitment
What makes Recrutement International Kennebex unique is our knowledge of the various cultures and challenges facing manufacturing companies around the world. As a globetrotter who likes to get to know people, and as the owner of a successful metal processing company (PJB Industries), our president André Maheux has set up a turnkey foreign worker recruitment service for Quebec firms, designed to provide the best possible match between employers and employees. After more than five years in business, he can justifiably claim mission accomplished.
André’S
JOURNEY
André has been travelling the world over the course of five years.
I spent an enormous amount of time studying the history and religion of different countries and their inhabitants. When I felt I understood the culture, why people behaved in such and such a way, I would move on to the next country. I have visited some 60 countries in 60 months. For a grand total of 96 countries in my life.

Our values
when it comes to respectful international recruitment
The world is a big place, populated by people who are destined to come together. Recrutement International Kennebex has chosen to bridge the gap between entrepreneurs looking for skilled employees and workers looking for a fulfilling job.
OUR mission
Assist Quebec companies in their recruitment efforts, while also allowing foreign workers to enjoy better living conditions.
Foster their personal development so that they settle permanently in Quebec.
A passion for different cultures
It was our appreciation of the different cultures of the world that motivated us to create Recrutement International Kennebex. Our President, in his mid thirties, packed his backpack and travelled the world for five years with the sole purpose of learning more about the world. He never turned down an invitation to eat or sleep in people’s homes, travelling as close to them as possible.
Putting people first
Fascination for a new country begins with learning its human achievements, both modern and ancient. Then nature, in all its splendour and diversity, catches our attention. Then we realize that it’s not endless, that it all looks the same in the end… and only then do we appreciate that it’s the locals that are truly fascinating!
They’re the reason we keep travelling. It’s their culture that we want to absorb. Every human being is unique and offers us an endless source of discovery and learning; their philosophies of life may be completely at odds with our own, but perfectly logical and just as rewarding. It’s this ever-present urge to reach out and engage with others that guide our actions.
We do this for all the right reasons
Helping foreign workers settle in a rich, developed country like Canada is a way for us to give back to the people who welcomed us, fed us and protected us out of the goodness of their hearts, knowing very well they’d never see us again.
For us, helping Quebec employers continue to grow by hiring people from abroad with the skills and know-how they need is a way of contributing to the overall vitality of our society. For a foreign worker, finding a job in Quebec is like winning the lottery of a lifetime. Their children will have a better future here.
For Quebec companies, hiring a skilled immigrant is like hiring a highly motivated person.
That is why we go to great lengths to find the best possible match between the foreign worker and the hiring company. A happy, satisfied employee is more likely to stay with the organization and develop his or her full potential.
