What you will be doing…

As the Background Screening Supervisor, you will lead a team of 10–12 agents who provide identity verification and background check services to the public, businesses, and government clients.

• Assigning daily schedules and workloads, balancing walk-in traffic with scheduled corporate and government clients
• Conducting performance reviews, identifying training needs, and developing SOPs, training manuals, and job aids
• Acting as first point of escalation for complex client issues or service complaints, resolving matters with diplomacy and sound judgement
• Overseeing quality of digital and ink-roll fingerprinting, ensuring prints meet RCMP standards and minimizing rejection rates
• Supervising financial reconciliation, including daily ledger entries, bulk client billing, and account discrepancy resolution
• Preparing weekly and monthly operational reports on service volumes, fingerprint rejection rates, and financial summaries
• Coordinating and supervising mobile fingerprinting services for corporate and government clients
• Liaising with justice partners (RCMP, Ottawa Police, courts) regarding submissions, rejections, and follow-up
• Enforcing health, safety, and confidentiality standards across all office and mobile environments
• Supporting your team through the day-to-day realities of people management — including scheduling, attendance, and working through workplace challenges with fairness and consistency

What’s in it for you?

• Work for a reputable and nationally known company
• Work in a challenging and rewarding work environment
• Employer paid professional development
• A comprehensive benefits package
• Generous paid time off, holidays and sick days
• Retirement plans with company matching of employee contributions
• Employee discount programs, social outings and holiday gatherings

• Exceptional bilingual communication skills; oral and written, in both English and French
• Strong customer/client service orientation, with the ability to handle escalated situations with professionalism and diplomacy
• Exceptional discretion and the ability to manage confidential information with accuracy and integrity
• Superior organizational and time management skills in a fast-paced, multi-priority environment

• Ability to lead by example, modeling accountability, professionalism, and client service excellence

Your must-haves:
