Artemp

What Artemp does

Artemp Personnel Services Inc. is a privately held professional staffing firm founded in 1987 and headquartered in Ottawa, Canada. The company operates three service divisions: Creative Services and Communications (supplying graphic designers, writers, editors, translators, marketing specialists, multimedia specialists, and web developers); Human Resources Services (providing organizational design, classification, staffing, organizational development, leadership development, executive coaching, and change management); and Professional Services (supplying consultants in geomatics/GIS, procurement, Access to Information and Privacy, project management, and finance/audit). Artemp places individual professionals and customized project teams with both federal government departments and private sector clients in the National Capital Region.

The business model is fee-based professional services staffing. Revenue is generated through billable arrangements for consultant placement, with the company handling payroll functions including tax deductions, vacation allowances, and benefits enrollment for temporary staffing arrangements. Artemp holds TBIPS Stream 2 and ProServices Stream 2 standing offers for geomatics services, which provide preferential access to federal procurement opportunities. The company maintains direct relationship-based sales engagement rather than leveraging digital marketing or technology platforms.

Artemp's customer base is heavily weighted toward the Federal Government of Canada, which it has served for more than 25 years as one of the main suppliers of HR services. The company also serves private sector clients spanning high-tech, advertising, and not-for-profit organizations. The firm is independently owned with no evidence of external investors, no parent company, and no public listing. The internal headcount is reported at 1-10 employees, which is typical for a staffing firm where deployed consultants are contracted rather than employed on the company's internal payroll.
