Ontario's New Employment Law is Already in Effect

Since January 1st, 2026, Ontario employers must comply with O. Reg. 476/24. Missing the 45-day notification requirement means potential Ministry of Labour complaints.

What You Must Do Now

  • Disclose salary ranges on all job postings (max $50k spread)
  • Notify interviewees within 45 days if they're no longer being considered
  • Disclose AI usage in your hiring process
  • Never require "Canadian experience" in postings
  • Retain all records for 3 years

The Problem with Current Options

  • SaaS ATS = $300-800/month forever (and price increases yearly)
  • Most aren't ESA-compliant — you'd still track 45 days manually
  • 4-8 week implementations when you need compliance NOW
  • Spreadsheets aren't audit-ready and errors are inevitable
  • US-focused products don't understand Canadian law

3-Year Cost Reality Check

Greenhouse$14,400 - $28,800
Workable$9,000 - $18,000
BambooHR$7,200 - $14,400
Lemonbrand ATS$9,900 total*

*Professional package + 2 years maintenance. You own it forever.

Common Questions

What if you go out of business?

The system runs on YOUR accounts (Vercel, Convex, Clerk). You own the code. Even if we disappeared tomorrow, your ATS keeps running. That's the point of ownership vs. subscription.

Do we need technical staff to manage it?

No. Once deployed, it's fully managed by the cloud providers. No servers to maintain, no updates to install manually. If you want compliance updates, that's what the annual maintenance add-on covers.

What about data migration from our current system?

Professional and Enterprise packages include data migration. We'll import your existing candidates and applications from spreadsheets or other systems. Standalone migration is $1,500.

Does it work with our Microsoft 365?

Yes. Full integration with Outlook (send emails from your account), Calendar (schedule interviews), and Teams (auto-generate meeting links). Requires Microsoft/Azure AD for authentication.

Is there a money-back guarantee?

Yes. If the system doesn't meet your needs within 30 days of deployment, we'll refund your purchase. We're confident it will.

How soon can we be live?

Typical deployment is 5-7 business days from contract signing. If you have urgent compliance needs, we can expedite.
