President | Power Staffing Solutions

Since starting Power Staffing Solutions, an Ontario-based firm focused on healthcare and IT, Saye Sathiyakumar has understood what makes the company stand out from a large pool of competitors. “We genuinely care about what we do. It’s that simple,” he says. “If you care about what you do and are trying to solve problems, you’ll go much further.” This ethos has driven the company’s rapid growth, earning it a spot as the second fastest-growing company in Canada on the prestigious Globe and Mail list in 2022.

A go-getter by nature, Sathiyakumar is motivated by the dynamic nature of the staffing industry. “We’re in an industry where our product is people, and people are always evolving. Every day, there’s something new happening, and we need to adapt to that quickly.”

Sathiyakumar is also driven by his own experience. “I come from very humble beginnings,” he shares, referring to his roots in a low-income immigrant community in Scarborough, Ontario, Canada. “In this industry, you can help people and change lives while also providing for your family. It has personally changed my family’s life. But you have to be passionate about it.”

This passion extends beyond the work, actively supporting his community, donating to underfunded schools and initiating scholarships. Recognizing the overlooked issue of mental health within his South Asian community, he established a scholarship in honor of a late friend. “We do a lot of community initiatives,” he says. “Our office is based in Scarborough, a traditionally low-income area, and we’ve now become the largest employer here. It’s a proud feeling.”

Power Staffing Solutions (“PSS”), prominent Toronto-based Healthcare, IT and Professional recruitment agency, announced today that Thushanth Sivaananthan, an accomplished staffing industry executive with extensive experience in tactical operations and large-scale project management across North America, will be coming aboard as a shareholder, and taking on the role as the company’s new Executive Vice President.

This exciting strategic move marks the formation of a long-awaited dynamic duo, with 20+ years of combined experience. The new management partnership is built on a relationship that goes beyond business to mutual dreams, aspirations and a mission to build something meaningful. PSS President & CEO, Saye Sathiyakumar and newly appointed Executive VP, Thushanth Sivaananthan, are long-time friends with a shared history of interests and early entrepreneurial pursuits. As high school friends, these “two peas in a pod” started an urban clothing business together at the age of 17, before advancing their studies and later entering the recruitment industry.

“Introducing Thushanth to the recruitment world was a chess move 7 years ago – I anticipated that this day would come. Now that the timing is right, I am thrilled to have the opportunity to take our company to the next level alongside one of my best friends, while simultaneously forming an unstoppable leadership team,” says Sathiyakumar.

Before entering the staffing industry, Thushanth pursued studies in mental health, and helped build a non-profit clinic in Toronto. In 2017, Saye invited him to join the staffing industry, and the rest was history. Thushanth brings unmatched proficiency to the table, having most recently held the role as Vice President of one of Canada’s largest labour workforce organizations, managing $250M+ in gross revenues.

“Our combined expertise is sure to be a game changer, and shake up the industry, by re-defining the concept of what’s possible. With my passion for Recruitment, plus my experience in both technology and healthcare, I believe that becoming a partner at PSS was my true calling. I’m ready to take Power Staffing Solutions to new heights by bringing an unprecedented level of service delivery and value to our clients,” says Sivaananthan.
