We ve had great experiences with all the people we ve had work here who have come to us from Employment Professionals Canada. Some of these people have gone on to become permanent full-time employees. We always look for employees that are consistent, show up on time, who are eager and willing to do what s asked of them and we always find that with EPC. I would absolutely recommend their service to anyone who needs it.

We are happy to recommend Employment Professionals Canada for the high-quality service. In addition to the quality of their service, EPC ensures their clients receive 24-hour service, their prices are also competitive and better than the other companies doing business in the same field. We have been using the services of EPC for the last 15 years and have never faced serious issues. We strongly recommend EPC for all your recruitment requirements.

I was working at a company for close to 26 years in Alberta when I moved to another branch in Sarnia. I was put at the bottom of a union list. I would get the table scraps of what the guys didn t want. It was four hours here, four hours there. That didn t work for me because I was hungry to make money. EPC was like a lottery cheque for me when I needed to find work. They helped me out when I needed some things to go on and she kept me going. For EPC, I am there for them. It was a blessing in disguise. I can t thank the staff enough. The people I work with today are fantastic.

Employment Professionals Canada has been a wonderful partner to help fill our employment needs. They have taken their time to understand our company s culture and needs, and that is evident in the quality of people they recommend to us. Every request is handled in a timely manner. The team at EPC is wonderful, friendly and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend them to anyone who requires their service.

Anyone in business can attest to the fact that recruiting can be time-consuming and challenging at best! EPC has made the process so much easier for us many times over the years. They ve been and continue to be a reliable resource for us. We appreciate their professionalism and the valued employees that they have brought to us. I would confidently recommend their services to any business. Thanks, EPC!
