What People Are Saying About EPC
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.
In February 2017, I was contacted by EPC for an admin position with a company in Niagara Falls. I accepted the position and was employed there for three months. Unfortunately, the job was not a fit for me and I decided to end the placement. EPC was very understanding about my decision and acted in my best interests always when dealing with the company.
In December 2017, I reached out to EPC for her assistance. A Niagara Falls company had offered me a permanent position, but decided that instead of hiring me directly, they would prefer to go through an agency.
Without hesitation, I recommended EPC to them. They agreed, and the company s HR department was in contact with staff to make arrangements for EPC to handle my contract. All the staff are truly employment professionals and I would highly recommend them.
I’ve been happily employed with EPC for the last 2+ years. It has been nothing but positive! Great management and staff. I’ve had an exceedingly positive experience since employment.
Employment professionals Canada is a great place to start a career. I have been with them for just over 2 years and I have been treated very well. The people that are in the office are amazing to work for and are very good to talk with. If you re looking for a new opportunity and great people to work with EPC!
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.
