What People Are Saying About EPC
Employment Professionals Canada is a great way to get a starting job and get the experience you need as a newbie to work. You get as much help as you need and they’re always willing to answer any questions that people have. They’re a great place to go to and work with.
I had a great experience with them. They treated me very well, responding to all my questions and looking for a position solution immediately. It has been a great time working with them with no issue. Amazing staff are always polite and professional. EPC keep up with that same spirit, and thank you for lifting me up to where I am now.
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 had a great experience with them. Everyone is professional and very nice. They got me out to jobs in my field quickly and I am still at one of the jobs 2 years later. I even feel comfortable going back to them for advice. They had a genuine concern about finding me a job as soon as I needed one. I am extremely grateful for their help.
It has been an absolute pleasure working with your agency for the first time and I would not hesitate to recommend EPC or working with you in the future. Thank you for your professionalism, time and dedication to the process.
