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.
EPC is a great place to go through for finding a full-time job. The people I dealt with were great and helped me out with everything I needed to get a new job. If I ever need help again I’ll be going back to EPC for sure.
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.
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.
