Our recruitment and placement procedures have been refined over our many years in business, into a process that ensures the provision of only the best and most qualified candidates for any given position.

Sara has provided numerous candidates to interview (often on very short notice) and seems to know exactly what skills we are looking for. Often, these candidates have been offered full time employment, as we are so happy with their work.

Our Process Includes:

Resume Screening

Over 500 resumes are received weekly. They are screened for qualifications, experience, employment history and transferrable skills. Only those selected will be called in for a personal interview.

Candidate Interview

Candidates being interviewed will complete an application and provide records of education, degrees, certifications and business related references. Our Staffing Specialists will thoroughly interview the candidate and provide additional information on capabilities, character and work history. The interview process allows us to further screen candidates, and only the best move to the next step.

Referencing

Candidates having completed a successful interview are referenced. Only work related references are permitted and must be of a supervisory nature. As past work performance is the single best indicator to future performance, our comprehensive referencing helps evaluate technical skill, work performance, attendance, reliability, cooperation, attitude, etc.

Testing

Successful candidates will be subjected to our in-house interactive web based skills assessment testing. Our program includes over 1200+ available tests (a listing is available for review under Resources – Assessment Tests). Test scores are reviewed and evaluated for placement feasibility. Successful candidates are profiled in our data base of available candidates for placement.

Job Orders

All relevant information pertaining to a specific job order is recorded accurately and included in a formal quote to our customer advising of our terms and conditions for placement. Our candidate profiles are reviewed for matches to the job order. Qualified candidates are advised of the potential position, and then complete resume packages are submitted to the customer for their review.

Customers Interviews & Hire

We highly encourage customers to meet and interview prospective candidates. We arrange interview times either on or off-site. We prepare potential candidates for the interview process by providing an understanding of the customer's business activities, environment and job expectations.

"For successful fulfillment of both supervisory and support staff levels, I have always preferred the 'agency' approach. However, not all agencies provide the one-on-one consultant/customer continuity that your organization provides. This allows for a better understanding of our particular needs. In particular, I am most appreciative that in addition to the rigorous testing you perform on prospective candidates, that you actually allow our own customized financial accounting test material to be presented to these candidates."
- Controller

Job Orientation

Each candidate selected by our customers must undergo a five (5) module Health & Safety orientation program that includes:

• Employee placement paperwork
• GWG Orientation
• Customer on-site specific orientation
• Orientation test and review
• Basic WHMIS training and testing

Customer Quality Check

After one week of employment, the customer is contacted to review the progress of the new employee and to address any concerns or issues.

"They are excellent listeners and communicators, able to understand exactly what we need and supply several excellent candidates from which to choose. I think of G. W. Goudreau as an extension of our H.R. department."
- Business Manager

Employee Quality Check

After one week of employment the employee is contacted to ensure that the on-site training and integration is proceeding smoothly. An "Employee Health and Safety" questionnaire is included with their first pay check.

Payroll Delivery

Weekly payroll is delivered to the various work sites to maintain constant communication between customers and workers in the workplace. This allows rapid resolution of any outstanding or new issues and our availability to procure new business opportunities with our customer.

The follow-up on the incumbents is indicative of the quality service they provide. It is ongoing throughout placements and we have appreciated their commitment to provide us with the best candidates.
