    Q: Why aren't I being hired for one of the positions posted?

    A: G.W.Goudreau Personnel Services Ltd. has been recently experiencing a high level of people questioning why they aren't being considered or acquiring the jobs being posted.

    1. It must be remembered that every candidate must meet the skill set qualifications and educational requirements that our customer defines for us. Our job is to find an accurate match. We do not make the final decision for hire.

    2. It is also sometimes the case that a person's resumes does not accurately reflect the skill set required. We can only go by what we see on the resume provided to us.

    3. And lastly but most importantly, Staffing Firms have a very high level of resumes coming in on a daily basis and it is not possible to find every person employment, although that is our deepest wish.

    So please keep this in mind as we work diligently every day to secure employment for as many people as possible.
    If you have any additional questions regarding how we qualify candidates, please feel free to contact our Management Team and we would be happy to explain further.
