Canadian staffing companies place nearly two million temporary and contract workers in jobs each year, according to the Association of Canadian Search, Employment & Staffing Services (ACSESS). Staffing for Canada Week, June 1–7, celebrates these workers and the staffing and recruiting industry, which generates more than $22 billion in revenue annually.
Contingent employees bring immense value to the workforce. Two-thirds (66%) of Canadian companies say they’re willing to hire contingent workers to meet business needs, according to an Express Employment Professionals-Harris Poll survey.
Commemorate this week by celebrating temporary and contract workers and their impact on the industries where they work!
