WHO WE ARE?

It is Local Staffing’s purpose to become Ottawa’s reliable source of Industrial Work and Industrial Workers. Meeting this objective has required more than providing jobs and employees.  It has required Local Staffing to adapt to the constantly changing demands of the business environment. After ten years working in diverse industrial fields, we have learned to anticipate these demands and develop new approaches as needs and circumstances for employers and employees change.  As times change, we change.

OUR MISSION:

Empowering Success through Strategic Staffing

At Local Staffing, our mission is clear - to empower success through strategic staffing and recruiting. We believe that the right talent can transform a business, and the right opportunity can transform a career. We are dedicated to facilitating these connections and contributing to the growth and prosperity of the individuals and organizations.

The members of our Management Team began their work experience in Ottawa’s Industrial Sector. With the culmination of years of working in Manufacturing, Warehousing and Construction, we can now bring our familiarity with those sectors, and the learned experience we acquired, to filling the very positions we once worked.  

We built our Recruitment Services Team on the personal qualities that we want projected to candidates and to clients. Since Local Staffing is a community-based recruitment and staffing firm, we hire recruiters who enjoy working in the Ottawa market with the particular mix of individuals who seek employment in our city. Not only do our recruiters engage with, and screen, potential job seekers daily, but they invite each selected candidate to our office to meet us in person. We do not rely only on resumes and technology to source our candidates. We spend the time to engage with applicants to ensure that they are the right fit for the role, and the position is right for them.  

WHAT IS THE LOCAL ADVANTAGE?

The advantage of working with Local Staffing is that we pride ourselves on our exceptional customer service and our ability to deliver on-going results. Our continual focus on building long-term relationships with both our clients and candidates allows us to to provide the highest level of service and support:

  • Locally owned and operated for over ten years, with roots in the National Capital

  • Hands-on experience working both with and within Ottawa’s Industrial Sector

  • Engagement with clients and job seekers in office and on-site locations across the Ottawa Valley

  • An active in-office presence to respond to inquiries and requests in a timely manner

It is important to recognize the value of having a locally based staffing agency available to you. Whether it’s for expanding your access to new job opportunities or sourcing qualified candidates for your next hire, the benefits are clear.  Let’s face it, we meet with local talent and local employers each and every day.   Let us connect you.
