A True Partner Who Takes The Time To Understand Your Unique Business Culture:
“ABL Direct has been our go-to recruitment firm for the past few years. The team at ABL Direct takes great interest in our organization, getting to know our people, work environment, and culture in addition to the role requirements in order to find the right fit. We are very pleased with the candidates we’ve hired with ABL Direct’s help and expertise.”

As a client company of ABL Employment I am beyond impressed with how they service us. I have chosen to stay anonymous as we do have a backup agency as well but because of service ABL provides we never have to call them to help. ABL is always very polite no matter who I’ve talked with. They find us the best people for our jobs and always finding them on time. They offer other great services that I have never had with other agencies. Jennifer and Tom are such a delight to work with and have both been with ABL since we started working with them and can offer brilliant ideas to help when we feel needed. Very happy they are our staffing solution.

Just like the global logistics industry, ABL never stops. Even through the pandemic they kept on moving as a business, shifting their strategy to service essential businesses with candidates. Once CERB launched, not many people would go into work. ABL created a roster of employees that we could call whenever we needed someone. An absolutely reliable and future-ready company.

“ABL has demonstrated time and time again that they are nimble, effective and actively involved in finding solutions for their clients. They ensure to take the time to understand your business, needs, and most importantly, the cultural fits you are looking for. They truly become a business partner on your journey to success. They have an incredible ability to align your staffing needs with their robust pool of talented candidates. They are transparent, fair and always open to feedback. Their staffing team have been incredible to work with as they truly want to ensure success in all the relationships they create. We are privileged to have found ABL as a staffing solution in partnership with our business! Thank you ABL”

Impressive ongoing communications and responsiveness to changing requirements:

From the very first communication with ABL, I was impressed by the no-nonsense, pragmatic and realistic approach to modern day recruitment.  Coming from the UK with limited knowledge of best practice in Canada, the team were readily available to advise and recommend.

From the initial screening process to communications with the candidates, I could not fault the prompt and professional nature of the organisation.  I was particularly impressed when (I was) interviewing on a weekend that the team were at hand to answer questions and liaise with candidates should timings change.  Overall a seamless process, which is clearly a tried and tested successful model with a very impressive response rate. The team genuinely care about your recruitment needs and actually listen to your requirements. In particular, Sharon and Hayley have been fantastic.  Very impressed with everything, great job!

We’re a Pet Supply company that packages and ships kitty litter and wood shavings for small animal cages in a small town rural community. In addition to common allergies and the prevalence of dust in the environment, this resulted in a limited local candidate-pool. We partner with ABL because they work closely with us to provide before-dispatch orientations that include photos and videos, and detailed descriptions of the kinds of substances and materials that are found onsite, to help limit the number of people who turnover after the first day due to these common issues. ABL also coaches and counsels candidates on the importance of wearing PPE properly to help avoid common first week issues that were previously typical. Their initiatives help lower first week turnover, and the associated costs of constantly training replacements.

A Critical Advisor For Your Long-term Hiring Success:

“Over the past five years, we have repeatedly partnered with ABL for our hiring needs.  The network the ABL team has across the US and Canada has been invaluable to us as we have grown our team size by almost 40%.  The team at ABL takes the time to listen to our needs, partners with us on crafting the correct job description and advises us on salary and benefits expectations in the ever changing job market. What truly sets ABL apart is that they have gone the extra mile to immerse themselves in the culture of our company so they can sell our core values and corporate culture to potential candidates.  The candidates that come through to us after ABL’s thorough vetting process meet (or exceed) the qualifications we are looking for.  We can’t say thank you to the ABL team enough for making what can be a long and arduous process a seamless and easy one.”

As a food and beverage manufacturer requiring GMP orientation for each employee beginning work at our production facility, we depended on ABL to administer, manage, and track that this documentation and training was in place for all our seasonal workers. Because ABL was able to do this from their own location, rather than have it done by my team onsite at the job, they saved us a ton of time and expense. It also helped keep our lunchroom free for our employees to use, because it wasn’t being booked every day for new employee orientations.                      

We are a meat-packing plant, and we came to understand that our existing staffing supplier was sending us undocumented workers, and was paying them cash “under the table”, putting US at risk of being solely liable for any Ministry Of Labour fines and penalties, not to mention Workplace Compensation claims. We called in ABL to help us immediately refill 40 positions with their staff, who are properly vetted, screened, and have all necessary documentation. All of this was done within 4 days, and allowed us to move forward confidently to focus on our own customers needs.
