Get Started
The employer toolkit resources gave me a lot of confidence and tools to use especially for young people. The on-boarding resources gave the young recruits a bit more insight of the workplace expectations as well because it was all written down for them. I would recommend this to other small business, recruitment is the hardest thing to do but it is the most important thing to do
