Why hire with us

When you partner with EMBERS Staffing Solutions, you’re not just getting great workers. You’re helping build stronger communities and changing lives.

Our Hiring Process

After meeting with a representative of our Business Development Team to understand your temporary labour needs, we will recruit and match qualified workers that get the job done right. Our Staffing Specialists personally get to know each worker, carefully screening and matching them to ensure the best fit for your needs.

Our Advantages

We Take on the Risk

We pay all employer contributions to wages (EI, CPP, WCB, holiday pay), saving you time and money.

Temp to Permanent

Our Temp-to-Permanent service offers a flexible and low-risk way to grow your team. We provide qualified temporary workers who can transition into permanent roles after a set number of hours. This reduces hiring risk, saves time on recruitment, and ensures a smoother onboarding process. For our staff, it provides a pathway to stable employment, with the chance to prove their value and become part of your team. Many of our most successful long-term placements have started through our Temp-to-Perm model, which is available across industries including hospitality, cleaning, administration, warehousing, and more.

Payroll Support

No more dealing with payroll: we take over all accounting activities.

High-Quality Workers

Our Staffing Specialists personally get to know each worker, carefully screening and matching them to ensure the best fit for your needs.

  • “EMBERS is our go-to organization for workers with short notice. Things happen daily that are last-minute changes. With EMBERS we can call and sometimes get people on the same day. When we work with EMBERS we have the option to direct hire after a certain amount of hours worked. This option makes our decision to hire easier because they have worked with our team already. This has been very successful at the New St. Paul’s Hospital project.”

    Randy Callaghan, PCL Construction, Workforce Supervisor

Working with EMBERS has allowed Darwin to provide that opportunity all while filling our project staffing needs. We believe that providing employment encompasses far beyond mere income; it embodies self-worth, friendship, and integration into a social network. Collaborating with EMBERS stands as a source of immense pride for Darwin and reflects our shared dedication to fostering social inclusion and sustainable employment.”
