Okanagan Staffing has recently been introduced to me and was very successful in attracting excellent candidates for my recruitment needs. They have always taken the time to fully understand my requirements before recommending candidates. I have found them to be helpful, friendly and a pleasure to do business with. Resumes are always well presented and prompt, and the quality of candidates is always good.
I would recommend Okanagan Staffing and will continue to use them in the future.

To Whom It May Concern:
I have had the pleasure of dealing with Okanagan Staffing for several years. I value the expertise they provide; particularly with the challenges the Okanagan is now experiencing with the job market.
I have found Stacy and the team at Okanagan Staffing to be very professional and responsive to our needs. Their testing and screening process is very through so they only send us qualified applicants to interview.
I highly recommend Okanagan Staffing to others seeking new employees.
Yours truly,

Dear Kevin:
Re: Okanagan Staffing Services Testimonial
I wanted to take a moment to formally put my thoughts on paper regarding the referrals I have sent you over the past several months. I trust you will utilize this letter with future strategic alliance partners whom I would strongly encourage to partner up with your organization for their mutual benefit.
Thinking back to the first time I referred one of my clients to your business to hire an Administrative Assistant I was uncertain what the outcome would be. My client had an immediate need for a position he had never had before. Because of your no risk offering, I was able to convince him to take a chance and fill the position using your service. It was very important to me that it worked out and I’m happy to say you came through with flying colors. I'm even happier to report that my client has become a raving fan of both of us.
Having experienced this success of course it has become much easier for me to refer you and I've done so with equal success many times as you know. Being a Business Coach and having spent 20 years in business prior to that, I am well aware of the numerous costs associated with hiring team members. The cost of running ads, the time it takes to interview, going back and forth and stressing over the final decision pales in comparison to the cost of making the wrong decision.
I would without hesitation, recommend any business owners to take full advantage of our service.
I thought you might like to hear what some of my clients have had to say about their experience with your placements:
“We are thrilled with the person we sourced through Okanagan Staffing Services. She has been an incredible fit with our team and has already added huge value to our business. Thanks for the referral”
Owner - Blair Husak – Blair Mechanical – Kelowna, BC
“Julie has been a great find for us. We were able to put a new skill set in place very quickly and with minimal risk. It’s really opened our eyes as to how valuable Okanagan Staffing Services can be to a growing company. Their team has been very professional and efficient. We wouldn’t hesitate to use them again. Thanks for turning us on to them.”
Owners – Sam and Jacqui Conroy – Conroy Exteriors – Kelowna, BC
“I was buried in paperwork and a slave to my email before we brought Kristine on board through Okanagan Staffing Services. They offered me an opportunity to try out a very qualified person on a temp basis without risk of further commitment. I am very impressed with the fit they were able find for me as well as the quality. She had already been interviewed and skill tested which gave me a lot of confidence. It didn’t take long for me to hire her full time and their fee was more than reasonable. Thanks for referring them to us – I never would have thought to call them and they are such a great resource.”
Owner – Greg Bauer – Navigator Multi Media – Kelowna, BC
Obviously Kevin, you have made me look very good simply by doing what you do best. Keep up the great work and I look forward to continuing our strategic alliance for many years to come. Please feel free to have anyone reading this call me as a reference.

Finding the right person for the job can be a time consuming, frustrating process. I called Okanagan Staffing Service with my list of requirements and a job description and within 2 weeks I hired one of the people they recommended. The person I hired is still with me and is a valuable member of my company. The service I received from Okanagan Staffing Service was far above my expectations. I will use their services again.
Best Regards,
