What past exhibitors have to say about the expo
“It’s great, it’s impressive to see the turn out, the interest that is shown by citizens of the UK. There’s a lot of enthusiasm, a lot of interest. People are coming here well prepared, they’ve got questions in mind and they want to understand processes.”
The Honourable Hector Goudreau, Alberta’s Minister of Employment and Immigration
“I would recommend the event to people. I’ve found the attendees have been very focused, they have come specifically to our stand knowing what they want to talk about. People have done their homework.”
Grant Weinberg, Associate Director for Talent Acquisitions, Gilead Sciences
"We have exhibited with Working In on numerous occasions over the past four years and have found them to be extremely well organised and have an ability to generate a high calibre of applicants through their advertising."
Rachel Baldy, Hays Globalink
“The expo is going quite well for us, this morning phenomenally well. I brought 300 cards and those disappeared in the first two hours, and we’ve already had to send out twice to get photocopies made because I only brought 200 copies of application forms. If I was a Canadian organisation looking at recruiting I think this would be an excellent opportunity.”
Daniel J Reiniger, Director, Canadian Medical Recruitment Agency
“What we found is that engineers from the UK are very well trained – they know their stuff – and that is of huge importance to us.”
David Rempel, Manager, Wardrop
“It’s been very busy, and we’ve seen a lot of candidates, both in Leeds and London.”
Neil Bowker, Workforce Strategies PCL
“To be here today is an excellent business opportunity for us, but it’s also an excellent opportunity for these people.”
David Kerns, Moneycorp
“PSS International are once again impressed with the number of serious migrants that the Working In Opportunities Abroad / Health Jobs Around the World Expos have attracted. We have been exhibiting with Working In since the outset, and can attest to the fact they have their finger on the pulse and always get the right people through the doors. The operations team on the ground never fails to impress. Thank you and see you again next year!”
Susan J Corke, PSS International Removals
“I think people in the UK make a natural transition into Canada based on cultural similarities. I would definitely recommend this show for Ontario companies looking to recruit workers from any field. I have been really amazed at the quality of the applicants here. We have seen a number of really skilled workers.”
Victoria Phillips, Ministry of Economic Development & Trade, Ontario
“This has been a fantastic show; this has been much busier than I thought it was going to be. The quality of the people matched my expectations.”
Chloe Cartwright, Century 21 Estate
“It has been excellent. I never expected to turn around and see a queue going around the corner by our table.”
Caroline Fairman, Engineering Business Manager, Beresford Blake Thomas
