About Staffing

06/05/2026

We've said it before, and we'll say it again: most hiring deals don't fall apart because of money.

More often, it's timing, misalignment, or conversations that never happen the right way.

Whether you're an employer looking for top talent or a candidate exploring your next opportunity, having an experienced recruiter in your corner can make all the difference.

In our latest blog, we dive into why the best hiring outcomes don't happen by chance—and how skilled hiring partners help create alignment for everyone involved.

That's how About Staffing began in 1996.

From cold calls on the floor to interviews on a gold velour couch, our early days were built on grit, determination, and a belief that great people deserve great opportunities.

As we count down to our 30th anniversary on June 17, we're sharing some of our favourite memories from where it all began.

Thirty years later, we're still passionate about connecting exceptional people with exceptional employers. 🎉

“We found someone cheaper.”

Maybe. But what happens after the hire?

We have seen this over the years is higher turnover, missed deadlines, lower productivity and more time spent rehiring and retraining.

The reality is, many businesses end up paying more when they focus only on cutting costs instead of looking at long-term value.

A strong staffing partner doesn’t just fill roles ...they help protect your time, your team, your culture and your business growth.

Don’t lose long-term value fighting over nickels and dimes.
