As a well established employment service, we are so proud to have such a wonderful track record of positive experiences stemming from both our clients, employers and homeowners!

As part of our hiring process, we carefully screen workers and only refer those who are qualified, reliable and keen to do the best job possible for the businesses and homeowners who are looking for help through our services.

A little while back, we had the pleasure of speaking to Dan who hired workers through our Casual labour Pool and had this to say about his experience:

"I will call Wendy up at the Labour Pool and she calls back usually within that day and says I can have someone here, I can have these four guys here for you, names numbers, how to get ahold of them. So, if I call her on a Thursday I can have them by Monday. We usually have them in fairly early, 6:00 in the morning is our general time so, they show up, we pay them at the end of the day and they do the work as discussed, its great!"

We are so lucky to work with wonderful people and truly look forward to continuing to expand our relationships with businesses and individuals!

Pollination - an essential ecological function of our Earth and something that we help sustain in our back yards!

Some of the amazing benefits of flowering plants fostered by pollinators include:
- Produce oxygen
- Purify water
- Prevent erosion
- Our livelihood depends on them!

Here are some tips and tricks to help the little guys on their pollination journeys
1. Pick a sunny spot sheltered from wind
2. Choose flowers with a variety of colours, shapes and sizes
3. Provide water! Pollinators get thirsty too, especially in summer, so leave a little dish or birdbath of water (with some stones to perch on)

If you are looking to optimize your garden for pollinators and need a helping hand, you can hire a temporary worker for a couple of hours through our Casual Labour Pool to help you make your garden a pollinator oasis!

You can temporarily hire a worker through our employment services for a day or two to help you with all of these odd-job tasks around the home, and you will be helping someone while you're at it!
