Employer Services
Hiring the right people is critical to the success of any business. COSTI’s professional staff can connect employers to skilled and motivated candidates looking for work. COSTI takes the time to understand each employer’s unique staffing needs, find the best candidate to meet those needs and continue to monitor the placement to ensure satisfaction. All candidates are pre-screened and available for interviews so that employers can make a final decision. If training is involved, COSTI staff will assist in developing training plans and in providing ongoing assistance and support to the employer and the trainee. Employers may also be eligible to receive a training and/or wage subsidy to offset costs related to providing training opportunities.
We assist in the hiring of top talent and support the retention of candidates from diverse backgrounds . We provide free job posting service, hiring events, onboarding and ongoing employment support to ensure candidates succeed in their careers. Canada-Ontario Job Grant
