Leads Employment Services for skills development

BY LYNDA HILLMAN-RAPLEY
Lakeshore Advance staff

Guest speakers at the Grand Bend and Area Chamber meeting last week were members of Leads Employment, a no cost human resources service.

This group's mandate is to provide people with disabilities/barriers complete customer satisfaction, through quality services.

Leads Employment Services is a not-for-profit employment and skills development agency founded in 1986. They have placed more than 12,500 candidates with more than 10,000 employers.
The Employment Specialists at Leads work with a diverse range of, well-respected public, private and not-for-profit sector employers across Southwestern Ontario.
This no cost service that allows you to get an understanding of what you need from the very beginning. At Leads, they work with the employer to assess the position available, the organization requirements and the qualifications of the preferred candidate. This cuts your upfront time and saves recruitment costs. This company reviews the candidates' experience and identifies the individuals that would best fit the opportunity you are offering. They present you a shortlist of only the most qualified.

The Pinedale Motor Inn saw the great potential for this service many years ago. Mary Jo Snopko says over the last five years they have been privileged to have on our staff at least two Leads employees. "They were; and one still is at present, a valued and integral member of the Pine Dale Family. He is a multitalented individual who helps to keep our establishment running like a fine Swiss watch," she says.
