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. COSTI has candidates for all industries and at all levels from entry level to professional and draws from a broad pool of highly motivated individuals.

In 2005, COSTI helped place over 10,000 people in employment in the Greater Toronto Area.
