Hospitality
Restaurants and hotels across Canada continue to rebuild staffing levels, creating steady demand for chefs, servers, and food service managers — particularly in urban centres and tourist regions.
Retail
Retailers are looking for reliable store-level talent, from sales associates to store managers, especially ahead of peak seasonal periods.
