“It takes quite a crew to distribute a weekly newspaper and Jobs West has repeatedly found us the perfect candidates to help with that process. They even take the time to personally coach each candidate, ensuring an unprecedented level of reliability – not to mention adding to our paper’s sense of community.”

Jobs West has helped us bridge a need we have: making sure our open job postings and employment remain accessible to everyone … The team is helpful and friendly, but they also understand what’s possible and the constraints we might have. We have hired through our partnership with Jobs West, will continue to work together, and recommend Jobs West to other employers!
