How We Work With You

Our strategy is simple - local knowledge and relationships!  Our success is renowned throughout the Sea to Sky corridor because we know and understand the distinguishing characteristics to running a business and living in Whistler.  We have built successful relationships through a commitment to quality staffing and retention solutions and superior service.  It is our job to make sure both client and candidate thrive with a perfect fit.  No longer enough to just find the 'star' in this scarce talent pool, we can also work with you to determine outsourcing strategies ensuring your company is the employer of choice.

What Makes Us Different?
Whistler is a business community with unique challenges for those calling it home. Whistler's Personnel Solutions is locally owned and operated by Cathy Goddard, a resident since 1988, whose expertise, energy and enthusiasm is unsurpassed. With a commitment to providing an honest and service-oriented approach, Cathy is dedicated to understanding the distinguishing characteristics  of Whistler's business culture.

In an age of online resume banks where the approach is often quantity not quality, this local perspective, along with our personalized approach and uncompromised focus on superior service, makes WPS stand above the rest.

People - Value - Contacts

People...
WPS is in the business of recruiting 365 days a year.  Our strategies encompass (but are not restricted to) placing effective recruitment ads, conducting interviews testing skills and checking references.  Our resume bank has hundreds of applicants that include active and passive job seekers that might miss your ad but would consider the right opportunity. These individuals count on Whistler's Personnel Solutions to be their ears and eyes. How many people with that extra spark and skill set are missed because their resume doesn't highlight those qualities?  We interview those applicants and realize the potential that may not be apparent on paper.  In a competitive market with a scarce talent pool, we dig that much deeper to bring you the star candidates.

Value..
The cost of a bad entry-level hire can be a staggering $10,000 or more - a range ten times what it was twenty years ago. Can you afford to hire the wrong person? Spend your time talking ONLY to qualified, interested applicants. By the time we present you with candidates, they have been screened, tested  - complete with reference checks - and, most important, are truly interested in your position. We give them other options - if they get to you, it's a genuine interest in being a part of your team. That's value!

Contacts..
It's our combination of local expertise plus contacts that gets the job done. Recognizing that, we have selected agency contacts in Vancouver with the same strong service ethics and unique 'value-added' approach. With their extensive contacts and reputation in the Vancouver market, they are natural choices to broaden our recruiting efforts.  And above all else - we know Whistler! Our business community is unique and we are up front with job seekers about the hurdles - and joys -  of living in Whistler. This eliminates surprises for both employer and employee.
