"I first joined the Acara team as an on-premise Talent Acquisition Specialist and worked on one of our largest aerospace and defense accounts before transitioning to a Recruiting Specialist role. These two positions helped me to learn the nuts and bolts of recruiting. I absorbed as much information as I could, knowing that these roles would ultimately propel me to take on new opportunities within the company. When I first joined Acara, the company was first starting to establish itself in the Canadian market, so I was excited to be joining a young team that was motivated to prove itself. I knew the company had such tremendous potential, and I grew committed to doing whatever I could to help the organization expand its footprint in the Mississauga area and beyond."
"My desire to get involved with a more technical staffing company led me to Acara. Right from my first conversations with the Acara team, I noticed how so many of the employees had long-term tenures with the company. It struck me that, rather than targeting candidates who were fresh out of college, Acara looked for staffing professionals with years of experience. From my initial interviews, I learned a lot about Acara’s commitment to pursuing long-term partnerships with its clients that operated in all different industries. From aerospace/defense and advanced manufacturing to semiconductor and life sciences, Acara did it all. The company’s tremendous expertise and exposure really piqued my professional interest."
