More Than a Traditional Edmonton Temp Agency
In 1959, Manpower Was Referred As A Temp Agency In Edmonton.
Even today, we may still be referred to as a Calgary Temp Agency.
But the world evolved; and so did we.
A typical temp agency was utilized by clients to fill temporary positions, seasonal, and sometimes part-time opportunities. At Manpower today, we are a full-cycle human resource partner, offering end-to-end talent solutions, including workplace analysis, talent attraction strategies, client talent marketing, talent connection, career management, talent manufacturing, and full outplacement support during client transition.
In Edmonton, Manpower's first office was opened in 1959. Manpower has been connected to the market and Edmonton's top talent, developing deep and everlasting partnerships.
