Employer Testimonials
Meet some of our past and present valued employer partners, whose collaboration and support help drive our mission forward and create a lasting impact.
"As a new organization, we were unsure as to how to reach our potential hires before building our online presence. A friend recommended Nova Scotia Works Career Connections, and I'm so grateful she did! Within 24 hours of our first conversation, Ann had two job posts on the site and ready for us to share. We had dozens of excellent applicants, and were able to find people who might not have otherwise heard of these opportunities. I highly recommend reaching out to their awesome team!'

As an employer in the long term care sector, we rely on organizations such as Nova Scotia Works to support our ongoing staffing and recruitment efforts.
The staff at the Pictou County NS Works location are truly an amazing group of individuals with such compassion and dedication for their communities and the businesses they support.
I connected with our partners at NS Works and we organized and hosted a job fair to help with our staffing needs at our Valley View Villa Location and they went above and beyond to assist us as their client.
A huge thank you to their kindness and generosity to support employers such as our organization in the area and I am so grateful to have their continued support.

My team and I at Sobeys Westside in New Glasgow had several job positions posted online, and we were so excited to be able to partner with Career Connections to further extend our reach into the local community! Ann was fantastic to work with and provided top notch recruitment support by drafting postings that their clients could better connect with. We had numerous applicants and interviews that came out of the collaboration, and we are looking forward to linking up again with future hiring endeavours!

Ann and the team at Nova Scotia Works are always so friendly and professional. They have helped me many times over the years putting out ads for positions I am hiring for. And the quality of their work is excellent.
