About StaffQuest Placement Group
Founded in 1995, StaffQuest Placement Group (www.staffquest.ca) began as an idea on Vancouver Island and has grown into a leading recruitment and staffing agency serving western Canada.
From Melodi Wood, Founder of StaffQuest: "When I moved to Vancouver Island with my family in 1994, we searched for a service to find qualified candidates for our business. There didn’t appear to be a company that provided the support we needed, so I thought to myself, ‘I am going to do the research and see if this is an area that I could become involved in.’ This was a concept that had to be proven over time. Today, StaffQuest has a clearly defined understanding of our hiring culture here on Vancouver Island. I am incredibly excited for the future of StaffQuest as we grow rapidly with the Enigmatic Group."
Jeremy Lumsden has joined StaffQuest Placement Group as the new Senior Recruitment Manager for its Ontario division, bringing over a decade of extensive experience in recruitment and staffing across the professional services, IT, and technology sectors.
