History
In 1998, Tom Beechener began supplying temporary labour to the GTA market. He felt there was a gap in the market that he was determined to fill.
Tom noticed that other temporary labour suppliers were acting as if anyone could be sent to fill any temporary labour position - a trend that still exists today. Tom knew this was not true. Temporary labourers must have the skillsets and live up to the requirements of the company they are being sent to.
Tom had a better idea. Why not find out exactly what the customer needs the labourers for, and what the working environment is like, so he can send exactly the right kind of worker to suit the job. So in 2003, JustLabour was opened and Tom put his theory to the test.
Of course, this meant that JustLabour not only has to understand each project, but also has to really understand the strengths and weaknesses of their own labour pool. These were revolutionary ideas in the temporary labour market, because all this investigation and research costs extra money for each and every labourer and project. Tom believes it is money well spent.
