Our Story
In 1995 an idea on Vancouver Island sparked a legacy. Here's our story.
From Melodi Wood, Founder of StaffQuest.
A service built from community need.
When I moved to Vancouver Island with my family in 1994, we searched for a service that would assist us in finding qualified candidates for our own existing business. There did not appear to be a company that provided us with the same support we used in Vancouver.
I thought to myself, "I am going to do the research and see if this is an area that I could become involved in. Maybe I could open up a business with the emphasis of searching for great quality employees for other companies."
I quickly became convinced that it was a great way to learn about and contribute to our new community. StaffQuest was borne of an in-depth feasibility study, hours of intense research, and an inordinate amount of dedication and tenacity.
At that time, our community had not realized the benefits of using a service such as ours. This was a concept that had to be proven over time. We learned lasting lessons through trial and error, and today StaffQuest has a clearly defined understanding of hiring culture on Vancouver Island and beyond.
