In the face of ongoing labour shortages in the foodservice industry and the struggle to recruit the right talent, Restaurants Canada is proud to announce its new partnership with Thomas International, who have since 1981 helped over 32,000 companies worldwide recruit, retain and develop the right people for their business.

“Many businesses today struggle to find the right talent. Through these straightforward, easy to understand assessments, we hope to give those who do any type of hiring a leg up to ensure they are recruiting the right people for the position,” said Christopher Barry, Director of Membership at Restaurants Canada.
