Toronto, Ontario, January 19, 2017 (Newswire.com) - In the early 1970s, Mike Duff came to Canada on a one year working holiday after graduating from a technical college in Sydney, Australia with a degree in electrical engineering. Within months, he was offered an assignment by a staffing company to work in a steel mill in Edmonton, Alberta. Surrounded by a booming economy, and with a knack for matching people with opportunities and a dream to work for himself, Duff founded the company that today celebrates 40 years in business.
Originally focusing on technical and engineering roles, Design Group Staffing Inc. (DGSI) has developed into a company that provides a wide range of staffing solutions to its Canadian clients. Duff attributes DGSI’s success to the company’s ability to continuously improve its value to customers, along with the caliber of its internal staff. The company carefully selects, trains, and supports staff, creating an environment that recruitment professionals aspire to, leading to an enviable retention rate—a key asset for both the company and its customers.
"I am very proud to be celebrating 40 years in business. Many of our clients, internal staff, and contract employees have been working together for decades."
