"I have found DWP to be extremely professional, honest and reliable in providing search services to my firm.

Their follow-up is impeccable and the time they took to know my organizational culture was appreciated - resulting in an excellent hire for a management position. I would use them 'in a heartbeat' for future needs and love how they keep me  'in the loop' on available top talent."

"As a staffing industry professional, I would highly recommend DWP Employment Group not only to companies seeking to hire, but also to individuals looking for a career change. Deborah Whelan-Payne and her team are truly ambassadors for the staffing industry and are professional at what they do. Deborah and I worked on a number of employment opportunities and ultimately she introduced me to a wonderful organization that offered a position which is challenging, interesting and rewarding. The process of career transition can often be a difficult and stressful one, but with Deborah's support and assistance every step of the way. The move into my new role was uncomplicated and trouble free.

  ______________

"I just wanted to send a quick thank you for all you have done for me. I can't believe how well things worked out. I love what I am doing! Its a perfect fit for me. You certainly know what you are doing and your intuition has worked well for you, your client and myself.

I won't hesitate to mention to others about the great service that you have provided before the interview and even I started. You were there to ensure that I was ready to start and make sure that I was comfortable with my position once I started. Thanks again for everything." Lillian M

"I just wanted to thank you both for the interview, opportunity, and experience today.  I really enjoyed talking with you.   Even though our meeting was very professional, I felt like I met some 'friends' and discussed business, rather than I met some 'representatives' from a company.  On my way home I was thinking, "Once I get a job, does that mean I won't be able to see them again?"  I fully understand why you have such positive testimonials on the DWP web site  Karen, you are a perfect fit for the DWP culture, values and work ethic - but I am sure you will here that a lot.  I will be talking about our meeting to as many people as I can, to spread the good word about DWP.  I hope that I can provide people the same experience you both gave me.  To be honest, I wish it was your company that was hiring and I could join your team." Marcel V

"Once again, I wanted to thank you and the team for the dedicated level of professionalism and incredible service you gave me in my job search. I can honestly refer your agency to any one as the most dedicated recruiting team I have had the pleasure of being represented by. I personally have learned a lot from your approach to business and I’m sure my future clients will be satisfied with my work if I’m even half as efficient and warm as you are. Thank you very much for believing in me and representing me."

"Working with the team at DWP Employment Group has been a pleasure. During a time that is considered by most, to be one of high stress, Deborah Whelan-Payne and her team of professionals made it easy for me to become the successful candidate, as Regional Director. With experience, skill and the amazing ability to ask the right questions, allowed the team to make my experience with them all as painless as possible. I believe my words to Deborah were, 'head and shoulders above the rest'! In my many years as a professional, there have been very few times that I have had the privilege and delight to work with such a team of people.  DWP Employment Group solves the problems facing many businesses and individuals from varied walks of life. Bottom line, they do so with skill, the experience of understanding the multi-issues to be resolved, along with the “human touch” that delivers results, fast! In summary, the DWP team approaches all of their activities in a highly competent manner and brings a wide range of experience and contacts to solving problems, often in an innovative manner. I wouldn’t hesitate to use the services of this organization."

Anne-Marie A

"Thanks very much for all the info and prep you did for me Karen. It has been nothing but a pleasure from day one so THANKS very much.

You are my hero Karen. Take care!"

Ryan R

"Your service model is in such stark contrast to the recruiter that I have recently contacted.  Their approach is basically 'if you see something on our web site give us a call ”

Rick R.

"Thanks a million Deborah! I just knew that you had a very good insight of the person I really am and saw my potential. This is why you're great at what you do.... I walked away more confident and inspired.......you've made a major impact in my life. You're a role model in your own right!"

Juliet C.

" I really respect the way everyone at DWP has made sure to listen, ask questions and to take seriously what my needs and wishes are.  When I think about the term "boutique" on the web site, I envision just what is delivered - a respectful, accepting approach in which the client and the agency partner their strengths to achieve a successful match.  I am grateful not to be made to feel pressured and instead to be able to go at my own pace.  I think I may be either unique (which I doubt) or, more likely, a representative of a niche market, where DWP would perform well, as it fits in with the company's mission and that is, to gently pull older, seasoned, people, referred to as the Baby Boomers, back into the workforce by making re-entry a less scary, bumpy, more palatable proposition.  I look forward to working with you again when I am more settled. Thanks again to DWP for your support."

"From my personal previous experience working with the DWP Employment Group back in September 2007, I was very pleased to find that your team of professionals have a very unique approach to every candidate and you will make a real difference in peoples lives."

"What a pleasure it was meeting with you last week.  After our meeting I was actually optimistic about finding a job which I haven’t been in quite some time.  You gave me hope that there is a job out there for me and you will find it."

Heather A.

"I just wanted to tell you what a pleasure it was talking to you today.  I am just starting my job search and already had a few not very enjoyable phone calls, but my phone call with you today was professional, courteous and a pleasure for me. Glad there are a few people in the Toronto area who still seem to understand the staffing profession."

Jeff M.

" I would like to take this opportunity to say what a pleasure it has been to work with you and your team.  The service I received after submitting my application for the Recruiter position was unbelievably prompt and very friendly.  I really felt, at all times, that my application was in good hands and that my success was important to your agency.  I truly believe that you had my best interests at heart and I cannot thank you enough for that!  Your staff are amazing and were always so friendly…I never felt like a bother!  Trust me when I say that good service is hard to find these days and your agency provided "world class" service to me. I was very impressed with the professional and social aspects of the company, and I look forward to continuing the hiring process with them."

Jackie T.

"Deborah, I will always remember you for this special consideration and effort. Seriously you have been working harder than me to put myself to work! Appreciate it. Tons of Thanks!"

Joy

"Deborah, I just wanted to send you a quick note to thank you for the time you spent with me today. I am looking forward to pursuing the opportunities you are providing me. I appreciate your passion for what you do, and I will be the first to say that the entrepreneurial world needs more strong leaders such as yourself who can use their influence and abilities for good. Thanks again".
