EMPLOYER TESTIMONIALS

“We have really enjoyed partnering with KIS and working with their team. I am grateful for the partnership we have and really enjoyed doing the City of Kamloops presentation for their clients.”
Kristina Rios, Human Resources Supervisor, City of Kamloops
“As part of Connective Support Society’s ongoing community engagement and recruitment activities, I have had the pleasure of working collaboratively with the Employer Advisor and her team Kamloops Immigrant Services on numerous occasions.
The KIS team has been instrumental in expanding our agencies exposure to newcomers to Canada and, specifically, the Kamloops-Thompson region. Working together, we have been able to source qualified candidates much more efficiently than through traditional channels.
I would highly recommend Kamloops Immigrant Services to any organization looking for support in hiring newcomer immigrant employees.”
Chris Connelly, Senior Manager of People & Culture, Connective
“KIS Employment Engagement Services made it easy to increase the number of qualified applicants, helping us meet our recruitment needs – and they make it easy! Their program doesn’t require immense paperwork, and the assistance is extremely valuable.
The Employer Advisor has been very helpful in offering resources, information, and guidance for our new hires – very relevant supports for the diverse employees and for our organization. She understands our business needs and has successfully referred suitable applicants who remain valuable employees to this day.
I highly recommend Kamloops Immigrant Services to any employer seeking new applicants or for supports to better understand the diverse needs of new hires.”
Mary Roach, Director of People & Culture, Delta Hotel by Marriot Kamloops
