“I recently had the pleasure of being contacted by Morgan at Y&A Recruitment Professionals concerning a new opportunity.  During the entire process Morgan was a pleasure to work with.  She was genuinely interested in getting to know me and what excited me about a position.  She took the time to listen and thoroughly understand my background, skills and desired career path.  Only after we had this dialogue was she able to ensure I was the right fit for the organization and she guided me through the interview process.  Morgan was able to answer questions and provide thoughtful guidance and always provided feedback and updates on the process.  Morgan’s outgoing personality allowed us to develop a great relationship and made the entire process a pleasure.  I would have no hesitation in recommending Morgan to any candidate looking for recruiter to assist them.”

I would like to extend a heartfelt thank-you to Morgan and Jocelyn for helping me secure my position with WestJet. The Y&A team guided me through each step of the recruiting process in a seamless fashion. They made the experience as stress-free as possible and ensured that every question I had was addressed. In particular, I appreciated the team's attention to detail and ability to understand me as a person; they took the time to truly listen to what I wanted in a position. I have dealt with recruiters in the past, and no other firm exhibited this personal and caring touch. Not only were they able to recognize that I was right for the job, but that the job was right for me. I am truly grateful to have dealt with such diligent, organized and knowledgeable professionals.

Morgan was a phenomenal 'recruiter' to work with. She helped me land my first industry job and was excellent throughout the entire recruitment process. What I admired most of Morgan was her passion and drive to find the 'perfect fit' job - as opposed to just filling a quota. She was always available when required and was completely reliable from start to finish. I would recommend anyone to Morgan on a go forward basis.

I have had the pleasure of working with Morgan and using her services as my recruiter for the past four years. Morgan takes a genuine interest in her clients' needs and will always ensure that the fit between client and candidate is the right one. She was never pushy and did a phenomenal job of ensuring I was comfortable with the process every step of the way. Morgan is exceptionally professional and does a great job at building and maintaining relationships. I would highly recommend Morgan to any candidate searching for a honest, professional recruiter, and to any organization searching for a recruiter who will ensure organizational fit is a top priority.

Morgan and the Y&A team have been in my corner since very early in my career. In my case, I was looking for a certain type of role and  was willing to wait for it.  Morgan was completely in tune with what I was looking for and was as patient and uncompromising as I was in her search.  She recruited me for a manager role at Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment, a great role at a great company!  

Having a CMA accreditation, I get lots of calls from head hunters offering me all kind of jobs, telling me that I would be a perfect fit even though we’ve never met before. With Y&A, the experience was totally different.When Melanie first called me, she insisted on meeting with me. When we did, I knew right from the start that finally I had somebody in front of me who wasn’t trying to take advantage, somebody who really had my best interest at heart. Instead of the usual interview process where they go trough everything that’s already written down on the resume, she wanted to know about ME. We discussed my interests and my dislikes in order to approach me with opportunities she knew I could be interested in. Their level of professionalism really is one of a kind: they prepare you before you go on interview and give you constructive feedback afterwards. They always make you feel like you’re not alone in this, like you have their total support. Even when there were no positions available, I would get a call now and then just to touch base. When the Y&A team found me a great job after a year, we had built such a relationship over the months that we had to go for drinks to celebrate! That’s the kind of service they provide: professionalism with a touch of friendly kindness. Big thanks to the whole team!

I worked with Melanie as a candidate for one of her open positions. She was easy to work with, reliable, and very understanding of my needs and the fit with her client. I would not hesitate to work with her again for a mandate in my new role.

I would like to sincerely thank Jocelyn and the entire Y&A team for their persistence and professional manner. They understood what my experiences and career aspirations were. Given they specialize in financial accounting, their contacts with quality clients ensured my career aspirations would be met. They had no interest in selling me a job that I really did not want. Their focus was to search the marketplace until they identified the right fit for both parties. My experience with Y&A has been great, and even greater at Molson. I am already moving up the ladder in this great organization. Keep up the great work!

Y&A is a recruitment service that goes beyond expectations. The team is friendly, understanding and genuinely honest. They take the time to get to know you as a person and maintain contact with you throughout the hiring process and long after you’ve got the job. I was thoroughly impressed with the time and dedication Rosie and Jocelyn showed in making sure the job they were recruiting me for would fit with me, meet my goals and provide me with a work environment I could thrive in. It’s never easy leaving an employer for another opportunity, but Y&A made sure the process was discreet, professional and maybe a little more comfortable.

Thank you Rosie, Jocelyn and the entire Y&A team for your support!

In the current hectic work environment, it is difficult to find recruitment firms that are really listening to candidates and their needs. Y&A Recruitment, however, is part of this restricted group. Focusing on long term career development objectives, Jocelyn and her staff are better able to satisfy her clientele, candidates and potential employers alike; and this, in a very professional manner. Furthermore, Y&A Recruitment’s casual and no nonsense approach also permits to defuse the stress sometimes associated with job search. Over the course of an on and off seven year relationship with this organization, I have never been disappointed, every time ending up facing new and interesting challenges.
