Success Stories

I got a referral to TIPS PERSONNEL through a friend, and they've helped me secure a job. Before then, my situation was a hopeless one with no job – I tried all agencies in search of a job, but nothing was available. I was already giving up when a friend introduced me to TIPS PERSONNEL, and that was the starting point of my success story in Calgary, Alberta. TIPS linked me up with so many jobs, treated me with love, and they're very friendly. They also recommended me to a warehouse position, and I got employed permanently full-time through them. The company have been so amazing with wonderful people , all thanks to TIPS PERSONNEL. Working with you guys has been my best experience in Canada. God bless TIPS PERSONNEL, they are the best.

I was without a job for months when a friend of mine called and introduced TIPS to me. I got a job through TIPS. I was very impressed by how their workers received me whenever I called about something that I needed clarification about. Through TIPS, I’m now a full-time employee at a transportation company. I would like to say a big thank you to TIPS, and I will recommend anyone without a job and has a clean record should contact TIPS.

Before connecting with TIPS, I was struggling to find stable work despite applying for many positions online. I was under a lot of pressure, as I needed a job not only for myself but also to support my family. A friend recommended TIPS to me after hearing about my situation, and that’s when everything started to change.

TIPS gave me multiple opportunities to work and grow—helping me build skills, expand my network, and stay motivated. In early September 2024, they placed me at a building warehouse, and I immediately saw how much they value their workers. I was proud to represent TIPS and made it a priority to learn every process on the floor so I could be helpful to my supervisors and contribute positively to my team’s morale. I am now a full time employee with this warehouse.

To anyone thinking about working with TIPS—trust me, they’ll take care of you. TIPS isn’t just a staffing agency; it’s a family.

TIPS has played a very big role in my life and has given me numerous opportunities that I couldn’t have gotten anywhere else. I’ve been able to work at a wide variety of jobs and accumulated a vast amount of different skills, connections and contacts that have helped me stay afloat and keep the bills paid even when times were tough. There have been times I’ve had no idea how I’m going to pay my rent then all of a sudden I get a job that’s steady for months at a time. I’ve never been out of work with TIPS and I always tell people that TIPS will treat you right if you do the same. It’s a respect thing. Something that’s done out of faith, you could say. As far as my recent employment with a home builder company, I had actually made a plan to send out some resumes to them when I felt the time was right. However, I guess something was listening and decided to deliver earlier than I had expected because 2 weeks later TIPS gives me the call to help out on a that site and then 2 months after that I’m working full time at the best job I’ve ever had.

When I first arrived in Canada, finding a stable job was a real challenge—likely due to the growing number of newcomers competing for limited opportunities. Although I had already registered with several staffing agencies, I was barely getting more than 16 hours of work per week. Everything changed the day a friend asked me to pick up an item for him at TIPS Personnel. That simple errand turned out to be a turning point. After giving me a chance with a few jobs, the team at TIPS quickly recognized my dedication, strong work ethic, and reliability. I never backed out of assignments, and I always gave my best.

TIPS kept connecting me with different workplaces to help me find one that truly suited my skills and interests. That’s how I eventually landed at the current warehouse I work for. Long story short—in less than 8 months since I started working through TIPS, I surpassed the low-income threshold and was hired on directly with the warehouse. If you’re hardworking and in search of financial stability, I highly recommend TIPS Personnel. They don’t just find you a job—they help you build a future

I wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank the entire team at TIPS, everyone who has supported me throughout my journey in Calgary.

In 2021, I moved from Montreal to Calgary with a FedEx transfer role, which was only a part-time night shift. During the day, I worked as a head chef in a restaurant, but eventually left that position. After that, I took on a 5-month contract with Amazon. Later, I joined 7-Eleven, which became a turning point in my life. While the job started off fine, the situation changed drastically and I found myself doing tasks like cleaning and picking up garbage outside all day. I remember feeling quite disheartened, especially knowing the professional roles I had held back in Montreal.

That’s when I decided to search online for a better opportunity and found TIPS. I walked into the office and had the chance to speak with the team, who was incredibly helpful. I clearly explained my interest in management or logistics roles and that I wanted something meaningful and long-term. Soon after, I received a call from TIPS about a role related to my background. I had a phone interview with the supervisor of the client TIPS wanted to place me with, followed by a meeting with the company owner. I was upfront and told them I’d do my best. I received great training, and within a short time, I was trusted to manage three locations as Operations Manager — truly a dream job.

Thanks to TIPS, I was able to gain valuable leadership experience, manage multiple warehouses, hire skilled forklift drivers, and build strong trust within the company. Unfortunately, due to the 2024 recession, the company had to shut down its Calgary operations, and I was laid off. Once again, I reached out to TIPS, and the team helped me get a forklift role at the company I am with now . I interviewed with the supervisor, who was impressed by my experience with warehouse operations and WMS software. Although it was a forklift position, I accepted it, worked hard, and after a year, was hired full-time.

I truly appreciate everything TIPS has done for me. Every time I’ve needed help, the team has been there with an opportunity.

Here are a few more that came in over the weekend!

After cntacting so many employment agencies when I first came to Calgary and calling every day for almost a month with no results, a friend introduced TIPS to me. The first day I went to TIPS, they received me gently and gave me a job just 3 days after registration. I was sent to a company where I worked for 2 days and they later sent me to a different company where I worked for 3 months and then I was being hired as a permanent worker, full time. Without TIPS Personnel, I'm not sure I would've have gotten a full-time permanent job. My thanks are to TIPS for the role they played in my life. I will suggest TIPS Personnel to anyone who is in search of a  job, they paid their employees well too.

My time with TIPS was exceptionally rewarding. Their professional and welcoming team consistently provided diverse job opportunities. During those jobs, I was able to meet a variety of interesting people, some of whom later became friends. The flexible work schedule was a major plus, but the greatest benefit was acquiring numerous new and useful skills across different jobs. Overall, my experience with TIPS was enriching, both professionally and personally.

I got a call from TIPS one day to supply me with temporary work. The experience was great and they paid well. The girls in the office were wonderful to deal with and the the whole process was easy and positive! After working with the same company temporarily for a while, they offered full time employment with a raise. I'm currently working for that home builder as a field technician thanks to TIPS, Kate and the girls in the office. I would definitely work through TIPS again!

I  relocated from Ontario to Alberta. The job I transferred for did not work  out. I contacted TIPS Personnel for work, initially thinking it would be temporary. As it turned out, I found the full time job that I now have. Wouldn't have done that without TIPS. Many thanks for that.  

One of the best employment agencies in Calgary. I came from Ontario, almost 2 months were gone, no reply for jobs from anywhere. I applied to so many companies for jobs. I registered with TIPS on a Thursday and I was working on the following Monday. Quite responsive staff. They even stay in touch over the phone for any query or help. 100% recommended.

TIPS is the best agency I've ever worked with. Before October 2021, I was struggling to find work. I was working with another agency, and I had to use my right to refuse unsafe work at multiple sites, or the locations would have aggressive staff, or the contracts offered were on day to day notice with no set hours. The pay was decent at one site, but the rest were bare bones minimum. When I got fed up, I went to TIPS. It was across the city, so a little inconvenient to travel to, but once I ended up making the trip, it was completely worth it.

To start, the staff are extremely kind, accommodating, and understanding. When you speak with them, you get the sense that they want nothing more than for you to succeed and grow. They care about you. Secondly, if you show them that you can work hard and are determined to succeed, then they'll do what they can to offer you the best contract. Lastly, they offer quality jobs. I only ever had to take one contract with them, because after my 400 hours were completed, the company hired me on directly. It's a job with easy travel from home, I get paid well, and most of all I enjoy the work, it suits me.

If you work hard and want a good job, go to TIPS. They will do everything they can to get you on the path to success!

My name is Max, I have enjoyed working with TIPS for a while now. They have been excellent at providing work and I have had the opportunity to grow and develop my trade skills with different types of positions.

I have now been working consistently with one of the regular companies and I am hoping to get hired on once I have completed my hours.

I would recommend anyone needing work to join this company.

I started working for TIPS in the midst of COVID. Even with little experience, they were kind enough to give me a shot.

A few months later - I am now working towards getting hired on full time for one of their clients. Very grateful to have been part of the team, much love.

I came to TIPS in dire need of work, not having much success anywhere else. I was also going through a troubled time. The wonderful ladies at TIPS had me going out to jobs the very next day! I provided them solid service and they provided me all the work I needed. Eventually, I was put on a job where I kept going back long enough, they eventually offered me a job!

If you're looking for solid work and willing to return the favour, by delivering the type of service you'd want to see someone put in to you're own company, if you were to have one - TIPS is the perfect place for you!

These ladies are a wonderful bunch! Full of compassion and willing to put in that effort to ensure you're getting the money you need. I've tried many different temporary agencies, TIPS is the ONLY one that ever made me feel like I was a human being, not just another number in this world. Not just other temp agencies, the vast majority of work places could really learn how to massively improve their companies through these ladies at TIPS.

My name is Ara. When I started with TIPS, I thought there was no chance of getting hired at any company because I was going to different job sites all the time. But I can’t say enough good things about the staff.

From start to finish, everyone was so helpful and kind. They motivated me to never give up and check it out before deciding to say no, and that’s exactly what I did. I am now hired on with an amazing company through TIPS and I love what I do.

I am very grateful and appreciative that I got the help and support from such an incredible team at TIPS Personnel.

My name is Thomas, and I was a team member of TIPS Personnel.

Before TIPS, I had a full time job. It was an alright gig. However after 10 years of the same game, day in-day out, I needed a change - I needed a challenge. So I went back to school and I gathered a handful of tickets. I tried getting back into the work force but couldn't due to the lack of experience. Turns out, although you’re certified and trained.... Companies want experience rather than proof of tickets. Though tickets and experience can take you to amazing places, I only had a part of the equation and I couldn't succeed directly in what I wanted to do.

So instead of staying at home and collecting CERB, I decided to join TIPS, where for the last 6 months or so I've been to maybe 6 different places. I worked hard, I put effort into my work and always had a good attitude. I proved myself and lo and behold, I'm now full-time at one of the places I worked at. I got to say, it's a wonderful feeling. It's always great getting a job you wanted, and already have experience in.

This door I walked throw has many, many doors that I can continue to grow and excel. Maybe, just maybe, I will never need to find another job again. I still and always will push myself to being better than I was yesterday! I always put my best foot forward even in unexpected or inexperienced situations! I may not always have the answers but I'm always willing to learn!

I hope this inspires someone else wanting to be the change. Change requires ACTION!!
