great place to start your career, not great for long term
recruitment and training coordinator (Former Employee) - Etobicoke, ON - 20 October 2022
Indeed featured review
The most useful review selected by IndeedOverall, this company is great for new grads in learning the basics of recruitment, applicant tracking and customer service. This company pays far below industry standard let alone a living wage. Management and executive leadership, although friendly are out of touch with some of the challenges in office and needs of the staff. They have not worked to create a safe space for employees to voice their concerns nor have they done the real work in creating a desirable workplace. Often times, management prefer to stick with old faithful methods which are out dated and no longer add value but create longer more painful processes. There really is so much potential here, the preseident of the company is a very smart and capable individual they just need to pay more attention and inspire management to have an open mind to innovation. Oh and pay a fair wage that is inline with a living wage.
Pros
Great learning experience for new grads.
Cons
Low salary, no room for growth, very basic benefits

I'd love to work with your team, amazing staff at any placement and an all around great experience for full time work to get into a better position. The pay has increased and is worth it once settled in!

Just another temp agency
Assembler (Former Employee) - St. Thomas, ON - 21 May 2021
The manager in the office is a complete amatuer (They've gone through a few). This is essentially St. Thomas' new Express Personal for local factories
Pros
Good enough to make a little money with little to no hiring from local companies
Cons
Everything

Temp Job
Labourer/Operator (Current Employee) - St. Thomas, ON - 23 June 2020
Worked in a temp job for HCR making car parts. Good pay and steady hours. Didn't have a lot of interaction with the office staff once I started but when I did I didn't have any problems. I have worked for a couple temp agencies before and found HCR to be the most professional one.
Pros
free coffee, good food, safe work environment, steady work
Cons
hot environment

this is a temp job
Machine Operator/Labourer (Former Employee) - St. Thomas, ON - 9 February 2020
friendly staff good pay. just not enough work at the moment they need to get more clients... great for learning new skills mostly suited for students . I made the mistake of quitting my full time job to work here for better pay in the long run should have kept my other job .now I don't even have rent money so I got an eviction notice and getting close to losing my car for not being able to make payments

Good for short term income
Production Associate (Current Employee) - St. Thomas, ON - 1 October 2019
it's a production job and the expectation is that you will be there to handle production when they require your services. As a temporary worker you are bounced from job to job if your good or stuck in one spot if you are not so good
Pros
free coffee and juice!
Cons
low pay and no guarantee of work

Jobs at HCR Personnel Solutions Inc.
Year & a half of Chaos & stress
Production Worker (Former Employee) - St. Thomas, ON - 26 September 2019
I worked for HCR at an Auto industry factory for a year, had my contract extended a short time, then was completely screwed for EI by them not doing their own job, to complete my ROE within 5 business days. They eventually sent me to another factory, which didn't last long as the people there didn't even want me. They then sent me to another job that after a few weeks, became part time work 1-3 days a week. I rarely had a full week, & could not find other work always being on call.
I found HCR to be good when I had a reliable job, but after the first year, it's just a huge headache

Decent Agency
Production Worker (Current Employee) - St. Thomas, ON - 26 April 2019
I have worked for a couple temp agencies and this company is by far the best. They pay the highest wages, actually giving you more than minimum wage. The office staff seem to know what they are doing. They assign you to a place to work and it's up to you what you make out of it.
Pros
cafeteria, higher paying
Cons
overtime

I was blown away by the staff at HCR that helped me gain employment. Very friendly and informative. They found work that was suitable based on my experience. Then environment at the factory was good, I liked my team/leader and the plant was clean and well lit. Looking forward to my next assignment - thank you HCR!
