Labour Source
Labour Source has been operating in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) since 1996, serving employers and job-seekers in manufacturing, distribution, food production and related industrial sectors. The agency emphasises both temporary and full-time assignments and positions itself as a local staffing partner rather than a large multi-national franchise.
For job seekers, Labour Source offers a relatively streamlined process: an online registration, initial phone or video screening, sometimes in-person appointment (though the team works mostly remotely), and then job matching. The agency highlights its commitment to putting the candidate’s “skills + fit” first, offering competitive wages and aiming to deliver roles in proximity (GTA region) and with potential to move into longer-term employment. For example, they state that employees have moved to full-time hires after temporary placements.
For employers, Labour Source provides staffing solutions tailored to industrial and distribution operations: general labour, machine operators, warehouse workers, food-production line staff, and skilled-trade temps. Their local presence and domain familiarity in the GTA means they can respond relatively quickly to staffing demands in high-volume manufacturing and logistics operations.
Strengths of Labour Source include its longevity (over 20 years in the GTA region) and its niche focus on manufacturing/distribution/food sectors locally. This can mean faster placements, good knowledge of the regional labour market, and local servicing. On the other hand, because the operation is regionally focused (primarily GTA) and oriented toward industrial-type roles, job-seekers or employers with needs in other sectors (tech, finance, executive search, or outside the GTA) might find limited coverage. Also, as with many temp‐labour agencies, the availability of full-time conversion, the stability of assignments, and branch-to-branch consistency may vary.
In short: if you are based in or willing to work in the GTA (Toronto/Markham/Vaughan/Brampton etc.) and you are seeking a role in manufacturing, distribution, food production or general labour, or you are an employer in those sectors needing staffing support, Labour Source is a viable local choice. As always, prospects should clarify contract vs permanent status, wages, shift details, and opportunities for advancement when engaging.
