Longo's

Longo’s, a family-owned organization, is an independent and unique grocery retailer that prides itself on family values. It first opened its doors in Toronto in 1956 and now has 23 stores employing more than 3,000 people across the GTA.

Under heavy time constraints to staff their new flagship location in the heart of Maple Leaf Square, Longo’s turned to MindField Group to provide timely and effective recruitment services for a variety of grocery roles.

Industries We Work With

Retail

Most of us interact with retailers on daily basis and most of the time their employees are the ones who make or break a purchase situation. As Oscar Wilde said, "You never get a second chance to make a first impression." When people are willing to pay more, drive further, and recommend you to their friends because of an excellent customer service experience, it means everything to retailers, especially small businesses.

So how do you find these amazing people? MindField's retail hiring services provide a constant source of fresh faces who fit your culture and needs, and bring passion to the work they do every day. From apparel to consumer lending, electronics and appliances to paint and hardware, food service, home furnishings, sporting goods, and more, we'll find you the best retail candidates quickly.

Grocery

Recently, a leading Canadian grocery retailer discussed their hiring process. Source far and wide, narrow down the best candidates, phone screen, and then send them in-store for a final interview. Pretty standard, right? But, and there is a but, candidates are not only screened on their skill set and qualifications, they also have to fit the company's corporate culture and be ambassadors for the brand. This gets a little tricky when you're trying to find consistent best-fit candidates nationwide.

What's a grocery retailer to do then? Easy, contact MindField. Our grocery hiring services eliminates the but and supplies a steady regional flow of applicants across your entire store network. Not convinced? Well, we've done it time and time again with Canada's largest grocers.

Automotive

Today, more than ever before in the automotive industry, you must have managers, salespeople, service technicians, and administrative assistants that can maximize results, plan for the future, and embrace change and technology, all while delivering top-notch customer service, regardless of whom they're dealing with on a daily basis. So you need the top people, but where are they? More often than not, they're working for your competitors or in a more lucrative industry (*cough*oil and gas*cough*).

How do you compete? By choosing the right partner in MindField. Our automotive hiring services have helped Canada's leading automotive supply and service retailers find these scarce resources and design their recruitment activities to attract and retain the best people. Take us for a test drive, and you won't be sorry.

Food Service & Restaurants

One of the greatest concerns in the food service and restaurant industries over the past decade has been the lack of qualified managers and hourly employees available across Canada, but especially in high-growth areas like Northern Alberta. Potential employees are turning away from the industry for other traditionally higher paying sectors, and companies are left scratching their heads on what to do.

We'll tell you what to do. MindField's food service and restaurant hiring services are designed to fit the unique needs of quick service, casual, sit-down, and other food service establishments regardless of cuisine, price point, or target market. Whether you have one, two, twenty, or two hundred establishments, we'll help you find passionate, customer service focused employees.
