Human Resources Solutions for Small Businesses in the Hamilton Area
FREE MARKETING OPPORTUNITY FOR LOCAL HR CONSULTANTS

The Hamilton Training Advisory Board, a community-based organization supporting labour force development in Hamilton, is currently updating their highly successful publication, Human Resource Services for Hamilton. Created as a directory of services for local businesses, this publication has been very well received by employers across the community. Now, after several years, the directory is in need of updating and revision to ensure that employers are able to access accurate information on HR services available in Hamilton.

In the last edition, we had over 100 individual consultants in a user-friendly handbook covering the full HR services required by employers. Some of the services outlined in this publication include staffing, compensation and benefits, training and development.

At this time, HTAB invites all HR Consultants in the Hamilton area to take part in the second edition of this publication. As before, this directory will be made available free of charge to employers across Hamilton as a hard copy and are anticipating to have this publication available in a web-based format. The directory is divided into specific HR categories, containing contact information and a short description of specialties provided by local HR consultants. If you would like to be involved, please contact Rachelle Moore no later than July 20th, 2009 at:
