Local market
What the London market looks like.
London sits in a humid continental climate with lake effect snow that shapes work schedules from November through March. The labor market here is split between year round roles in manufacturing, healthcare, and skilled trades, and cyclical demand tied to the Western University academic calendar. Student turnover creates constant need for hospitality and retail staff in Masonville and Hyde Park. The Landlord and Tenant Board of Ontario sees steady activity tied to the large student rental district, which means property management companies and maintenance contractors need reliable workers who understand tenant rights and repair timelines. Employers compete on shift flexibility, hourly rates above minimum wage, and stable schedules. Candidates with trade tickets, forklift certification, or healthcare credentials move fast. We see tight supply in skilled trades and nursing, broader supply in general labor and hospitality.

FAQ
Common questions.
What industries do you staff in London?
We staff healthcare facilities, warehouses and logistics operations, hospitality and food service, light industrial and manufacturing plants, skilled trades contractors, and IT and office employers. London's economy includes large hospital networks, Western University, manufacturing tied to automotive and food processing, and distribution centers along the Highway 401 corridor.
