Our story

Built for a staffing agency that was drowning in paper

At Resonant Business Solutions Inc., we’ve always been committed to using technology to solve hard problems. When a staffing agency asked us to build HR software for the skilled trades and labour sector, we saw the chance to do exactly that.

The agency was losing time and money managing its skilled workforce. With a clunky, manual process, it took days and even weeks to place candidates in roles. Recruiting meant stacks of paper files and endless phone calls, and that was before anyone was shortlisted. Checking each candidate’s qualifications by hand was slow, and the agency worried about sending people to work with expired safety and training certificates.

That’s how Labourly was born. Driven by that client’s concerns, we built our Smart Hire System to streamline and automate their workflows, manage candidate certifications, and connect qualified candidates with work.

It changed how the agency recruited. With our help, they cut the time it took to identify candidates and place them in jobs by up to 75%. The extra productivity helped them grow, and making sure every candidate was certified and ready to work reduced their legal risk.

Today we work with staffing agencies and employers of skilled trades and labour across Canada and the United States.
