Since 2011 when MELLOHAWK Logistics was honoured as the winner for the Small Business Big Impact in Leadership Scotiabank/CFIB Challenge contest, we have been reference to other small/medium companies in hiring and integrating immigrants.

Thus, Peter Hawkins, representing MELLOHAWK Logistics, participated today at the World of Talent on Your Doorsteps 2014 workshop as a speaker sharing with participants MELLOHAWK Logistics business case on benefits of hiring immigrants.

We have hired employees from other countries since the beginning of our history, and it has directly been the main factor of our success. Especially for a freight forwarder company like us in which connections in other countries are keys to expand markets and to speak different languages is more than just an asset, it is a necessity, hiring immigrants is basic and determines how fast we grow.
