About Stevens Resource Group
In 1990, Stevens opened Nine to Five Personnel Services in Woodstock, ON, a one-person branch company focusing on clerical and administrative staffing. Within the first year of business, increasing requests for industrial requirements shifted the business focus. In order to reflect the company’s future diversification, she changed the name to Stevens Resource Group Inc.
Today the company has grown from a one-person office to ten branches strategically located throughout Southwestern Ontario and employing over 600 temporary and full-time staff.
This year Stevens Resource Group celebrates 15 years in business, an achievement Sherri is most proud of. Stevens Resource Group provides a comprehensive suite of human resource services including temporary and contract staffing, professional search, training and consulting, and employee assessments.
