About Link HR Inc.
Human Resources Consultants in Toronto, Markham, and York Region, and virtual HR services across Canada.
Who We Are
LinkHR is the outsourced Human Resources Team for small and mid-sized employer organizations.
Most small/mid-sized organizations understand the importance of Human Resources strategy, however do not have the need, or budget, for a full-time HR Professional.
The Consultants of LinkHR become an extension of your business, providing customized HR Solutions, fractionally or on-demand.
We are also passionate about leadership development and offer training and coaching to empower leaders.
