Founded by Lou Duggan in 1971 Armor has grown into a full service professional employment organization. From a 400 square foot office with two employees in 1971 to 8 offices in Brampton, Mississauga, Meadowvale, Etobicoke, Vaughan, and most recently Burlington and Hamilton.

Armor employs more than 70 core staff and is responsible for the employment of thousands of people each year. Establishing a reputation in the greater Toronto area business community was one of Armor's primary focuses. Involvement in various community organizations has earned it a reputation for commitment, integrity and honesty.

“Today, tomorrow, a decade from now, with an economy in flux and confronted with an ever-changing multi-cultured and highly legislated work environment, corporate success will only occur when the “hire and hope” approach to recruitment and staffing is completely eliminated.” Those are Lou’s words and the foundation of how Armor creates, evolves and supports every one of their clients. Hire and hope does not have to be any employer’s reality and Armor is here to ensure that it isn’t.

Our Founder on Change:
Business leaders must become Champions of Change if we are going to meet the challenge of today’s – and tomorrow’s world of commerce. Many companies are redefining the ways their organizations do business. A move to outsourcing or partnering sees organizations concentrating on their core business while eliminating activities that dilute focus. The concept of partnering is not new. In 1971, I formed Armor and although it wasn’t called partnering at the time, we formed relationships with companies which allowed us to provide a pool of manpower to assist them with fluctuations in business activity. We also recruited support and key staff for these clients.

In many cases firms play a game of Russian Roulette, “well, let’s give this person a try”. Today and in the future, in an ever changing, multi-cultured and highly legislated environment, following a “hire and hope” approach to recruitment and staffing is a sure failure.

Armor has and continues to invest in systems, programs and training to ensure that we remain at the forefront in staffing services. Through our on-premise system, personality profiling benchmarking and comprehensive human resource management system, we are constantly evolving to support and enhance our client’s success. Armor is a resource partner.
