I was looking for a job and was very curious about what FlexPro was and where it could take me.
Entrepreneur because it was exciting, risky, and put me in full control, yet kept me grounded. I enjoyed exploring new territory and researching what I needed to do to get what I wanted/needed to take an idea from joking conversation to reality (speaking with a co-worker about being able to do this on our own to creating our own business). FlexPro offered the same feeling without the financial risk!

I have found all my roles to be challenging and rewarding. They have all provided me with different opportunities to apply my knowledge in a different setting and on multiple types of projects, including FlexPro. Ironically, this is very similar to opportunities that FlexPro offers our consultants.
You will not regret joining our team. I have been in Human Resources supporting FlexPro for 3 years and I have seen the bonds created both personally and professionally among our team.
