What Is a 48-Hour Fill Time and Why It Matters for Your Ontario Business

What Does '48-Hour Fill Time' Actually Mean?
Fill time refers to the number of hours between an employer submitting a staffing request and a candidate starting work. A 48-hour fill time means the agency commits to presenting a qualified, work-ready candidate within two business days.
Western Jobs guarantees a 48-hour fill time for standard temporary placements across the GTA. For emergency situations, same-day deployment is available 24/7.

A 48-hour fill time compresses that cost window dramatically.
