At The HandyForce we strive to give people in the trades a better place to work. We focus on equal opportunity, work life balance and comfortable, sustainable incomes for all of our people.

The HandyForce’s success is built on a wide variety of employees united by the common desire to be part of a kind, helpful and caring team. We aim to create a healthy, safe and rewarding work environment where everyone can excel and realize their full potential in a highly competitive and complex industry. We recognize the contributions of all employees to our shared success and the essential role each person plays in our mission to bring unparalleled service and craftsmanship to the home renovation industry.

We want to inspire, encourage and motivate our employees to feel satisfied and excel in everything they do.

Our employment equity and diversity program includes recruitment, integration, training and job retention actions for everyone.

Trained at The Reno Academy? Tell us.

We give preference to graduates of The Reno Academy when we hire. The Academy is a skilled trades college in Toronto founded by Paul Switzeny, who also founded The HandyForce in 2010 and still runs it, so the two are under common ownership and we would rather say so than have you find out later.

The practical reason for the preference is simple. We know exactly what its graduates were taught, because we helped decide what to teach: job-site conduct, tool identification, safe lifting, demolition and cleanup, and the outdoor maintenance work that fills a GTA spring. That is a shorter conversation than starting from a resume alone.

If you are not trained yet and the roles above look like the work you want, the Academy runs short hands-on courses for complete beginners. Doing one is not a condition of applying here, and it is not a promise of a job with us or anyone else. It is simply the fastest route we know from no experience to being worth interviewing.
