The founder, Leah Gallup, carries herself with a deliberate grace that speaks to her thirty years of translating talent into opportunity. She wears her achievements with the same understated elegance as her tailored blazer—prestigious nominations from RBC and ATB for Female Entrepreneur of the Year hanging invisible yet palpable in the air around her.

The morning light filters through the blinds as staff members navigate between desks with purposeful strides. Computer screens illuminate with potential. This is not merely an employment agency—it is a crucible where occupational journeys begin.

A client enters—a construction magnate with calloused hands and pressed shirt, the contradiction embodying the very essence of industry. The greeting is exchanged with professional warmth. This is a moment repeated with rhythmic regularity across a generation of employment facilitation.

A digital display cycles through images of Calgary’s skyline, Edmonton’s industrial heart, and Fort Myers’ coastal business district—the geographical trinity of AHH’s operational reach. But these pins, these timepieces, tell only a segment of the story. The true reach of A Helping Hand extends far beyond, transcending geographical limitations into a global network of employment opportunities.

An email notification chimes—correspondence from overseas. This is the invisible rhythm of AHH’s global reach. The staff member who responds does so with the practiced ease of someone for whom international operations are routine exercises.

To observe A Helping Hand in operation is to witness a masterclass in human potential assessment. The CORE certification displayed prominently speaks to a standard internalized long before it was formalized.

A construction worker with hands that speak of experience and eyes that hunger for opportunity sits across from a recruitment specialist. The exchange is brief but dense with assessment.

Like Talese’s Ferrari with fuel, AHH has been running at optimal performance for thirty years, connecting talent with opportunity without missing a beat. Under Gallup’s guidance, AHH navigates the complexities of employment with the assured touch of a captain who has weathered countless economic storms.

The testimonials of those placed by AHH carry the authentic weight of lives professionally transformed. James Harris, his posture now embodying professional satisfaction, describes the personalized attention that connected him with his ideal position.
