Our History
People often ask us how the Smilers name came about. We believe a good name should tell you something about the company it is associated with. Over 40 years ago when we first opened our doors, we chose the name Smilers to communicate our approach to placing people. Life is challenging and the process of job hunting and finding the right person can be an anxious one — we know a positive attitude really works.
Intrigued by the Cat?
The cat intrigues our clients too. Like the Smilers name, the cat has been there from the beginning. The ancient Egyptians revered cats for their protectiveness — not only of crops (by hunting rats and mice), but also for the way a cat looks after her kittens. Eventually, the cat was elevated into an important deity, associated with motherhood and was appealed to as a gentle protector. At Smilers we look after people and the eternal cat is the perfect symbol for our company.
