In the heart of Calgary, where the glass towers of commerce catch the morning light, there exists an institution whose influence extends far beyond its modest office walls. A Helping Hand—or AHH as it's referred to among the industry insiders—stands as a quiet orchestrator of occupational journeys, bridging the ambitious with the prospective.
Leah Gallup moves with the practiced confidence of someone who has spent three decades reading the subtle language of human potential. Her accolades—twice nominated as Female Entrepreneur of the Year by financial titans RBC and ATB—seem to shimmer around her like an aura, unmentioned but unmistakably present.
The morning light filters through the blinds as staff members navigate between desks with purposeful strides. Phones hum with opportunity. This is not merely an recruitment firm—it is a crucible where professional destinies take shape.

In the corner office, a map hangs with pins marking Calgary, Edmonton, Fort Myers—the trinity of AHH's physical presence. But these pins, these markers, tell only a segment of the story. The actual influence of A Helping Hand extends far beyond, spanning international boundaries into a global network of workforce solutions.

An email notification chimes—correspondence from overseas. This is the unseen pulse of AHH's cross-border activities. The recruitment specialist who answers does so with the natural facility of someone for whom geographical boundaries are administrative formalities.

The agency continues to function as tribute to the essential understanding that within every professional placement beats a personal journey—and it is in the careful reading of these journeys that authentic placement artistry resides.
