Shortly after I replied to a copywriter position posted on a job board, I received an email from Gillian, one of the talent scouts at Creative Circle. I was asked to drop in for a one-on-one, and enjoyed my interview process. Gillian knew the ad business, as she had worked agency-side. While the job I had applied for was filled, Gillian said she would keep in touch. And surprise, she did! While the agency biz is crying for web developers and motion graphic designers, it's a much drier place for copywriters--hey everybody can write a sentence, but not everybody can code a snippet. That said, when a copywriting gig did come up, and Gillian felt I was suitable, she would call and ask if I was available for the short-list. Thanks to Creative Circle, I recently ended up with a writing gig at SapeintNitro. Once you've got a record--a good record--the calls come more frequently. So kudos--overall, a definitely positive experience for me.

In the second instance, I had a Hay's staff who wrote up a short couple of paragraphs about my profile and sent it around to a surprisingly wonderful list of firms.

Only apply here if you are a good person who gets along in a team, this firm has standards about who they will represent and they will do extensive background checks on you.

Those jobs could be performed by anyone with the right experience regardless of where they had acquired it, therefore it's totally UNACCEPTABLE to publish it as a "must" without any further explanation. Absolutely horrible and unprofessional given that the Hays brand is supposed to be "global"! You seem not to know that in Ontario it's a human rights violation to post that requirement. You could be better informed by checking the Ontario Human Rights Commission's website, or at least say why your client needs that requirement. I'd never recommend Hays Canada to my employer, colleagues or friends!!

I recently relocated to Toronto and had fond memories of easily fitting into the workplace in 2008…read morethanks to PD Bureau (sadly the women who founded/ran that stellar temp agency have retired). I've also worked for a few other agencies Manpower, Adecco, Ranstad...always had positive experiences, felt I was valued as an employee/representative of the agency and felt I was paid fairly for the various jobs at hand. Perhaps others have had positive experiences at Altis - perhaps I just happened to come in at a time when there were few opportunities or the staff was very busy but I had a completely mediocre experience with this company right from the get go. First off, you have to initially apply online so the process takes much longer to get into their system. Then I did an in-person interview in both English and then French and after was told the few positions I was interested in were significantly lower paid than I had expected ($13.50/hr for medical transcription work? $14/hr for a bilingual receptionist position? These rates are lower than Montreal where rent/food are roughly half the amount). I did the math/budgeted and was floored. With inflation in rent, food etc. if I took on one of these positions full time I would BARELY cover my basic expenses at full/overtime. I left the office without any prospects but then was called a few days later with an offer for a bilingual receptionist position. I thought it would be at my minimum requested rate of $18/hour (seemed reasonable for a bilingual gvt. job - I made this in Toronto via a temp agency in 2007 so...) and it was only a 2-week job so I thought I'd lower my standards a bit and "get a foot in the door". But right from the get-go it was an unprofessional experience and rather degrading. I wasn't given a contact name so when I arrived at the office I stood outside until one of the upper management let me in. After a rather gruelling first day (NOT the relaxed, easy, boring etc. reception job I was told it would be - at $14/hr it had better be low/no stress) I phone to speak to my rep. and explain the situation. Normally they call you as soon as you start the job to make sure everything is in order/you have a clear understanding of the system/payment etc. I left a message and never heard back. Then I started getting emails about filling out security forms and then a course in special needs clients - all mandatory before being able to fill out a timesheet and be paid. Basically there were TONS of bureaucratic layers that made this "simple" contract complex and frustrating. I finally spoke to upper management and explained my position and they spoke with my rep who finally called me, explained how the system works (the guy being paid $15/hr in the same company doing filing was in a different "category" so hence the higher pay rate...mmmm...) and offered me a .50 cent raise to $14.50 and hour. This was kind of hilarious and at this point enjoyed the people I was working for so I agreed to a few more days and then terminated the contract when I was offered something at liveable rate. All this to say, I would not recommend this agency. There are many other options in Toronto and I imagine (I hope!) that they are easier to navigate and that the employees are treated with more respect and decorum.

After applying for numerous positions at my qualification level and under, I thought I'd check in with lady I interviewed with to see how I was doing or how I could improve my chance at selection. I didn't hear back, either from my representative or the company in general for more than THREE MONTHS. By this stage I was fortune enough to have landed a position on my own after two months of being unemployed. So for people like me who were actively seeking work and were desperate for any help an agency like Atlis HR could offer, I suggest you look elsewhere. Especially when you get a call four months later where you politely inform Atlis you found work yourself, no thanks to them. Literally no f***s were given, not even a "I'm sorry to hear that" Atlis is not a professional company worth investing your time and hope into. Maybe next time give a damn.

How difficult is it to call someone back who's left voicemails and e-mails with you over a span of two weeks? This review isn't even factoring in the previous experience I had with a Randstad rep at the north end of the city, who stopped responding to my calls after I had set up an appointment with her. What, is terrible customer service a prequisite for working at this company? Go elsewhere if you're looking for employment.

I couldn't be happier with the time frame and energy she put in. I was constantly impressed by her support and ability to build a relationship with me. She constantly offered tips and advice which were useful and showed she genuinely understood the position, material and how I would fit in it. I would say her strongest trait is her eagerness to jump on a call and talk through all the decision making ups and downs. For example, I had 10 companies I was interviewing for and at the end received four offers. Each company was different in many ways and Rachel was there on the phone to discuss these options and dig into my missions, values, and needs for this role. In the end, the process was two and a half weeks, I received the top bracket for salary, and an amazing contract with a growing company, all thanks to Michael Page and specifically, Rachel Lee.
