My husband was looking for a temporary IT person and was getting really stressed out about it. I…read moresaid "Why don't you look into a staffing agency?" and he said "For IT? Do they have those?" I said "Of course they probably do" and did an online search. (I am the computer person in our household:) I came upon Stafflink--they had a nice looking website and really interesting content supplementing it, like blogs with topics like "How to Get a Job if You're Overqualified". I thought they seemed very in touch with modern thought and technology so this was the first number I presented to my husband. Turns out I was right! Stafflink set Brian up with a wonderful IT guy who was just looking for a couple weeks of work before moving out west. Brian was very impressed by all his transactions with Stafflink, and wanted me to stress here that he'll definitely use them again. http://www.stafflink.ca

Very unethical and unprofessional agency. I was ripped off for months by this agency until I…read moreaccidentally found out months later that they were paying me less than the rate they had agreed with the company I was working for and were pocketing the difference. What makes it worse is despite the fact that I complained about my low rate and dissatisfaction, the agent pretended he couldn't increase it and that he was making less money through me. The benefits (statutory holiday pay, etc) are also completely non-existent so I highly advise you not to waste your time with them. Any agency that makes money through the hard work of people and still rips them off should not be on the market.

Put simply, Kent Legal is amazing. I am a young professional who only had experience at one…read moreprevious firm before working with Kent Legal; I had used a different agency when I was placed at that job and although I was not overly impressed with the service I received, I also didn't have any complaints. Well, that was until I met Keiran at Kent Legal and saw what a placement agency should really be doing for you as a professional candidate looking for work! Keiran has such a warm and welcoming demeanour, while also remaining professional and serious about both her job and your potential to find work. I feel as though Keiran actually cares about my needs and wants as employee and has the patience to find me a position that will be the right fit. I never feel pressured to take an interview simply because I am in need of work and Keiran always candidly discusses the pros and cons of each position we consider. I truly feel she is an ally to me in this crazy world that is job hunting! Additionally, it is demonstrated in her knowledge of the field and the way she speaks about any potential employers or positions that Keiran is very experienced at what she does and has a special talent for getting to know her clients and seeking out positions that could be a good match. Keiran inspires nothing but confidence and trust in her abilities to find you the right position. Not only would I recommend her services to anyone and everyone in this field, but I would also go so far as to say the other agencies in the business have some serious competition on their hands! The previous agency I worked with, by comparison, was unprofessional, unorganized, unknowledgeable, uninvested and downright ignorant when it came to finding me a job. After working with Keiran and Kent Legal, I have experienced what a recruiter should be doing for you as a candidate; should I ever find myself on the job hunt again, I know who I'll be calling.

The ladies at Kent, and especially Keiran, have been absolute angels to me. I have worked with…read morethem between positions twice now, and they were wonderful both times. They never forgot what my career wants/needs were, and when they put me forward for a position, I could trust that the firm had nearly all the qualities I was looking for. Each time I went into an interview, they armed me with an accurate assessment of the people I'd be meeting with as well as tips on how to best relate my skills to the position. Keiran is such a warm and genuine person and has built up a great rapport with the top firms in this city. Based on her recommendations, the interviewers were always prepared to like me - it gave me a huge boost in confidence, which is such a great edge! Keiran also kept in constant touch with me, and treated me like I was her top priority. Both times I worked with Kent I was placed into fabulous positions (with equally fabulous salaries), and was also given great temporary work. Keiran really went above and beyond for me, almost like a family member or friend would do. I can't recommend Kent Legal enough!

In this instance, I'd like to give a…read moreshout-out to Creative Circle, a Toronto recruitment firm that specializes in my field, marketing and advertising. 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.

They are not professional. I will avoid doing business with them in the future.

But a friend of mine encouraged me to use Arrow Professional Services: www.arrowprofessionals.com because she said they would take the time to listen to me, and put me in a position that was right for me. I decided to give them a chance, and my friend gave me the name of the recruiter. His name is Rony Thomas. I called him and he asked me to send in my resume. I did, and a few days later he called me in for an interview. The office was really nice, and he invited me into the board room to discuss several positions. He asked me great questions, and spoke to me about my previous experience and wanted to understand what it is that I wanted to do. He then mentioned that he thought I would be a good addition to two companies that he was recruiting for. He took the extra time to explain to me the differences between them. He asked me which one I preferred, and I told him. He then mentioned that he would try to get me in one or the other. When I received a call from him a week later, he said that the company I was interested in, was interested in me for the position I wanted. Rony invited me in for another meeting. This time he prepared me for my interview. He was very good at explaining how the process was going to work, and I went home confident. A few days later, I had my actual interview at the company, and it was great. I felt that I had aced it. I called Rony right away, and he said he would check with the company to see if I got the job and he would call me back. I waited nervously for a few days, until he called me and told me I GOT THE JOB! I would really recommend Arrow Professional Services to anyone. They are really different than any agency I have used before. Thank you Rony!
