Headhunters ( recruiters hate that term) can sometimes get a bad rap. I worked for a recruiting…read morecompany a few years ago, and I know from experience that they all vary. All though I am not a recruiter I have worked with many. David Aplin Recruiting is excellent. When the recession hit hard, I was need of a job after a layoff. Within 2 weeks of registering with Aplin, I had a job. My recruiter Lara Montgomery was excellent. She assessed my job requirements and worked hard and fast for me to get me employed. A real go getter, she recognized that being unemployed was not fun, and got me back to work quickly. Like most of these agencies, in addition to your interview with your recruiter you will be required to do some simple online assessment tests. You can do them from home online, very convenient. I was and I am hopeful others are as well, treated with respect and care. I utilized Lara again at David Aplin when I was looking for a career change recently and I have now ended up in an excellent company. One of the things I like about Aplin is that not only did they find me a great job, but they encouraged me to think outside the box career wise, and it has been amazing. Their offices are located right downtown on the 32nd floor and the views are amazing! This agency works hard to find you work...excellent company.

From the outset, it appears that they are a much more proactive recruitment agency that focusses much more on the importance of the preparation for interview - this is something lacking in every other recruitment group I have ever used.

After having read my initial review, of four years ago, I realized how poorly it'd been done. So,…read morethe following summary hopefully can succinctly clarify what I'd originally meant. I realize this happened back in 2104, but I feel not much has probably changed. As I'd been laid off from this temp agency, I found need to apply for interim welfare, till the EI I applied for, kicked in. I got an initial disbursement, but then got a letter from my worker, telling me me that I needed to go apply for one those how-to-find-a-job courses, or be cut off. But when I applied at McBride, unbeknownst to me, apparently my speech was too literate for their comfort, for they refused to confirm with EI, that I'd enrolled with them. And until such confirmation, my EI benefits would be witheld. So I walked, which resulted in EI docking me 6.6 weeks benefits, as penalty. The actual course itself, was a farce (they still admitted me to it, though I'd missed the first week), It consisted merely of them giving you a booklet to read, and doing the open book quiz, at the end of it; the afternoons would be spent orally correcting it, as a group. And that 'group,' I might add, was comprised mostly of trailer park types. I found out later, that if someone sounded like they'd been university-educated, that the place would usually attempt to get rid of them, in this manner. Most likely, they feared being reported on, to the government. They just like their lumpenproletarian clients who say nothing, and whom they get payment for.
