How does The Agency work?

There is no cost whatsoever to work for and through The Agency. The Agency charges the business for its services.

Businesses contact The Agency for assistance in filling vacant positions. These positions can be permanent, contract as well as short or long term temporary postings.

The Agency has a pool of people that are looking for work and we use this data base to match the job opportunity to the individual.

For the job seeker to be placed on this data base, they must first be interviewed. To acquire an interview, a resume has to be presented to The Agency and an interview will subsequently be scheduled.

An individual scheduled to work through The Agency at a business is on the payroll of The Agency. They are an employee of The Agency.

The Agency generates income by charging the client business requiring the assistance, a fee for

service. The Agency does not take anything from the worker. The worker’s wage is established by the client company and Agency staff are paid weekly. Deductions from wages are those required by law Income Tax; CPP EI). The Agency provides T4’s at year end and Records of Employment..

The benefits of using The Agency for an individual in search of work are: The Agency can find them employment; it is an opportunity for the individual to “get their foot in the door” at a particular business and demonstrate their value; and, it provides them with an advantage over others looking for work at a particular company should that company want to fill a position on a permanent basis.
