I found absolutely nothing today.
The pickings were pretty slim at the Job Bank, but when I checked workopolis.com, I had a very nasty shock. When I check the listings at workopolis, I click the little box that says "Employer Ads Only". Today, that meant there were only 11 jobs (and nothing that I wanted to apply for). So, to compare, I clicked the "Staffing Agency Ads Only" button and searched again. There were 112 jobs listed.
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot.
I don't want to deal with a staffing agency. It looks to me like the company that is dealing with them to do their hiring is too bloody lazy to do it themselves. And I've heard enough horror stories about agencies that screw over the clients in terms of pay and seniority to be not only wary but also completely turned off by the idea of them.
I agree that they're good for temp work, though. And in that they serve a purpose. But for anything permanent, I smell a scam put forth by both that agency and the company using them.
