If ever there was an unprofessional agency, it’s
Office Team. Every so often one of their consultants calls me to come to their
offices to update my resume.
I have done this no less than five times. Every
time the consultant who looks after my file leaves the agency, and I’m handed
over to another consultant, I have to go to their offices to be considered for
employment.
The consultants don’t listen very well though.
Even though I clearly stated in my application that I can only work downtown
and uptown Toronto, North York and Scarborough, they called me twice now for a
temp assignment in Brampton and Markham.
When I told the consultant that I don’t have a car
and the commute as such would take too long, she got rather snooty with me.
Today one of them called me to come and update my
file for the sixth time. When I explained that I had been to their office
several times, she responded with “You dare to raise you voice to me.” I didn’t
raise my voice, I was trying to be heard over a rather bad phone connection.
When I mentioned this conversation to a friend, he
nodded in understanding. He is an ex-Office Team consultant, and stated that
every consultant has to have a certain number of job seekers on their books, or
their own job is in jeopardy.
He stated not to bother with Office Team, as they
have the worst reputation, both with clients and with job seekers. The agency
has their favorites, who get called again and again for temp assignments and
the rest ... they’re just “book fillers”.
