Recently I had the pleasure of engaging with MatchBox Consulting for their exceptional services in my successful placement. In my experience Janessa Currie (Engagement Manager) is the best recruiter I came across with. She is very grateful for her ability to detect the right person for the right position. I recommend MatchBox and Janessa Currie to anyone seeking recruitment support.
I cannot recommend Matchbox Consulting highly enough! From the moment I reached out to them, they were incredibly attentive, professional, and dedicated to helping me secure the job of my dreams. Their entire team, including Ciara, Charlene, Janessa, Sandra, and Nikki, truly understand the needs and aspirations of their clients and go above and beyond to match them with the perfect opportunities.

Thanks to Matchbox Consulting, I landed a position at the company I've always wanted to work for. Their guidance throughout the entire recruitment process was invaluable; from polishing my resume to preparing for interviews, they provided unwavering support every step of the way.

What sets Matchbox Consulting apart is their personalized approach and genuine commitment to their clients' success. They took the time to understand my skills, preferences, and career goals, ensuring that they found the ideal fit for me.

If you're looking for a recruitment agency that truly cares about your future and will go the extra mile to help you succeed, look no further than Matchbox Consulting. I'm immensely grateful for their assistance and couldn't be happier with the outcome. Thank you, Matchbox Consulting, for making my career aspirations a reality!
So far I have had a fantastic experience with Matchbox! A recruiter had proactively reached out to me in January 2024 when I was actively looking to leave my current role -- the role he was hiring for turned out to be a perfect fit for me and I have now been in that role just short of 2 months and loving it! Matchbox was very transparent, supportive, and communicative during the hiring process and continues to check in with me to ensure everything is smooth sailing. Everyone I have interacted with on the team so far has been a pleasure to work with and I hope to continue working with Matchbox in the future!
I recently had the pleasure of engaging with MatchBox Consulting Group as a candidate for their exceptional services, and I couldn't be more impressed with the results. From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of outstanding, and I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone seeking top-notch recruitment support.
From the initial email and phone call to my final placement, the team at MatchBox demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and a genuine commitment to understanding my needs and goals. Furthermore, the communication throughout the recruitment process was exemplary. I was kept informed every step of the way, and any questions or concerns I had were addressed promptly and thoroughly. Great job MatchBox, thank you !!
Montana, Sandra & Janessa were fantastic to work with. They kept me updated, prepared me for my interviews and in general were very supportive through the whole process. I would highly recommend them and MatchBox.

Working with Irena from Express has been an exceptional experience throughout my job hunting journey. I cannot praise her enough for the invaluable support and guidance she provided.

Irena is not just a recruiter; she is a true professional who goes above and beyond to understand your career goals and aspirations. Her attention to detail, dedication, and genuine interest in my success set her apart.

I appreciate how Irena made the job search process seamless and efficient. From resume tips to interview preparation, her insights were instrumental in helping me secure a position that aligns perfectly with my skills and ambitions.

Express, as a company, reflects Irena's commitment to excellence. Their streamlined processes and focus on individual needs make them stand out in the recruitment industry.

I am immensely grateful for Irena's expertise and the positive experience I had with Express. If you're seeking a dedicated and results-driven recruiter, I wholeheartedly recommend Irena and the team at Express.

Thank you, Irena, for making a significant impact on my career journey!
I couldn’t recommend Express employment enough! I’ve had the pleasure of working with Saoirse, she was extremely on to it and helped me with employment straight away. After looking for a job by myself for months she scored me two temp roles within 1 week. Saoirse is incredibly friendly and communicates very well. 10/10!
Excellent experience working for this company. Very friendly staff, who work hard to get work for workers. Even when I'm working for a different company, I passed by to say hello.
What a pleasure working with Brent and his team. As HR Director, I frequently have to collaborate with agencies to help us with our recruitment. Express Employment stood out for the speed of their service, their integrity, their unique methodology allowing us as an employer to see the evolution of mandates and above all, their ability to adapt to a constantly changing reality. As a bonus, they provide additional tools to their clients in order to better attract and retain candidates, whether it be surveys on selection criteria for job seekers, tips on how to successfully onboard new employees after their hiring, etc. They want to build long term relationships with organizations mandating them. I recommend the Express Employment experience to any company.
Nastasija was very helpful with advice about the employer and also the recruitment process. Dealt with all the paperwork and any queries I had while employed. Thank you!
Brent was a delight to deal with! He was extremely helpful with our internal recruitment and gave valuable insight on the current market. I would recommend him to anyone looking to use an agency to recruit.
It's been an absolute pleasure to work with both Penny & Saoirse with my employment search. They are super supportive, kind, and easy to communicate with. Every job they've sent my way is clear and easy to follow through on. Thank you Penny & Saoirse, I recommend your services any day!
I had a fantastic experience with MatchBox! They proactively reached out to me with a perfect job opportunity. Their professionalism during the interview process was exceptional, and they provided valuable assistance in securing the position. Their communication was top-notch throughout the entire process. I'm grateful for their support in helping me land this opportunity. Highly recommended!
I worked with Kushang who has been one of the more knowledgable and relatable recruiters I've worked with. He was very kind and understanding of what I was looking for. He sent over great interview tips and the check in/follow ups were always timely and supportive. I was able to ask all the questions I needed to make sure I was making the right choice in switching my job and am so glad I had him as a resource to help. I've already recommended my friends and family to him, keep up the great work!

I got hired recently in a very good position, for a promising career thanks to the incredible help from Randstad. In particular, I must give credit to Bhavika, that personally connected me to this opportunity and coached me thought the hiring process. She is very friendly and helpful, but also knowledgeable and straight to the point.
I had the pleasure of working with Bhavika from Randstad Vancouver, which was a fantastic experience.

Bhavika went above and beyond to ensure a smooth and seamless process throughout my job search. Her professionalism, responsiveness, and attention to detail truly stood out. She took the time to understand my needs and preferences, matching me with a job opportunity that was an excellent fit.

Randstad Vancouver as a whole also deserves recognition for their commitment to excellence. The entire team works cohesively to assist candidates like me in finding the right job opportunities.

I would highly recommend Bhavika and Randstad Vancouver to anyone in search of job placement services. Thank you, Bhavika, for your outstanding support and for making my job search a success!

I had the pleasure of navigating the employment process with Randstad, under the guidance of Bhavika. I must say, my experience with the agency was exceptionally seamless, and what truly stood out was how the interview process felt like friendly and insightful conversations. Bhavika was consistently well-prepared to address any questions I had and diligently kept me informed throughout the hiring process. A heartfelt thank you for making this journey both friendly and professional!
Extremely slow, I mean extremely slow, with the all the construction in the city and thia place is slow. That is a really bad sign for a labour shop.. So if your a worker Aviod this place. Goto more established shops like TLC or Labour Unlimited... If your a new, experienced and or laid off worker this isn't the shop for you to re affirm how slow this labour shop. They will make you sit a day or two just in case someone drops from a job. Nick the General Manager I assume asked me to show up for 5:45am once and the shop wasn't even opened until 6am.

I had a great experience with Impact Recruitment. Highly recommend them! They are relentless in their efforts and do not give up until you've secured a job you like. The staff are super friendly and the advice and support I received from them was very useful. They also follow up with you even after you start working and until your probation period.
I tried various recruitment companies, but this is the second time I successfully secured a job through Impact.
Dylan has shown his utmost professionalism and enthusiasm as a job hunting agent. His proactive approach played a big role in helping me secure a position that perfectly fits my aspiration. I have to say that his perseverance led me to the final success. During the entire process, I was deeply impressed by Dylan's insightful advice and generous guidance. I strongly recommend Dylan to anyone who is seeking new job and exciting challenge!
There’s rarely any ever work LOL

I had a phone interview with Ria Acevedo on July 24 at 3:15pm. The service wasn't the best so she asked me if we can reschedule to July 26 at 9am. I told her yes.

On July 26, I waited for a phone call but nothing for an entire day. She wasted my time, didn't even bother replying to email to confirm to reschedule.

Bad service
This is to express the utmost satisfaction with MatchBox, as they have proven themselves to be incredibly proficient in aiding the quest to find the ideal job. Their professionalism and transparency throughout the hiring process leaves no doubt as to their commitment to excellence. Their approach is both fair and direct, ensuring that candidates are provided with a clear understanding of what to expect every step of the way. Therefore, I wholeheartedly recommend investing your time and effort in pursuing any job opportunities posted by MatchBox that are aligned with your work experience, as it is undoubtedly a worthwhile endeavor.
Very good company, their team is always really nice and helpful, supporting me for everything and paying attention to the work safety, and they always provided me a good job.
Everyone here it's a wonderful people. All the workers, the bosses, the company's that they working for are incredible.

It was amazing to have Impact Recruitment helping me find a new job. From the moment I was contact by them to check the job opportunity to the week after be hired they were very friendly, supportive and considerate. All my questions were kindly answered and I felt really pleased with them. A special thanks to Ria Acevedo, she was the one who worked by my side.
parked in a street parking spot and had a road rage incident from their truck. Laid on the horn because they wanted to turn right through the parking spots. This happened on the 19th by the way. Not very professional or safe.

A month or so ago, I went there personally to register, handed in all my information, signed several pages of a contract and NEVER received ANY notice of vacancy to work as I had been promised! What you did with all my information and my contract if I’ve nerver heard from you since them?
Saoirse has been unbelievably helpful since the first call with her. She is helpful, understanding and quick to respond to any queries. She tries to find the best fit for you and helps the whole way throughout the process! if there was 6 stars Saoirse deserves them!

I has been working with Randstad for a while now, they are very diligent in finding a right match for professionals and employees. They really do take the time to know very well his clients and clients' needs, but also they make sure they know their candidates . They are very responsible and through in contracting processes and payments.
At to this point , I had never had any bad experiences when trusting them on finding me a job opportunity.

One of the best agents in Randstad is Bhavika, she really pour out herself on matching the right job opportunity with the right professional.
I had a great experience working with Matchbox who helped me finding a job that I was looking for. They are very professional, very clear and transparent on the whole hiring process. Their commitment is fair and straight. It is definitely worth investing your time and effort if there is a job posted by Matchbox that is matching with your work experience. I worked with Janessa Currie and she was great.

Kushang Jhala , -has helped me to reach to a decision ultimately when I was struggling in for making a move in my job search. He understands hiring needs and plans the recruitment process accordingly for job hunters & his knowledge of every domain helps him to provide guidance to his clients efficiently & maintain a trust with his clients. I really am happy with his service & time given to my questions and concerns.
Thanks Kushang
Most of the time they don't have any work. Make you wait for hours.

Senior Recruiter Elliot was very attentive and kind. Found me a job quick and nicely. He understood what I wanted and avoided me and hiring companies to waste their time with no matches. The company is very professional and know what they are doing. Super recommend!

Can I just say that Rachel is absolutely amazing! We did our interview. She found out my personality type and what I bring to the table. She lined up a few more interviews. Then she got me my dream job! I can't even believe it, truly a dream!!!! And from what I can tell, the company I am now working for needed someone with my skillset and probably would not have found a more capable person for the role without her help!
I am just so grateful for everything!
If you are looking for a job and you are working with impact then you are very lucky and you will land something amazing!
If you are a company and looking to hire then I can guarantee that you have a very capable team to find the right employee for your needs.
Thank you so much for everything!
I do not recommend it. If you are a professional trader or hard worker, you have better chances. They don't have much work and amuse themselves by turning you back; you might be too proud of yourself for them. Do you have time for that?
I’ve worked for CLS for about a year now. Great company to work for, very accommodating! I really enjoy the work and everyone I have met along the way have been so nice! Highly recommend!
Great company. They are always concerned about their employees and pay on time.
The management is organized and concerned about the safety in our workplace.
Really happy with the labor provided. When ever I’ve asked for labor they show up to site on time and work hard. The CLS team (Sam, Monica and Chris) are also great to deal with.

I used to like this place but not anymore.
Jobs should be given to those that show up on a first come, first served basis. There’s nothing more annoying & frustration then waking up early being the first one to show up at 5:30am/6:00am

Then later on some Addict who showed up late walks in like they own the place and has the nerve to say “ is there any work?” No goofball, can’t you see the other people here before you! (Expect a lot of this)

This place should have a ticket system so responsible people don’t get cheated out of work. Now serving ticket number 5,6,7,8

Wesley Chung from Randstad was extremely helpful and helping me secure my employment with my current employer. I have had previous experience with other agencies, and I must say the level at which Wesley operates is excellent. He was very proactive, and kept me informed of the process the entire time. He listened to my concerns and answered all my questions. Overall, a very good experience!

As a fresher it was difficult to find a job in Canada. I contacted Randstad and got in touch with Wesley, he quickly understood my job profile and helped me land a great job in no time. He is full of positive vibe, so passionate about his job and helping others grow in their career. Thanks you so much Westley and Randstad!

I recently had the pleasure of working with Wesley at Randstad and I couldn't be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, Wesley was professional and genuinely interested in helping me find the right job opportunity. He was extremely helpful and kept me updated throughout the process until I started my work.
I would highly recommend Wesley at Randstad to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and dedicated recruiter.
Great company if you want work
I’ve been working with CLS now for the last 3 years! Chris, Sam and all the team are extremely helpful and understanding and so easy to work with! Throughout the Covid -19 pandemic they ensured that I still had work and we’re constantly checking in to see how things were going! I’ve been lucky to have worked on some unique projects with CLS such as tweed cannabis farms, YVR airport , Apple’s new flagship store, The post and the four seasons hotel renovation! Overall a positive and supportive work environment!

You can relay on them to get you temporary job. Cons: they open later and close earlier then what they say on their web page and at office, minimum pay, don't come in morning for check as I had to wait for their computer to bot for 45 min...
I have been with CLS for over 3 years and they have looked after me incredibly well and have provided me with consistent work always. They have work in various areas over BC and Alberta, where I worked for 8 months in Edmonton with them before moving to Vancouver. They are always just a phone call or text away if you have any concerns and have great flexibility on your work schedule if required. Never had any problems and receive my pay on time every 2 weeks. I also have great benefits with them which I received after 3 months. Couldn't recommend them enough.
The staff are 5 out of 5. They work hard at finding work for people. They're personable and professional. The only reason I took one star off is that the pay is less than other places, but they're good people and sometimes that makes all the difference.
Like anything else you get out of life what you put into it. They quickly recognized me as intelligent and reliable. Within 2 months I was working full time on a site with a 30 minute commute by bus.
Thanks TLC.
Signed up today, they have tons of jobs for TCP certificate holders! Work today get paid today! That's awesome!
Great place to work, they give u a ride and coffee and an advance for bus or coffee or cigs lol
Great pay for the worker compared to other places.
It's better to get paid weekly but they do same day as well. I wish I didn't become a junkie and take an advance and not go to work
I just started working for this temp agency. I am returning to work after being off due to injury. The first time they send me out, they send me to a job that has no safety protocols in place for drilling & cleaning concrete and silica dust. I was not advised to take a respirator or masks, I luckily did take my respirator and used 4 cartridges of my own to save my own lungs. Silica dust can be deadly and cause serious lung issues. I asked to be reimbursed as it should not cost me to go to work for this temp agency and the receptionist BB was not helpful or respectful. I went out on another job for them and it was acceptable for them to email me the ticket and get signed but not acceptable for me to email the signed timecard back as I was not sure I would make it back to the office in time before closing, the was site quite a ways away from the office. I was advised that I couId bring the ticket in anytime and get paid, I did manage to get to the office in time before closing and was advise that if had not returned the ticket in 7 days I would have worked for free they would not pay me after 7 days. I again requested my reimbursement for the respirator cartridges from the first job they sent me on the first time I ever worked for them and BB the receptionist was again very unprofessional and as we were discussing the payment, BB watched another client steal from me right in front of her while we were discussing and would not tell me who stole my stuff. This is not a reputable business and does not have reputable people BB the receptionist working them. If BB (the receptionist) allows clients to steal from any of their clients without speaking up its speaks volumes of the character of the people that work for this company. The clients that they place are making them money and putting a paycheque in their hands. I would not recommend this employment agency for anyone there are tons of employment agencies that are reputable and value the clients they place and do not allow or condone stealing of any kind. This employment agency or BB the receptionist does condone stealing from clients. STAY AWAY FROM THIS AGENCY ITS NOT REPUTABLE.

Elliot is very professional, accommodating and approachable. He is always open for discussions and always makes sure to provide me complete and accurate information with regards to my queries and concerns. I would highly recommend having more people like Elliot on your team.
A temp agency that goes the extra mile to get workers for you. Solid construction business contacts and a good front of house staff which match workers to sites. If you're interested in having above average temp labour these are your guys.
Great location for work & fast 💵 especially when your in a tight spot for small bills .. or you just need quick cash for things you require, I always get sent out every time i show up & the work loads are generally straight forward work with an easy set of tasks guaranteed payday 💱💸💲

Not impressed and negative experience. They are not respectful and I felt like they only work for employers not for job seekers - found a good example of bullying recruiter dealing with one of the recruiters there (which is true but very sad to see that is apparent and obvious). When you give up on a good opportunity for poor recruiter, that says lots of things - would not recommend wish I could give zero star.

Victoria has been very informative and pleasant to deal with as well as she has addressed any concerns of mine that have arose. I am currently at Diavik Diamond Mine in the NWT and have been unable to successfully submit my time entries due to the site internet network being very unstable, she has ensured that my time has been entered and stays in constant contact. She has even replied to me in the evenings from home to address any concerns that I have brought forth. 10/10 will recommend Victoria and David Aplin Group to any friends or associates I know.

I have worked with other recruiters with other companies in the past and she is only one of two that I would ever recommend. We need more people like Christina"

I was referred by a friend due to being laid off. I went to the New Westminster location and now I'm working out of the Vancouver location. The office staff is great. And the work is there. Do what ya can to keep everyone happy and you'll get the work.
If you are going to work for a temp labor agency in Vancouver this is the one to go with. The staff there are great to deal with and in my experience have never failed to place me on a quality site. I would still be working for them if I hadn't been hired on full time by one of those sites ;)

Keep up the good work guys and I will pop in next long weekend for a slice of pizza lol

The Best For Work. Arrive Early And Be Ready To Put In 8 Hour Days.
Great place if you want to get work almost every day of the year! Great for daily work or if your looking for somethin more stable. Get out on the job site with no strings attached, make a good impression and most of the time local trades will see your hard work and perhaps offer you a full time job!

Highly recommend for short or long term work. Paid daily! I've been working for them for about 5 months now and I love it.

I stopped working here because of deceiving people that work in the commercial and broadway office. I went on many jobs and never had problems with the people I worked for. I only had problems with a couple of people in the office. There is an immature and ,lazy young lady who always seems to send people to jobs on wrong date or in the wrong location, then turns around and adds on workers files that the workers was unsuitable for job (which is a complete lie).The reason this is done(according to mark) is because they have to pay a minimum 2hrs to worker for showing up and having to come back to office and looks bad on the persons who sent out the worker (basically covering there butts on workers expense).This is just dirty business and should not be tolerated . Im not sure if district office or head office is aware of that ?but it should not be allowed to happen. These temp agency charge a big fee and pay almost close minimum wage to workers and have the nerve to mistreat and blatantly lie to workers to cover own tracks.
Use and abuse of people in need.
Big thing to tell you about Labor unlimited at this location they have new management which means they're more caring for workers and people who really need to get out and get a day's pay it's way better than it was before I invite people to come back and give it another try anyone who is not satisfied
Way better than the other two agency's I've been to, located in the same neighbourhood. I went in last June and I've been to the same site the entire time. I've received two raises and several job offers. It's amazing how well a person can be treated if they simply show up, on time, sober, with proper work clothes and equipment (like safety boots). Easy work.

Staff:
Samantha, Edmund, and Mark are so chill and professional. They'll help you with any questions you have and send you to places they know you can handle. There used to be this lady called Betty that worked there and ruined people's experiences. She is long gone and the morale of the place has been lifted immensely.

The reviews below pre-2017 are obsolete regarding staff.

Jobsites:
Warehousing, construction, and service work. Having worked at People Ready for 7 months now, I've had little "Bad Days" at the sites I've been sent to. You'll be fine as long as you do your part at the work site. Obviously if you're performing poorly, your supervisor may give you a bitching :) and/or a DNR (Do Not Return).

How does it work?:
Basically you arrive as early as 5AM. The earlier you arrive, the higher chance you get a job. If you arrive between 8AM - 12PM, the chance of you getting a job is based on faith and luck at that point. You then wait in a room with other associates. Have a drink, chat a storm, or go to sleep until you get called to the front.

You go to work and hope you make it to the office before 6PM :).

Do I recommend this place?:
Yes! If you're short on cash and love working at different sites for different experiences, go for it! I don't know how it is long term since I've only been there for 7 months. You get paid the same day!

The staff here is rude and immature. I was given a note on my file because I confronted the staff about lying to me about the wage before I got to the job. They knew how difficult the work was and likely that is the reason they felt the need to lie. I have worked very hard for labor ready despite all this and of all the offices I have been to this staff is simply undeserving and immature. I was accused of verbal abuse but I simply asserted the concerns and frustrations that me and my co-workers experienced that day, including the fact that one of the guys behind the desk outright lied to me about the wage, for which I was later accused of lying about!. The men here are mild compared to the older lady who works here, almost everyone has had to deal with her on a day-to-day basis and she really does not deserve her title because she is the reason people do not go back to that office. She treats everyone like they are the stupidest most incompetent person to have walked in there.

This company is unprofessional and frankly,Insulting, I know, I answered all Questions on their ascessment questionaire with reasonably answers,because they were 95% about fights and stealing, I Never fight and I am not one to steal ! I was told by these morons that I failed and not to apply for a year, well, I don't think so I felt it a kick in the teeth! when I ask how or why I failed ? they said head office failed the results in 2 seconds ? I would recommend people go with their"great skills" and credentials to a place that is worthy of their respect, I will send a Letter to head office and file a report to BBB Broadway Labour Ready seems to like, demeaning workers and I think this Is absolutely ( Pathetic) Thank-You, Ron McKay
