FAQs for Candidates

What is the best way to apply for a position?

• Send an email to resume@qualitycareer.com, or send a fax to 905.792.7115. 
  
  Note: By providing an electronic copy of your resume your resume can be forwarded to our clients much faster. 
  
  
  

What should I include in my email or fax other than my resume?

• So we have a better idea of your goals, please include the type of position (or positions) you are seeking (i.e. accounts payable, general labour, customer service, etc.), whether you are seeking a temporary position or permanent position, and the hourly rate or annual salary you expect.  

Will Quality Personnel contact me if I submit a resume?

• As long as you submit a resume by email or fax, you are guaranteed a staff member will review your resume.  We review resumes every 2 - 3 days for any positions we have available.  Unfortunately we cannot respond to all resume submissions, however, as stated above, your resume is guaranteed a review by our staff.

What is the difference between temporary, permanent and temporary-to-permanent positions?

• A temporary position indicates the employer requires a candidate from a few days up to a few months, at which time the position ends;
  
  A permanent position indicates the employer wants to hire a candidate on a long-term basis;
  
  A temporary-to-permanent position indicates the employer requires a candidate on a temporary basis, and depending on the candidate, his or her performance and/or company requirements, an offer of permanent employment may be extended.  Most employers will extend an offer of permanent employment if the candidate has proven their abilities in the temporary period of a temporary-to-permanent placement. 

Is there a cost to me, the candidate, to use Quality Personnel?

• No. You will never be asked for a fee from Quality Personnel.  All our fees are provided by clients.  

Once you accept my resume, when do you test and interview candidates?

• Once Quality Personnel has a suitable position we determine you are qualified for and would be interested in, we will contact you for an interview and administer standard and/or client specific test as required based on the position.  

Can I just show up at your office to register or drop off a resume?

• As mentioned above, we require your resume by email or fax for entry into our systems.  If you should drop by our office we will ask for an electronic copy even if you have a paper copy of your resume on-hand.  As such, we do not process on-site registrations at this time.  

When does the candidate receive their pay?

• For temporary assignments, Quality Personnel will pay you bi-weekly by cheque or direct deposit, which is the candidate's option.  If you are hired directly by a client, you will be paid according to the company's payroll policy.
