Staff is hit or miss here. Receptionists have very personable phone demeanours but seem totally disorganized and unprepared to answer any detailed questions you may have. Staff will leave voicemails for you but will always be "on the phone" when you call back, even immediately, which may be the dif...
I thought job agencies are supposed to be for entry level starters. This place ghosted me so many times after I contacted them looking for work.
Met them twice and they always say im a great fit for these mechanical engineer positions. They never come back to candidates or even responding to my follow up email. It was my bad to share my references with them since they are not serious and they don't appreciate professional time to meet them i...
I can't say enough about the staff at excelHR! They take the time to get to know you, are very honest and ethical about your job search and the details of the roles you are presented. I found my first job on a temp contract and eventually this lead to a wonderful permanent role with the federal gove...
I worked for excelHR for over 5 years and it was a excellent working environment. If you want to truly feel like you are not only a part of a team but also a family, this is an ideal employer for you. The culture is work hard and play harder. You will receive an incredible amount of support and e...
After applying to a few job postings on their website, I was asked to come in for an interview and to complete various online assessments. I had done everything I was asked to do, while continuing to apply and I still have yet to hear of any other opportunities or any feedback in regards to my previ...
Great team! Highly professional and efficient. They did the best to give me all the tools and advice that I needed to transition into a job that I was passionate about. I would highly recommend them anytime. Special thanks to Barbara and Lindsay. They are true pros at what they do.
The positive side of this agency is the fact that they'll get you a contract for sure. The downside of it is they will lowball you, you'll have to negotiate real hard to get equal pay for equal work. Their philosophy is based on making as much off of you as possible. Make sure you compare before acc...
Setting up an account was easy and I've found the reps are accessible. It's important to ask questions, but when you do, they work very hard to find out the answer for you if they don't already know. I've found they'll also fight for a better wage for you and try to pair you up with longer term cont...
Excel has always provided me with a great experience. They do the right testing and make sure both the client as a person or a business gets the right fit. I had the pleasure of working with Michelle and Brittney and they were both very helpful in my job search and kept me informed throughout the pr...
It's the worst experience so far. They took my interview and ask me about my interest and skills and after that they told me recruiter will contact you .Last three months I have haven't heard back and left them voicemail and email they ignored me .Totally unprofessional agency so far would not recom...
Excel HR was super helpful. They placed me in a relevant field as soon as I graduated from my bachelor's. The process was quick and easy. I would say it's the perfect place if you're looking for temporary work!
Applied more then 10 jobs I was fullied qualified for. Being bilingual, college education and 5 years or retail and construction experience to getter, you would think I would get a call from one of them but no! I called them to inform them that I was sending my resume for specific positions that I ...
Poor performance
Lengthy wait times from the time you sign up and submit your resume until you receive a phone call or interview, it has been two weeks now and nothing yet!
I received a great service from ExcelHR.They interviewed me, assessed my skills and matched me with a great opportunity. Their staff were avaliable to help me and answer questions.
I had a great experience with Excel RH from the start. It's a very large agency, with good operating procedures and friendly consultants. Special thanks to Coleen, Natasha and Jessica, they have been wonderful so far. Also, it's always a pleasure to call the office, as the receptionist is very frien...
Trash. Will not respond to emails, will not respond to contractual issues and plainly rip you off and don't explain details about any benefits. Keep that in mind when working for these people. They will happily accept the labour and won't honour any promises, even contract stipulations.
Amazing recruitment company, they found me exactly the job i was looking for, extremely professional and respond in a timely manner, highly recommended.
If you re English speaking only you won t find many contracts. I worked with them for two months and was only contacted 3-4 times for a contract and ended up not getting them. I did one interview. Even though I mentioned I was interested in government work I was never offered anything government rel...
I was placed by excelHR in my current role and I was really impressed with their level of professionalism. Their friendly staff (Colin and Ntasha) were available to provide support at every stage of the process including follow-up review after I had started the job.
Very professional company and very friendly service.
Professional and personable staff who celebrate your success!
Since I dropped off a resume at a job fair two weeks ago with not much employment success until that point, I have now been placed.
I look forward to working further with the amazing people at ExcelHR!
Worst Agency. Started off good. But then waited two months and heard nothing. So I decided to send an email to find out what was going on. It took two weeks and 3 emails later for someone to respond to me. When I received that email I was told their were no jobs for me at the moment because I was n...
Very professional placement agency, very agile on finding new oppertunities as they come out, wins many bids as they are very competitive, however strong negotiations skills needed if you want to get a good rate as a senior resource. The short of it, they are there to win, and will always treat con...
Unfortunately I received very poor service. I signed up did all the testing they required then I never heard back. They basically provided no service at all. I would strongly recommend you search for another service when you are seeking employment. Very dissatisfied. Fortunately I found employment o...
They won the 2020 Top Choice Award for their excellence in the pursuit of top customer satisfaction and that equals to hundreds of five stars reviews.
Specially during this pandemic they choose to keep leading in their industry by moving forward and apply new strategies to ensure top customer satis...
The only agency out of many that went above and beyond their role to match me with excellent job opportunities in my time of need. Extremely supportive staff. I will forever be grateful to Excel HR.
Stay away from Excel HR. After you paid the fingerprint fee (~50 dollars), they will never contact you anymore.
A great recruiting company. I got a job by Excel HR about 13 years ago and for the second time they helped me to find another job 3 months ago.
Special thanks to Colin Kusz who provided amazing services.
WONDER HOW THEY REMAIN IN BUSINESS!!
Having registered with them initially a few years ago, I was always telephoned about being put forward for one job or the other but that was as far as it went as I never hear back again after that. Went on and got myself a job but find myself out of work recentl...
No job matches, despite being qualified for many jobs on their website.
I have dealt with them more than once, and have always found them very nice, professional and helpful.
Not a great experience with excelHR. I found a job with no help from them. Would not recommend their services.
I called several times to speak to someone about current openings but no one returns the call, not sure how they are always busy. Very bad service and unprofessional, very disappointed.
We were struggling with finding qualified permanent employees to fill various positions within our company. We were referred to the recruiting company of ExcelHR based out of Ottawa Ontario, which proved to be the solution to our dilemma. They assigned us an account executive, Coleen, who left us fe...
Exel HR contacted me for a meeting, while I was on a job search. I went downtown to meet them and wasn't notified in advance the agent I had already spoken with had gone home and a junior associate was taken over the file. The meeting was cut short due to an internal "party" the team was having. I n...
Once I had the interviews, all contact has stopped and I have not heard from them in over 2 months regarding any opportunities even though I continue to apply through their website.
Terrible service from a terrible company.
I have been working with Altis for about two years now. Very good agency and highly recommended.
They make you pay for some fingerprints and never call you back. Stay away! Most of their jobs are for only a month max.
I secured a great contract assignment and was placed perm downtown afterwards. Happy with the consultants I worked with and the openings they offered.
While the contract I received from this agency was great they lied about a lot of what I would be doing. It was titled under "Secretarial" yet had absolutely nothing to do with any kind of administration. I was only being paid 14/h when the position said it would be 18/h and there was a lot of issue...
I don't know who is valerie she seems to be from agency and messaging in favour of it
Soo far you guys suck in your job this agency is worst agency ever i wish it to be sued for such a fake setup.
Such an unprofessional staff. So proud, un ethical and moral less approach.
I have had great experience working with ExcelHR and great step by step support from Nicole Preston. During my first days of work, she checked to see if i was comfortable with my work frequently, which made me feel that the company cares about their placement candidates. Furthermore, she has conti...
I received a great service from Excel HR. Colin and Natasha you guys are great. They have helped me out in my job search and has given me great opportunity.
Thank you and keep it up!!
I have been working for ExcelHR for the past five years. They always find me great contracts. Sonia always keeps in touch with me to know how am I doing. The whole staff is always very friendly and helpful. I am very proud to work for ExcelHR. The best agency in the Ottawa Region and highly recommen...
From a job-seeker's perspective I found Excel to be a well-run and professional company.
I didn't get a job instantly but you have to follow up with them, be active and let them know you are still looking which is fair. They always respond and follow up which is great. I got a job a month later.
I have been fortunate enough to have the privilege of being both a candidate and an employee of excelHR. As a candidate, I greatly appreciated the consultative guidance and the quick services that I had received from my consultant. I was even called to be considered for a job position within 24 hour...
Useless. I had a lot better luck with finding my own job. I DONT recommend using any employment agency.
I stated when applying through them that I wanted to branch out of sales and into Admin type positions. They kept referring me to sales jobs and telemarketing. I went to a different agency. It's obvious they where just trying to fill boots to get paid. Not happy with their service at all.
I wouldn't recommend anybody use this agency. They take massive cuts and if you decline positions they suggest they get upset and stop contacting you. Don't bother wasting your time with them. If you need a job I'd recommend just google searches or linkedin. Hope this helps some of you!
If I could give 0 star I would def do it. Poor management and unprofessional staff. They make you go to their office to waste your time. They take almost 40% of your income and will treat you badly. I DO NOT recommend this agency to anyone
I have been working for ExcelHr since a few years. Always good support. The employees web page is very easy to use and helpful.
I've been getting contract jobs through Excel for almost two years now. In fact, the 3 positions I've had have all been relevant to my degree. When I graduated university, I contacted them and they placed me immediately in a position that was directly related to my field of study. They're always qui...
Garbage agency where they tell you your rate is more than what is on your contract. When you mention that its not what it was mentioned; They tell you to "sign the form anyways and they will fix it to get the ball rolling". When you start the job and get your first pay the pay doesn't add up becaus...
I would like first of all to thank ExcelHR for their dedication and tireless work to help job seekers find a job and earning a living. Compared to other agencies that I have applied with, ExcelHR has been the only one that finds me job placement all the time for 3 years straight now. Of course, ther...
Got contacted after applying to a bunch of jobs on the site. Never heard from them again. Won t return emails, never had a job forwarded to me to apply. I emailed asking what else I could do To get more responses, nothing not a peep
Stacey at Excel HR was amazing! She not only helped me find Full time employment she also ensured that i was happily employed after the fact! I would also like to thank her co-worker Britney P who always assisted when Stacey was on the other line.
Great service and amazing firm to work with!
Excel is one of the best and biggest agencies in Ottawa. The recruiters are very professional and very personable. They helped me land the jobs I wanted. I have always been very vocal about the positions I am interested in and also very vocal about when and what kind of jobs I am looking for at the ...
Very impressive office. Big and clean "Fish Tank" offices. The receptionist is always friendly. The job agents genuinely care about obtaining suitable employment for candidates. Highly suggest anyone looking for a job to give ExcelHR a try.
excelHR truly cares about the work they doing, their staff, and placing qualified candidates. I am proud to work for such a motivated, hard working, and passionate company!
I have nothing to say except good experience with ExcelHr. It's very hard to find a good job especially when I'm a newcomer; however, under the contract with excelHR I had the opportunity to work with good organisations and found a good job after 6 months. Thank you Nomin for your support. Highly re...
Love this recruiting agency! They got me a contract within a week of interviewing with them.
here what you need to know:
- if you expect them to find you a job quickly (without searching yourself), dont expect to work much
- they mostly dont call in summer
- they don't communicate between them, it's normal to receive 2 calls from 2 different employee for the same job offer
- some of the...
We are fortunate to work with the best staffing firm in the city! The management, culture, care, great team and rewards are part of why our clients and candidates keep coming back!
Been with them for almost a year and still no work.
Choose another employment agency. They are negligent and could care less about the safety of their employees. They care about making money and have no regard for the law. They don t conduct proper background check on its clients. Do your own research and you will see many other people who have worke...
I received a tremendous service with ExcelHR. The staff is very helpful and works as much as they can to help you find a suitable job. They are very quick and easy to deal with. As compared to other agencies, i have been with, this is the best in Ottawa. I worked with Stecy and her team and i found ...
Signed up two years ago. I never got a job from them. They asked me to get a security clearance so I paid and got it done. Never was called back for an interview they have never met me and dont know anything about me besides what's on paper.
Extremely fast placement - within a couple of days of applying, and a perfect fit! Sonia and the whole team were friendly, professional, and very helpful.
Amazing agency! I got a full time position after 1 week of meeting with a consultant. I love my new job and this position is really in the field that I was looking for. I would recommend for anyone that is looking for any office experience.
Do not recommend this agency either, same reasons as the other reviews before where they do not ever contact you back and only have certain favourites who they contact.
I don't even want to give this place 1 star! WORST couple months of my life dealing with this business! What a joke! The receptionists were nice and very helpful until they handed me off to Coleen McPherson! What a MISTAKE that was. She is so unprofessional and rude, I have NO idea how she was hired...
I registered with this pretentious agency 3 months ago and still no work. I get very inconsiderate replies when enquiring about any potential temp work, saying, "I am concentrating on placing my bilingual applicants first". Despite completing all of their online IT tests and scoring 90% in all 3 t...
Professional and friendly staff eager to help you fulfill your career objectives. They're motivated and work fast to help you land that ideal job. Highly recommended!!!!
I have been dealing with Excel HR for 5 years. So far I secured 3 positions through them. Here is my review of them:
Pros:
1) They know how to set their rate to win positions, which gives people who register with them a higher chance of getting a job
2) All their agents were polite with me and pr...
Sent in resume and applied to a few jobs myself. Nothing from them at all. I am a university graduate so I was expecting at least something. It's free to put apply but don't expect anything from them.
