I sent in my resume to Hunt Personnel and a few other Vancouver temp agencies on a Friday. The following Tuesday, I got a call from Pat - she had looked at my resume and noticed some skills that, while they weren't really necessary for the position that I'd originally applied for, made me an excellent fit for a higher-paying position that hadn't yet been posted AND happened to be very relevant to my personal interests as well. I interviewed for the higher-paying position over the phone on Tuesday afternoon, came in to Hunt on Wednesday to follow up with them and do testing and paperwork, and started my new full-time job on Thursday, less than six days since I'd originally sent in my resume. By the end of the first week, my manager was already asking about whether I might be interested in a permanent role.

Of the other temp agencies, one did eventually email me. None called.

Your mileage may vary, of course, but I have a hard time imagining how my experience could have been better. Perhaps if there had been free cookies.
