Got a call from them this afternoon... On a Sunday!  Story seems to match up. Somthing about finding my resume online and wanted to know if I was still looking...

Please stop these idiots from bothering people.. Workopolis - you look really bad for letting this continue.. Do something!!!!

Recv'd call from Ant & Bee (1-(416) 646-2811)claiming they are calling regarding a job position for me. Upon further questioning, found out they just wanted me to be a telemarketer. Apparently found my resume on Workopolis, but if they had taken the time to actually read my resume, they would have found out I am an Office Administrator and Finance Assistant. Gotta love to hate cold calls!

FYI - Ant and Bee is a reputable Recruiting Firm they specialise in IT, but have a variety of opportunities. Over 80% of their business is with the Provincial Government.  I do not know where you got the idea that they are a telemarketing company.  They do work 9-9 Mon to Fri and 11-9 on Sat and Sun so that they can meet the needs of their candidates as most candidates are working Mon-Fri, 9-5.

I recieved a call early April, and told them I wasn't available to work right away until I finished this course (I also asked them where they found my email and she could not give me an answer), then they called me again this week, asked if I was available for a government job, gave me specific start and end dates, and asked me about my experience again. I have been recruited before from a different agency to work in Government and that worked well, but Ant & Bee wants me to call them back and see if I got the position. Usually from an agency, It's yes you got it & can you start tomorrow, or no it's not a good match, but they don't call u unless there is a definite interview. I don't know if it is legit or not yet, but i'll report soon, because when I left the MOHLTC, they said all the contract jobs were being terminated...hmmmmm. We'll see.

Relax! Ant and Bee is an actual recruiting agency in Toronto. Their website is not great and staff come from a variety of ethnic and linguistic backgrounds -which is normal in Canada. They have actual jobs that pay real money -permanent, part-time and contract -across a wide range of sectors. I did a 6 month contract through them as project manager for a policy development program with the government of Nunavut in the arctic. It was a great job and exposed me to a place I would have ever seen if not for their hard work getting me the position. They are many things, but illegitimate they are not. cheers Robert
