1. How does a staffing company work?
Eagle places skilled workers with a wide variety of organizations. We work with these companies to understand their staffing needs and then review resumes, interview candidates and perform reference checks to determine the best match for each job. Depending on our clients’ requirements, we’ll either hire a contractor to fill a short term need, or we’ll place a professional in a permanent position.
2. How much does this service cost job seekers?
There is no charge to a person seeking employment. Staffing companies are generally compensated by their clients.
3. How does your recruiting process work?
All of our open jobs are posted in our Job Centre. We accept resumes for all types of technology, finance, or accounting positions, and contact the best qualified candidates for any open opportunity. Every resume we receive is carefully screened and put into our database so we can easily contact people who qualify for existing and future positions.
4. Who are your clients?
We have a large client list that spans across Canada and the United States. We are also on the preferred vendor lists for numerous organizations including government agencies and some of North America’s leading organizations.
5. Do you alter my resume to suit a particular position?
No, we will never alter the information on your resume. We may suggest changes to your resume; however, we will always contact you first before making any changes.
6. Will you present my resume without speaking to me first?
Never. Your resume is a private document and only you will authorize who sees it. As indicated in our privacy policy, we will always ask your permission before submitting your resume to any organization.
7. How many people in your organization will be actively seeking opportunities on my behalf?
Eagle is a team-based environment. That means that all of our Recruiters and Account Managers will be working together and sharing information to make sure that we find you the best match, quickly.
8. If you don’t find me something right away, how will you remember who I am?
Our database contains detailed information for every applicant. We will always refer to this information as new opportunities arise.
9. How long are contract assignments?
The length of any contract assignment varies depending on the needs of the client and their project(s). Contracts can range anywhere from a few days to a year. Our clients will often offer extensions on contracts.
10. Do you offer any benefits?
We assist our consultants as much as possible in educating them on where they can go to get information regarding specific benefits such as training, health benefits, and dental plans, though ultimately the responsibility lies with the individual consultant, as direct provision of benefits of this nature would pose co-employment risks for both the client and the candidate. However, we are in a partnership with LMS PROLINK to offer insurance to independent contractors who work with Eagle at a reduced monthly rate.
Candidates that are offered full-time employment become an employee of the hiring company and receive their benefit package.
11. How does Eagle help with international contracts?
If you qualify for and decide to take a contract outside of Canada, Eagle will assist you in preparing all the necessary required documentation. We also have a partnership with an insurance company in the United States to provide you the insurance you’ll need.
12. What else can I expect from Eagle?
When you work with Eagle, you gain access to many more benefits. We will keep you informed about new developments within the industry and the job market with our monthly newsletters. Our contractors can order an Eagle personalized nameplate and can take advantage of the opportunity to become an Eagle Elite Contractor. Candidates looking for full-time employment will gain access to numerous unadvertised jobs.
13. I am looking for a new position in technology, finance, or accounting, what is the best way to get started with Eagle?
The best place to start is our Job Centre. We list all of our current jobs within the Job Centre. If you find a position that that meets your skills, you can submit your resume directly to that job. If, at the time, there are no positions that interest you, you can still submit a resume. Our recruiters will contact you when there is a position that matches your qualifications.
14. Do you have access to positions in other cities in Canada, the U.S or internationally?
Yes. We have offices in 10 cities across Canada that service the needs of our clients across Canada, in the U.S. and internationally.
15. How do I get an interview with a recruiter?
We receive thousands of resumes every month. For that reason, recruiters focus on meeting candidates who match the current and anticipated needs of our clients. To submit your resume and to be considered for all positions, please visit our Job Centre.
16. Once you’ve reviewed my technical skills and understand my career goals, how will you find me a job?
After we’ve had a chance to get to know you, review your goals and your skills, your information is put into our national database. The entire Eagle Team has access to this information and will compare your information to open jobs until we find one that meets your requirements.
17. What types of positions do you staff?
We offer all kinds of positions in technology, finance, and accounting at all skill levels. Please see our Job Centre for a list of our current opportunities.
