Questions
General Labour Job Questions
Can I get a general labour job in Toronto with no experience?
Yes, for many entry-level jobs. You need to be on time, work safely and follow the supervisor. Tell your recruiter if you have trades or event experience.
Are there same-day or short jobs?
Sometimes, when an employer needs a crew quickly. Keep your phone on after you apply so a recruiter can reach you.
What do I need to bring?
Safety boots at minimum, and many sites also want a hi-vis vest. Your recruiter tells you what the site requires before you start.
Is there a fee to apply?
No. A temporary help agency cannot charge workers a fee in Ontario, and we never do.
