MaxSys

Constant micro-management. Employees were discouraged from interacting with each other. Was constantly questions what I was talking to co-workers about and told not to talk to them, even about work related matters, and to get back to my computer and make phone calls. 

Employees are expected to have their butts in seats at 8:00 and not a second later, and you're in trouble if you're even a minute late, but no thanks is given for working through lunch or after hours which is sometimes expected. 

Effort made beyond what is expected (and there are quotas for everything) is not recognized. Training is minimal and procedures are constantly changing. I have been told to do one thing, then told to do the opposite the next day; it is never clear what expectations are.

Management makes it pretty clear they don't care about you and that you are replaceable. The president of the company had conversations with middle management in front of employees saying they could fire people if they felt like it. 

President also told (not asked, told) employees to write positive reviews of the company on indeed to boost the rating. I did (for fear of being terminated arbitrarily) and have since removed it for a more honest review. 

Was promised (in my interview AND in my contract) that commissions would be paid monthly but management always had an excuse for not paying these out. Some employees waited up to 6 months for commissions. Performance bonuses were also offered and awarded but, again, never paid out.

Was also promised benefits as soon as my probation was over but had to remind management several times to complete the paperwork. Got a very strong impression that the process was deliberately being dragged out. 

Was told explicitly by my director to lie to candidates and clients. 

The only positive aspect of this job are the co-workers who are all very supportive but unfortunately there is a very high turnover rate.

Save yourself the grief and don't work here.

I have had the privilege of working at MaxSys as a recruiter, and I couldn't be happier with my experience. From day one, I was welcomed into a dynamic and supportive team, and it has been an absolute pleasure being a part of this company.

MaxSys has provided me with an environment that encourages personal and professional growth. The leadership team is not only approachable but genuinely cares about the well-being and success of their employees. They offer guidance, mentorship, and ample opportunities for skill development.

One of the aspects that stand out most about MaxSys is their commitment to a positive work culture. The atmosphere here is inclusive, collaborative, and empowering. It's a place where creativity is encouraged, and where your contributions are recognized and valued.

As a recruiter, I've had the chance to work on exciting projects and connect with amazing talent. MaxSys equips its team with the tools and resources needed to excel in the field. They emphasize the importance of work-life balance, which is greatly appreciated.

In addition, the company's mission and values align with my own, making it easy to be passionate about the work I do here. The sense of purpose and impact that MaxSys delivers in the recruiting industry is truly inspiring.

I would highly recommend MaxSys to anyone looking for a rewarding career in recruitment. If you're seeking a company that values its employees, promotes growth, and fosters a positive and collaborative work environment, MaxSys is the place to be. I am grateful to be a part of this fantastic team and am excited about the future at MaxSys.

I had the pleasure of working for Maxsys Staffing as a recruiter for 19 months. 

I would highly recommend this position to anyone who is looking to gain HR recruiting experience. 

A typical workday would consist of screening resumes, interviewing new applicants and following up with all of our clients. I learned how to skim through 100's of resumes in a timely matter and choose the best possible candidate for an open position. 

Management was great and I enjoyed working with my branch manager, directors and vice presidents. The culture is all about productivity and results. 

The hardest part of this job is dealing with associates that accept a job and do not show up. This is why you need to interview new people daily to ensure you have a long list of associates ready to go at any given time. 

The most enjoyable part of my job was getting good people to work. I saw the positive change it made in their lives and that's what made me love this role. You need to connect with your associates on a personal level and really get to know them and that will help you find the best possible position for them.

MaxSys has the potential to be a great company but the leaders in the organization are blind to see the changes in the industry (like technology upgrades). They dedicate themselves to buy companies instead of investing in their own people.

The president demanded that all employees post positive reviews on Indeed to change the ratings instead of making appropiate changes to benefit the company, that speaks volumes on the way things are run.

One way it deals with high debt because of buying corporations is to offer lower salaries and rock bottom benefits compared to the industry, also no bonuses for recruiters.

All employees are asked to work nights and weekends to respond to clients and candidates, but never think of taking a personal day or arrive late or leave early because it is an insult. Employees need to be flexible for the company but the company is not flexible towards its employees.

I hope these words help to reshape the current way of doing things

I had a great experience with my employment opportunity via Maxsys.

Usually I'd get to work, quickly chat with a few colleagues, who were all friendly btw, grab a coffee and begin my day. Something that really stands out was the collaborative nature that I noticed. People were willing to help one another if there was a really challenging issue and also show someone how something was done; it was refreshing to have colleagues take some time to help in such a manner.

Management was great as well, not a lot of interaction in real time, but lots of meetings and I suppose in some respects that is a good thing, as you are free to accomplish a lot during core working hours. I think it speaks to the positive culture as well.

I would say the hardest part of the job would be challenging situations at times, however myself and fellow colleagues are experienced and always remained composed during client interactions, as everyone is/was a professional.

Thank you!!!

In all of my working years, I could not be happier than I am today with  the company that I am employed with. Since my first day as an employee with MaxSys, my direct manager, VP and president as well as the rest of the team at MaxSys have been more than welcoming, friendly and has always made me feel like I am a valuable asset to the team. Great working environment on both branch and management level. Staff moral is present on a daily basis and recognition for achievements are over and above what most companies would provide for their staff. Regular semi annual refresher training courses and retreats ensure our team remains strong and allows for continuous improvement. I could not be a part of a better team. 

A big thank you to MaxSys for giving me the opportunity to be a part of such a wonderful operation.

Working with Maxsys was an all around GREAT experience. I work for the government of Canada and one can be a little skeptical of these agencies, however MaxSys explained how they work and how they want to help find you the best contract, before signing anything (no pressure). The honesty that the recruiter gives you builds a great foundation and relationship, so that you are OPEN to working with them, and OPEN to different opportunities. I believe registering with MaxSys is something any government employee should do, there is really nothing to lose, and only contracts to gain!

MaxSys GSI has helped me get my foot in through the door to my career as a recent post-graduate. Their staff is friendly and flexible, and this can be noticed the moment you walk through the front doors of the company. They are a highly active equal opportunity firm, constantly helping job-seekers, who would otherwise be at a disadvantage, to find suitable positions. Particularly notable is their impact on helping newcomers (with no North American experience) to secure positions with reputable clients. 
Furthermore, the company is ISO Certified, demonstrating their reputation for excellence in quality management and CRM. Who wouldn't want MaxSys to help them in their career path?

I got 1 job placement thru MaxSys, a warehouse position that was a decent place to work. Upon completion of 3 months of temp work there and the day I was to receive a full time job offer from the company, I was pulled in to the office at the end of the day and told I would not be offered employment and had to leave the building immediately due to the fact they found I had a criminal record for cannabis related charges.

Its baffling that MaxSys did not know a clear criminal record was a condition of employment at this warehouse and sent me there for 3 months just to be sent away at the end. On top of this, I never heard another word from MaxSys ever again. Terrible business practices. 

MaxSys is a great place to work! The outstanding teamwork and the family-like atmosphere is very rewarding. I absolutely love the people I work with from coast to coast.

There is lots of room for growth, and advancement within the company if you work hard. There is a great deal of diversity in the work I do, there is never a dull day!  

The team works extremely hard to make sure the needs of our clients and customers are exceeded. 

Since the day I started, MaxSys has grown from a single branch and now we have 12 branches across Canada and we are still growing aggressively. 

I am looking forward to see what the future holds!
