It doesn't matter whether it's Burnaby or DT.

I worked Downtown for Robert Half Technology and covered the whole of the lower mainland. I was new to Vancouver and it was a great start for me - I had never been a recruiter before but have a strong IT background so I was able to understand the requirements and what my candidates were telling me and was very successful. A lot of recruitment consultancies/agencies hire 'sales' people without an IT or Finance background so Robert Half really stands out as different.

Yeah I worked with Jen C for a short time. Are you with Robert Half in Oz?

John P has just become Branch Manager for DT Vancouver...which is good news for any accountants out there as he is an Expat too and is a really good recruiter.
