Report
The only jobs they sent me on were parking lot ushering at the U. of T. events for $10.00 an hour occasionally in the Winter months. They claim they have office work but when I called they said that all those listings were filled (I do office work), then the next day all those so-called office jobs would reappear, personally those are fake job postings. If you want low wage seasonal work sitting in a parking lot then these folks will help you out on that, but nothing else.

Report
I was a member of A 1 Personnel for 3 years and they never helped me get work. I personally went to their office in person because when I would call them, they would just tell me anything. When I went to their office in person, they looked up my information and did not see anything wrong with my profile. The entire office had only Latino folks working. I asked them why I was not being helped and they gave me no reason, in fact, they just left me standing in the waiting area. After standing there for 30 minutes without any assistance, I left. I recently called them to tell them to cancel my membership
