There office is in Newfoundland, 7 Plank Road St John's, NL A1E 1H3. Or Pivot Industries

The reason i ask, cant find them on the net. But i did meet a rep at the Canada,s East coast trade fair in Croke park in November

Any information on them would be great.

Done that myself mate. A bit doggey eh:)

Quiet you

I'm in the same boat. I'd have thought if they were big enough to be looking at recruiting overseas they'd at least have a website.

Mind if I ask did you get an email from them asking for a C.V. and talking about interviews and a need for tradesmen in 2012?

Ive been all over the net, no sign of them. I got a mail with an online form attachment with my name on it, asking me to fill out my CV details.

Havent sent them anything. I just dont trust it, Who ever it is. For all i know a third party could have got my details from them etc.

The guy at the Trade Fair for pivot just didnt settle well with me. He was not interested at all. Gave very little details. If he represent a company of mine and i found out how represented my Company abroad, he would be shovelling it for the rest of his life.

I was not impressed.

I got the same email and link. The format was the same as the application they had me fill out at the jobs expo so I figured they just wanted an electronic version that didn't have sloppy handwriting.

I'm starting to think that maybe that wasn't the brightest of moves since I only bothered to research them after I had clicked the submit button which led me to this thread incidentally. However there's not much harm they can do with the information I gave them.

As far as the representative went, he seemed ok to me. He was a bit stand off'ish until I started asking some specific technical questions which warmed him up a bit. I was left with no specifics about pay or conditions though.

To be honest I'm expecting them to offer me a job, then ask for money so they can set up an account and get me a visa etc only to never be heard from again.

I found their ad on fas today and filled out the application. The website seems very badly designed and once the application was filled out it didnt redirect me to a list of jobs they have available. which is what i was expecting to be honest.
The fas ad said they are seeking 50 electricians yet the website offers no information as to the manner of installation they need them for.
Seems a bit hinky but hope im wrong:D
Did a little more snopping and it seems legit. found some articles about 2 of the company directors on bloomberg businessweek website (related to other companies) but still im satisfied that this isnt some kind of "hey heres a job! now just give me your credit card details" sort of timewaste.
Damn recession makes everyone paranoid.

isn't it illegal to ask you for money to find you a job?

Seems dodgy and wouldn't like to uproot only to end up working 9 hours drive north away from civilisation - bit like The Shining.
