'Go
Public' piece included inaccuracies on the work of the firm in
recruiting skilled, hard-working international job candidates.
EDMONTON,
Alberta, Canada (April 16, 2014) -- On April 14, 2014, as part of
its "Go Public" series, CBC News published an article and
video on the hiring of temporary foreign workers in Canada,
specifically in the western provinces. The article detailed alleged
accounts of discrimination against Canadian employees in favor of
international workers.
In
one portion of the article, CBC News's Kathy Tomlinson reported on
Actyl
Group's role in recruiting international workers,
misquoting President and CEO Linda West and including number of
inaccuracies. One of the biggest errors was that Actyl does not work
with the Victoria company featured in the article.
Actyl
Group has issued the following statement from West regarding the
article:
"From
its inception, Actyl Group has always been a no-fee charging company,
which means that employers who use our services pay our recruiting
service fees - and no one else. We take great pride in offering
life-changing opportunities to people, including both Canadian and
international job candidates, as well as helping Canadian businesses
grow and hire more skilled employees. We have a wonderful team of
professionals who operate with the highest level of integrity that is
at the core of everything they do.
Considering
this, we were extremely disappointed that Canada's national public
broadcaster, the CBC, would misrepresent facts and misquote me
personally, altering the meaning of what I said as I described the
work of the Actyl team. The fact remains that we always do our best
to recruit Canadian workers first, turning to international
candidates when we do not receive an adequate number of applications
to fill needed positions. We hope this sets the record straight on
our company's role in helping businesses throughout Canada grow and
thrive."
