I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Atlas Promotions (Vaughan, ON) in June 2020
Interview
This company is certainly a scam with red flags all over. They post their positions via a recruitment company, that only posts their positions! Obviously just a front. Their website is built around the work culture and the advancements etc. It mentions NOTHING on the actual services this alleged marketing company offers. As I was waiting for my interviewer, I could hear the admin making calls to invite others for interviews. She was going through candidates at the speed of lightning. Often citing random, irrelevant experience on their resume so to give the illusion of legitimate interest.
The position posted (event assistant) was not the same position I interviewed for (brand ambassador with commissioned sales). The interview was stuffed with grand statements and promises of high earnings and advancements and management positions and travel, and less about the actual role. According to the interviewer, I would find out more about the actual role if I go to a second interview (that she revealed was tomorrow morning - as a matter of fact).
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Do you have leadership skills? Because we are looking to promote our entree level employees into leadership positions. What are the important core skills for a team that YOU would run? We are looking to promote to branch manager.
We are sorry to hear you had a negative experience at the company you have applied for; however, the company in which you have left the review is in Edinburgh, Scotland and not the same. It is our understanding that there is a company with the same name in Vaughan, Canada, but it is not ours.
We wish you the best of luck in your future endeavours.
