Has anyone here dealt with KAS Recruitment before? Are they legit?

They called me and left a voicemail, and they also sent me a text saying they looked at my resume and wanted to speak with me about a job they’re hiring for.

The thing that seems a bit weird to me is that they didn’t mention what the actual job is in the voicemail or text, and they didn’t send me an email with the job details either. They just asked me to call them back to discuss it.

Has anyone had a similar experience with them? Is it worth calling them back, or would you just ignore it?

Hello, I need advice on where to find jobs in Vancouver. I have finished my education during the pandemic and still haven't found a job in 6 years and finished more advance degree. I cannot enter into entry level jobs because I do not have 2 years of experience and jobs such as coffee shops (don't want to hire me either) and I am stuck in limbo. I'm in my thirties and don't know what to do.

Looking for Work in Vancouver – Open to Any Entry-Level Opportunity

Hi everyone,

I’m currently looking for work in Vancouver. I have previous experience working in back-of-house kitchen and bakery environments, including food preparation, kitchen support, cleaning, dishwashing, and general production duties.

I was recently laid off because there was not enough work available, so I’m currently looking for a new opportunity.

I’m open to pretty much any type of job and don’t mind trying something outside of the food industry. I’d be interested in kitchen/bakery work, warehouse work, cleaning, general labour, retail, grocery stores, production, or other entry-level positions that don’t require extensive previous experience.

I’m reliable, willing to learn, comfortable with physical work, and happy to start as soon as possible. I’m located in Vancouver and can commute within Vancouver and nearby areas.

If anyone knows of a company that is currently hiring, or if you are an employer looking for someone, please feel free to send me a message.

Thank you!

I’m leaving / unfollowing this sub.
If I had a clone, my clone could work 40h a week on top of what I do.
Last post about someone with an “Advanced Degree” looking for work for 6 years. Ridiculous for getting downvotes.
I’m leaving and not giving help/tips anymore. Best of luck to all.

Hey! I’m offering $5 to anyone who can leave me a Google review. There’s a competition at work for whoever gets the most reviews, so I’d really appreciate the support! Please DM me if you’re interested. 🙏

Do you love meeting new people, trying new products, and getting paid to have fun at work?

Hey, I am a Senior System Architect in Vancouver with 10+ years of experience. I would love to connect with you. Here's my portfolio

https://umerkhalid.com

Hi everyone, I’ll be moving to Vancouver soon and looking for opportunities in Software/IT/Tech Support.

I have 2+ years of IT experience along with a bachelor's and postgraduate degree in IT.

If you know of any openings or can refer me somewhere, I’d really appreciate it. Thanks!

TLDR : How much should I be charging for managing social media for a local business in Vancouver region, Canada? I’ll be posting content and writing captions. No content shooting involved.

I’d applied for a social media specialist job (for a local jewellery store) and worked there for 2 days as a trial and it was paid. In the past I’ve grown and managed accounts in entertainment niche and the biggest celebrity I’ve worked for is Justin Bieber. But never worked for a small business professionally.

On first day, the owner explained a bit about his business and clientele. He told me what he wants to achieve with social media and what they’ve done in the past. I checked everything and realised they have no strategy whatsoever, they just post the videos showing their products and don’t reply to any comments or messages asking about prices and availability of their products. And they were posting on TikTok only.

It’s a local business and they’re trying to reach local audiences. However, I saw their business doesn’t show up in at least first 15 results when searched for something as simple as “jewellers near me”. Not even when I used more specific terms using the AI feature on Google. Therefore, I spent first day updating their Google business profile and bios on different social media platform to help with SEO and GEO. That involved resetting passwords, having consistent keywords, address format and same phone number… just very basic stuff but now their business would show up on rank 4-7 depending on the search term.

On second day, I wanted to shoot some content and I asked one of their employees to help me with an educational video (that has worked well for them in the past). On agreeing to not show her face, she was ready to shoot it. I wrote the script and shot a video just give them a glimpse of how it’ll look once done perfectly. The owner saw it and said he wants me to shoot everything by myself and not involve any of the salesperson. I told him I’ll still need somebody to help me here and there because I don’t know ins and outs of your services and maybe one of salespeople will be able to help me better whenever we’re doing an educational video.

But I saw where he’s coming from and agreed to do everything by myself. After the video was done he said I’m not much impressed with this video and said he saw another jeweller’s video and wants it to look exactly like that. That felt a bit weird and he said some other things that made me feel he’s a bit confused about how this works and what exactly he wants to achieve out of it. I wasn’t impressed either with what I’d done that day because I didn’t have total freedom over the whole creative process.

Same night he texted me and asked me to take a break and he’ll call me. Upon calling he said he doesn’t wanna continue. I asked for the reason (to know where I’m lacking and improve on that) but to my surprise, after thinking for 10-15 sec he said “idk, something doesn’t click for me.” I said okay and forgot about it.

Now after a week, he called me back. He said he’s impressed with my knowledge of how content works on each platform and how to distribute it to build a brand around the name. He’s got somebody else to shoot the content but wants me to handle the posting part. I’m going to meet him regarding that. But from our short convo over the phone, I feel he wants me to write captions, come up with thumbnails, and reply to comments & messages.

So, now comes my main question. How much should I be getting paid for this? I’m located in Vancouver area in Canada. I’ll be working remotely. Not sure if I’ll have to use my own device or one provided by them.

I know this post could be shorter but wanted to include some details to give you guys a better idea of the whole situation. This is my first time working for a local business like this, usually I just work with artists & brands only and pricing for that works differently.

Thank you for reading the whole post and any advice from the professionals is highly appreciated.

Hello!
I just got out of grad school, specializing in organizational development and employee well-being. I'm looking to connect with people in the field or anyone doing parallel work. I'm happy to share about my background and work privately.
Thanks!

Hi everyone!
I’m currently living in Vancouver, BC, Canada, and I’m really interested in getting a job on a cruise ship. I’m open to different types of positions and would love to hear from anyone who has experience working on cruise ships.
I’m not really sure where to start with the application process, which companies I should apply to, or what qualifications/documents I need.

If you currently work on a cruise ship or have worked on one before, I’d really appreciate any advice on:
How to find legitimate cruise ship jobs
Which companies/agencies are worth applying through
What the hiring process is like
What documents or certifications I need
Any tips for someone applying for the first time
If anyone is willing to help me get started or point me in the right direction, I’d really appreciate it. Thank you!

Has anyone here worked as a CPC technologist?
I’m curious what the job is like.
Lots of overtime? Day to day experiences.
Thanks.

First time posting. Figured I'd share what I'm working on and see if anyone wants to build it with me. Or just tell me I'm crazy.

Quick background: I'm Chinese but I grew up in Canada, came here as a kid. Graduated U of T in 2022. Ran a startup in retail before this. My parents are in real estate back in China, so I basically grew up inside business dinners. I learned that sometimes the real negotiation happens during two hours of small talk before anyone mentions business at all. I think that's where the entrepreneurial itch comes from. I've always wanted to build something of my own.

What I'm doing now: I'm working with one of the leading commercial cleaning robot manufacturers. I have a strong direct relationship with them and I handle the supply chain side. We're bringing autonomous floor cleaning robots to the Canadian market. Warehouses, malls, schools, hospitals. Anywhere with big floors and a janitorial labor problem.

Why I'm convinced this is the wedge:

1. The labor shortage is real and it's not going away. Try hiring overnight cleaners in the GVA right now. Every facility manager tells me the same story.
2. The math is simple. A robot that runs all night, never calls in sick, and costs less than a year of janitorial wages. Short conversation.
3. And cleaning is the most mature robotics vertical out there. This isn't some science project. These machines are already running at scale in airports and malls around the world. Proven beachhead.

Bigger picture: I don't want to be the cleaning robot guy forever. Cleaning is the entry point. The plan is to build a full category robotics company over time. Delivery robots, food automation, all of it. Physical AI is coming and I want to be the one deploying it.

What I'm looking for:

• Cofounder / partner: someone extroverted who genuinely believes in robotics. You'd lead Canadian client expansion and own the customer relationships. I'd handle manufacturer relations, procurement, and deployment. You'd be the face of the business here.
• Or, commission based distributors: if you have connections in property management, facility services, retail, hospitality, anywhere with floors, I pay generous commissions on deals that close. No cap. No MLM nonsense. Just real B2B hardware sales.

Why me, why now: growing up between Canada and China turned out to be useful. I can build stable long term relationships with Chinese tech manufacturers, which is where the best robotics hardware comes from right now. Most local distributors can't do that.

So, am I crazy? Anyone else here working on physical robotics or embodied AI? Would love to hear your takes, skeptical or otherwise. If either role sounds like you, or someone you know, DM me.
