RDG Careers reviews and complaints
Breach of Contract
My name is Luke Henderson and I would like to submit a formal complaint with you regarding RDG Careers. I attended at their offices in the fall of 2008 as I had just returned from Korea and was looking for full time employment. I felt that since I had degrees in International Studies and spoke three languages including Chinese, Korean and English, a professional employment (headhunter) group should have little problem marketing me. My career advisor was Gordon MacKay and in the beginning they helped me frame my resume, cover letter and then were supposed to put my profile together to post on their networking system. They were very intense at selling their services but once I paid them $5000.00, their intensity dwindled very quickly. They were extremely slow at returning calls and emails, sometimes up to two or three weeks. I managed on my own to a contract job with Foreign Affairs in Ottawa in April 2009 where I am still working on contract, but since I still did not have a permanent position, I still needed the services of RDG Careers. The last time I had any contact with my advisor after countless emails and phone calls was about a year ago and he stated that we need to finalize a profile to put it online. He further stated that setting up meetings with managers and networking is the best way to go. He never contacted me after that. At the present I am prepared to retain legal counsel to recoup the $5000.00 fee as a Breach of Contact civil action.

Scam and cheating
Same old story, first the receiptionist behind glass window, then the directors and the fun they have at our expense.
Thanks to informed people posting here, I survived. If you still want to check it out, go there, have the Level 1 discussion, ask a lot of questions. See if you get concrete answer for any of your question.
They will desperately try to push you to attend the Level II discussion (with the partner !) .
If after all that your gut feelings permits to associate with them, blame no one latter as you are making an informed decision. And hope you survive without much damage.
Sorry for those guys who have burnt their fingers already.

I am a victim of RDG careers. I was cheated by Hameed and Murray J Nanhybida. I paid $6000 and they did NOTHING... Its useless to the core. They have no idea how a IT Resume looks like, I was made a fool... #saynotoRDG #MAHameedStealsYourMoney #MJNahnybidaKnowsNothing #RDGScam
Hello All,
I was called for an interview by TPS associates. The first interview went as everybody in this page described. Thanks to the reviewers posting in this page, I did not attend the second interview. such an impolite, and desperate attitude I noticed in the first meeting by Steven D. Fischer.
Got a call from Emma? Says she likes my resume and would like me to come in for appointment. Ask if recruiter she say no where a proffesional employment service and if she could confirm appointment. Went in last week Tuesday and met with Steven fisher. He's a slimy greasy looking Jew with a cheap suit. As soon as I saw him I knew something was off. But never judge a book by its cover. BEWARE JUDGE THIS BOOK BY ITS COVER! They asked me to bring in my wife for a second interview did I? Hell no it's a scam! This grease ball didn't even pay attention to anything I had to say it's like he's so scripted... They are worse than recruiters! THEY CALL BLOCKED! And the phone person had a very attractive and friendly voice, sounded very professional ... Office is professional but this Steven Fischer not so much, if your that busy and make that many people happy why are you wearing a cheap thrift store suit? BEWARE THEY JUST WANT YOUR MONEY!
I just went out of their office at 1 young st. It's like everybody said. You have a really good profile... We only work with high level positions... I meet 15 people per day... Just choose 3... You are one of them... I am going to call you for a second interview... Where is your wife... Bla bla bla...please, be ware from TPSAssociates and Steven Fischer
Met a representative last week with TPSAssociates. His name is Steven (forget the last name). He is very concerned why my wife was not there with me at the second meeting. The "marketing" strategy Steven presented kind of make sense, until all the way at the end the most interesting part takes place --> fee structure. The fee is not listed anywhere, but written down by pen. A 3 year term, 2 year term and 1 year term working with them, with no guarantee of job, costs a few thousand bucks. Is this place/guy a SCAM I am not sure, but definitely "buyer beware".
Steven D. Fischer on 1st Yonge Street... I met him today for an "interview". Based on my experiences in other interviews, this interview was very strange. During the meeting, the questions and his body language were very suspicious, so I searched some information in Google and luckly I found this site. Second interview with my wife...STUPID..SCAMMER..
I recently went to an "interview" with a company call TPS Associates. They found my resume and wanted to discuss potential employment opportunities they have lined up.Right away, a slimy looking man greets me and we head off to a meeting room. He starts off by saying he sees 10-15 people a day. Only 3 make the cut as an ideal "fit" candidate. Funny, if there were that many people scheduled, I would figure there would be at least 1-2 people waiting at the reception. Nothing.
During our meeting, of course he told me I made the cut. Yay. I was told that TPS has a very high success rate at finding people jobs at the executive level. When asked if they are a headhunting company, the man just said they are more of a "marketing" company. They have vast underground networks of connections to hidden executive level jobs that not even the headhunters could get a hold off. Of course. I was told that they would make me extremely marketable for a small fee. Something that would not put me in financial strain. However no amount was given. When I ask what type of services they would provide to me, the man said, and I kid you not, "extremely valuable service". And that was it. I told him that it doesn't sound right that I have to pay them money immediately since they can not guarantee a job. He then goes on telling me that they are like real estate agents. They work on a small commission fee. Funny thing is, real estate agents only make the commission once they help a client sell or find a house. Unlike these clowns. What a loser.
Eventually I was asked to come in a for 2nd interview. This time with my wife. My wife? "This should concern her since this is a about you" was the reply I got when asked why I need my wife to be there. Its not like I am going to a swinger's party. At that point the only thing in my mind was getting the heck out of this scamming place. Thank god my instincts were on high alert. It doesn't take a genius to see through the shenannigens. I just wish something could be done to these scums.
A heads up to anybody: the company is now called TPS Associates. They are at 1 Yonge Street. The man goes by the name Steven D. Fischer.
Steven D Fischer now works at 151 Yonge Street - #1180, Toronto, Ontario, M5C 2W7
The new SCAM place is called - web site: www.youfindwork.ca
I went today to an interview today with "You Find Work" at 151 Yonge street with Steven D.Ficher B.A (vice-president). They have told me I was selected to be represented by them, and they wanted a second interview with my wife. That was really suspicious!
Thanks for shearing your experiences !
Friend of mine borrowed my MetroPass today and while returning it, I asked him purely out of idle curiosity where he had gone as this is the first time he has asked for it not on a Friday.
He told me about their spiel and when he mentioned the spouse request, I was confused until I thought for sure that it was a pyramid scheme and thats why they wanted the spouse present.
Asked him to Google it and see if he could find anything and an e-mail from him with a link to this message board showed up within 5 minutes or him leaving my desk.
Their new name is Toronto Pathways and have a website at www.torontopathways.com
Needless to say, he wont be going back.
Also, I wouldnt hold out hope of them doing anything in Canada.
A company like this wouldnt last more than a couple of months south of the border, but here they are in heaven.
