It is the same company. It simply changed its name in November 2022 to recognize the shift to an enhanced array of services to support companies and organizations throughout their HR functions. Tango is still a firm specializing in recruitment and hiring. If you were employed by Barbara Personnel Inc., your relationship with us remains the same under Tango – HR Solutions. We simply have more services to offer you!

You can count us to quickly let you know about positions meeting your expectations, sometimes even before they are published elsewhere.
No, our job support services are free for job seekers. Fees may apply for complementary services and some kinds of training.
It is useful to know that labour standards require that an employee who has used a placement agency have the same salary scale as an employee with the same job description in the company where they are hired. The salary scale must be taken into account in certain cases, according to the number of years of work and experience of the person.

- If you are under 16, you cannot work during school hours, nor between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m.
- If you are under 14, you must have written consent of a parent.
No. It is important to know that no employee has their salary reduced when working for a placement agency. Tango’s client, i.e. the company that uses your services, pays for our services.
Yes. We have an agreement with all our clients that lets them hire you when they choose to do so, sometimes in exchange for administrative fees or respecting a certain number of hours worked.
Yes, we respect all labour standards with regard to vacations, holidays and sick leave. We ask you to advise us at least two weeks before the requested date so that we can plan for our client’s needs while you are absent. Some companies hiring our employees close down during the holiday period or during the summer. We always offer the accumulated 4%.
That depends on the type of position you are applying for and our clients’ requirements. In several cases, when the job requires specific knowledge or expertise, we will test you so as to complete your job-seeking file.
