I should know, I've flown internationally with them enough times, but I can't remember.
They use employees of other Airlines in the Star Alliance.

In Hong Kong, whenever I've flown with Air Canada, the gate agents, the agents at the check-in counters were almost all wearing United Airline tags. It makes more sense since UA most likely has more flights than AC going into HK everyday. I very seldom see Air Canada name tags until I get on the flight.
