Kelsey is amazing!!! I met her via Zoom on a Wednesday and was offered a job on Thursday the following week. I appreciated how Kelsey listened to me and took her time to get to know me. Kelsey knows her job and her clients very well. She made me feel comfortable and represented me well. Thank you, Kelsey for helping me land the job of my dreams!! read more

I was contacted by Danielle Parker and I don't even know where to start. Danielle was extremely professional and beyond her professionalism she was also kind, encouraging and brilliant. She listened intently and was genuinely interested in finding something that fit for me and fit for a firm - she didn't just throw anything at me, she was dedicated to finding a good fit. I can't thank Danielle enough, she is the best! read more

Melissa Frederickson and the team at Adams & Martin Group are hands down the best recruiting team in San Diego! I was blown away by Melissa's professionalism, diligence, knowledge and kindness. She makes you feel like you're the most important person in the room. I am grateful for her assistance and guidance throughout the entire process. Melissa went above and beyond to learn about me as a person and used that knowledge to match me with a great firm. Thank you Melissa and the A&M. You guys are AMAZING! read more

I had a great experience working with Kelsie. She was always super nice, helpful and responsive. She helped me find my current job which I love. read more

I had become a paralegal later in life after my kids were all in high school. I worked for the same employer for almost eight years in a very stressful position. I left after this period thinking I might retire, but soon realized that my income made a difference to the family and I began looking for work again. I did not want full time work and I wanted something with a reasonable commute. At my age I was uncertain whether I would find something that met these criteria. Melissa Frederickson was the person assigned to me at Adams & Martin. She took the time to listen to what I wanted and encouraged me. Before interviews she and others there gave me a run down regarding what I should expect at that particular work place and who would be interviewing me. They gave me suggestions for the best way to present myself and my skills. I worked in two temporary positions and was reviewed well. Melissa encouraged me to interview at a downtown firm that was looking for someone who would work less than full time, but whom they would hire permanently, if they liked their work. Melissa had met with the people at that office and was convinced that they would be a great match for me. I interviewed, was hired on the spot and have since been converted from a temp-to-hire to an employee of that firm. I love it there. The people and the atmosphere are wonderful and the pay is very good. I'm very grateful to Adams & Martin, and especially to Melissa. I recommend them highly. read more

I greatly enjoyed my time working with Ms. Melissa Frederickson, Esq., who's the best staffing recruiter I've ever worked with in 20 years! I met Melissa at UCSD Extension-Paralegal program in 2017. I learned that she has a lot of years working in the legal industry, which makes her a well-rounded recruiter. Also, she's a great listener, has a great personality, and she offered me excellent tips to make me more marketable to employers. It was very important for me to know that I was working with a recruiter who truly cared about me because after serving 12 years in the Navy, I was uncertain about my future as an entry-level paralegal. She reassured me that I had a lot of potential to succeed and that working in the legal industry was a great career move. Since day one, Melissa advocated for me and helped me find a temporary paralegal position for the holidays. My assignment was to work for an attorney with 30 years of experience who taught me a lot about civil litigation; it was a great experience. After successfully completing that assignment with A & M, I was able to secure a full time position as Career Case Manager for a social services agency. From personal experience, I believe that Adams & Martin is the best legal staffing agency in San Diego! Highly recommend it! read more

I absolutely LOVE working with this agency!!! And I have worked for a lot of different legal agencies off and on over 15+ years. I seriously can't say enough good things about working with Kathy Gershwind....she literally goes over and beyond what other recruiters do....there's no comparison as she outshines them all!! She places me with incredible firms that have been stellar assignments and with top-notch pay....I seriously can't ask for better. She is seriously the BEST with the BEST agency!!! If you're looking for a top-notch recruiter with a fantastic agency that will treat you like gold, than look no further....this is the place for you!! read more

Adams & Martin Group matched me with the perfect job and assisted me throughout the entire process. Melissa Frederickson went above and beyond to learn about me as a person and an attorney and used that knowledge to match me with the perfect firm. Melissa made sure to speak with me before and after each interview every step of the way. She ensured I was prepared for the interviews and that she knew how to properly follow up with the firm on my behalf following each interview. I cannot thank Melissa and AMG enough for their time and efforts to find me the perfect position! read more

I have had the pleasure of working with this amazing agency, specifically with Madison Nicolao who is such a great person and pleasure to work with. She was amazing throughout the whole process making this transition very enjoyable with high professionalism and dedication, it felt just right from the start. The treatment and attention I received was of the upmost and reliable, super simple, truly personal. I highly encourage people to consider this agency for your next employment search. Talk to Madison, she's awesome! Best of luck! read more

I moved back to California after living in Texas for a few years. I was nervous about getting back into the work force with very little legal experience. I reached out to AMG and work with Kelsie who genuinely listened and cared about me. She was also empathetic to my situation and worked diligently to find me my dream job that would prepare me for my future endeavors. She went over my resume and prepared me for those intimidating interviews! She kept in touch with me constantly via email, phone and even texts. I get to work at a large firm in San Diego near one of my favorite beaches. If you are in search for legal positions, I cannot recommend Kelsie and the rest of the AMG team enough. read more

Kristy Carbajal and Melissa Frederickson are easy to work with and effective legal recruiters who know the inside scoop and can quickly help get you to where you need to be. They are super efficient at interviewing and screening you, and getting you to an interview for a job where you will be happy. Always pleased to work with them and hear about some potential clients. read more

Melissa Frederickson was wonderful! She took the time to get to know me and what my career interest are. Melissa found some amazing job opportunities for me and kept my schedule busy with interviews. I especially appreciated the extra time she took to get me ready for interviews. Melissa worked around my schedule and even called after her work hours to prep me with who's who at the companies and tips on what or what not to say. read more

I highly recommend Melissa Frederickson from Adams & Martin Group as a recruiter. She reached out to me the moment she received my resume and found a few excellent career opportunities for me right away. She was diligent in preparing me for each interview, even making sure to call me after work hours to make sure I was ready. She followed up with me every single day to give me updates. Finally, she was able to negotiate an amazing opportunity for me for my dream job with an excellent employer. I can't say enough great things about Melissa. She is truly the best recruiter I have ever worked with. read more

I came to interview in 2015, not one phone call from them to even inquire as to my status or interest in a position. I returned in 2017. Not one phone call from them to even inquire as to my status or interest in a position. In December 2017 I called on a position, and I had to ask what they were working on, and the only job that was on his desk was a position I applied for on my own. My experience level is outstanding and I interview very well but not through Adams & Martin I presume. read more

This staffing agency is simply outstanding! Unlike other ones in the area, they make sure you are taken care of, following up with you (and a potential employer) as often as possible, and doing their best to prepare you for interviews. Being in between jobs is a tough day-to-day situation. However, the people at Adams and Martin Group, Kristy Carbajal and Melissa Frederickson to name a couple, were empathetic to that situation while working hard to get an applicant their next opportunity. Will be contacting them in the future if the need arises! read more

This team rocks! I am a Mexican Attorney that decided to move to the States with the goal of practice Law in the Big Leagues. Fair is to say that I was sending resumes all over town and having interviews here and there without results. I got in contact with Melissa Frederickson and her team at Adams & Martin Group and after speaking with Melissa she decided to help me finding my first legal job in the U.S. She immediately started searching and was constantly in contact with me about different opportunities. A couple weeks later she contacted me with an interesting position, I went to the interview and here I am, working for a great firm with excellent work conditions and happy with this job. Melissa did an excellent work preparing me for each interview and she even called me at the end of them to give me feedback. Through the whole process she guided me step by step, she is a great couch and I am sure that if she could help me in my unique situation, she will definitely be able to help you. I certainly enjoyed the experience. I will definitely go back to Adams & Martin when the time comes to seek the next step on my professional career. read more

I am a litigation/legal secretary in San Diego and have been working with Melissa Frederickson, the Business Solutions Manager at the Adams & Martin Group. Melissa is an asset to her profession, She is great to work with and I appreciate all she has done for me. I look forward to working with her and other members of the team, knowing they do what is best in all situations. Thank you Melissa and Adams & Martin read more

I had a telephone conference appointment with Christina K., and cleared my calendar for the call. I never heard from Christina via phone, text or email. I found it to be unprofessional on her part. In this day and age, there is no excuse whatsoever of not emailing, calling or texting someone that they will not be available. She finally emailed me days later and apologized and said she was busy. Busy is not an excuse when there are other ways to communicate with someone and letting them know that you need to reschedule the appointment. I hope this is a learning experience for Christina! read more

I never thought I needed a recruiter to help me to find a job, in fact I avoided them. But, trying to find work on my own was draining and took up a lot of my time. I replied to an Adams & Martin ad on a job search site and this is the best professional decision I have ever made. Beyond just sharing available positions, my recruiter Raquel took the time to really listen to me, she provided career resources that supported my job hunt, and even coached me prior to sending me out on interviews. Working with Adams & Martin was a wonderful experience from beginning to end. Ultimately, I received an amazing job offer that I don't think I would have attained without their support. read more

I'm not sure what issues the reviewer below me had (if any), but I can't say enough great things about this place, especially Melissa, and we've barely scratched the surface! I too am relocating from another state (Maryland), but not until late Summer. I've spoken to one other recruiter a month or two ago, but just didn't feel comfortable continuing. It was then that I actually did research and Melissa's name kept popping up as one of the best:- so naturally, I reached out to her personally. She has been awesome! I feel much better about the transition and am completely aware that, as an out of stater, it's more realistic to wait until the move time approaches to expect complete results. In the meantime, I'm using that time to revamp some things and get my affairs in order to make the move as smooth as possible. Melissa has responded speedily and is so personable! I'm super happy that I did my research and reached out to her, as I've had great results so far! If you're contemplating using A&M, I say go for it! read more

The team at Adams & Martin Group are the best. My main contact was Raquel Andere Smith, but everyone in the office was friendly and supportive - Kathy Gershwind and Ashley Waite among others. They provided me just what I needed after a painful job loss. They supported me emotionally as well as job-wise. After a few interviews they placed me at what turned out to be an exceptional firm with the best culture and environment. I spent an extended period temping but have now been hired permanently. AMG is part of Roth Staffing which has an amazing philosophy as well. Their stated purpose is "To make life better for the people we serve." read more

Not a very good recruiting agency. I've reached out to four recruiters from here and three completely ignored me. Absolutely no response. The third responded enthusiastically at first, but once I let him know I was coming from Michigan, I was ghosted a fourth time. Completely unprofessional and rude. I'll officially be a resident of San Diego as of May 18, 2018. It's already April and with 4yrs of paralegal exp and over 8yrs administrative exp, I should have received some sort of response. At least the recruiters at Robert Half got me signed up and happily asked me to please let them know when I'm at least two weeks out from moving so they can start scheduling interviews. I've heard noting from your recruiters. Even a "sorry, an out of state candidate won't suffice for now, but please contact us when you're in California or a week or two prior" would have been great. At least attempt to establish a relationship with potential candidates, even if you realistically cannot see them being hired for interviews given the length of time until their relocation. Why completely sever a potential relationship? That's on you. I know not to ever use your recruiting agency and to steer others from it as well. I have several friends from my area also making the trek to San Diego and we're looking for recruiters. I'll steer them to Robert Half instead :::::::::update:::::::::: After posting this review of course I got a phone call from A&M. I've already signed with another recruiting agency and as I said before, am not interested in using your company. The treatment left a bad impression. read more

I was truely surprised by the effort made by this agency. Melissa Frederickson was the recruiter that I had teh most contact with and she was amazing. She was helpful, proactive and always had such a lovable personality. I am extremely grateful to this agency and will most definetly return if I ever need another place of employment. read more

This review is of my time working with Melissa Frederickson. From our first conversation, through my interviews, and to recently accepting a job offer, Melissa has genuinely advocated for me and helped me realize and fine tune my strengths as a paralegal and as a person. Melissa helped me regain a zest for my career path at a time when I had been feeling discouraged and sort of at a dead end. I am incredibly grateful for my time with Melissa and would absolutely recommend her. read more

Melissa Frederickson Esq. and her team displayed absolute professionalism, and leaned very far in to assist me from the moment I arrived! Although I know they have many clients, I felt as if their interest and attention was devoted to me. Ms. Frederickson is warm and makes you feel very comfortable, excellent communicator who has brilliant ideas and spends time getting to know about you and your aspirations, while giving meaningful feedback to help you improve your brand and hire-ability. They have very good connections throughout the community and are very knowledgeable and savvy in their business. read more

Adams & Martin Group is AMAZING! I had the great pleasure of working directly with Melissa Frederickson and Kathy Gershwind. They were my advocate from the very beginning! They were professional in every way and understand the recruiting industry. Most importantly, they truly care. They are passionate about helping candidates and they take time to understand people to make the best fit in placing someone in a role. They are warm, welcoming, and genuine in their efforts to help candidates. I am so thankful that my path crossed with theirs and I would highly recommend them! read more

Adams & Martin Group is literally the best thing that could have happened to me professionally. I had just graduated with my paralegal certificate and went to Adams & Martin to gain experience to make myself competitive for legal jobs. Melissa specifically was a great help to me, she was more concerned with placing me in a role that was a good fit for me than just the first job that came along. I interviewed with her at Adams and Martin Groups Office then she sent me on a few interviews and before every interview she not only gave me in depth information about the position and what they were looking for but coached me through each interview specific to the employer. Melissa cares about placing you in the right position for your personal success and it's a policy that should be followed by every recruiter. If you are reading this right now then you need to stop, call them, and set up an initial interview right now. read more

Melissa helped me to find a great job that was appropriate for my interests and experience. I'd recommend her to any of my colleagues. She seems genuinely and passionately interested in getting people in good jobs that work for both sides. Don't hesitate to call them. Thank you, Melissa! read more

Adams & Martin's purpose, "To make life better for the people we serve" is admirably demonstrated by everyone, from the Benefits Department to the Receptionist and Recruiters. I never felt like I was a burden, even with the simplest questions or requests. The job searching process can be daunting, but I was put at ease with the wonderful help from Samantha, Melissa, and Steven. I look forward to referring job seekers to A & M. read more

If you are in considering a new position or changing your existing position in the legal market, I can strongly recommend Adams & Martin Group. This recruiting company is AMAZING. Their employees are highly professional and know their market, as well as being kind and caring. I was grateful that they took extra time in my initial interview. I had an in-depth conversation about where I fit in the existing job market, the salary range, positive feedback on improving my existing interview responses and techniques, and useful Resume revision suggestions. I tremendously impressed with this company and will be using in the near future. read more

LEGAL PROFESSIONALS - STAY CLEAR OF THIS PLACE. It's a joke times 2. They don't respond, they don't follow-up, they don't do anything but wait for you to call them. They say that they have "jobs" but they only have leads. Don't waste your time. You get better jobs and responses by going on craigslist by yourself. Save yourself the time and trouble of filling out their paperwork and taking tests. They will not place you. read more

I can say with absolute certainty that I would not have had a better job hunting experience if I did not work with the lovely Raquel and Melissa. They were generous with their time, helped prep me for my interviews and were attentive to the kind of employment opportunity I was seeking. I am so very happy with the job I have been placed in and could not have interviewed as confidently as I did without their guidance and support. Raquel and Melissa truly care about their clients and work diligently to place them in a job that best suits their personality and desires. They know their clients and did an excellent job communicating their expectations for prospective job candidates, to me. Their work ethic is nothing short of fantastic! I am grateful for their help every step of the way, from the initial conversation to the interviews, and finally to the job acceptance phase. I could not have asked for a better team! read more
