This is an amazing temp agency. I have done some work through there a couple times. It was a year…read moreor so ago. I loved Mr. Bill! He is the human resources manager and just and amazing guy! Emily, the recruiter is always spot on. She is funny and professional and gets you in and out quick. There was this older woman in there though who I guess was the boss? But she didn't act like it. She came out and yelled at them while myself and other people were sitting in there! How extremely unprofessional! I felt bad for them and then she looked at us like we were nothing because we wanted a temp job. All in all I loved my experience with this company!

After working with several staffing companies while looking for a position, I have to say I wasn't…read morethat impressed with Astyra. A recruiter contacted me about a position, hounded me until I sent my information, then provided very poor contact. After not hearing from her for a week, I checked in with the recruiter to be told she was still waiting. Then I checked in a week later and she still had no updates. Then, I never heard from her again. Was another candidate chosen? Was the position froze? I have no clue. After working with other staffing agencies (those where I got and did not get positions), I realized this isn't the way it should go. Other recruiters maintain good contact, help you fix your resume, provide career advice and try to find multiple positions that are a fit for you. Maybe I hit Astyra at the wrong time, but it wasn't my best experience.

I truly feel that its only a matter of time before I will be placed into a fitting position. I would recommend Astyra to any professional looking for a great employment agency to work with.

They will set you up for an interview, you go spend over an hour of your time there, ace the…read moreinterview, then finish with a firm hand shake. Then your "friendly" recruiter tells you they have feedback and claims that they said you were sitting there swearing like a sailor. Gee, would most people give someone like that a plant tour and have an interview with them for over an hour if they were a piece of human garbage? Then if you dare speak in your defense, you will be attacked and yelled at. Oh, but remember you are the unprofessional one right? It is one thing to pass up a candidate for someone else with better credentials, but another thing to smear someone's character. So if you like a nice dose of libel topped with slander, by all means apply with this place.

I have worked with Accountemps off and on for over 10 years and have a good working relationship…read morewith the staff. My assignments have led to full time employment. In working with the staff and letting them know what I am looking for in an employer and validating my skills through their testing has landed me in some great environments. The staff work hard in getting you the assignments that best fit your skill set. They have placed me in an array of businesses from manufacturing to engineering to finance. The staff are always a phone call away and want to hear from you whether you love it or hate it. They want happy employees and happy clients. They do their best to marry the needs and wants of both parties. The best part of working on temporary assignments has led me to work for many companies and experience different work cultures. Its a great way to preview and "test" out the company while they test you out. If it doesn't work out, it won't hurt your resume as your an employee of Accountemps and has exposed you to companies that you may have been curious about.

This first-time experience with Exclusive Staffing in Virginia was not good ---pretty bad!…read moreThey're demanding in getting a ton of paperwork faxed to them at NO toll free fax number. Spent almost $20 to fax everything they demanded or else I wouldn't get the job, they told me. Later found out that the agency (Exclusive Staffing) didn't even send in all my paperwork on time to the client so it delayed the client a whole week to set me up and they were not happy with Exclusive Staffing. Once in the job, they were not helpful and only available in the morning (East Coast time) to answer questions; they do not return calls right away and forget about emails....unanswered as well. I don't know how they stay in business! They are unprofessional and old school. The only good thing is they have direct deposit, but takes a long time to receive paycheck stubs by mail only. Forget it if there's an error on the paycheck....they don't care and won't talk to you. Compared with other employment agencies, Exclusive Staffing in Virginia doesn't come close to being as good and professional. Stay with agencies in California. It may be a better choice.

Insight Global is a big recruiting company with, currently, 2 locations in Virginia and a total of…read more48 in the USA. I was contacted by James Evans who sent me a message saying he left a voice message. I checked and that was not true. What was true was that he sent no information about the job at all so I had to ask for it. When he replied, the job description was not complete. I could tell it was partially copied and something was clearly missing. I replied telling him about it but ever since then I did not receive a reply. This is another instance of recruiters being unprofessional and wasting my valuable time, something I already know from another Insight Global branch (same attitude with no information, no job descriptions and this lovely habit to drop the ball suddenly). Don't waste time with these clowns.
