Working with Saaya and Veronica at Pocketbook Agency was an outstanding experience from start to…read morefinish. I was guided and supported through what was a long and at times challenging interview process. They both took the time to truly listen, coach me, and keep my confidence up through every stage of the process. Offering me thoughtful guidance and always delivered with warmth and professionalism. Together, Saaya and Veronica make an incredibly powerful team. They complement each other perfectly -- bringing professionalism, genuine respect, and a human touch that is rare to find in recruitment. If you are looking for recruiters who will truly advocate for you, take the time to understand your goals, and stand by you through the highs and lows of a job search, look no further than Saaya and V at Pocketbook Agency. They have earned a client for life and a good friend!

Pro-tip: if you must use Pocketbook(which I recommend you don't ) , apply directly only on their…read moresite. They post their job ads on a variety of sites, but it is uncertain whether they view your application from them. I don't think they viewed mine at all a single time from their alternative posting .If you apply on their site, you will get an update on your application at least -- even though it seemingly is highly automated . Bottom -line: I wouldn't recommend this agency for any sorta job placement . Prepare to curb your expectations because -- by and large --they have been totally useless over the past 3 years in helping me in any meaningful way. 1) I have ten years of personal assistant experience over the past 10 years . My former clients were an : actor and comedian , poker player, and a famous rock guitarist. Having this experience under my belt, I have received a total of one interview about 3.5 years ago with the help of a staff member who is no longer with the agency. 2) I keep on getting canned responses from the newer staff with reassurances that I must not give up and keep applying as 'it's highly competitive '. However, insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, expecting different results. And I have had zero results thus far. Now I must preface following solely , as ITS MY OPINION: 1) I believe they favor candidates in certain positions irrespective of their qualifications or merit based on non-qualifying factors or immutable characteristics thst have nothing to do with the job. 2) at the very least, i believe they're heavily biased against certain demographics that are unethical and inconsistent with the policies a job placement agency should hold in high-esteem. And at worst, theyre engaging in practices that are unlawful. 3) it is also possible they shadow-ban applicants , but don't tell them, and to these applicants own detriment , they apply to a virtual dead-end thinking the door is open, when its not. I'm kind of hurt , saddened and disappointed Ive made zero progress thus far, and not a single staff member was willing to bat for me or push my application through in earnest throughout all these years .

Cannot give higher praise to my experience with Friedman.

In an industry built on connections/referrals, they are able to open the door for you!

Thanks again Friedman!!

I've worked with the Friedman Agency during several different hiatuses. Jules would always look out…read morefor me for long-term or direct-to-hire opportunities and call to see if I wanted to be put up for them. I got a great job that went for many years from the agency. I returned to them recently during the industry contraction, and received some assignments despite the slowdown. Even while economic tensions run high, Matt Russell was my day-to-day and could not have been lovelier. It's clear he works long hours and never once was not absolutely lovely. It's a pleasure to have such a positive relationship for when interim temp work is needed and to make positive relationships working all over town.

Years ago, I applied to work with this temp-to-perm agency. I thought it was a very cool idea to…read morehave a temp agency that focused on jobs in the creative fields. I can't exactly remember what the job was, but there was some interest in one job I wanted and I physically interviewed at their Chicago office. (I'm not sure the downtown location is there anymore.) Shortly after, I ended up getting a full-time editing job with another company that I applied to on my own, so I never got to find out what the company was like. Fast forward several years (maybe a decade?) later. A couple of clients came and went in my full-time freelancing career. I'd randomly applied for jobs with this organization but never held my breath because I always seemed to be getting rejection notifications. (I don't take those personally. I realize there are hundreds of other people all applying for the same jobs.) But I'd been completing freelance work for about eight years and just had no desire to sit in an office again. I have had a handful of remote clients since the pandemic and LOVE(D) working with them. I decided to sign up for Creative Circle again after I stopped for years because of the rejection notifications. I found it was much easier waiting for invites than to apply on my own because the recruiters (obviously) knew what their clients were looking for. I accepted one job invite (along with a few more), and BOY, DID THAT MAKE ME LOVE CREATIVE CIRCLE! The recruiter (Liz) who I briefly talked to was nice. The HR and Payroll team are pleasant. Cesar (who I completed the interview with) and Paula Jean (Engagement Specialist) have been amazing to work with. And best of all, I really like the job and the duo from that company that I work for via CC. I don't know if I would've had this great of an experience a decade ago. All I know is it came "right on time" this year, and maybe THIS TIME was the right time. Even if the project is just for this year, I can easily recommend and compliment Creative Circle for how they treat their contractors. I have zero complaints with CC or the external client. I'd recommend them to anybody.

I met Michelle at a time when I was at a low point in my nanny career and personal life. I had…read morebeen looking for top nanny position and had been on many interviews through other agencies. It seemed like I had landed a few dream jobs only for it to slip away from me. Really trying times. Then I met Michelle! This brings a smile to my face. Meeting with her felt like chatting with a friend. I realized after that this is her skill. She loves people and wants to represent both the families and the nannies. It was a slow period and she didn't have any job opportunities at the time when I signed up with her agency, the perfect placement. After being on the hunt for my top nanny job with a kind family for many months and it wasn't happening I was getting ready to move out of state. I mentioned to Michelle that I'm no longer looking for a position as it doesn't seem like it's going to happen. Michelle didn't give up on me. She called me with 2 opportunities. I went on both interviews and was called back to do a trial for the one that I wanted !! Yay !! Then Michelle negotiated some time off that I needed to take care of a health issue. The family was so wonderful they waited for me ! All I can say everything lined up perfectly. Michelle will always return your call in a timely manner and she always checks in to see how you're doing. I thank God I met Michelle !

I looked at YELP and found Perfect Placement. I crossed my fingers and called. Michelle was professional, energetic, and so positive! She was confident that she could find someone to meet our unique needs and I was happily surprised. Within days, she had multiple candidates for me to interview and we found the most incredible woman, who has truly been the perfect fit for our family. We could not be happier. Michelle also assisted me in setting up payment services etc for our employee and it was all so seamless and easy. Throughout the process, Michelle was knowledgeable, reassuring and responsive. Thank you Michelle for everything! I cannot recommend her enough!
