They presented me with several opportunities that were of interest, which saved me quite a bit of time on the job hunt. I selected a couple to interview with and then received offers from each of them. My recruiter negotiated very hard for me and got even higher a salary than I was anticipating. I would definitely recommend other professionals use these guys - they don't waste your time with useless jobs you have no interest in and also look out for you on what matters most after spending years in Big 4, work/life and money.

I called and spoke with the female manager who would not give me her name over the phone. She was…read moreextremely rude and very unprofessional. She was getting loud with me over the phone because I called back to back 3 times because it seemed to me that my phone call was being disconnected. Soon as she answered, she knew it was me which was very odd. She just became very irate for no reason at all. I just wanted information on my status of employment with them when I worked for the over 10 years ago.

The team at PoliTemps was excellent at every step along the way, and extremely supportive. I always felt that they were advocating for me as an individual, and wanted to help me find the right fit. I was brought on full-time by the organization they placed me with after three months. I've recommended them to friends who are looking for jobs in the political field and will continue to do so.

I've been in the television industry for decades and have worked for many major networks and…read moreorganizations. My experience with Team People TV is by far the most positive and rewarding experience of my career. Team People TV is a media staffing company for many prominent venues with Mike, Shayne, Kimberly, Rachel and Melinda being the core of company. They are not only efficient but go out of their way to accommodate their technicians. It's an absolute pleasure to work with professionals who are knowledgeable and equally as courteous and so,I highly recommend Team People TV.

I admit that I have made use of the Employment services office near the Minnesota Avenue metro for…read moremy job searching goals. Fortunately, for the workshops I attended through Employment services, both the employees connected to the workshops and the employees I had to ask on where to go were polite when I had questions and/or concerns pertaining to the locations of what I was looking for. I also learned about an abundance of more private sector and government job opportunities within the Washington D.C. area that would have taken me much longer to figure out on my own. Last, but not least, the American Job Center Northeast ( inside one of the buildings of the District of Columbia Community College near the Fort Totten metro) offers employment assistance and services. Additionally, I have fortunately been assigned a military veteran rep to assist me with my professional goals, which helps me feel more encouraged in my job search endeavors.

Temporaries Now provides amazing services to both staff and organizations needing them. I began…read moreworking with Temporaries Now back in 1999 when I was finishing up my college degree and seeking opportunities to expand my professional horizons. The interview process with Temporaries Now was, and still is, rigorous. Personality evaluation, and skills testing ensures a comprehensive picture of each candidate and gives the candidate an opportunity to get feedback and an assessment of their interview skills. Once on-board as a "temp" there are a myriad of benefits offered to staff not often found at other firms. These benefits include, but are not limited to, computerized training, insurance options, paid leave, and many opportunities for recognition. The owner, Dale, cares about his staff, and it shows, he is constantly seeking out ways to provide incentives and recognition to his employees. I was ultimately offered a challenging assignment via Temporaries Now with a major IT firm in the local area. This assignment lead to a professional job offer and a career that has now lasted for over 15 years! So, whether you are an organization seeking temporary or permanent staffing or a candidate seeking work opportunities, I would highly recommend checking out Temporaries Now. The quality of this organization and staff are second to none.

The reason this place has so few reviews is they aren't actually interested in getting clients. I…read morefirst spoke to someone on the phone, expecting to make an appointment to discuss my objectives and job search. Instead, I was told to email my resume and career goals, to see if they would be able to help me find work. I figured that made sense because they might only have contacts in specific sectors or deal with certain levels of experience. The man assured me that they could probably still give me career advice, even if they couldn't get me a job. So I sent in my resume along with goals and details about my experience. A few days later I was caught off guard by an automated email telling me that "[my] resume was not selected to be moved forward for this particular position." The email stated that, even though I didn't get the "position," my resume would be stored if another opportunity arose. Pretty confusing since I was seeking career help, not a particular position, and I had followed the employee's instructions for the email to a T. The message was signed "The Staff of Gaskins Search Group." There was nothing about career advice or even the mention of a recruiter. I was really surprised by the lack of professionalism, especially after the person I spoke to made it seem like they were willing to help. My advice is not to waste your time with Temporaries Now. Find a temp agency that actually cares about placing people in jobs.

I was working with a few of their associates for multiple opportunities and have high regard for each one for them. They have been always accessible for any and all questions I had during the process. Dustin was always on top of things and got me answers right away.

They even checked on me on my first day, just to make sure I was settling in okay. I would most certainly work with them in the future :)

On the fence about working/Applying with this Agency?…read more I read the yelp reviews, they are great! However, all of the Leadership at WB looks to me to be about 20 years old or less? I have interviewed in the past with very young Recruiters, have a bad feeling about them...giggly, unprofessional, silly, un-professional, and have no idea about what it is like to be a consummate professional in the USA, anymore. The most recent Recruiter I spoke with in Ashburn, VA. was a constant giggler! Sooooooo... Annoying. She was NOT working at Woodbridge, per se. but that is the type of Recruiter that I have been running into, all throughout the Virginia area. I am hoping for a much better experience with Woodbridge? I will write another Woodbridge review, once I speak with some there.

I went to Lauren for career coaching two years ago (end of 2016) when I was in the wrong job. And,…read moreafter working with Lauren versus working through finding my own career path on my own (for free!), I am writing this review to let others know that your money is better spent on things to help you over the hump! I paid for four months in advance for her coaching at a rate of 595$ per month. Because I was extremely depressed in my job at the time, I missed out on going to two months of coaching sessions. This is to be up front and direct that my review is based on going to only two months of sessions with Lauren. I did not "schedule and cancel" any appointments - but rather did not schedule the sessions at all. I understood that she would still take the payment, but for her to accept $1,200 in fees when her client was depressed and underwater felt a bit unethical in my point of view - and I just want to share it for others who might be interested in seeking real help for their struggles - that these are the terms and conditions you sign up for. The actual coaching sessions were quasi-helpful, but I really did not receive support or any actionable steps to analyzing my own situation. The parting advice I got from Lauren was "Think and sit for a while with what you are good at and what you like to do, and go from there." She also went through my values - having me highlight things from both of these columns. I've gained so much more from people like Tim Ferriss or Tony Robbins or Gretchen Rubin -- and those services are things that are offered for free. Tim Ferriss, in particular, offers an 80-20 analysis that is most useful for anyone who is struggling. I am now in a dream job overseas and am working hard to do right by it, but the experience with Lauren stuck with me. I really wanted to share this with others so they can make a more informed decision when they are struggling in choosing the right career for them.

After talking with Lauren, I am a believer in coaching. I always thought it was for people who…read moredidn't know what they wanted to do with their lives and it turns out I think Lauren could help everyone in some way. Lauren has an easy manner that does not make me feel like I'm asking for help, I think that is a very valuable part of her process. I was a bit of a skeptic, which is funny because I have spent money and time on Palm Readers, Astrologers, High End Astrologers (you heard me -- $$$), Tea Leave Readers, Tarot Card Readers, Past LIfe Readers, and a damn straight Crystal Ball Psychic. While I love a little pageantry, it turns out none of these experiences offered any insight in to my fate. So buckle your seat belt Dorothy, it turns out I had it in me all along. Lauren was my Wizard of Oz, Oprah-light-bulb-moment-giver by talking me through a sticky situation that I could have let overtake me. She left me with a new perspective, and a plan. I feel confident about how to proceed and I have clear steps on how to move forward. I'm ready to bury the runes and ouija board and stop reading the star charts, I think coaching is illuminating and is what I needed to chart my own star.
