Terrible communication. Never once reached out for other opportunities and the the employer they set me with at the City of El Cerrito was unprofessional. Never gave them a notice of when they were going to use my services. They just called them the next day and said they didn't need me and I believe that was unprofessional. This agency is terrible at communication and lack the ability to help others find work nor keep them updated. Please find another staffing agency with better rapport. read more

Bolt is extremely unprofessional, my husband has been signed up with Bolt since December 2023. Bolt has yet, to reach out with any job opportunities after seeing my husband was Africa American also, he has dreads. However, My husband is highly qualified along, with 10 years of warehouse experience. This is very disgusting in this age, it's been very disappointing and frustrating. read more

Incompetent and unprofessional Was scheduled for an introductory call with an employement coordinator. Representative did not call.

There's a quote that goes 'I've learned that people will forget what you said, but people will never forget how you made them feel' I will not forget how Camila made me feel as I continued to reach out and let her know when I was interested in a position on their website. Positions that are still posted at this very moment. Considering how few jobs they had on their site, you'd think Camila was slammed with work in her lackadaisical responses to my inquiries, often requesting more details I'd already mentioned in my inquiry. I kept feeling cast aside, but kept reaching out to her, only to be reminded that I could try elsewhere to find a job. Yes, I realize that Camila, but I was seeking a temporary position and aren't you a temp agency? If I didn't have the experience needed, that's fine, but when someone who could be making you money while they make money is reaching out for assistance, it concerns me why you would refuse to help. I see Camila has great reviews and is mentioned as a great asset in their time of need and I wonder what it was about them vs myself that made them worthy of help and me worthy of the brush off? :/ read more

I've been holding off on this. Wrongful termination. Poor management. Fired on the second day of work after calling in sick for being extremely sick. read more

After a few years enjoying retirement from administrative employment, I decided to return to work and reached out to BOLT Staffing Service in American Canyon. This proved to be among the best decisions I'd made in a while! I have been extremely pleased with this organization. Ms. Camilla Matthews has consistently delivered quality job assignments for me, and Mr. Dane Turner,, of BOLT has continued providing excellent assistance to me as well. Actually, I've only experienced kind, professional and courteous interactions from all staff members at BOLT-American Canyon. I more than highly recommend the American Canyon location of BOLT Staffing Service! I am certain you will also be pleased with it! Jacqueline M. read more

By far the best temp agencies . I was in desperate need of a job and Camilla placed me with a great company with great pay‼ Definitely will be referring people ! read more

I made an appointment for a typing test (now $25) at 1:00 pm the same morning. The receptionist was friendly and accommodating. I was in and out in less than 30 minutes! read more

My attorney has advise me to only say to exercise extreme caution with working with this service. Be prepared to be discriminated against. They will know that I am fully prepared to exercise my rights against age discrimination. Among other employment law issues. Read between the lines. read more

I applied to Bolt's website after hearing about it from a colleague and immediately got greeted with a phone call within 2 days asking to schedule an office interview so that they could help find me a job. I went and immediately got oriented about all of their services in great detail. Within less than a week of the orientation, I got a call regarding a potential position and decided to apply, which Bolt took care of. After the applying process and a couple of interviews, I ended up starting the best job I've ever had within only a week and a half of first signing up with Bolt. Is it a great service? Absolutely! They go through so much trouble to help you find a position and honestly I would recommend it to anyone that is looking for a job. read more

I made an appointment for 1:30PM for a typing test ($15), and I arrived a little bit early. The guy at the front (Trevor) was very friendly and welcoming. He had me ready to take my test a few minutes after my arrival and I was out of there by 1:35. As soon as you are done with the typing test, they quickly provide you with the certificate of your tests results. Great, friendly service with a professional atmosphere. I would definitely recommend to a friend! read more

The whole staff is very friendly. They asked really good questions, and made sure to find me jobs that met my qualifications. I found their website very user-friendly, and read the Yelp reviews to make sure they were recommended... glad I did! The owner, Joanne, is extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Will definitely use Bolt again if needed. read more

Besides (1) having an appointment set for 7:00 a.m.--first thing on a Friday morning before I head to work--and the first Bolt Staffing employee not showing up to open its doors until 7:13 a.m., (2) during my typing test, their computers having technical difficulties causing me to wait again while the employee tells me "I'll be right with you," and (3) after finally getting through with the testing process and my asking for a receipt of my payment, I end up having to wait another 2-3 minutes while the same employee takes care of other things around the office and stops by her coworkers desk to "chat" before walking over to where I'm standing and handing me a flimsy, hand-written receipt, I'd say that I, at the very least, was able to get on short-notice what I needed to have done....a certificate for a simple, 5-minute typing test. By the time I got out of there, it was 8 O'CLOCK!!!!!!!! I mean seriously, DON'T TELL ME THAT I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT AT 7AM AND THEN SHOW UP 13 MINUTES LATE! Two stars here only for the fact that they offer the typing test. ZERO STARS for the service I was given! Truly unacceptable. By the way, the late employee never even bothered to acknowledge or apologize for the fact that she was late. I said to her, "I wasn't sure if my appointment was at 7 or 8 this morning, because no one was here".....to which she replied, "Oh yeah, I just got here." How is that even remotely acceptable?!? So very unprofessional, which is completely ironic since they are an employment agency! read more

Noela was so helpful got my a job offer in the first couple days and got me ready for my interview and put me up to date with the company I was applying for thanks. read more

5 stars for Bolt Staffing in American Canyon. I lost my job 8 months ago and haven't been able to find a job to save my life. I applied at Bolt and they've been able to consistently find me work. Not only did they keep me working, but they actually helped me land my dream job which I start tomorrow. Anthony, Camila, Trevor...I can't thank you enough. I suggest anyone looking for work visit the AC Bolt location!! read more

The office is clean, modern and in a nice location. I counted on Bolt to help me get my foot back in the door when I did not have a job. They made it seem like they would be on their toes when it came to that. My interview was with, Andrew. The interview process took almost an hour. Towards the end he lost eye contact and started looking out the window (he had another appointment i'm assuming). But as far as finding a temporary job for me, he did not do at all. I can say only one time I got a phone call and was asked to do an assessment. So I rushed and did it. As soon as I was done, Andrew told me that the position was taken. I never heard from him after that. Although, I did apply with several positions that were available, the recruiter was Camila, I never received a phone call to follow up. Not even to say if the position was taken or not. Being that this Staffing Service is family owned, I would think they would really take care of potential employees when it came down to finding a job for the "job seeker" but they did not do that at all. It's been 6 months and still no word from them. Normally I don't write reviews on yelp, but this has been on my mind for months. Overall, in the future i'll more than likely go through another staffing agency. read more

Super easy for my 5 minute typing test. Called in the morning and made an appointment for the afternoon. Took me right in and got it done. Will be back if I need anything else. read more

Bolt is the place to go if you are looking for a job or in my case, a career change. The staff is an amazing cohesive team with the full intent to find the best fit for candidates and clients. Camila was my recruiter and has used her wonderful talent to place me in my new permanent home. Bolt takes care of their people. Employees have the support and tools needed to perform the job, and from my experience, employers appreciate the marvelous "match-making" reputation that is synonymous with the name. More recognition should be given to the speed and reliance of the staff. I appreciate the thought and energy spent in placement and delivery. read more
