The whole experience was a nightmare. I've worked with MANY staffing agencies, and this is by far the worst! I worked with Angela M., and while she seemed nice at first - things got ugly fast! My initial visit to the office went well. Angela reviewed my resume, and although she didn't have much knowledge of basic marketing, financial, and administrative terminology, she promised that she would look for a professional position for me. It wasn't long before she pushed me into doing temporary administrative work. This was all fine because I was receiving a paycheck and continuing to look for professional work on my own. I have no problem working hard for my money, and I was doing just that - completing temp assignments with great feedback from clients. However, it was unfortunate that I ran into a very difficult boss who decided to call Angela M. and complain about me. Angela immediately called me, scolded me, and refused to listen to my side of the story. The whole time this "professional" recruiter was using poor grammar. This firm is very unprofessional. They broke numerous employment laws when dealing with me. They gossiped about me with other staffing agencies, they lied to me, they belittled my clothing and appearance, hassled me when I tried to get my last paycheck - the list goes on and on... Sound like a bad experience? Yes it was! I get calls from staffing agencies at my office soliciting their services all the time. They are very pushy and they won't let up. I've tried to explain that we don't work with recruiters because I've been lied to by many as both the candidate, and the client. They continue to call and try to convince me that their firm is "different." I even received a call from Burnett Staffing... My company hires candidates directly, we bypass the staffing agency, save time, and in the end everybody is much happier! I do not recommend going to Burnett Staffing or anywhere else. Staffing agencies are infamous for lying to people, giving out useless career advice, and using their power over job seekers in a negative and hurtful manner. No matter what they say, recruiters do not care about the candidate or the client. They want to place bodies into positions so they can get paid their commission checks. UPDATE: I signed up for Yelp, so I could share the huge mistake of signing up with Burnett Staffing with other job seekers. It's definately up to the individual to decide whether or not s/he wants to utilize their service. For some reason my review has been filtered twice even though it is a very honest picture of what happened. Ahem...an average rating of two out of five stars from other Yelpers.... Yes - my review is accurate thank you very much! : ) : ) : ) I would recommend documenting everything that Burnett says and does if you find yourself working with this company. As stated above, numerous employment laws were broken when they were dealing with me. Employment laws are in place to protect the rights of the people. The fact that Burnett overstepped the boundaries of the law with me, set my back career-wise, and was quite a drain. Remember guys - document, document, document!!! : ) read more

I've been working with Burnett Staffing on-and-off since 2008, and I can't say enough great things about the women who work at this office. I began working with Maggie Dunn when I first moved to Austin and she placed me on a great temporary assignment almost immediately! In 2010, I re-activated my account with Burnett. Since then, I have had the pleasure to work not only with Maggie but with Angela Carroll, Wendy Henderson, and Donna Baker, who have all helped in finding me gainful temporary employment. They are professional, tenacious, and friendly when it comes to helping me. Seeing how they work together as a cohesive group makes me feel as if my needs are being met not only by my original recruiter, Maggie, but by Burnett as a whole. Recently, I had the opportunity to work in-office with the staff at Burnett on a four month project. I was able to see just how hard the recruiters and staff worked daily to ensure the best quality for their candidates. It was great to see how genuinely excited and happy they were after helping someone. Elizabeth Kahanek and Lindsey Montgomery were amazing in showing me the ropes of the office while working there, offering any assistance I needed even though it should be the other way around. I even had the pleasure to met the president of the company, Sue Burnett, and saw firsthand how dedicated she is to helping others. It is evident that this attitude has more than trickled down into the entire Burnett staff. read more

Burnett Specialists is amazing! Friendly, professional and great at what they do. I recommend them to everyone! Whether your looking for something temp or your next long term career, Burnett Specialists is the place to call. Kodi was such a pleasure to work with. She found me the best job I've ever had at an amazing company, and so quickly too. This was my first time ever going through a staffing agency and I won't lie, I was a little skeptical as I didn't know what kind of job I would be placed in. But I was proven so wrong. My new job is everything I was looking for in a career and more than I could've ever dreamed of. They really help take the stress out of searching for a job, sending your resume out to a million companies and keeping your fingers crossed that it doesn't get lost in the sea of other people's resumes. I cannot express how great they are and how happy I am that I made the choice to call Burnett Specialists! Thank you Kodi for being so great at your job! read more

Wow, I'm surprised by some of the reviews. As my experience is very different. Working with Burnett Specialists has been successful, pleasant, and professional. Nobody wants to find themselves back on the job market, it's beyond stressful. They certainty helped in alleviating that stress. I met with Maggie Dunn, who went right to work in setting up interviews, with great companies. One of which, I've already received an offer. I'm also on a temp assignment with a great company, that will carry me right up to my start date. Maggie has been wonderful and responds to my MANY emails promptly. I also work with Alex Sirles, in relation to my temp assignment and getting paid. Both have been wonderful to work with. Thank You Burnett Specialists. I would recommend them to anybody, I already have! Alexandra Hutchenson read more

I don't normally write reviews for places but I wanted to take a quick second to write about how great my experience was with Burnett Staffing. I had just moved here to Austin and was looking for a career that matched my skill sets and experience but was unable to find any company that would even call me after submitting my resume. I then decided to turn to staffing agencies for help finding a job. I had heard about Burnett from a friend and decided to submit my resume. I then met with the recruiters at their office and was sent for interviews at different companies that week. I had a great experience and the recruiter would always follow-up with me on new jobs. Within weeks I was hired through Burnett at an amazing tech company. If you are in the job market I would definitely recommend going there!! read more

The person that is referred to in the review that Jeremy writes is not with Burnett Staffing anymore and hasn't been since February. She was in charge of the technical division but our technical placements are now handled by Maggie Dunn and Angela Carroll, both in the top five award winning recruiters by the Texas Association of Personnel Consultants. Please do not judge Burnett by Jeremy's comment as he was upset that he was not given unemployment at first, but he ended up getting unemployment. Judging Burnett from a couple of unhappy people is unfair when thousands have been helped in our 27 years in Austin. We have a very long tenured staff in Austin and they are some of the best staffing and placement people in the state! read more

I will start off with name dropping Lindsey with Burnett Staffing is AMAZING. I feel as though some of the other peoples replies are based off of frustration from searching for a job. I have a great resume and a Masters degree sent resumes out for 4 months with nothing. I emailed Lindsey at 11am and by 1pm I had a interview set up with her with a follow up with a company and was hired. What some people don't understand is your personality and experience is what gets you hired. Don't be so negative and you will get hired. In addition to me finding a job I referred one of my friends who was also placed with a company courtesy of Burnett Staffing and too has had a great experience. Burnett is one of the better staffing agencies. read more

Wendy Henderson at Burnett Staffing is WAY beyond awesome!!!!! I was recently enrolled with Burnett Staffing, and upon me submitting my resume I received a response from Wendy within minutes (seriously) letting me know about the job positions that were available. I had my interview with Wendy the following day and have accepted a very promising temp to hire position. I feel truly blessed because she was able to look past my PAST faults and went over and beyond to get me this position that she knew was a perfect fit for me. I would and have recommended Burnett Staffing and Wendy H to friends as well as family members. I have nothing but good and positive things to say about Wendy H and the whole team at Burnett Staffing. read more

I had a very pleasant experience with Burnett Staffing in Austin! I moved to Austin on a whim without a job or any idea of what I was going to do. A friend referred Burnett to me to help with my job search. I submitted my resume, and got set up with an interview with one of their staffing agents right away. I was hired by a local company within weeks of our consultation! All the ladies in the office, from the young woman at the front desk to my staffing agent, were very nice! They were all extremely willing to give me feedback and answer any questions I had over the process. Burnett gave me the opprotunity to comfortably transition to Austin without worrying I wouldn't be employed. Thank you :) read more

My experience with Burnett Specialists, particularly with my recruiter Kodi Keese, has been nothing short of amazing! What I appreciated most was Kodi's willingness to be patient in determining what roles aligned my skills and strengths as opposed to placing me with a role that just needed to be filled. As a result, I was placed with a company that I absolutely loved going to work for day in and day out! This company acknowledged hard work and had an especially friendly staff that ended up taking me out to lunch on my final day! I would most certainly recommend Kodi Keese with Burnett Specialists for anyone who is looking for a trustworthy recruiter in the Austin area! read more

Ask for Angela! My Wife referred me to Angela, because she had helped her with her job search in the past so I sent my resume and met with Angela. She was very professional, friendly. She forward my resume to a company that she was working with to fill other positions. The company wasn't looking for upper management at the time but she knew they were in the future and thought I would be a good fit for them. They really liked me and hired me directly.A year and half later, I made a great career decision. read more

Wow! Burnett Staffing exceeded my expectations! I have been unemployed for 3 months and needed to find a source of income pronto. The office manager, Maggie was the person that worked my file and landed me a job I just might retire from! I am super excited about this new chapter in my life and I owe it to this staffing agency! Thank you Burnett Staffing and Maggie for making my experience one to boast and brag about! You guys rock!! read more

I was so thankful for Burnett for helping me throughout the incredibly stressful process of finding a job. Angela was incredible. From the initial interview, I felt as though she understood my interests and strengths. She kept in touch and was actively pursuing opportunities for me. The whole job search process was easier because of the work done on my behalf. Thank you Angela and Burnett for being such a great resource. read more

I moved from Houston to Austin 5 years ago and tried almost 10 agencies with no luck. Luckily I found Burnett Staffing and almost immediately they placed in a position. I love my job and if it were not for Donna Baker's kind, professional help I wouldn't have found it. The people in office are always professional and helpful. I would recommend Burnett Staffing to anyone ! Thanks Donna and Wendy ! read more

A blessing for me. I signed up with Burnett Staffing and was called in for a first round interview and later that same day called for a second interview and started working the following Monday. I presented myself in a professional manner and a positive, courteous attitude. The staff was friendly, professional and even caring. My experience was good and I would recommend this agency. read more

I was searching for a job for almost a month until I heard about Burnett Specialists. Maggie was very competent and driven when finding me a job and I devote everything to her persistence. Thankfully because of her hard work, I was able to land a job after only a week of work with Burnett. I can't thank all of you enough for your help in finding me a great entry level job, thank you! read more

I moved to the Austin area from Alabama. Before I had moved I spoke with a recruiter (Maggie) at Burnett Specialists. I met with her as soon as I got into town and she placed me in a job within days! Their response time is so quick! I highly recommend Burnett to anyone needing direction in career opportunities. They're the best, and truly made my relocation to Texas stress free! read more

I recently moved to the area and have been working closely with Kodi and Maggie at Burnett Specialists, they have been AMAZING!
