We appreciated how he walked through our return w us and is available to answer any questions we had. We highly recommend him.

I got a vague email about working in the game industry from careerbuilder I think? Normally I would…read morehave ignored it, because it seemed kind of, I don't know, spammy?

Every time I dealt with a Kelly Services Rep, they were super friendly, very professional, and an all around pleasure to work with.

I'm looking for a bookkeeper and am having much better results on Craig's List. The staff is courteous enough but there is follow through with much prodding and then after all these months, I've yet to have one candidate sent to me for an interview. They said it's because candidates are looking for part-time hours or regular 9-5pm hours, and I can understand that, but why can't they return a call when they say they will? Needless to say, after many months of trying to go through them, I will stick with Craig's List. If they could say definitely that they cannot, then I would understand, but to never have my calls returned is rather disappointing.
