Ahh... The New York State Department of Labor, what more is there to say?…read more All claims are filed and reported directly to this Albany, NY office. Any questions or issues with individual claims or stoppage of claims are to be addressed to a NYS Department of Labor Investigator. The auto teleprompter is an endless loop after responding to a series of pressing "1" or "2" for nearly five minutes before actually speaking to a human being about your case. The good thing is the call back feature which enables candidates to speak to a claims representative without being on eternal hold. New claim submissions take two weeks pending investigation with a former employer before benefits are released. "Unemployment Rate Edges Up __%" -- the Labor Department announced... sounds familiar?? I'm no stranger to be on this Unemployment Line.

I made an appointment and the owner helped me with the interview process. I was very pleased with how professional and thorough the people here were.. Immediately I was suggested several potential fits that my skills and experience rang a bell in the owner's head. I was going through the process and due to my current circumstance I decided to stay with my current job - but I can say that I was extremely pleased with the entire process and ability to put my resume out there to see some opportunities I never would have known about. I definitely recommend Walrath Recruiting to anyone who is looking for a job. It's not a 1 or 2 day turn around and BAM you're hired.. as long as you understand what this company does (provide a filtered and relevant list of applicants for businesses looking for the right fit) you can understand that this is a fantastic tool in addition to looking for a job in other avenues. My experience was very rewarding and if my current situation changes I most definitely will be dealing with Walrath Recruiting again.

My experience with Nesco Resource has been very good. I submitted my resume to Nesco for a position…read morethey had posted on a job website I use (or that I did use at the time; now that Nesco's set me up, I think and hope I won't be needing a job search website ever again) and Robert contacted me to say my resume looked great for the position. He had me come into the office to meet him and so he could tell me about the position, which turned out to be at a very exciting, fast-growing and industry-leading company in the area. Robert coordinated everything and, long story short, I got the job. I've only been there about three weeks now, but I can say I've had three truly great jobs in my life, and this is one of those three (and in ways, this one's the best of them). I don't know how to express my gratitude to Robert and to Nesco for making this happen. Robert's a busy guy and hasn't always been as readily available or quick to respond as I might like (hence only four stars), but that's a relatively minor thing when viewed in the context of the amazing job he's helped me get. It's just something that might be helpful for other job-seekers to bear in mind. Be patient, and Robert and/or the Nesco team might well find you a job that's truly perfect for you. That's what they've done for me.
