I handle the team building for a small business and they make my job so much easier by identifying qualified candidates for us to interview. We have made some great hires because of their help. One thing we do to help CityStaff understand our needs and the type of candidates we are looking for is draft a very detailed job description that includes the culture and benefits, in addition to what the "realistic" job experience would be like for candidates. I also keep in touch on a consistent basis with CityStaff to give my thoughts, questions and feedback pre and post-interviews, and that has helped me and them understand how to best fill our open positions. Eroica and Jen are very responsive and professional, and each of our temps that have come through CityStaff have said they had positive experiences working with CityStaff. Keep up the good work.

They have great work opportunities, to include government and hospitality positions. My only problem is falling ill this year, in 2022. Although I had sick leave for nearly a week, I'm left with not knowing how to still bring in any income, until my quarantine period ends. The good thing about this is Micheal, Jeffery, and Byron do a good job informing and providing updates when company policies and resources change. Other great things about MB Staffing, when you work for the agency you become eligible for health benefits, 401k, sick leave, referral bonus, and more! If your looking to work with a professional black owned business this is a good one here!

Green Key LLC Staffing Professionals on Research Boulevard is a wonderful company. I have worked…read morewith several temp agencies and I was always made to feel like a number and just a paycheck to those who were placing me. I chose to stay with Green Key because of one of their employees names Erika Silvey. SHE IS THE BEST. She cares about you, talks to you like a friend and finds jobs that she believes will be a fit for you both skill and personality-wise. She has found me one job that went permanent do to an excellent placement. Due to unfortunate circumstances, I had to leave that job so I turned to Erika again for help. Now, I am at another job which I love and fit in real well. If you choose to go to Green Key, I highly recommend Erika Silvey. Her work number is 301-584-3194. PS...I NEVER write reviews...but I just had to spread the word about Green Key and Erika Silvey. Kimberly

Cross-posting my review because my recruiter deserves more than one 5-Star review:…read moreI came to Green Key Resources with 2 years prior experience as a temp. I had contacted 7 local temp agencies, 4 didn't reply at all, 1 called me in for an interview then never contacted me again, and one set up a phone interview and then stopped communicating altogether. My Green Key recruiter, Erika Silvey, called me in for an interview right away. The interview was quite long and very thorough and by the end I felt like she had gotten to know me and what I bring to the table as far as my skills/experience/personality. Right away she got me a temp job at a management consulting firm that I was able to walk to. Her communication was excellent, from the first day to the last I felt like I could contact her with any questions or concerns I might have. I found the Green Key app very easy to use, and I preferred entering/submitting the hours I had worked on my phone, rather than filling in a piece of paper, getting a manager to sign it, faxing it to the agency, etc. After that first job ended, she said "I know you're looking for something full-time, but for now would you be interested in another temporary position until we find something permanent?". I really appreciated the acknowledgement that I was not interested in being a temp for 2 years (again). She also provided me with very constructive feedback on my resume and what she expected as far as updating it as I ended one assignment and began another. Fast forward ~1 month, quite happy to be working again (and making 50% more than the last temp agency paid!), and after 1 job interview she set up that went well but ultimately was not for me (they were afraid my commute would be too long), Erika had me placed at a local financial institution that ended up hiring me. She gave me good, practical advice as far as negotiating my salary and other hurdles as a potential new hire. Pay, benefits, growth potential, fit, and just overall job satisfaction are the best I've ever had and I would not have this great new career were it not for Erika Silvey @ Green Key Resources. 10/10, have recommended this agency/recruiter to many friends/family.

When I wasn't available when she wanted me to be for a Zoom interview, she was suddenly unresponsive and passed the assignment to someone else (which is perfectly fine), but was not forthcoming about that at all and instead said that the company no longer needed help with the project. The dishonesty speaks to a lack of professionalism and integrity, and the recruiter Maggie simply could have said that the company needed someone sooner. While temporary agencies have their clients' interest (businesses) first and foremost in mind, that does not mean job seekers and temporary employment candidates need to be lied to. After all, candidates are The Choice's and other temporary agencies source of revenue. In light of this, I write to let others know that candidates deserve to be treated with respect, and to job seekers: advocate for yourself when employment practices are not transparent. As someone else mentioned, the glowing reviews are curious and my previous not glowing review was flagged (most likely by The Choice). I highly suggest consulting other sources such as Glassdoor and Google for more holistic, balanced insight to inform your decision of whether to work with them.

Someone by the name of Gaby texted me out the blue saying that I attended an interview, which I am…read more200% certain that I didn't. I called for confirmation and she really tried to sell me on the fact that I interviewed with them. So like anyone who does not close doors on opportunities I asked for the job posting, and the rep could not provide one. She couldn't even recall my name. So why would you text me and ask for sensitive documents? I'm sure they are getting people employed, but imagine what the process is like if situations like this happen? If I was vulnerable I would have sent them all my sensitive documents with no job lined up.

This is the first time I used the Express Employment branch in Columbia, MD and this will also be…read morethe last time. I needed two temporary workers for a job fair event I was having at the BWI Four Points by Sheraton. I emailed the owner, Jim Craig, Wednesday evening to set someone up for the following Monday morning (5-days notice) The following morning at around 11am I contacted the office because I never heard back from anyone. Jim answered the phone and said "he was just about to send me an email" He told me Jessica is the person I want to speak with to set up the temps for Monday morning and that he'd forward my email to her so she'd have my information. The conversation with Jim was strange in that he seemed more concerned with making sure I have a billing account set up with Express rather than wondering what my needs were. Approximately 2pm, about 3 hours later, I called and spoke w/ Jessica. Jim had failed to send her the email so I forwarded her a copy. She said my temps would be no problem and asked if she could contact me the following morning to finalize. I said "yes." Friday afternoon came and I never heard back from Jessica so I called her. She said she "was just about to email me the temps info" and she would do it in 5 minutes. I ended up getting the email at 2:54pm, the end of the day Friday. Jessica had set up my two temp workers for Monday and emailed me their contact info so I could touch base with them. I called the first temp to confirm and was very unimpressed. He seemed completely void of social-functionality and I could barely hold a conversation with him regarding the logistics on Monday. The second person I tried calling didn't answer her phone, the call went to voicemail, which of course the voicemail box was full and I couldn't leave a message. I called her two times Friday afternoon / evening with no luck and also sent her a text. I emailed Jessica in hopes of having her help me get a hold of the temp with the full voicemail box. Jessica offered to try calling her from her phone. I asked Jessica for her personal cell phone # in case I have any emergency's with the temps over the weekend, ie...they cancel on me, etc...She did not reply to my email so I assume she doesn't want me to contact her. My event is on Monday morning and the workers need to be there at 10am. At this point I'm feeling extremely uncomfortable with the people that were chosen for my fair and uncomfortable with the fact that I'm not able to contact one of the workers, nor my Express Employment contact for that matter. My company hosts 16 job fairs per year in the Northeastern United States. I mainly use Express Employment for each of my job job fairs and have always had wonderful results with them, until now. In hindsight, I would have definitely chosen to go with a different staffing agency and saved myself the headache. My recommendation...skip past Express Employment in Columbia, MD and choose to contact a different staffing agency. I ended up calling OfficeTeam on Pratt Street in Baltimore on Saturday afternoon and they were able to help me with no problem!
