I've worked with Tracy and The Buzz Co staff on multiple occasions throughout my career, both when…read morejob searching and in referring candidates from my network, and will continue to do so. Tracy is one of the most talented recruiters I've gotten to know. She has an unmatched ability to gain a deeper understanding of her candidates' strengths and best skill sets far beyond their credentials, enabling her to 'match-make' with extraordinary precision. This also allows her to identify uniquely valuable talent that others in the industry often tend to overlook. I never fail to be impressed by Tracy's comfortingly calm demeanor, not to mention how it co-exists with unwavering tenacity in her efforts. Most importantly, Tracy and her staff have made me feel valuable in times of doubt and like I had an ally when I needed it most. I've had nothing but positive experiences with The Buzz Co.

I tried to give Buzz Co a shot, I know they have been around for a long time and when I met with…read morethem, they seemed really nice, eager, positive and ready & willing to help me find work, but I have yet to get 1 opportunity from them in the last year+. I'm pretty sure it's because of the high turnover rate. It's insane how many different recruiter contacts I've had there... each one has only lasted a few months before they move onto another agency. I have worked with at least 4-5 new Buzz recruiters in the last year! Sure that's why I don't get ANY opportunities via Buzz. No one stays around long enough to form a real relationship with their candidates or at least with me. Forming these relationships is your bread and butter of what you do...How are you STILL a company Buzz Co?

They just don't follow up with people. The people in charge are so bad at their jobs that they…read moredon't understand that we're not dependent on them as much as THEY are dependent on the goodwill and personal endorsements of the people they manage and recruit. Nothing but dead air lately from The Smart Dept. I worked a job for them a while back and they did NOT have my back when the situation fell apart. They privately told me they were on my side and understood what my issues were with the client, but they did nothing to earn the money they robbed from me. This is a garbage company. Even something as basic as the lack of a search option on their website that would allow an applicant to search for local jobs, jobs in their field, or remote work has not been made available to applicants, which shows how out of touch and dumb this "smart" department really is. EDIT: Weeks have gone by without so much as an email telling me they've received any of my applications. They're on my block list now. I suspect the positive reviews here have come from employees of Smart Dept itself, or other plants and familiars.

Working with the Smartdept has been great. To begin with, they stay in touch. Often, creative…read morestaffing agencies forget about you or don't respond at all. Even though Smartdept is a small agency, I'd rate them as one of the better creative staffing agencies in the Seattle area. I'm registered with at least six of them. I regularly get work from only three and Smartdept is one of them. If you're looking for freelance work, give them a call. It can't hurt.

From start to finish, working with Lisa Chew was outstanding. She connected me to my firm, where I…read morehave been enjoying working for about a month now. Through interviewing, Lisa was able to understand and align my values with my current company. Lisa ensured that all of my concerns or questions were addressed and always responded in a timely and professional manner. Thank you Lisa and Chicago Hire team for all your help. I would highly recommend this group if you are ever in need of finding work.

I cannot overemphasize the quality, professionalism and attentiveness of The Chicago Hire Company…read more Within days of submitting my application they connected me with several companies with whom I got interviews. Before each interview, they sent me a very thorough prep-sheet. They spent a lot of time on the phone with me getting to know my preferences and career goals. They made contact with me before and after every interview to provide guidance and process the experience. I know they are super busy, but it felt like I was their only client. Also, there was a sense of fun about working with them! I'd utilized three other recruiting agencies before I found them and I'd come to expect poor service and constant checking in to remind them to work for you. My experience at The Chicago Hire Company was completely different. They are excellent and I can't recommend them enough!

If I could give NBSG 10 stars, I would! I can't say enough about this team!…read more After a company downsize a few years ago, I found myself unemployed and unsure about what to do. Fortunately, I used North Bridge to bring in temps for vacation coverage while at my previous position, so they were (naturally) the first place I called. Man, that was the BEST call to have made! Since that time, I have worked with Erin, Gerri and a few others for several years, filling many long-term temporary positions. I discovered early on that I didn't want to commit myself completely to another large company; I fell in love with the consistent positions that I was able to find in their opportunities. I have been able to diversify my portfolio of industries, ramp up my skills and hone in on the positions/roles that I excel in. Erin and Gerri took the time to truly get to know me, my personality, skills and my desires and they have been able to connect me with so many great opportunities. All of my recent personal development is 100% due to their amazing time with me and finding positions that match my needs/skills. I wish that they had an office in California so I could continue working with them. If I was not moving, I would continue to work with them. If you are not sure of where/what you want to work with, temp positions are perfect for you. North Bridge is the perfect place to start your journey. Thank you Erin, Gerri and the full NBSG team!

When Northbridge…read morefirst reached out to me, I had recently left a horrible agency and did not have high hopes for finding a new assignment so soon. But from my first interview with Erin, she has been able to consistently find job assignments and keep me working throughout the year. Usually, once you hand in your resume to an agency, you never hear from them again or don't hear from them for awhile. That was not the case with Erin. She is great with maintaining communication with me about every single job offer I qualify for. I recommend Northbridge to all of my family members and friends who are looking for work.
