My husband and I are over the moon with our nanny! Ivy Lane has been such a life saver during what…read moreseemed like such a daunting and arduous nanny search. We've used other agencies in the past and were pretty underwhelmed until we connected with Mari. We decided to stick with Ivy Lane for many reasons, they took the time to really listen to our needs and requirements, they were kind and professional throughout, and the caliber of nannies that we interviewed. The founder has been very communicative, professional, detailed, and would check in throughout the entire process- even when we would forget to share our updates (mommy brain!). Most importantly our daughter loves our nanny so so much and that really should speak wonders. We are so grateful and couldn't be happier! I've referred Ivy Lane to all the my mommy friends and a few of them have already started working with Mari!

I started the initial stages of my job search with a lot of enthusiasm and with a list of…read morequalifications that I was determined to find in my next job. I must have submitted my resume into a dozen job agency ads/websites, various online portals (Monster, Ziprecruiter, LinkedInetc) and spoke with many representatives while visiting their offices. Over time, the search became repetitive and discouraging, as it stretched longer than anticipated and I was getting the same dead-end responses from recruiters. It was a breath of fresh air when Elite Placement reached out to me. Right away I noticed the differences in their service. John and his team are certainly the experts that were there to support, ready to communicate, and sincerely want to go above and beyond to find the right job for me. My main contact was John. He was very professional, stayed transparent and accessible to answer any/all questions via email and phone. This was comforting for me because I was not familiar with the "temp to hire" process and I had moments when it was easy to let negatives creep into my thoughts. Please note it is so important to not give up or settle for any offers that are on the table especially if it doesn't fullfill all your requirements. From my first conversation with John to the time I received my official offer letter, it took a total of 6 months. A lot of sacrificing and adjustments were made along the way, but John and his team stayed supportive and encouraging the entire time. Remember that they are on your side! I feel really lucky to have found Elite Placement Group. It is a wonderful feeling and a great sense of accomplishment when finally signing that offer letter. I now hold a position that aligns with my career and within the company of my top choice. I am beyond happy and this is the best gift I can receive right before the Holidays. I feel blessed that I can spend happy times with my family without having to worry about my future. Thank you John and Team! Wishing you guys lots of success and happiness in the future!

Clearly temporary, temporary-hire jobs no longer exist because if they did, Elite Placement Group…read morewould be reaching out to those of us who have backgrounds in the industries/roles they "specialize" placements in.

Staffing agencies are not like they once were, they are now a scam.

She was warm, professional, proactive and a true advocate for me and my talent. She carefully selected high-quality roles for me to review and went above and beyond throughout the entire process. What impressed me most was that her support did not stop once I landed the role. Months into my new position, she was still checking in, which showed a level of professionalism, class and care that is incredibly rare. Most people I know never hear from recruiters again after they start a new job, but Alexa has truly raised the bar! Thank you, Alexa and team!

I met Michelle at a time when I was at a low point in my nanny career and personal life. I had…read morebeen looking for top nanny position and had been on many interviews through other agencies. It seemed like I had landed a few dream jobs only for it to slip away from me. Really trying times. Then I met Michelle! This brings a smile to my face. Meeting with her felt like chatting with a friend. I realized after that this is her skill. She loves people and wants to represent both the families and the nannies. It was a slow period and she didn't have any job opportunities at the time when I signed up with her agency, the perfect placement. After being on the hunt for my top nanny job with a kind family for many months and it wasn't happening I was getting ready to move out of state. I mentioned to Michelle that I'm no longer looking for a position as it doesn't seem like it's going to happen. Michelle didn't give up on me. She called me with 2 opportunities. I went on both interviews and was called back to do a trial for the one that I wanted !! Yay !! Then Michelle negotiated some time off that I needed to take care of a health issue. The family was so wonderful they waited for me ! All I can say everything lined up perfectly. Michelle will always return your call in a timely manner and she always checks in to see how you're doing. I thank God I met Michelle !

She was confident that she could find someone to meet our unique needs and I was happily surprised. Within days, she had multiple candidates for me to interview and we found the most incredible woman, who has truly been the perfect fit for our family. We could not be happier. Michelle also assisted me in setting up payment services etc for our employee and it was all so seamless and easy. Throughout the process, Michelle was knowledgeable, reassuring and responsive.
