In my personal experience, the recruiter I was working with was not forthcoming about an…read moreopportunity. 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.

For some crazy reason, something called "bills" need to be paid so I turned to Craigslist to find a…read morepart-time gig and came across an ad posted by Contact 1. I was a little skeptical at first about staffing agencies (I'm a skeptic about everything) but decided to give them a try. I was contacted and was in their office the next day filling out paperwork for payroll. I was set up with a position to work at a non profit call center that very evening! I really couldn't believe how easy and quick it was considering I've had harder times placing orders at drive thrus. Everyone was extremely friendly and professional and the office was very easy to find. The biggest plus in my book besides the staff was getting paid every week....my bank account appreciated that. Glad I gave them a try and I'll be sure to check with them if I ever need another gig. Chris, thank you for being awesome!

Honestly, I am disabled and looking for work. My social worker told me about Jubilee Jobs. If you…read moreare an atheist, or not very religious, I don't suggest it. They are VERY preachy. And no matter what your skill set, they will stick you in a dead end McJob, if they do find you a job. An extra star, because they do help out a lot of people. But that's a double edged sword. They take pretty much anybody, including drooling idiots who don't understand instructions. I prefer a more selective program, such as StreetWise Partners. Unfortunately, I had this one workshop where, even though the guy passed out materials for it, The leader of the group spent the whole hour talking about his life. Nice guy, but not very instructive. Another minus is that they make women wear skirts for every interview and function there. Are they unaware that perfectly professional pantsuits exist?

Temporaries Now provides amazing services to both staff and organizations needing them. I began…read moreworking with Temporaries Now back in 1999 when I was finishing up my college degree and seeking opportunities to expand my professional horizons. The interview process with Temporaries Now was, and still is, rigorous. Personality evaluation, and skills testing ensures a comprehensive picture of each candidate and gives the candidate an opportunity to get feedback and an assessment of their interview skills. Once on-board as a "temp" there are a myriad of benefits offered to staff not often found at other firms. These benefits include, but are not limited to, computerized training, insurance options, paid leave, and many opportunities for recognition. The owner, Dale, cares about his staff, and it shows, he is constantly seeking out ways to provide incentives and recognition to his employees. I was ultimately offered a challenging assignment via Temporaries Now with a major IT firm in the local area. This assignment lead to a professional job offer and a career that has now lasted for over 15 years! So, whether you are an organization seeking temporary or permanent staffing or a candidate seeking work opportunities, I would highly recommend checking out Temporaries Now. The quality of this organization and staff are second to none.

The reason this place has so few reviews is they aren't actually interested in getting clients. I…read morefirst spoke to someone on the phone, expecting to make an appointment to discuss my objectives and job search. Instead, I was told to email my resume and career goals, to see if they would be able to help me find work. I figured that made sense because they might only have contacts in specific sectors or deal with certain levels of experience. The man assured me that they could probably still give me career advice, even if they couldn't get me a job. So I sent in my resume along with goals and details about my experience. A few days later I was caught off guard by an automated email telling me that "[my] resume was not selected to be moved forward for this particular position." The email stated that, even though I didn't get the "position," my resume would be stored if another opportunity arose. Pretty confusing since I was seeking career help, not a particular position, and I had followed the employee's instructions for the email to a T. The message was signed "The Staff of Gaskins Search Group." There was nothing about career advice or even the mention of a recruiter. I was really surprised by the lack of professionalism, especially after the person I spoke to made it seem like they were willing to help. My advice is not to waste your time with Temporaries Now. Find a temp agency that actually cares about placing people in jobs.
