Looking at reviews on Glassdoor (only 8) and Yelp, I do not seem to find more than a couple that are less than a year old; the rest are more than 12 months, and quite a few are in the 9 to 14 year range.

Given the complexity of the business, our company sought something in particular. As I walked in, all of the chairs were occupied with likely candidates seeking jobs. Not wanting to wait and given the line, I took a business card first. I spoke with the lady owner Elaine and told her what we sought (qualifications and job duties and the asking salary. Within a few hours, she shared a referral with me, giving this cell # to exchange email addresses. A week later, she shared another referral but, through a former coworker, my employer hired her relative to try for the position. He is still going through the training period but I'm keeping those names, email addresses, and cell #'s just in case. Thank you, Elaine and Ling Ling, for giving us options. Though things seem to be working out, you may hear from me again.

Michelle was on top of every opportunity she threw at me and she ended up getting me the salary I wanted. I worked with 5+ recruiting agencies in the bay area, and she was by far the best recruiter I have ever worked with (including in NYC too!) Thank you Michelle & Talent Avenue!!

Talent Avenue is not a good staffing agency. Let me tell you why:…read more Every staffing agency adds a markup to the hourly rate they pay out to you. Usually, it'll be around like 30%. So, say they pay you $50, then they bill the company you work for $65. That's a lot, but good staffing agencies offer a lot of added value in return for that: full benefits, 401k, responsive staff, regular check-in calls and coffee together. Talent Avenue adds almost a 100% markup on top of your hourly rate. So if they pay you $50, they are charging the company $95. What do they give you in return? Nothing. It's hard to even get them on the phone, let alone get any type of benefits like insurance and 401k. They frequently pay late. They don't keep their promises. Once Michelle lied to me about some details regarding a position. If you ask them for anything, they respond as if you're an asshole for even asking. Even calling them a staffing agency is a bit of a stretch. It's just two inattentive, rude, narcissistic people working out of a tiny office, with one more person working in accounting. Do not work with these people. They have no job postings that you can't get from a different agency. All bay area tech companies work with multiple staffing agencies to fill the same role and it's a race between the agencies to see who fills it first. If Talent Ave gets you in the door, ask your hiring manager if you can get onboarded through a different agency. These guys are the absolute worst. Michelle is a straight up narcissist and so mentally ill that I'm afraid she'll try to retaliate towards me in response to this review. Good thing I've already taken countermeasures against that.
