As a person that has been working in fabs and clean rooms for the past 14 years, lay offs or contracts for a certain duration of months kind of become the "norm" for this line of work. But, for every one place that lays off, there's 10 more places ready to hire. As a part of the transition into a new company, having to go through employment agencies is usually standard. Now I've been to many, MANY, employment agencies over the years. Whether It was just to come in and submit a resume, interview, or get hired directly by a company but have to go through the probationary period with a employment agency is standard. In other words, lack luster. All most all places tend have you feeling like your apart of some assembly line that just brings you in and moves you out like a product, it's all just part of the process and it's just business to get you in and out, at least that's how it's felt like in the past. So much so that it's never made me want to go and write a review about the agencies I've been too. Not with Express Pros though. I was interviewed for a company that wanted to hire me right away but I had to go through Express Pros for the typical paper work, drug screening, and background check as usual. I met at the office of Express Pros the following day and I was greeted by Yolanda Sanchez. I got a sense right away that i was not just some random person they were trying to just get into a company as she was really nice, had all paper work ready to sign, very informative but in a quick and professional manner (not unnecessarily long and droning like 99% of the other employment agencies). She also informed me to fill out the form online the day before so it can speed up the process in office (this is extremely helpful as most other agencies will have you fill out a physical, paper form or in some instances on a computer in their offices which is something I can just do at home the day before!). The paper work was a fast and smooth process like I've never experienced before, it was awesome. Now, every agency I've been to required a drug screening. No problem, it's just kind of annoying that I have to book a separate appointment at a place that administers drug screening and this can usually take about week to take said test and get results. Not at Express Pros. They gave me the drug screening in office. I was shocked (in a good way) to hear this as I've never went to a agency that did so in office. And you get the results same day. Wow! I was blown away by this information and rather impressed. And since I am drug free, I was also very excited to not have to go to a separate place and to just get the drug screening over with ASAP. After all was said and done, I finished everything within about a hour. I also spoke to Linda and Bill Neufield, they are the husband and wife team that run Express Pros. Two of the nicest people I've ever spoken to at a employment agency. We spoke about other topics unrelated to employment, it was rather pleasant. It felt like a family like environment in the office, something you never experience at other employment agencies. Yolanda, Linda, and Bill really left me with a great and heartwarming experience throughout my visit at Express pro. But wait, I still had the background check to clear. No problem, I am also a law abiding citizen so I was not worried but in the past, I've had to wait up to a week or even 3 weeks before I got my background check cleared. They informed me it'd take only about two days. I'm not gonna lie, I thought it'd take longer. But, something I never thought would happen, happened. My background check cleared the same day, WOW!!! Now keep in mind, Yolanda told me this by far the fastest background check that's cleared at their offices but, I truly believe that they can get anyone else's background check info in two days. This was a amazing experience, so much so that I had to write a review about the outstanding service, professional, and hospitality that I came across at Express Pros. The reviews that were saying negative things had to be bogus or the people that wrote those bad reviews just seem like people that are just natural born jerks as it seems impossible to get any type of bad vibe or service from The professionals at Express Pros. If anyone that I know is looking for a job, I will quickly refer them to Express Pros and I strongly suggest that if you are reading this and looking for a job to do the same! read more
