She was getting loud with me over the phone because I called back to back 3 times because it seemed to me that my phone call was being disconnected. Soon as she answered, she knew it was me which was very odd. She just became very irate for no reason at all.

They have great work opportunities, to include government and hospitality positions. My only problem is falling ill this year, in 2022. Although I had sick leave for nearly a week, I'm left with not knowing how to still bring in any income, until my quarantine period ends. The good thing about this is Micheal, Jeffery, and Byron do a good job informing and providing updates when company policies and resources change. Other great things about MB Staffing, when you work for the agency you become eligible for health benefits, 401k, sick leave, referral bonus, and more! If your looking to work with a professional black owned business this is a good one here!

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.

Hands down the BEST staffing agency I have ever worked with…read more I moved to DC recently and met with two other staffing places (on the larger side). Neither had what Palmer offers.

Beverley actually remembered me from 10 years ago, which says a lot considering the amount people and resumes that come across her desk. She was always enthusiastic, and helpful and took the time to understand what type of position I was seeking and placed with me excellent firms each time. Beverley was superb with following up with me as well as the employer. Since I have been hired, Beverley still checks in to make sure everything is going ok and to see if there is anything else that can be done on her end to make sure I am satisfied in my new position. My experience with Palmer, especially Beverley, has been overwhelmingly positive and I would not hesitate to recommend them.

I handle the team building for a small business and they make my job so much easier by identifying qualified candidates for us to interview. We have made some great hires because of their help. One thing we do to help CityStaff understand our needs and the type of candidates we are looking for is draft a very detailed job description that includes the culture and benefits, in addition to what the "realistic" job experience would be like for candidates. I also keep in touch on a consistent basis with CityStaff to give my thoughts, questions and feedback pre and post-interviews, and that has helped me and them understand how to best fill our open positions. Eroica and Jen are very responsive and professional, and each of our temps that have come through CityStaff have said they had positive experiences working with CityStaff. Keep up the good work.

On the fence about working/Applying with this Agency?…read more I read the yelp reviews, they are great! However, all of the Leadership at WB looks to me to be about 20 years old or less? I have interviewed in the past with very young Recruiters, have a bad feeling about them...giggly, unprofessional, silly, un-professional, and have no idea about what it is like to be a consummate professional in the USA, anymore. The most recent Recruiter I spoke with in Ashburn, VA. was a constant giggler! Sooooooo... Annoying. She was NOT working at Woodbridge, per se. but that is the type of Recruiter that I have been running into, all throughout the Virginia area. I am hoping for a much better experience with Woodbridge? I will write another Woodbridge review, once I speak with some there.

I read the previous review and felt I could offer a more fair and balanced opinion on Booz Allen…read moreHamilton. Firstly, this location is their headquarters and in the heart of Tyson's Corner. Booz Allen had owned and occupied 3 connected towers but I believe 1 of the 3 is now occupied by another corporation. They have numerous other locations in the DC Metropolitan area as well as across the United States. Secondly, as for health benefits, there are several choices ranging from HMO to PPO. As with most PPO's the high deductible was a decision forced largely by government legislation (and not horrible company bureaucrats). Some companies have been able to work in "stipends" by way of a HSA contributions and other have not. Booz Allen does contribute a stipend to the yearly HSA, which is a triple tax deduction. Thirdly, promotions are as merit worthy as any other employer in the beltway. Building a network does not require one to become an alcoholic, but rather requires you to get to know your peers, active participation in Booz Allen Hamilton sponsored initiatives and exemplary client facing delivery. Booz Allen Hamilton is a large services/staffing company, so differentiating yourself may require out of the box thinking (creativity), consistency and leadership sponsorship. I personally have not witnessed the need to "drink" or become an alcoholic. Fourth, there is truth to a services company needing to make money. Since Booz Allen Hamilton has over 90% of it's revenue from the federal government, it is natural to feel a push in times where government budgets for services are shrinking. The only way an individual can get a promotion is if the client is willing to pay more for the resource or there is a vacancy at a higher level (due to contract growth).

I had a lot of choices when it came to healthcare and everyone there makes you feel secure and included. There are countless opportunities to network and participate at Booz Allen sponsored events and I have personally attended a lot of them, where you will talk face to face with VP's who actually treat you as a valuable person. My career manager is my greatest advocate and I feel safe at Booz Allen knowing that he will help me stay working and fit where it makes me the happiest. They care about what your passion is and teaching you what you need to know including paying for certifications and providing training. It will be a tough day if I ever have to leave this company, as I do not think I will find anything better because I do not think there is anything better.
