I've used this agency 3 times and I've had nothing but successful assignments within wonderful organizations with great employees. I enjoy meeting with Brett and now Caitlin ( I've worked with her before and she's awesome). Hammes Staffing Services has a proven track record of placing workers in various industries within the Charleston County Area. It's these friendly and harmonious relationships that Hammes has with the local organizations that are to the benefit of the applicants. I just go online, see what's available, upload my most recent resume and wait for a call back. The usual wait time for me has been about a week in which I go to the interview, Drug test, TB test, Criminal Back ground check and report for work as usual. I was able to set up my payment method and submit my time sheet electronically without having to drive over to Hammes each week to submit paperwork or receive a paycheck. Easy Breezy! My last assignment was as a School Secretary with the Mary Ford Child Development Center. It was a wonderful temporary position as a school secretary for infants to children 4yrs old. I enjoyed the assignment very much as it was enriching and endearing to my heart. When the young lady on FMLA returned to work, I left kicking and screaming. While at the school, I was the greeter and first point of contact for information for the students, parents, vendors, contractors, teachers, principals, employees, school nurses, school social workers, and safety officers. I scheduled appointments, answer the phones, replied to and composed emails, and provided administrative support to teachers, parents, and school officials. I was trained in submitting purchases for the Charleston County School district. I also learned how to put in purchase orders, put in maintenance requests, submit electronic requests for equipment repairs, and call in substitute teachers. I was also assisting the parents with new or temporary badges to gain entry in and out of the school. My Greatest accomplishment while there was receiving my Munis General Ledger Certification!!! Indeed has never worked for me, just in past month, i've applied to 134 jobs and got 0 offers, 1 phone interview as an Armored Car "Customer Service Rep", 0 offers and 0 hires. I am looking forward to working with Brett and Caitlin again in the near future. I highly recommend! read more

I have had pleasant experiences with one staffing company so far in Charleston. Let me start off by saying that I filled out an application on indeed and immediately received an invitation to come in to interview. I arrived and was immediately asked to fill out another application (face palm). It took about 10 mins to fill it out, I sat down with a recruiter and we talked for literally 5 mins. I was told I would probably have an interview and asked what areas I would drive to and wouldn't drive to. Sent a few follow up emails and did not receive any response. I arrived 10 mins early, I had on a nice suit and long sleeve button down, my hair and nails were manicured, had resume in hand with other items so I really do not understand the lack of response or follow-up. I have heard reviews about other experiences other minorities have had with this staffing agency, but I wanted to go into the interview with a clear head. I am a little annoyed because I wasted time off of my current job with the hopes that they would help me find something more suitable for me. For this headache, I have decided I can do the leg work myself as I do not receive support from them in this step of seeking employment so I could only imagine how it would be had I been hired on by them for a client and then had issues on the long run. Please don't waste your time. I would highly recommend Charles Foster or Trace Staffing (where one of the recruiters @ Hammes Staffing). They will help you and be open and honest in the process.

I went to this temp agency in March looking for a temp job since I was displaced from my former job. Did all of the paperwork. They never called me to tell me they were still working on finding me placement or anything. I would not recommend them for nothing. read more
