They have always been fair and try there best to place you somewhere that fits your requirement. I have always been paid in a timely manner, and often there is an increase in pay. I absolutely love and adore Marianne Cozzi. She's the glue at Vanguard! She is warm, welcoming, and genuinely interested. She always takes the time to place me somewhere that I will excel. Whenever she has something I may be interested in she goes out of her way to make sure I know about it. She has offered amazing advice, and help. Thank you Marianne for being a Maverick and all around awesome person!

I've been looking for a PERMANENT job and have a pretty solid resume (I've been in the same field…read morefor 20 years) and, of course, have been contacted by recruiters to come in and talk. Vanguard was one of them. I don't know/or didn't know if this place was for people looking for full time and temp work or just temp work. I just got a nice call from a guy named Brian and came in the next day, filled out an application (although I was confused by that, since I wasn't applying for a job with Vanguard) and had a nice discussion with said Brian about what I was looking for. Fine so far. Then, he proceeded to present me with so much paperwork, I thought I was being arrested or signing up for sex reassignment surgery. I didn't actually think much of it but didn't have the time to sit there and go through it, as I had another appointment that I was already late for. When Brian was nice enough to e-mail me the stuff to fill out, I looked at it carefully. Why do they need to have my DIRECT DEPOSIT INFORMATION???? I want a FULL TIME job. I DO NOT WORK FOR VANGUARD. This is really ambiguous and a bit decieving. There is absolutely no reason why they should have any of that information unless you are tempting through them. Just a warning. I'm not sending any of this stuff back. Obviously. What's your favorite employment agency, btw? It's been about 10 years since I've looked for a job!

My previous experience with recruiting firms in the finance/technology space was dismal, consisting…read moreof rushed conversations with recruiters that were mostly interested in pushing as many candidates into as many interviews as possible. I felt this both as a hiring manager and also when it came time to find a new opportunity myself, so more or less wrote off the entire industry as a hustle. Grady Levkov is *not* that type of firm at all and the fact that I'm compelled to write a review for a recruiting firm hopefully demonstrates what an outlier I feel they are in the industry. From my first conversation with Josh Levkov, which lasted over an hour (approximately 59 minutes longer than most conversations with recruiters), I knew that something different was going on. He took the time to actually digest my background, ask a lot of questions about my goals, and, most importantly, not try to sell me on a specific opportunity or agenda. Once I agreed to meet a very elite and targeted group of companies, I quickly learned that the executives there also had a positive bias towards Grady Levkov, presumably because of successful placements in the past (including themselves). Ultimately, I ended up with a perfect opportunity and am 100% convinced that it would not have have happened if I went with another recruiting firm or, worse, a random assortment of cold-calling recruiters. Throughout the process, whether my interviews went well or poorly, I was treated with a lot of respect and honesty. There was constant communication each step of the way from both Josh and his team, and even after my offer was signed, follow-up calls to ensure that everyone was happy with the fit. The experience was such a positive one that I will now *only* use Grady Levkov in the future when conducting my own candidate searches. To me, they are a "throwback" type of firm, embodying the idea that good people need good people to find good people. Hopefully this review will save others the time of looking elsewhere.

I was not in a good financial place and felt like I could get dismissed for being overqualified or slammed because I didn't formally make an appointment but they did goy me on board very quickly in the long term temporary assignment I'm still on now. My interactions with staff have always been professional and Jennifer herself has always made me feel like she had my back and supported me, something very people have done in my professional life. While there have been situations they can't control that have popped up in my assignment, Percy and other staff members have made me feel like they cared and took what I said seriously. They've also never been flaky on pay and made sure their workers get paid on time. I told them about a pending wage theft case for a substantial sum that I'm still dealing with and they have never, ever expected me to work for "maybe" money or put me off on that front. But what really makes them above and beyond is the fact that they sent me a New Year's gift card that I wasn't even expecting to thank me for my service. Many employers and contractors I worked with didn't do that. They are the only temp agency I've dealt who ever did that so if I knew someone who needed temps or someone who needed a job they had to fill, I'd refer them here in a heartbeat.

I'm honestly surprised to see some poor reviews here for Windsor. Following my last role, I hit the…read morepavement hard and met with every recruiting group under the sun.. some were good, others not so much. My experience with Meredith and her team at Windsor (Jill, Maggi) was nothing short of amazing -- think of her as Jerry Maguire to my Rod Tidwell. She took the time to understand who I was and what I wanted, she spoke WITH me rather than AT me. The misconception is that all recruiters perform and behave the same way 'since it's in their best interest', but frankly not everyone values quality over quantity. Where Meredith stood out most was her relentless & aggressive approach to the work.. whereas others would simply submit me for roles and call it a day, Meredith cultivated her network and PUSHED for my candidacy. As a result, she helped me to land incredible top-tier interviews.. one of which resulted in a phenomenal offer that I recently accepted. Her investment in me was unparalleled, and I couldn't recommend her and her team more if you value your career and advancement as I do.

Even if I am just going on 90 minute interviews that never lead anywhere with the hardest questions I have ever been asked in my life. Hey, at least it gets me dressed up, out and about talking to real live people instead of the dim-wits on the TV screen all day, some entertainment value (last interview was with one straaaange crew) and nice free cold bottles of water!
