This is a great team of knowledgable professionals, not just "any" staffing agency! From manangement to recruiters to admin staff, they have some really wonderful and skilled folks. Colleen is great for all admin, HR, Finance and accounting positions, while Corey is top notch with the technical side. I know quite a few people who have taken temp jobs that lead them to their permanent jobs, so unlike lots of agencies around SD, they are NOT people pushers. They do staff temp jobs if that is what you are looking for, but they do much more that just temps. TLC represents very reputable companies around San Diego. They may not always have plenty of openings but if you are looking to get your resume in front of some quality employers, I would start here and see what they can do for you! They cant control the economy or job market, but they are always pleasant and as helpful as they can be as you hunt for that perfect job. Start or strengthen your job hunt here! read more

Really disappointed with the professionalism of this group. I spent a good 30-45 minutes speaking to their representative who indicated a good relationship with the hiring team for the position I was interested in and assured me she'd be able to get some details that weren't available in the job posting and communicate those back to me in a couple of days. After a couple of weeks passed without any communication I called them to see what was going on. It was clear that they'd completely dropped the ball on getting back to me and had forgotten their assurances. They were only able to communicate that the hiring team had denied the candidates they'd presented. Overall, not much better than the email spam recruiters that simply find your resume on Dice by keyword search. read more

I'm not sure what happened to Joseph but my experience at TLC was one of the best. Yes, you have paperwork to fill out and safety videos to watch, but so do all the temp agencies. I think this is for insurance and legal requirements. I was treated respectfully by the receptionist and my recruiter and put me to work within a week at a large financial company. (Not sure if I should name it here.) Their jobs tend to be higher pay (requiring higher skills) so brush up on your word and excel (I think they have tutorials) than many of the other agencies I've worked with. Colleen says they get quite a bit of temp-to-hire but I only want temp for right now. The economy is tough, so if you are looking for work, hand in there! Try TLC Staffing and tell them Marie the Super-Temp sent you! read more

Lawton Group - Employment Agencies Near Me - San Diego, California

I have gotten 2 temping positions from TLC, and both have rolled over to full time. I think that's all you really need to know to give them a shot. Plus, I always like supporting a local woman owned company! read more

As long as you do a follow up call every Monday morning they put your name on the active list and find you jobs immediately. In the end the job search is ultimately up to you as they will tell you the $$$ figure they offer for the job and what it entails. I will say that only small negative is that the money is a little less than one of their competitors. However having said that, TLCs Lawton Group works for you first before the company whereas their competition works for the company customer which can leave you stranded in most cases. Since being hired full time from Lawton I have doubled my salary in less than two years. So as long as you prove your worth to your new business Lawton's job of making a good match of two customers is complete, thank you Colleen and Lawton Group. read more

I love this staffing agency I went to a bunch of different staffing agencies in one day the other ones still haven't found work for me to this day they don't even call.. how ever this one had called me the very day I went in with a job a few hours after I turned in my application.. the staff is very friendly and my worker kimberly is very good at handling any problems and she calls me weekly even though I am on assignment to make sure everything is going well. By far one of the best agencies around.. I went to apple one pirate and go staff just so you know what the others were.. read more

This is the best employment agency I have ever worked for. They are so caring and placed me with the perfect company.

I was so impressed with the professionalism of this group. They are the best employment agency I ever worked for.

Waste of time. You have to watch a very long, drawn out, super boring video prior to your interview that is so elementary it made me feel like I was back in kindergarten. Oh and you get to answer questions on a piece of paper to make sure you understood what you were watching. Lots and lots of paperwork and testing. Very, very few jobs. The whole time I waited in the waiting room (a good half hour) their reception phone did not ring once. Don't recommend unless you have time to waste! read more

I worked at the Lawton group in and judy was the worst person I had contact with. She was not interested in finding me a job and every time I called her, she would tell me "I tell the recruiters". I heard from her 5 times in 15 months. read more

I absolutely love this Group! I was unfortunately stuck like many Americans in the UNEMPLOYED world after working my entire adult life so far and some of my teenage years too. However, I was discovered by the AWESOME people at The Lawton Group and all of a sudden I am working again. It's not easy being unemployed and my true desire is to be hired on by the company I am presently on assignment with. But, if that is not in the cards at this time, I am comforted in knowing that I will not be without work for very long. I have been on 2 assignments and 3 interviews through the Lawton Group. They really work for you! You just have to want it and be willing to try! Thanks Nauni, Kimberly, Judy & Sarah. Everyone is completely wonderful there. However, the afore mentioned names have been my regular connections with this GREAT Company! I encourage all to try calling or emailing or Facebooking them!! read more

STAY AWAY from this firm. I submitted my resume for consideration and job search and the recruiter said that they would be interested in hiring me internally. So, she then put me in contact with the president who doesn't work from the office but home. I spoke to her and she seemed excited. Then I went to the office to interview for a technical recruiter position, and this person, the CEO presumably, said that she had been in charge of technical recruiting until now. What I found strange was that she knew nothing about technology. I mentioned a project I worked on using PHP - a widely known programming language and she replied, "What's that?" Red flag. Then after being pumped up with confidence that she thought it was a "great fit" she alluded to future conversations and meeting other staff members. I then was sent an aptitude test followed by a phone call from a "consultant," a older condescending man, of the company who questioned every detail of my resume. He asked, "You got a BA in Literature?" To which I replied yes. He then asked me if that was a 2 year or a 4 year degree. I was floored. Then he said that he had never heard of Point Loma Nazarene University before, a private school that competes with Ivy league schools on many levels in San Diego, where the recruiting agency is located. Again, floored and red flag. He continued with his battery of questions and seemed more concerned with proving me a fraud than actually engaging in conversation. After that, in response to an email I sent about the conversation, I was told immediately that I didn't complete the aptitude test on time and she found a better candidate. This is AFTER she had already told me to come in the following Tuesday for an interview, intimating that I had the job. The two ladies who own this outfit are very unprofessional and clueless. They admitted themselves that they cannot keep pace with technology and have nearly closed their doors twice due to problems with the business. Their staff seemed miserable, too. To top it off, my resume was never shopped out to any employers. Terrible. read more

I just called the agency regarding a job position i am really interested in working for Data Entry. This job position is still on the post but they say they need someone to work asap. I wonder how long is ASAP means. As i spoke to the recruiter and the feedback was only saying uh huh uh huh uh huh and i was like ummmmm agency people cannot say anything else than a professional words? I had to say THANK YOU TO CONTACT YOU AND I REALLY APPRECIATE IT AND THEN SHE ONLY ANSWERS UH HUH and then what? hung up!. I am really not understanding how they get hired from companies like this if they really dont want to help a candidate. read more
