They regularly contact you during work search and after placement to make sure your needs are met.

Creative Circle is a brilliant concept. And, I believe there's ample room for the company to live…read moreup to their stated values. The actual people I have had the pleasure to engage with have always been lovely. But, my observation of their business model is that they are income-focused-first and relationship-focused somewhere much further down the line. Being more net-income-centric than human-centric resonates as more similar to "following" than "leading" in business, most certainly in the marketing world they represent, where consumers are critical and have endless options. Mine is, of course, just an anecdote, one experience. I have received dozens of invitations to apply for roles and I have responded to a select few, only those where the fit between my skillset and the work required was genuinely aligned. And, I've never received a response of any kind. There's a very modest time investment they make upfront, evaluating prospective employees', like myself, experience and expertise at the start of the relationship, then the 1:1 communication seems to end there. It's been disappointing. If I were ever asked "How can we improve?" I would offer that the opportunity for Creative Circle here, as I see it, is to reflect on your values as a company, take a look at the shifting marketplace, and create an authentically human-focused engagement environment where there's trust fostered, earned and realized between the employer, the prospective employee and the Creative Circle brand --- and the real-life humans behind that brand. I realize that's potentially a daunting task, perhaps one that eats into net income... but someone's out there trying to figure it out. Why not you? With all due respect, this has just been my experience. Perhaps others have enjoyed something more meaningful and valuable in their collab with Creative Circle. The other reviews here would suggest so, but I suspect there's a lot more folks out there who feel similarly but have too much else to worry about right now than a yelp review.

Overall, working with this agency was a negative experience. They stole money from me by keeping my…read morepay from a job, but I will get to that... I didn't mind that they make you pay to take a class before starting, it was expensive ($350), but fun and helped a new timer learn a few things. I didn't like that they make you take (HORRIBLE) headshots through their company for $400 per session. I've modeled over 100 times and never have I received such awful photos. The headshot experience is uncomfortable and fake, it shows in the photos (that end up with terrible photo-shopping on top of it). I hated that they make everyone retake the headshots every year. But what is really making me write this review was what happened after 4 or 5 years of trying to make things work with them. I accepted a decent paying job at a convention center, being a hair model for a high end hair coloring company out of LA. I planned to send in my resignation sometime after. It usually takes quite a few weeks (sometimes months) to get your pay check from the agency, but after I quit, I never received one for the hair show. I contacted them in January about tax info and my missing paycheck and the response I received was atrocious! Bob, the ring leader, responded with info about their snaky little contract. Sneaky, yes, but more so snaky. He told me that I am responsible for scheduling their expensive and terrible headshot session (that I don't want and dread) on time, each year. Since I did the hair show after the one year marked date of my last set of headshots (that were so bad I couldn't even use them), and since I was not renewing my contract, they had the right to collect the money I would have spent if I were to have had the headshots done. Following me here? ...they took the $400 out of my paycheck for headshots I never got. They also took their 20% fee along with it. So, my $500 paycheck for working 22hrs in 2 days, on heals, and getting my hair royally f*cked up in the process, was stolen. (The heals thing is a big deal to me because I've had RA in my whole body since I was 4yrs old. I couldn't walk for days after pushing through this hair show.) I lost so much money doing this job, re-dying my very long hair was outrageously expensive, not to mention the time I took off work to be there for 11hrs - 2 days in a row. But it would have been worth it for my paycheck. ***Side Issue: They promise you one year with the headshots. But they take a long amount of time to process them. It took 2 months to get my last set of headshots. The amount of time I actually got to use the headshots before the contact says they get to keep your money is only about 10 months, even though they promise you a year. JUST DON'T DO IT. THERE ARE SO MUCH & SO MANY BETTER AGENCIES IN SEATTLE. Save yourself the money and they BS and go with someone else. I could go on and on about the things they say they offer and how much they don't follow through. Including a bi-weekly improv night that comes with your contract, to help you enhance your skills, that would get cancelled more than actually happen. There was one year I stayed with the company only for the improv nights, and it was cancelled altogether for the most part of that year. Just don't do it. It's for young people who don't know how much they are being taken advantage of.

Not a great experience at all. I feel they upsell their headshots (you have to have them taken by…read morethem), and you have to enroll in classes. A lot is promised upfront and never delivered. You really get more of what feels like a sales pitch. In our situation a price was quoted and then conveniently forgotten about. So we were in an odd situation, I reluctantly paid and moved on. No receipt or contract was given to me. I have been trying for months to have our class deposits returned as I have finally come to my senses and they have not responded.

Though job interviewing has a tendency to be a stressful process, she helped me keep my head on straight by always being straightforward with where I stood. She provided lots of helpful engagement tips and offered effective follow-up communications. Week after week, Laurel demonstrated a high level of professionalism and was personable throughout.

Looking back I felt that there may have been some bias in how I looked. If I had been a male I feel I would have had better quality of service I was provided with no kind of career opportunities, eg such as Job Corp b/c I was within the age 16-24 I was 21 . I was just not listened to. I was even provided with an accessment with one question being would you travel for for job, I did say that I would love a job that would have me travel . I went to WS for close to 15 years on one occassion I had a man give me a glaring mean look for no reason. Worksource you really need to help out females coming home from the military, show some interest & HELP PLEASE. This just wasn't what I received. And it hurts. One particular employment specialist said to me the following: "You should try baking". Now this wasn't a bad idea, however here is were I had an issue. I was given absolutely NO info on who to contact, no phone number, just nothing. This is a message to all the WS employment specialists: Please treat the men & women who come to your desk with better caring please! I just didn't get this. All I did was waste my time. I live out of state studying at college. It has not been easy either. The offices I primarily went to were the ones on Rainier Ave & out in Renton on Grady Way. With the worse on out in Siverdale who was absolutely no help no support.

Instead of apologizing, they tried to blame. This partime, they placed me with Process Technology. Two days in, I was messaging my recruiter begging to be placed somewhere else. This place was and still is a factory of nothing but OSHA, I ended up hurting my right shoulder and was denied medical. My recruiter kept saying they had no jobs, yet was sending me job notifications asking me if I knew anyone who was looking to be placed. I said, me. He ignored. I also had to hound them for weeks to fix my pay. I then had to text them to tell them I was being harassed at the job by a coworker because Process Technology was not doing anything. I have all those conversations recorded. I continued to ask for a different placement constantly. I was actively looking for a new job, but most places use temp agencies. I ended up hurting my right shoulder again doing the same job that I had begged to be put elsewhere. I was not allowed in HR because you are only allowed after work hours and have to clock out. I need to be somewhere at 3 every day. Express Professionals is responsible for paying for my treatments, but they are not filling the proper paperwork. I have asked thru numerous texts for the number to contact the insurance and my claim number. Express Professionals, or shall I say the owner is refusing to help me get the care I need. Not to mention, the owner has a photography studio and asked me if I had a senior daughter who needs her pictures done. Why ask for a specific sex? That is predatory. The doctor and PT that I see believe I have a tear in my rotary cuff, but they can't properly treat me until they get an MRI. But Jim, the site owner of the Mentor location, is not corporating.
