When I was seeking a new role I met with Diana who took the time to really get to know me and my specific qualifications. Down the line the owner, Sarah, reached out with my dream role. Which I'm happily still at today! This showed me that every member of the Washburn team is deeply invested in finding families and nannies a perfect match.

The Washburn agency is AMAZING! As a former nanny, household manager, and personal assistant, I…read morehave been placed with many wonderful families through this agency. Sarah and Diana really strive to make sure everyone is matched appropriately, and they have been super supportive if any issues occurred. I always got the sense that they truly cared about both the clients and the staff they were placing. I highly recommend this agency to any family seeking top quality domestic staff, and to any staff seeking a top notch family! The Washburn Agency is the BEST!

i never updated this, but after I wrote this review, the 2 people I spoke not too highly of both…read morejoined yelp to contact me and basically insult me. Mostly the guy. You can go to my page and see what he said under compliments. Actually, no, I will just cut and paste it here. "Seriously kid? You bash staffing agencies? I didn't help you because you sucked! I placed an average of 20 candidates a week in jobs; the reason why I couldn't help you is because you are probably a very immature person with no experience! Honestly I don't even remember you and you know why? It's because you suck you are a little punk ass kid! I should write an April P review here about how horrible of a candidate you were. I help a lot of smart people but not the stupid ones like you. I feel really bad for the other agencies that tried to help you or actually had to use you for one of their jobs. You probably represented them in a very poor way. You should also really spend more time concentrating on a career rather then blogging about people and business you don't like. I'm glad I found this blog and I am really glad I didn't use you to represent me. Grow up and get a clue!!" So yeah, that was the level of professionalism that Boylston Staffing hired. I've since found a great job, which I left to go back to school and get my masters. So I really don't think I am the immature one.

Don't even waste your time. Kathleen is most likely the…read moreagent you will speak with. They RUSH you in the door, and don't listen to ANYTHING you are saying. Unemployment rates are high, so I'm sure they get the same kind of applicants in excess daily, but omg do they ever treat you like a number here, rather than a person. For my interview with BS I arrived early, but they were not ready to even acknowledge my existence until almost 30 mins past my scheduled time. (Considering there is nowhere to park other than the Prudential parking garage, this would concern anyone unemployed.) Once I was finally seen, my interview lasted all of 8 mins. I don't even think she looked at my resume. Of course its an agency, and you have to fill out numerous applications and forms, however I've never heard of the following: Kathleen is busy rushing me through signing and dating all the forms, meanwhile not listening to a damn thing I was TRYING to tell her about my skills and what I was looking for. I thought I was almost done, and then she pulls yet another form from thin air, asks me if I've been collecting unemployment. I replied yes, for about 2 months. She then shoved this form in my face, asked me to sign it without any explanation, and wen I asked what the hell I was signing, she curtly responded that the government will give her a monetary kickback for recruiting me since I've been collecting unemployment. Put the most sour taste in my mouth. So folks, if you just want to be another commission for these idiots that NEVER CALL BACK, be my guest. At least you can dip through Lord and Taylor on your way out, and buy a little black dress that will most certainly bring more financial gain to your future than Boylston Staffing

Since 2008, I have been working for a family I was connected with through Cass and Company…read more Throughout my experience, Sarah and her team went above and beyond to be attentive to not only my needs but the families I work for as well. They are exceptionally professional, thorough, and considerate. Today, I work as a family assistant for two families all through Cass and Company. My experience has come full-circle, as I now use Cass and Company for hiring my own employees. When working with them, I know I am getting the best of the best that I can trust fully not only for me, but for the families I work for too.

Very unprofessional when it comes to the nanny agency. Sara would send me emails about jobs, then I…read morewould reply saying that I'm interested because she's sending me them and then she doesn't reply. I've reached out three times with an updated resume and followed up and nothing. The least they can do is reply if she's no longer interested. AND she still sends me jobs, take me off the list if your going to ignore me.

My experience working with this agency was top-notch. Daley and associates is the real deal…read more Angela Fagin is, hands down, the best recruiter I've ever worked with. She helped me land my dream job at a competitive PE firm in Boston in an incredibly tough labor market with a company known for a very rigorous interview and hiring process, and without her guidance, support, coaching, professionalism, optimism, and help navigating the process, I honestly don't think I would have gotten there. Under Angela's guidance, I was able to land a role in a completely new sub-industry sector of finance, one that is historically very hard to break into without past experience. Angela spotted my potential and was able to sell me. What truly sets Angela apart is how genuinely invested she is in the people she places and her long-term commitment to finding the right fit. She stuck with me through major life changes, including having a baby and even turning down the first role I was offered, and months later came back with the right opportunity, patiently waiting until the timing made sense. She believed in me from the very beginning and was thoughtful and intentional every step of the way. Angela also coached me through a challenging departure from my previous company and helped transition me into my new role seamlessly, while still keeping my new employer confident and supported. She understands the delicate balance recruiters must walk to keep both candidates and employers aligned, communicating openly, and moving forward without friction. She helped me navigate difficult conversations, negotiate what I needed, and ask tough questions that are often considered taboo, all without creating red flags. Because of her transparency, care, and ability to handle difficult personalities and unexpected blockers, I felt informed, supported, and confident throughout the entire process. I would work with Angela again in a heartbeat and recommend her without hesitation. She has a rare ability to find the right "sweet spot" for each candidate, highlight their strengths, and thoughtfully address any concerns along the way. She is truly exceptional.

My experience with Signature Staffing was mixed. There is one lady running the whole show, so…read moreshe's fairly busy. It is difficult getting in touch with her and when you do see her, she doesn't spend much time with you. Which basically means she has a "perfect opportunity" for you that just showed up on her desk, yet she doesn't know what kind of job you want. I do have to give her props since she did give me my current job (a temp-to-hire position), but not without struggle first. She sent me to an interview with Beth Israel's Liver Center. After the interview, I explained to her I wasn't interested in working with patients and I also went into how I had another interview with another company and wanted to see how that played out. She got mad at me for not telling her about the other interview and went on to tell me if I didn't take this job, I'd never get one because I was competing with Harvard and MIT students. She also said something about how most people don't have the luxury to wait around for another job (I didn't either, but I also didn't want to be miserable). Finally, after quite a few trips to her office, she asked what I wanted (or at least I was given 5 minutes to finally tell her what I was looking for) and then I ended where I am today. If you can, try to wedge in what job you want to begin with. She might have the job, just not the 5 minutes to listen to what it is you want unless you come right out with it.
