Green Key LLC Staffing Professionals on Research Boulevard is a wonderful company. I have worked…read morewith several temp agencies and I was always made to feel like a number and just a paycheck to those who were placing me. I chose to stay with Green Key because of one of their employees names Erika Silvey. SHE IS THE BEST. She cares about you, talks to you like a friend and finds jobs that she believes will be a fit for you both skill and personality-wise. She has found me one job that went permanent do to an excellent placement. Due to unfortunate circumstances, I had to leave that job so I turned to Erika again for help. Now, I am at another job which I love and fit in real well. If you choose to go to Green Key, I highly recommend Erika Silvey. Her work number is 301-584-3194. PS...I NEVER write reviews...but I just had to spread the word about Green Key and Erika Silvey. Kimberly

Cross-posting my review because my recruiter deserves more than one 5-Star review:…read moreI came to Green Key Resources with 2 years prior experience as a temp. I had contacted 7 local temp agencies, 4 didn't reply at all, 1 called me in for an interview then never contacted me again, and one set up a phone interview and then stopped communicating altogether. My Green Key recruiter, Erika Silvey, called me in for an interview right away. The interview was quite long and very thorough and by the end I felt like she had gotten to know me and what I bring to the table as far as my skills/experience/personality. Right away she got me a temp job at a management consulting firm that I was able to walk to. Her communication was excellent, from the first day to the last I felt like I could contact her with any questions or concerns I might have. I found the Green Key app very easy to use, and I preferred entering/submitting the hours I had worked on my phone, rather than filling in a piece of paper, getting a manager to sign it, faxing it to the agency, etc. After that first job ended, she said "I know you're looking for something full-time, but for now would you be interested in another temporary position until we find something permanent?". I really appreciated the acknowledgement that I was not interested in being a temp for 2 years (again). She also provided me with very constructive feedback on my resume and what she expected as far as updating it as I ended one assignment and began another. Fast forward ~1 month, quite happy to be working again (and making 50% more than the last temp agency paid!), and after 1 job interview she set up that went well but ultimately was not for me (they were afraid my commute would be too long), Erika had me placed at a local financial institution that ended up hiring me. She gave me good, practical advice as far as negotiating my salary and other hurdles as a potential new hire. Pay, benefits, growth potential, fit, and just overall job satisfaction are the best I've ever had and I would not have this great new career were it not for Erika Silvey @ Green Key Resources. 10/10, have recommended this agency/recruiter to many friends/family.

54 minutes ago NEW…read moreTerrible agency! I had an interview for a help desk job through the Sparks Group Agency. About a week later I was told that I was hired for the position. But Sparks group never sent me an offer letter confirming my start date, time or where to report for work. They contacted me the following Monday saying I had not reported to work then today they sent me an email saying I had been terminated from the agency for pulling out of an assignment and not showing up for the job. I tried to contact them numerous times prior to find out when my start date was... never heard back from them.. How is one supposed to report to a job without having the address, start date, or start time? Although the lady who I spoke her over the phone was nice, this situation was very unprofessional. They are not attentive and do not have good communication. I would not recommend this agency to anyone looking for employment. They seem to mostly only offer temporary positions for $17.25 an hour which really is not a living wage! Good riddance!

A recruiter reached out to me during quarantine regarding available positions at local pharma…read morecompanies. Twice a week she would call me with updates, usually very redundant about how the "manager" was going to send my resume over or make a call. I don't know that he or she ever did their part. Suddenly, I am no longer getting calls and no one is answering my calls even when voicemails are left. If I'm not fit for the position then have the decency to inform me ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU REACHED OUT TO ME during a pandemic. A couple weeks later, a different recruiter called me and warned me that the Rockville office is known for this behavior. Needless to say, I will NEVER consider using Aerotek as a staffing agency.

I called this agency from Montgomery County HHS, requesting information on a mutual client. I was…read moretold someone would call & get back to me with the information I requested. 24 hrs later and no one called me back. I called again the next day and was told to contact another dept. I asked why this information was not provided when I originally called (from a government/county agency), and was told she could not speak on the behalf of someone else. I was given a secondary number to call and a code to use. I said thank you and was hung up on. Here's a customer service tip. The second representative I spoke to on day two should have said, "I'm sorry no one got back to you yesterday, I'll find out who you spoke with and make sure they are aware of our process and procedures so this doesn't happen again. Unfortunately we are unable to provide the information you are requesting, but you can call this dept and they will be happy to help you and answer your question". AND WHEN SOMEONE SAYS THANK YOU, YOU SAY "YOUR WELCOME". You can even add have a nice day/weekend.

Simply the best! I reached out to YES career coaching…read morebecause I was feeling stuck and ready for a change in my work. My resume was OK, but I wanted to put my best foot forward. The team did a fantastic job on rewriting my resume, cover letter and LinkedIn profile. I ended up applying to a handful of jobs and got an interview immediately. What ended up happening though is that during the resume rewriting process, I developed this newfound confidence in my work that I never had before and I was going to go after what I wanted to do. I started to network with people that I knew in my area at different companies and ended up with an opportunity that was a perfect fit for me. Since I was a referral, the management team was not too focused on my resume but I ended up getting the job! I am thrilled to start this next chapter of my career and I have to thank YES career coaching for guiding me to see the light I had inside of me so that I can show up and be the best version of myself. Highly recommend!!

Wonderful service and great resume tips!

My 30 min consultation with Katherine was really helpful! I learned formatting tips and ways to beef up my resume by adding a header, summary, and core competencies and creating sectional dividers. She recommended outcome-based bullet points that highlight the benefits and quantify the results rather than a laundry list of tasks. Katherine was friendly and thorough and even had enough time to quickly proofread my hubby's resume. It was really nice to get an extra set of eyes! While the $299 starter package seems a bit pricey, it's a good deal considering that you are equipped with the A team of an interviewer, drafter, and editor. They will rewrite your resume and can fine tune and belt out those bullet points. While my resume could use a few tweaks, the starter package is a great option if you're looking for a resume overhaul without doing all the guess work. I found the resume consultation surprisingly useful. Would highly recommend it and consider the packages!
