I received no reply to any of my follow ups, even after applying to several positions on their website. The app they "offer" is also not user friendly. It does not track any jobs you apply to. My status was also never updated past the interview step on the app. Might only be good for tracking hours worked. Waste of time overall.

Recruiters leave their position, giving you no one to reach out to for questions. Onboarding team is extremely rude, the whole onboarding process was painful and hard to get through. Timecards are hard to get approved, they will say "you were suppose to work this amount of hours" and reject it if it's over. (Like how are you going to reject my hours when I have proof from the hospital?) The only reason I haven't cancelled my contract is because it is for my hometown hospital and I do not want to ruin my professional relationships with them. DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS TRAVEL COMPANY.

I was introduced to Ceres Talent by a friend/colleague when I was about to be between contract gigs…read moreabout 4 years ago. As a always-willing networker, I happily connected with them but with expectations that they'd be like any other staffing agency. I quickly realized I was wrong and continue to sing their praises whenever possible. Sue & Kathy (managing partners) bring a personal touch that is unmatched in my experience. I've now worked with them as a contractor, as a client, and as a (contract) employee and can confirm that everyone is treated with equal importance and attention. You can't do better than Ceres Talent!

I signed up with Manpower around 2010 when I was looking for work after graduating college and…read moreworking some internships and entry-level jobs. I submitted a résumé, which listed my college degree and prior work experience, and completed a thorough inventory of my skillset. They only ever offered me two assignments; one where I waved a sign on the side of the road for $10/hour, and another where they woke me up at like 6am on a day I wasn't expecting to work, to ask if I could move some tables around that day for a client of theirs (also for $10/hour). Not sure if it was ineptitude on their part, or they really just didn't have much work for college graduates at the time, but they really weren't much help.

When I first came to Manpower, they were very nice to me and very helpful. They gave me…read morerecommendations on my resume and told me they would send me job recommendations based on my skill set. For the record, I have a Bachelor's degree and have worked in administration before. Unfortunately, the jobs that they sent me were jobs that I was overqualified for and not what I wanted to be doing. Desperate, I ended up taking this overnight job as a technician. The job was brutal on me and had been affecting my health. I explained this to Manpower and asked them to be placed somewhere else. They said whenever they found something, they'd let me know. Weeks went by and I kept being ignored by them. I finally let them know that I HAD to leave this job and they have yet to reach out to me about anything. Very poor communication and no relationships. The first meeting I had showed a lot of promise, which was very disappointing.

I've been working with Layla through the hiring agency for almost a year now, and every interaction…read morehas been meaningful and informative. She has a true talent for pairing candidates with companies based not just on skills and experience, but also personality and work ethic. Layla's approach is welcoming, passionate, and genuinely warm. She really listens--both to what the employer is looking for and what the candidate needs--and takes the extra steps to make sure it's the right fit for both sides. That level of care makes a huge difference. It's been a pleasure working with her, and I'm hopeful to transition from a temporary role into a long-term position with her continued support.

Warning: Exploitative, Unethical Practices and No Accountability…read more Avoid this agency at all costs. As an experienced professional with a master's degree, I was subjected to the most exploitative, dehumanizing, and financially damaging nightmare of my career. This agency prioritizes commissions over the dignity and security of the candidates they claim to represent. If they could create such a disastrous placement for me, then they can do this to entry-level candidates with far less protection. The recruiter, Charitha, paired me with a CEO who had already terminated and disparaged a prior candidate. Instead of vetting this client with basic professional judgment, she aligned herself with him, using high-pressure tactics to secure a spontaneous commitment from me over the phone. Charitha even pressured me for a 5-star review before my contract began, which explains their inflated 4.8 star rating. This manufactured feedback scam prioritizes fake optics over actual results. The narcopath CEO demanded "loyalty" and long-term commitment, while using me as a temporary placeholder as he secured the return of a former employee. Based on this fraudulent inducement, I turned down a serious opportunity with an IP firm. The CEO--who neglected onboarding, refused to introduce me to staff, and left me idling--then terminated my contract within the first week. He admitted that he "lacked the operational structure and resources to onboard a new hire." He delivered the termination with a disturbing smile, calling it "exciting news" for him. Contemptuous and Condescending Culture This agency uses the most condescending, aggressively micromanaging, and infantilizing language I have ever seen. They treat experienced professionals like unruly high school interns with no common sense. Most embarrassing is their "Leaving the Nest" podcast that they encourage you to listen to on the way to interviews. During my placement, I was subjected to illegal and unethical behaviors: Illegal inquiries: The CEO explicitly asked my age, while acknowledging that doing so was "inappropriate and illegal." His demeanor became hostile after learning that I was older than he expected. Data and privacy breaches: I was given access to prior employee emails without any security protocols. I was expected to operate under the full name of the employee who was coming back to replace me, whose signature was never removed. The full name of the employee who had been terminated before me--whom this CEO repeatedly disparaged, including outlining the reasons for their termination--was also available to me. I have never seen such egregious data privacy and confidentiality violations, and I am confident that my own information is now similarly exposed in their system. Unprofessionalism and disrespect: The CEO used derogatory language (including the b-word) during the interview and refused to reimburse agreed-upon parking expenses at termination: another petty power move layered on top of the discard. ROCS's Response -- Deflection and Zero Accountability: When I reported these serious concerns, ROCS abandoned me. They immediately shifted into corporate deflection mode to protect their liability, offering no condemnation of the employer's actions and no remedy for the situation. Charitha offered zero apology, and repeatedly tried to avoid a written record by pushing me for a phone call. The agency refused to pay me for weeks following my termination. Tom Moore, their co-founder, offered basic parking reimbursement and a perfunctory "sorry to hear about your job; that's unfortunate how that ended." Bottom Line ROCS is a bloodless, transactional agency that treats professionals as disposable assets. There is a reason they target young professionals and recent grads: no mid-level or experienced professionals would tolerate this level of malpractice, contempt for candidates, and complete absence of accountability. I have reported the employer for his legal and ethical violations. If you care about your professional and financial wellbeing, avoid these predators.

Good morning,…read more Everybody's experience may be different and better but I'll rate mines a 3/10. I was helped with employment and in my contract it was six months to hire from temp to permanent with the company I would be employed with. When informing Maham and Quadrant of this they both informed it was nothing they could do and to wait it but my contract said different. I don't think they valued my time or communicated properly with my management. They would have me communicate things they should have communicated to my manager. After one year and four weeks I was made permanent with my employer without the help of Quadrant. Quadrant once again did not communicate with me at all or the best with me. There were multiple issues more than once I had to handle without the help of Quadrant. If you are looking for employment as soon as possible I would recommend but I unfortunately would not work with Quadrant again I would probably find employment myself like I have previously or go through another temp agency.
