I've been working with Layla through the hiring agency for almost a year now, and every interaction has 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. read more

Warning: Exploitative, Unethical Practices and No Accountability 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. read more

Amazing experience. I worked with Layla and she was more than helpful. She was encouraging, thoughtful, and well experienced in the process she helped me through. I highly recommend anyone graduating university to consider ROCS. read more

I went through multiple interviews with ROCS. After being told I was a "great fit," I heard nothing -- just crickets. Then I got blocked on LinkedIn for following up. Classy. If you're expecting mutual respect and transparency, don't. They ghost faster than a bad Tinder date. ROCS Staffing gives big "we care" energy online -- until you ask for feedback or clarity. Then they go silent, or block you. Shoutout to Tom Moore and Sage for redefining what "gatekeeping" means in staffing. Not sure how they win awards -- must be participation trophies. Their recruiters talk a big game about professionalism and strong communication, but don't expect the same in return. Interviews seem more like a numbers game than actual placements. I got blocked for politely following up. That pretty much sums it up. I've never met a staffing agency so defensive. One of my friends got blocked on LinkedIn after asking a recruiter why they were rejected. No real answers, just ego and attitude. If you criticize their process or ask questions, you're done. Very odd energy. Interviewed, ghosted, blocked. ROCS expects top-tier communication and professionalism from candidates, but they don't even offer basic follow-up. Sage and Tom Moore have perfected the art of fake courtesy and quiet rejection. Don't waste your time. You'd think a modern staffing firm would prioritize inclusivity and fair access. Not ROCS. My friend was rejected with no explanation, then blocked after asking for feedback. The culture seems white-washed, cold, and corporate to the bone. The awards don't match the reality. ROCS Staffing is the HR version of gaslighting. Fake smiles, fake support, and fake job openings. Once they collect your resume, it's all downhill -- unless you fit their perfect mold. Otherwise? Ghosted. Or blocked. Or both. Something seems off at ROCS. They interview great people, then never follow up. I know several folks who were told they weren't a fit -- but never told why. And when one of them asked politely? Blocked. That's not staffing. That's just shady. Warning to job seekers: ROCS Staffing is not what it looks like. Interviews lead nowhere. Communication is one-sided. If you speak up or ask for feedback, you'll probably get blocked. I've seen it happen more than once. Be careful who you trust with your career. ROCS is polished on the outside and petty on the inside. Blocked for asking questions. Ignored after interviews. Treated like a number. But hey -- they have awards, right? read more

Emmanuel is the best! I would totally recommend to go through ROCS after college. They made sure I was on top of everything that needed to be done and make the process really easy and smooth. read more

I had an amazing experience working with Maria Wellmann and the ROCS grad staffing company! I was a recent college graduate and 11 months into my job search when I first got connected with ROCS through Handshake. Maria was amazing!! She worked diligently and effectively in understanding my job needs, sending job opportunities, and supporting me throughout the interview process. We worked together for about 6 months. During that time, she stayed in communication with me by checking in on my search weekly and ensuring my needs were met. Maria connected me with countless job opportunities and I'm so grateful that I gained an employment opportunity with her assistance. I'm so appreciative to have crossed paths with Maria & ROCS!! They were extremely supportive throughout my entire job search and I will definitely refer their services to everyone I know! Thanks ROCS & Maria!! -Queen Bayard read more

They will get you a job, but if you are not happy with the job, they put you at, they will not help you get another job. Been in good Rapport with ROCS Staffing and recruiters give you the runaround. You get position and do not like job you apply to another position with same title and say they can't do anything to help you out. I would of appreciate it if Ana and Connor told that in the first place so I can patiently wait for right position and strike while the iron is hot, but alas. read more

Found them, or they found me rather, through a shady LinkedIn job listing that didn't advertise as being through them. I was then offered a job that sounded interesting, but was nowhere near what I was looking for. After nearly 2 weeks of radio silence I was told I had an interview with that same job 5 days out and that my recruiter would contact me again in 3 days to prep for the interview, but was instead completely ghosted. Shady, lazy, garbage org. read more

So I will never use them again and if anything I want them to stay away from me. I feel pretty terrible after the whole experience. I had tried to use them like 4 years ago and it was not a good experience but I thought this time would be better and since I had better work experience and is almost done with my college degree. I applied for a job and a newer recruiter called me and in the beginning everything was fine. They even checked on me to make sure what happened last time I was with them wouldn't happen again or if I was comfortable with working with them again so I appreciated that. But then red flags came up. The first was the credit check they gave me. Nothing that I was doing on the contract that I was gonna be on required a credit check. My background is in finance and government contracting and they didn't even require a credit check and if they did it would make sense and if they did do a credit check obviously it went fine. According to the person who interviewed me (my future manager) and the job description that was sent over to me by my recruiter what I would specifically be doing in the company would not require one. I did consent to it but once I thought things over it seemed like an invasion of my privacy. I was asked if there were any concerns with my credit check that should be aware of and I said my student loans and credit cards because those seemed valid to a company that I would think would be acceptable to be concerned about. I had one thing on there that was they were concerned about. not even big bill it was a medical bill due to a chronic illnesses I have. They cared more about how I will start paying it than why it was on there or even being understanding. A contract that was not even temp to hire and only 4 months and for a job that I did not have to have a credit check for. I was told that they give all employees and contractors credit checks. Why would you give someone a credit check if their job does not require it and how the credit check went it seemed more like they made stuff personal and nit picky than ethical and professional. The person who interviewed me was late for my interview not very late but I often wondered if I was late would she or even ROCS would understand. She told me in the interview that contractors have to be in office 5 days a weeks but regular employees can work from home 3 days of the week. I think that is unfair and shows the divide they have between the contractors and employees of that company's it's not even working from home it's the principle behind it. The last thing it took 3 weeks for my everything to come back and for Me to get a start day, background, drug test, credit check for a basic customer service position. There was more to that I'm not stupid and it did not make me feel good. Plus my recruiter had told me one week my background and credit check had came back and then the next week she said they had issues verifying my education. What are you talking about so either she lied to me or does not know how a background check works or as I said there is more to it and she just didn't know how to hide it from me. I told Rocs to leave me alone and never contact me again. I think what they do helping college grads or almost college grads find jobs is Noble and a smart concept and idea but I think at the end of the day they think more about themselves and the clients they work for and not the people they are getting to work these jobs which makes no sense. I've never felt so disrespected and disgusted by a staffing agency as I do with ROCS. read more

I applied for a job on indeed.com that was apparently through Rocs (The ad did not state this at all.) I graduated college several years ago so I am a bit miffed as to why they would take me on? I am not bothered by people politely declining because I am not the target demographic. I got a get to know what you are looking for interview. That is fine. But then, later on, another recruiter was taking me on and she wanted a video interview. The problem is, during the said 'interview' she pretty much said she did not want to waste my time, and just verify everything I had told the other recruiters. Why the hell did you literally waste my time preparing for an actual video interview when you could have just called me or emailed me? I was very annoyed and angry. Please do not waste people's time. Getting ready for a video interview takes time, phone calls and emails are much less stressful and a better method of communicating for verifying a few things. I really do not like this place. Do not recommend. Also the jobs they sent me, the salaries were low for me. And please put your company name on ALL of your Indeed.com job postings!! read more

I sincerely wish I could give this place a better review, but I don't want anyone suffering the same problem as I have. My recruiter, Pete, seemed more like a terrifyingly high pressure salesman who got easily upset for every little thing. And I mean EVERY little thing. This guy cared more about making a sale than anything else. I mean he was forcing these immensely low-paying, almost odd-jobs down my throat so bad, I simply couldn't say "no" to him without getting an earful of rude, snarky, and pressuring comments such as "I really don't understand what you mean, why aren't you taking this job?" He drove me insane, and I honestly felt relieved when he finally hung up the phone. The companies ROCS clients out to aren't NEARLY as "high profile" as he makes it seem, not by a long shot. Any roles that actually interested me, fit my skill set, and relevant to what I wanted and could do would either be somehow out of my qualifications, taken care of elsewhere, or "not the right role for me". What? I'm surprised as to where these 5-star reviews are coming from. I wish I had that experience, but sadly, me and anyone I know will keep Pete and this company far away. I hope this company finds success and I wish it the best, but I think it's important to share my criticism so the company, and my recruiter, can learn and grow from its mistakes. As I'm writing this, I really hope it was just this one specific recruiter and not ROCS as a whole. read more

I want to share my disdain for this company, if you can even call it a company. I have tried more than FOUR times with them! they never returned my phone calls, and in the comments they stated "we tried calling you" when they never did. They do NOT want to help you! They either pick and choose on whom they help just to keep ratings. Just cause I wrote a bad review exposing how fraudulent of a company they are, they are reluctant to help me. I think I had my final straw when Tom Moore (alleged owner) was unwilling to help me, I sent over my Resume and he asked if I am still working at my current company, well no s**t Sherlock, of course I am, just READ the resume. Then when I did ALL of the work for them by just sending over the list of jobs that I KNOW I would qualify for, because I am doing the work FOR the Recruiter, I am basically spoon feeding them easy money, since the recruiter takes a commission, I get a "you are not qualified for this position" like what about the OTHER jobs I had sent to you? All I get are no's and the door slammed into my face! I am struggling to find work, I have a Bachelors Degree and I want to make money, but to no avail. I feel like these Recruiters get paid on how many people they talk to on the phone per day, and the comments about this company are all FALSE and LIES! they do not want to help you. I keep getting interviewed by the Recruiters who call me, yet I get no answers back on jobs that they recommend me for (there's a shock) I will make it someday and be even more successful than those Clowns. I really hope this company closes for good! Good day! read more

Don't bother. Any other recruitment agency in the area will be more than willing to help. These guys? Nope. I didn't show up to a "formal" first interview to talk about my resume because my dad ended up being admitted to the hospital and later that week passed away. This was in November 2018!!! I called them several times after and they hung up my calls. I then formally emailed them this week (MARCH 2020) and Mr Brandon Labman informed me that since I missed the "interview" in November 2018 that they refuse to move forward. WOW. First of all the "interview" was more of an In person first meeting to discuss my resume. It was not a formal interview. Nor did the employee bother calling me when i missed the interview to ask!! If he had, I would have told him the family emergency I'm going through. They're TERRIBLE human beings who pick and choose who to help. Why would you want such exclusive people to help? Go to sparks or Randstad. Do not go here read more

If you look closely at the reviews on google, as well as those on this very site, you'll see that every single positive review has a very specific wording to it. This is because (I speculate) ROCS requires that people who accept their job offers to write a glowingly positive, 5 star (must be 5 stars) review, or else the job offer is rescinded. Obviously, those who are desperate for a job will write a great review if it means they'll get employed, but those positive reviews do not reflect AT ALL what you will experience with this company. They are lazy, slow to respond, and generally give a vibe of arrogant indifference to their clients; in the 4 months I job searched with ROCS, I had two jobs found for me and one interview. Only the job I interviewed for had anything remotely to do with my resume or skill set. Do not work with this company. They are focused on processing you through their system and securing a commission check for themselves as fast as possible, nothing more than that. They don't care about you, and they will happily put you in a toxic work environment, with horrible hours and low pay, if it means they get paid. Their contrived and scripted (and therefor fake) google reviews are nothing like how they ACTUALLY are to work with. read more

I am editing my review because I don't want to be accused of giving a fake review. I don't understand the good reviews and lack of bad ones, because I can't believe no one shares my experience. I was offered the chance to apply for a specific job after meeting with ROCS during an in-person interview, which followed a phone screening with a specific recruiter. I took time off of my hourly job for both of these, and traveled to their location with plenty of time to spare in anticipation of any traffic so I would not be subjected to their "1 minute rule" as it was stated on the email sent to me. The advertised job that I initially applied for, and what I was offered was bait and switch. I did wind up applying after being told I would be a good fit, because I need a salaried job. However, It's been over a month since the process began and trying to get any response from ROCS has been like pulling teeth. I have emailed multiple times and even called. Everyone there seems nice, yet they left me hanging and refuse to follow up. A simple "the job isn't available" or "we were told they might take more time to review applicants" would suffice. I have checked the website and the job I applied for is now gone, so clearly there must be some sort of update they can give me? Ignoring my emails is just plain rude and unprofessional. Job hunting is stressful enough and these recruiters have proven themselves to me that they don't stand out from the other agencies that people often complain about doing the same exact thing. I don't know how this agency works, but I hate to think I lost money on time off of my hourly job and paying tolls to travel for this "interview" was only so a recruiter could get my contact info on record or meet some sort of quota. Actually, if that's so, that's completely messed up. read more

I have been invited on various occasions to interview through ROCS, but the interview is always canceled at the last minute. Even after getting reminders early in the morning on the schedule date of said interview. read more

I previously posted a review for ROCS but deleted it only because they literally called me about 15 minutes after I posted it and wanted to know why I posted a negative review, so I took it down because at the time, ROCS was the best shot I had at getting a job. I will not be deleting this post this time. I do not mean to be rude, but truly think it's important to share my experience and hopefully save others time from having to deal with the same kind of nonsense. I have tried using ROCS for the past few months to try and find a job post graduation and honestly I really can't find a positive experience to share. It's upsetting because a lot of the reviews online are really positive. I don't know if it's the whole company or just the person assigned to me, but Kyle was not helpful. I've sent him multiple job openings in the past month and pretty much everything I send him he told me that I am not a good fit for or unqualified for the job. I need to make note that a lot of these jobs I'm talking about have been receptionist type jobs that pay average no more than $13/hr. I am more than qualified to work a job that pays $11-13/hr and I have a college degree. Honestly it never seemed like Kyle cared much about what I was interested in and didn't really ever send me job postings. I have sent him multiple job openings I saw and they lead to dead ends or sometimes he'd flat out tell me no. After I posted the negative review, I emailed Kyle asking to be removed from their services and explained how I felt and did not wish to use ROCS anymore. Kyle suddenly got really nice and helpful and told me about a job opening and how much he wanted to help me. I applied for it and of course it led nowhere. Bonus! Guess what job it was! A receptionist job that paid 11/hr! Honestly if you are looking for a job, don't use ROCS and certainly don't use Kyle. It's pretty upsetting to be working with a company and a certain individual in hopes of getting a job, and have them not listen to your wishes, goals, strengths, etc. The mere fact that Kyle seemed to undermine my abilities, intelligence, and worth should be enough to steer you clear of this place. Honestly, if you had a college degree, would you be ok with taking a job that pays $11/hr? I made more than that working at a grocery store part time in college. How can someone even be expected to live off that type of money in an area like Fairfax? I eventually decided that using ROCS was not worth my time. I ended up going to a different staffing agency and within the first day of submitting an application someone called me and had a pretty lenghtly disussion with me about my career goals, salary wishes, general interests and the very next day they contacted me again with a job they thought I'd be a good fit for. read more

I worked with Rocs from May 2017-January 2018. Kathleen was my recruiter, and she put me in touch a great company, which I came to absolutely love. Rocs was great with setting standards for me before stepping into the interview process for the position I applied for. Kathleen even updated me in the early months with tons of feedback. I found out I was pregnant in June, and both companies were really great with working with me. The office I was at threw me a baby shower, and Rocs surprised me with a cake too! I've never known a recruiter to do that! I would still be working if it weren't for my pregnancy complications. When I'm ready to come back to the workforce, I know Rocs will be an option! Thanks again for everything, Kathleen and Rocs!!! read more

Absolute garbage company. I job searched with them for about 5 months, and I only received 2 job suggestions, of which only one applied to my skill set. The recruiters were all rude and shockingly unprofessional. I am now gainfully employed by my own job searching and hard work, absolutely no thanks or credit to ROCS. Honestly, I'm so glad I found my current position myself, instead of being shackled to whatever awful job ROCS was able to scrape up. You can find much, much better help elsewhere, do not waste your time with this company. read more

Jackie Trabosh has been incredible to work with! She has been helping me since the time I have applied for ROCS. At first it was a little discouraging because we would find something, and then find out the job position would be taken. That never stopped Jackie in finding me a position. Although it took some time, because of ROCS and Jackie especially, it found the place for me! After hearing no a couple of times, we eventually got a yes! Her communication has been amazing and she always replies right away no matter what questions I have. I love the company I work for, and I am so happy where I ended up working! Everyone has been so helpful in making me feel comfortable in a new environment. Thanks again Jackie along with ROCS read more

Ok, so after applying I received a phone call this call was more like a screening call where I was supposed to answer questions given by the person on the other line. All went well, but what is next? I am still waiting to hear back after 2 months. Mind you the girl talking to me had such a low voice that I could not even hear here. I was told the information will be passed on to the supervisor and will set up an interview with me. Nothing yet. I am going to be surprised if they will call me back after 2 months. The position is still available online on the website. I wish that these recruiting firms were more eager to help rather than sitting on piles of resume. I am sure that this place is run by a young staff that is not very keen on helping those many job seekers. I wish and hope in near future they can do a better job of updating job seekers. read more

ROCS is an amazing staffing company. Robert helped me every step of the way and was friendly from the very first interview, which helped me feel comfortable moving forward with the company's recruitment process. I got hired by the first company I interviewed with and I'm so excited to start my new career in the nonprofit sector! I'll be doing exactly what I want to do and I couldn't have gotten here without the incredible ROCS team. read more

Kyle was a great help, kept me informed with every step of the way, and he really made sure that I would be the best candidate for the position that I applied to read more

I would love to thank Kyle Hart, my amazing recruiter for finding me my dream job. He helped keep me informed throughout the entire process and gave me very insightful tips. I have just completed my first week of work at an amazing company and couldn't be happier. Kyle is hands down the best recruiter I have ever worked with. Thank you Kyle and to the ROCS team. I will be sure to send those looking for an exciting career your way. Sincerely, Beth M. read more

Finding the job that fit me best took some time, but after 5-6 months, I was able to find a job aligned to what I've been searching for. Kyle was extremely helpful and kept me well informed during the whole process. The only thing I don't like is that he guaranteed and promised me that I would be hired on permanently within 3 months-- which is not true. It's based on the contract agreement between the staffing agency and the company itself. I was upset to find that out after leaving a job to accept a pay cut for my career starter. For someone who is just starting out and entering the job force-- definitely recommend using them. Gives you the ability to build yourself and get your foot in the door. For someone who has experience and expectations-- this might not be the right source for you. read more

So I had an interview with ROCS in January and at the interview the two people were so interested in me and enthusiastic so I felt like this would be a great staffing agency for me. However it has been radio silence since then. I never heard back from the guy who was supposed to be my go to person. No follow up calls or email, no job placements, not even a hey are you alive. So for anyone looking for temp work I would highly suggest you stay away from ROCS. read more

I went through ROCS about a year after graduation and Jessica was my recruiter. She helped me the whole way through the process and was extremely professional and knowledgable. She's always in communication with you and will call you if an opportunity arises. They set me up with a company within a few weeks for an interview and became FTE after 3 months. I have given Jessica a few referrals afterwards and have told many people about ROCS. I would recommend to anyone who is entry level to go through ROCS! read more

ROC is the best place to go right after college to find a job. They are AMAZING!!!! I just finished college and needed to find a job, and it is hard. FINALY I stumbled in Rocs where the employed were extremely helpful and kind. I was helped by Kathleen. She helped look for a job, and every time there was an opening for something she will alway email me and call me to let me know. Sometimes I lost hope in finding a job, but she will always give me that hope back everyone she called or emailed. Now I am waiting for a permanent position at an incredible job, but for the meantime the ROC has found me a temporary job. If you need that little hope I did in this crazy market the ROC IS THE BEST PLACE TO GO. read more

ROCS has been really great! I was nervous moving to a new state and finding a job right after college, with no real connections in the area. The process took awhile, but Kathleen was always asking for updates and keeping me in the loop. I could tell she was continuously working to finding me a good fitting job! I finally got a job working at a great company that I connected with right away. Only downside would be I haven't really heard much from the company asking if I still like it at my current job, so I'm not quite sure what would happen if I didn't really like it.. But overall, definitely a great staffing agency! read more

I found ROCS through a banner-ad on a resume creation website. I submitted my application and forgot about it; roughly a month later I received a call asking me to come in for an interview. I met with Kyle, who did a great job interviewing me on a technical and social level, and within less than a week from that initial interview I was called in for another interview at a DC company and offered to start working the next day. I personally had a great experience with ROCS, I like all the people I met there and my hiring process was shockingly fast after they met me. What I dislike about ROCS is that, at least in my experience, they can be unresponsive at times. What I mean by this is that I've been submitting time-sheets to them for two weeks and I haven't heard any kind of confirmation or indication that they're receiving anything from me. I've emailed them specific questions multiple different times only to receive unrelated responses (if they respond at all) that seemed directly copy/pasted from templates. That being said, these issues have only been over online communications and I've had no trouble getting direct, clear responses when calling in. For job-seekers looking into ROCS for hiring: I'd recommend it, but know what you're getting into. Be sure to read both the Job-Seeker's FAQ ( http://www.rocsstaffing.com/job-seekers/help.html ) as well as the employer's FAQ ( http://www.rocsstaffing.com/employers/help.html ) so you have a good understanding of how ROCS makes their money while still upholding their promise of "Free for our candidates, always." Good luck in your job search! :^) read more

While Initially I was incredibly excited about the opportunity, I am so upset that no less than 30 minutes after a phone interview, A rep called my current place of work to introduce their services. This could have cost me my job. I work in a very small office. When I emailed my recruiter about the situation, she said the two weren't related, which seems very improbable given they have never called our office before giving them my information. All I got was a short apology and the " If I have any questions" response. They used me to solicit their services and might have cost me my current job. REALLY disappointed and upset. read more

Peggy is great. She worked to get to know me, my background, and what I'm looking for in a job. She placed me in a position incredibly fast and went above and beyond to advocate for me, streamline the process, and support me as far as my first few weeks. Job hunting is hard and it's been really nice to feel like there was someone on my side. read more

Jackie was my advisor and reached out to me a couple of days after I sent in an application through Indeed. I see a lot of negative reviews here and I strongly feel like they come from those who didn't really know what they were getting into. So if you're curious about this organization and what they do, definitely take a look at their website. They did offer me positions with a lot of experience potential, the downside was the pay. It was made clear that the pay could increase with time but it wasn't guaranteed so I have to make the decision of whether I'll be patient and take a risk with time or decide to accept other offers elsewhere. It comes down to you and what your standards are, there really is no pressure here. Jackie was extremely friendly, articulate, and considerate toward me and my concerns throughout my in person interview and so she did her job perfectly and that is why I am giving this place 5 stars. They do their part. read more

I am giving this place 1 star because they called our office today doing a cold call. I can tell the caller was young and unprofessional. I immediately read the reviews and I can tell when these reviews are legitimate and when they are not. I wish these people stop treating the people who read these reviews like we are stupid. I am a very seasoned Admin. Professional that has lived and worked in the Washington area all my life. I worked a lot with Staffing Companies and they are all pretty much the same. My organization stopped using them. Please stop telling your clients to give a review on yelp. Let people give a review on their own. If you are a legitimate service that treats everyone with dignity, respect and fair, people will give you the rating you really deserve even if you are unable to help them. Here, I am more inclined to believe the reviews that's less than 3 stars because these reviews appear more realistic; and here again, I can always tell the ones that are not really true. These staffing companies need to be real with people and stop playing with people's lives. When a potential employee is solidifying your services, they are looking for work to provide for their families and their welfare. Stop playing with people's lives and wasting people's time. If you are not going to help them or can't help them, just let them know upfront. (Say What it is and stop telling people what they want to hear to tell them what they need to know). read more

Very happy with ROCS so far! Not only did Peggy, my contact at ROCS, get me a job that I love the process was one of the fastest interview processes that I've done. Less then two weeks after applying I got an administrative assistant job, something I've been trying to get for awhile now. Peggy made the whole process easy and comfortable and has been a great contact at ROCS. I'd recommend using them if you're looking for for a good entry-level job. They hook you up with the right people. Thanks Peggy and ROCS! read more

ROCS has been helpful for me after I graduated from GMU. I've been struggling to find a job in the tech field, since I didn't have tech experience or a tech degree! ROCS has been more than accommodating. The interview process was speedy and professional. First, it was a phone interview with Kathleen. After speaking with her, she set me up an interview and had me reply to her email to confirm. The email has all the information I needed for the interview. When I went into ROCS, I met Tom, the owner, who seemed pretty cool. The staff even recommended that if I am unhappy with the job I am placed, to let them know and they can work with me to find another position. Thanks, ROCS! read more

I worked internally at ROCS for over a year and really enjoyed my time there. The two co-founders are great people - they truly care about their employees and have spent a lot of time creating a work environment that makes the employees look forward to coming in to work. They're very understanding and approachable bosses, always willing to answer a question or listen to your concerns. The recruiters are very invested in their work and do whatever they can to help candidates find the perfect job. I've seen countless recent grads find their dream job through ROCS' help. Overall, the company is still young but there's a lot of opportunity for growth and upward mobility. Would definitely recommend ROCS both as an employer and as a resource to help you jump-start your career. read more
