Working with Michelle Cornelius was one of the best experiences I've had during a job search. From…read morethe very beginning, she took the time to understand not only my qualifications but also my long-term career goals. Rather than making me feel like just another candidate, she made me feel genuinely valued throughout the entire process. Michelle was incredibly responsive, transparent, and encouraging every step of the way. She consistently kept me updated, answered my questions promptly, and provided honest insight that helped me feel prepared and confident. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to finding the right fit--not just filling a role--truly set her apart. What impressed me most was how much she genuinely cared about my success. It's rare to come across someone who is as invested in helping people grow professionally as Michelle is. Her guidance and support made what can often be a stressful experience feel smooth, organized, and exciting. If you're looking for a recruiter who leads with integrity, communicates exceptionally well, and truly advocates for her candidates, I can't recommend Michelle highly enough. Thank you for everything you made a lasting impression, and I'm incredibly grateful for your support throughout the process.

Proven recruiting is by far the best agency I've worked with. I've been unemployed for seven months…read moreworking with various recruiters. Megan Joyce was my recruiter and she was outstanding, she really took the time to hear me out, providing constructive feedback on my resume and basically held me hand through the entire process which I appreciate. After working with several recruiters, I finally felt heard. Megan was super helpful with walking me through the company I was applying for and giving me pointers on interview prep. She was proactive and constantly checked in making sure I was happy. Megan is truly the best, not just saying that because she got US A JOB and a great company. On top of that, she was kind enough to connect my friend that is looking for a new job with one of her colleagues. Proven has great staff all around and I highly recommend them. Keep shinning Megan, I appreciate you!

I've tried to get help through this place twice. The first time, the experience ended with some…read morewoman telling me that if I can get a job at McDonald's. then take that. This time, the second time, my experience has been even more painful. Supposedly, I entered into some sort of "program" to get me employed but thus far it has been months of going around and around with one woman after another who has done nothing but refer me to "workshops" led by women who openly admit that they cannot get hired doing anything else. Yes, the Metro Career Center is clean, but I really wonder if some of these overly enthusiastic reviews on here are created by employees simply to ensure that the funding continues. The truth is that you can get a computer at the library. You can get a listing of temp agencies (that are not hiring) from Google. I can tell myself the basics of resume design. I can (even better) ask ChatGPT. My current "case manager" does nothing. She knows that I am going to go hungry soon so she sends me two links to dead-end job listings from companies that thus far have ignored my application. I'm not qualified to be a lot attendant for a parking company? Do I need two degrees for such a prestigious position? Now my case manager refuses to return my emails, even after I have begged for more help, or at least some moral support. Terrible. These Career Centers do nothing and are staffed by people who are otherwise unemployable themselves. As I've already written, the library also has free computers. The people at the Career Center claim that somewhere at the end of the rainbow there may be Department of Labor training, but you never get there. The pot of gold is a mirage. It's just the same thing over and over again, if you are even that lucky. Redo your resume. Redo your resume. Redo your resume. Get no job hits. San Diego's job market is the worst I've ever seen. Vastly too many people. And most of the people doing the hiring are very very biased and prejudicial about who they hire. Too old? Too this? Too that? Too bad. Get your shopping cart and pick a nice corner in a nearby parking lot to live. And no one cares. Even the people allegedly paid to help you. Five stars for superficial appearance. Zero stars for actually doing anything to help you get employed.

I used Ranstad.com after reading the positive reviews. I'm glad they had a good experience. I…read morehowever, have not. This August, I applied for several positions at Randstad. About a week later, I was very excited to see an email come in with the header/title "Great News!". Imagine my disappointment when I open the email only to see it's just advertisement for more positions. Ummm...what about the ones I APPLIED TO? 2 days after that, I got another email with the title "Next Steps". I wasn't so excited this time. As expected, it was just more positions. And the spamming continued. 2 weeks after I initially applied for the positions, I got a response. Unfortunately, I was being passed over for one of the positions. That's fine, at least I got an answer. I still haven't heard back about the other 4. KICKER: 1 week after I was declined, I was sent an email for the position I was declined for. The email didn't have a bunch of positions in it...Just. That. One. Now, I realize how things are these days. Everything is automated, yadda yadda...apply your butt off, get no response is the norm. It is an awful practice, but it is what it is for now. But, to get an email from AN EMPLOYEE at Randstad (not just from Randstad.com) for a particular position that you were already declined for AND without hearing about the other positions you've applied for? Bad business. Don't waste your time.

They…read moreare by far the best employment agency I have ever worked with, and I have worked with many during my 30-year career. They are very personable and friendly, especially the CEO, Natalie Viani, and my recruiter, Jessica Bailey. They are also very professional and efficient. They pay me weekly. Total time between invoicing and electronic payment is 11 days. They have never been late. Once, I forgot to invoice for one week, and I didn't realize it until the following Monday. I sent the invoice then and told them I didn't expect payment until the following week, but they paid me that Friday, just four days later! That is outstanding service! Their recruiters are very good too. They have never wasted my time by contacting me about positions that aren't a good match for me, and they helped me get two of the best jobs I've had. I can't recommend VIA too highly. You won't regret working with them.

She approached me in a professional manner and was very instrumental in getting me what I needed from an employer. She interviewed me via Zoom and listened to what interested me and my likes and dislikes. I had a few interviews and by the second interview I had an offer. There are many recruiters out there that promise this or that and fall short of getting back to you. When Jazmin said she would get back to me, she meant it. She gave me some good advice, and her emails were quite thorough. She was very transparent, diligent and always on top of her game. If you are looking for a dedicated professional, I would highly recommend Jazmin from TalentZok. Ramona Barron
