After finishing grad school, I struggled to find work and was feeling pretty discouraged. Then I connected with Search Pros Staffing, and they turned things around almost instantly. Within just a few days, they found me a placement that was a perfect fit. The team was professional, responsive, and genuinely committed to helping me succeed. I can't recommend them highly enough! read more

I found a good-paying job and applied for it. Had a great interview with Searchpros and a great feeling about the temp position. I moved states because the pay was EXCELLENT. Well, I realized that I was covering for maternity leave so I wanted to clarify when my contract was up and if maybe I could extend it. Neither my direct boss or Searchpros had a clue what the contract between the two of them said. It took several emails and a phone call to get it figured out. The contract was for 6 months but I only worked 4 months because the gal had been out for two months already and returned by her 6 months. I thought Searchpros would provide me with a new assignment...nope. I pestered them weekly. Finally, I realized a month before the end of my contract I was screwed and needed to hustle up another job. Well, in this economy, it has been tough. I sent 78 resumes and got 4 interviews. I even applied with Searchpros for two positions and got no response. I have no job. I applied for unemployment, which covers some bills but not rent. I applied for food stamps. I am just really disappointed that I didn't get another assignment like other agencies do. I am panicking. I have not slept for days. All I do is search for work and look at my dwindling bank account. Considering temp work - check to see if they will actually give you another assignment once the first one is up. read more

Sacramento's best staffing firm! Going on 20 years of success, they must be doing something right!

If I can I would give this place no star. I recently submitted my resume for a remote position. I never got a call back if I their client decided to move forward with my resume or not. It's been almost three weeks and my recruiter never reach out to me again. This is my very first time experience a recruiter not communicating with me. I am so happy that I never move forward with this temp agency. My friend did mention to me that this temp agency did the same thing to her as well. Do not waste your time going to this temp agency. Fortunately I was able to find my career else where. read more

I recently was contacted by one of the staff names Nancy Vallier. She sent me on an interview and the person whom I was suppose to see, was gone and I was told that she had no interiews onthat day, they were for the next day, I immediatley called Nancy who said she would call to find out what happened, needless to say she didnt casl someone else did and blammed the interviewer for not calling, The truth in the matter is this Nancy had the wrong date,,,, they never said can you interview another day. I would never recommend this company or persdon, as they have no idea what the hell there doing. Raleigh H read more

Demi contacted me about some open positions after seeing my resume online. I appreciate her so much because even though I did not get back to her regarding that particular job (I had a lot of other things going on) She reached out a few weeks later and asked if I was interested in a position. I was invited for an interview and actually got the job. She made this happen and has been keeping in great contact with me since then. She has always been pleasant and responsive. I feel very lucky to have had her help on my journey. Thanks so much!!! read more

This is a terrible company. Find another agency to for. They didn't pay me for the first week of work. When I emailed and called they didn't respond for 10 days. I had to call them again to get some response. Then I asked to backdate the check for the year the money was earned in and they ignored it and issued a check with the current date. Stay clear of them. read more

If someone lies to you at the beginning of a business relationship, or any other relationship for that matter, they will continue to lie to you and treat you deceitfully. I was originally contacted for a position in San Carlos. I told the recruiter I did not want to work in San Carlos as it was too far away. She later called me back with a position in San Jose but then wouldn't tell me the pay rate. Finally, her boss told me. She contacted me the next day and I was told I was submitted for the job in San Jose. I just got a call that I was scheduled for an interview for the position in San Carlos. I told her I had said I didn't want that job. She told me she had submitted me for it anyway, using the information I gave her for the San Jose job. It turns out she missed the deadline to submit me for the San Jose job but decided to use my information for the San Carlos job because she needed to make her quota. read more

I'm writing this review several months after being interviewed with this company because every time my experience with this crosses my mind, I still can't believe what a horrible experience it was. They contacted me regarding a position in the legal field. I have several years of experience in the legal field, in marketing and as an executive assistant, to name a few. I've worked for multi-million dollar law firms and have been promoted several times. I was going back into the law field after a 1.5 year break pursuing a creative endeavor. After taking a required test, apparently I tested high enough that Search Pros thought I would be a good fit for their company... Ok, I obliged, I guess I would be interested in considering that. But really, I was there to get a job back in the legal industry. I was very forthcoming from the start about a misdemeanor on my record -- something that has never hindered me in the past, and something I have always disclosed. Finally, after interviews with 3 different people (including 1 owner), I had my final interview with the other owner, Myla. I couldn't believe how patronizing, condescending and rude she was. She kept bringing up my misdemeanor and telling me how I would never be able to move up in their company, I could never work as a recruiter, because of my criminal record. She made me feel like I had just gotten released from a 10-year prison sentence. She snapped at me when I didn't answer a question the way she wanted -- my answer wasn't concise enough (because she made me feel so tiny and nervous!) She was so rude to me in a way I have never experienced during a job interview that my immediate reaction was to be snappy right back -- there's no way I'd ever want to work for this woman. It really seemed that she enjoyed making me feel 2 feet tall for no reason other than her inflated ego and power trip. If that's her idea of a successful interview process, she could use a course or two in management. For a female owner who boasts so highly about being a woman who owns a successful company, she surely had no respect for other female professionals. If that's how she is with interviewees, she must be beyond abusive to her employees. Moral of this story -- if you seek Search Pros assistance and they offer you a position within their company -- Say NO THANK YOU. Not surprisingly, they never contacted me about the legal position that I initially was applying for. Regardless, I took another position a few days later I found through my own attempts -- thanks anyway, Search Pros. read more

There is no transparency, timesheet was always being sent in late, Account Manager had no clue on how to be a manager, pay was always late, HR/Payroll does not know between a 2 week pay period or semi-monthly. Benefits are the worst/enrolled in 401K but was not given $$$ at end of employment - pay was low for market. Real Crappy company. read more

My contract was ending at the location I was at so I emailed my rep at Searchpros to let him know and possibly find something else for me-they make a tidy commission of my pay-I never heard back from him and when I found another job and tried to get in touch with him for my background check they just told me he didn't work there anymore and had to scramble to find my records. Not the most above-board operation and I definitely didn't feel like a priority. read more

Horrible. They overpaid me from my last pay check that my MANAGER DID NOT APPROVE. I have the emails to prove it. 3 months later, theyre asking for their money back. When asked if I can pay a certain amount for installments, they said absolutely not.. SHEESH. Like this was my fault...No help. Myla is rude and unethical. Stay clear of these people. read more

This agency is a Joke! It was apparent from my experience that they know nothing about or just can't be bothered doing something called a "FOLLOW-UP" (it involves picking up the phone and making a quick phone call, it's not hard to do folks!) with a prospective employee in addition to lacking a great deal of professionalism. I highly do not recommend this agency, there are much better ones out there. read more

I am very impressed with this agency. I interviewed with Tenesha and Heather today. They are both very warm, personable and professional. I also noticed that the receptionist was excellent at her job. There were many incoming calls that she handled with ease, as well as greeting and setting up numerous people coming in to interview. I already have a promising interview scheduled with one of their clients tomorrow afternoon! read more

Not so good at helping out with jobs I have been waiting for awhile, but I finally found a job that best suites me. Just being honest! :)

This company reached out to me in regards to a position for a financial company. At first, the process was extremely simple and was made to seem they had everything under control. This WAS NOT the case! Even though I scanned my college transcripts, emailed them and handed copies directly to the recruiter they were lost. I even had to have a copy of my HS diploma to make sure I was a high school graduate. Considering my age, I had not had a company ask that before with as many college credits as I have. They will have you jumping through TONS of hoops (basically doing their job), while an extensive background check is being done which will show all the information they drive you crazy about. Forget them going to bat for you in regards to anything. They will only email you when you are employed. The phone goes unanswered from whomever you get lucky to be recruited by. They must get a damn good % of a "finder's fee" because they do nothing else. Beware of being on your own and this agency not having your back. I have worked for many temporary agencies over the years and only had this trouble one other time. Make sure you go in with your eyes wide open. I only wish I had paid better attention to prior reviews. read more

I love this agency!!!! They helped me land my first REAL job and I STILL LOVE my job... they are a great agency to work through... they also have a great and friendly team who will work with you to get you where you want to go, as best they can. I've referred many friends and family to these guys and we all love where they have led us to!! If you are looking to hire, use them. If you're looking for a job, use them!!!! read more

Not too long ago I was contacted by this agency. At the beginning of the e-mail I received they explained that they found me not through a review of my resume but simply by using keywords with their software. Clearly, they got it all wrong because there was no correlation whatsoever between my experience and the job opportunity. Also, the job was outside California and it did not allow relocation which was complete nonsense. How can they expect me to even consider the position if they don't accept relocation? That's totally idiotic and unprofessional. These fools just wasted their time and my time. Here goes my review for working the way they do. read more

If I could give 0 stars I wouldn't even do that!! I only write reviews for REALLY BAD and really good experiences. I have never opted to use a staffing agency and I now remember why. Don't expect to be treated like a human, rather a number. I called to discuss my differing outlook on my final interview, which no hard feelings, I didn't get. However I was told the reason by a recruiter (who conveniently went from answering my calls by name to answering with a generic greeting) that the reason I ultimately wasn't chosen was due to the fact that I have kids and I wasn't ready to work in a fast-paced environment. Not true! I am shocked at how that assumption was even made as I myself have ALWAYS worked in a fast-paced environment. DISCRIMINATION much!!! Little does Heather know that I have the same work ethic as her and would do just about anything to get to my goals just like her. I see a bitter bitch in my opinion who is not prepared to deal with a little competition. I was SO taken aback by the inaccurate information that led to the decision that ultimately was made that I don't feel they would represent me for who I am and my capabilities externally. I asked them to not use me externally either. Nobody needs you and your shitty services. I did call and speak to Ronnie (Coach) because I felt that strongly that how I interviewed was not the same as the way Heather portrayed me, ultimately making me a no-go for other internal opportunities. Ronnie was rude, argumentative, and has no respect for you voicing your opinion. He cut me off several times throughout our brief conversation, if that's even possible. I finally had to just say "Have a good day, Ronnie," and politely remove myself from the other line. I didn't want to be rude and hang up. That is not who I am. The belittling and inappropriate behavior on his end was not the impression that he initially presented, even going as far as to reassure me he was gainfully employed and didn't need to do anything and that maybe I needed the learning experience. I'm not sure what you people were taught. My momma always told me to be nice if you want to be treated nice. So, I'm only brutally honest and rude when I need to be. Now is that time. Never use these people to help you. read more

The worst agency ever!! Very unprofessional. Attitude is rude. A company like this should not stay in business at all. This agency will make story between the employer and you to take more money out of your pocket. When they ask you for explanation, they will threaten you to let you go. Trust other recent reviews and stay away from this POS. read more

I agree with what Dani M. said and also got the same kind of treatment. They had me interviewed by two different people for the receptionist position. I took a personality test, and took other tests after my interview. Before I went home to take the test, I was scheduled for a second interview. I scored really well on my tests. I came in for my second interview and was told one of the people that was going to interview me wasn't there. I found it rude that the receptionist or one of the people didn't contact me and let me know that the interview was canceled. I was told I would get a call back later, didn't. I called them three different times, even emailed, and nobody got back to me for my next interview that they supposedly were going to schedule me for. I really don't understand what happened. My experience with them was rude and unprofessional. I haven't heard from them since and it's been a couple weeks. read more

If I could give ZERO stars I would, the rep I got was a terrible person, after starting work I reached out to my rep as requested by search pros that I keep them informed about my job daily, I wanted to ask her questions about my contract, when I brought it up to her she literally laughed in my face... and told me to call her when she wasn't so busy... Fast forward two days and I give her a call, I politely ask how she's doing, and then I brought up the contract again, she proceeded to ask me who was making me ask her those ridiculous questions about my contract, and that there is no such thing..... I then asked her really? Is that why I can't have any commission or overtime at my current job because I'm technically not employed through them but through search pros, so I figured the person who signed me up would be able to have a knowledgeable conversation? NOPE, she said she doesn't have any info for me and to talk to her supervisor if I'm going to ask any questions... What the hell is she getting paid for??? To forward my questions to her boss and not deal with anything that makes her use her two brain cells?? I was finally fed up with how discontent these people treat their new employees, and how they make them feel bad for asking questions even though we are required to check in.. not only was this a bad experience during my time of employment, but getting my belongings from them was another story... It was a hassle, I will never go through search pros ever again, I've passed this information on to the correct parties. Rant over! I just wanted to share my terrible experience with Search Pros :) read more

Search Pros Staffing in Citrus Heights is a professional, top notch staffing company who provides excellent temp-to-hire opportunities. Many thanks to their excellent recruiter, Jay, and office staff, Joanna, Heather, and Renee who all go the extra-mile on every level and issue of concern. I can't be thankful enough for their encouragement and support every step of the way. Best wishes and success. :-) Rudi read more

I have been signed up with SearchPros for about 3 years, and have been on a number of assignments. On the down-side, I had a period of over 2 years with no assignments even with multiple calls in for availability. But the plus side, which far outweighs the "dry spell", is that without exception, every job Heather has sent me to has been a good experience. She only sends me to good reputable companies that treat their employees (including temps) well. My current assignment at a well-established and growing mortgage company will hopefully become a permanent job very soon. Way to go Heather! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! read more

I have been with Search Pros for about a year now and have several placements with them. I can't say that I have loved every placement but I have been at my current placement for a little over two months now and love it. I would not have heard of this amazing company, let alone gotten my foot in the door without Search Pros and for that I could not be more thankful. My recruiter is local and responsive to emails and phone calls no matter what time of the day or night. If you have the experience, know how to use multiple computer programs and are willing to prove yourself as a temp than this could be the agency for you. read more

Not a professional business to work for, find another temp agency that will value you and your experiences.

I have worked for SearchPros since the beginning of the year and when laid off they have placed me at a new position. I am so very thankful for their help in finding work in this fierce job market. Heather Kocina has been my hero in ensuring I am not jobless and able to provide for my family. I cannot thank her and her team enough for all of their help. SearchPros is the best temp agency I have worked for. I have referred my friends and family to them because I know they are able to help place them. Thanks so much SearchPros and Heather Kocina. Rebecca Masterson read more

The team at SearchPros Staffing are my only choice when I am looking for a position with the help of recruiters. They are professional, they don't just "fish" for candidates like most of the other agencies do, posting jobs that don't exist. Several of the companies I've met with say they prefer working with SearchPros to fill temporary as well as permanent positions that are open, which is the most credible aspect of using their services. read more

SearchPros Staffing is an amazing staffing company. Ronnie R. who was my recruiter/manager treated me with so much respect and kindness. He is best recruiter I've had. He was absolutely incredible when I worked for SearchPros Staffing a couple of years ago and even though I no longer work for the company, he still treats me just as well. I am embarrassed to admit that I haven't done my taxes for the last three years. I am currently being treated for a suspected case of COVID-19. I am quarantined to my home and don't have the opportunity to work remotely so I am not earning my normal paycheck every two weeks. I really need the stimulus checks that will be sent out soon but in order to get them, I have to have done my 2019 taxes and if I hadn't done those, they will base the checks off of my 2018 taxes which I did not file. I didn't file my 2017 taxes either. To file 2018, I have to file 2017 first. I reached out to Ronnie to find out how I could obtain my W-2 to file my 2017 taxes so I can file my 2018 taxes and receive the stimulus checks. Ronnie directed me to the payroll department and after I reached out by email, Sarah D. in the payroll department got back to me immediately and helped me get my W-2 statement from ADP. I honestly can't believe how nice everyone I encountered at SearchPros Staffing was and still is to me. I have told all of my friends and family what an amazing experience I had with the company and if I ever get the chance to work for them again, I would in a heartbeat. Thank you SearchPros Staffing for treating me so well. read more

I was contacted on 3 separate occasions by Search Pros in reference to a position with Kaiser Permanente in their call-center in San Diego. All three times, I submitted all the requested documents, took and passed the required tests and even went to a drug screening. I never heard back the first two screenings and when I called back, was told the positions had already been filled. The last and final time I was told that because I could not provide a W-2 from 2001 and college transcripts (school was just let out for summer and the Admissions Office was closed for 2 weeks) sooner than 1 week, I was not offered the position. AFTER I did a pre-employment drug screening. AFTER I submitted a blank check for Direct Deposit. AFTER I passed all the computer tests. AFTER I was issued a security badge I.D. for their client Kaiser. This place is a TOTAL scam. Don't waste your time. I feel like my identity is at risk as they have all of my Drivers License and Social Security and checking information. And they wanted a W-2 from 13 years ago to prove I worked somewhere even though I provided my new-hire documents from that time. VERY disappointing. THE worst agency I have ever dealt with. Unorganized and unprofessional and very shady! USE caution when giving this agency your personal information. read more

SearchPros is a horrible, unprofessional company. I have received calls from them about positions, have gone in for testing and did above and beyond on the "tests" they make you take, and still nothing. I was in a very tough situation at the beginning of the year and they (actually Jay) submitted me over to SMUD, and he didn't even follow up with me. I had to follow up with him several times and never even had the decency to follow up in the end. Along with how unprofessional Jay was, I overheard the employees talking about their manager, I think her name was Myla, and it didn't seem like it was an ethical place to work. I wouldn't want to work for a company that seemed to treat it's employees so terribly, and then also be so unprofessional towards it's candidates. I now have a great job, no thanks to SearchPros and seriously wouldn't consider wasting another minute with this company, when there are so many others that actually care about people. read more

Search pros is a scam. They called me in for an interview where I read read a script. Did I mention I drove all the way from Fairfield. The guy assured me I did great and he would be contacting me. Needless to say no phone call. I know that I was over qualified for this job and the reason I feel scammed is because I read the reviews about this company before I went to the interview against my better judgement. When I called to check on the position they were rude and just full of it. read more

Last month I received and email from one of their recruiters asking me to come in for an interview. As I replied, I asked a simple question and he was short and snappy with me. Ok, cool! Maybe I just took it wrong,right?! NO! The next day I went in for my interview where the receptionist was the ONLY thing this place has going for them. She was very nice and outgoing. Anyways, they had me fill out 8 different forms including my direct deposit info. I waited over 30 minutes for this "interview" where the recruiter was telling me about this front desk position at their office. And then said "plan B is a place in Natomas doing about the same." He then proceeded to set me up to take a few tests and then after I was finished with that, the receptionist said "Ok he wants you to come back in tomorrow for a second interview" Ok. I come back the next day and again, waited FOREVER to speak with him. He then introduced me to one of the owners who proceeded to tell me she liked me and wanted me to meet ANOTHER owner. The recruiter disappeared for 20 mins and then came back to tell me the other owner was unavailable and that she said since I've already come in twice that she would call me that day at 3pm for a phone interview. And guess what?! NOTHING! A month later I've yet to hear anything. I've emailed and called several times. Here's my thing, if you didn't like me or see that position a fit for me then say something. Don't be unprofessional and ignore people. read more

Trust your first instinct! I left a very well paid temp position to this underpaid temp position for the opportunity of working for a well known hospital. How this company is able to staff for said hospital is beyond me. During the recruiting process it was a script and sounded as if they used off shore staffing agents. I have a staffing background and they asked questions that are clearly against California Labor Law. I should never have taken this position. They are only out for the money not for the welfare of their candidates. I am sickened by the thought that companies such as this are able to stay in business. They did not realize they had me sign a paper from the client stating I would report any workplace violence. When I did report the workplace violence, they sent me a Cease and Desist letter! I am not a person who sues or complains, but this staffing agency is bound to be sued by a candidate or client one day soon. It sickens me to know that this company is still in business. Very Sad! read more

I have been having a difficult time getting someone to contact me back via telephone or email. They were once very good at communicating and getting you into a job. I have been contacting them nearly everyday for several months and they still don't try to contact me just to keep me updated about what is going on. I once recommended them and spoke very highly of them to everyone I knew but now I am very disappointed in the way they treat their clients. read more

Jay from SearchPros is amazing! He really makes sure to present you only the type of jobs you are looking for. He keeps tabs w you via email or phone calls, gives you helpful tips to boost your resume, and is really your biggest cheerleader to get you the best fitting job. Never has he disappointed me! Thanks SearchPros, keep up the great job! read more

I was contacted by them this past August after they found my resume on Monster. I went in for an interview and everyone who worked there was very nice and professional. I felt this was a very promising prospect for me. They immediately sent my resume in for consideration for several job openings, but none of them panned out. I understand that happens, sometimes you're not picked. However, I've barely heard from them since. After our meeting they contacted me once with a job that was part-time, didn't pay much, and required a ridiculous amount of testing you had to pass. That was weeks ago and I've heard nothing since! I love it that this agency is local and not some big corporate entity, but they simply fail to deliver on what at first sounds so promising. I do not recommend this agency - go with Office Team, Apple One, and Ultimate Staffing instead, they are much better at delivering results for you. read more

Perfect match! I can't tell you how many staffing agencies have it wrong when trying to place me. SearchPros not only placed me properly, they treated me with class and professionalism. I would put SearchPros at the top of any list of staffing agencies. Keep up the great work! read more

I am not sure what these other folks are talking about really, Ive had a great experience with SPStaffing. given it took a while for me to get placed, I still got placed eventually. and I have been at my location since april. and now that my contract is expiring, I emailed my recruiter, and she immediately set me up with another interview on monday. I recommend this place!!! read more

This agency is awesome! This is the 2nd assignment They placed me about 4 years ago and are placing me again! My rep remembered me from before and recognizes that I am very employable and all along has been super quick at trying to place me. They have sent me to 5-6 interviews in the last 5 weeks. I am being extremely proactive- The other 8 agencies I am signed up with and applied for positions for online have not sent me on any interviews- so Search Pros really shines in my book :) read more
