Basically since Covid19, I have had trouble finding decent work. The world is different and it's hard to get seen. So I turned to temp agencies for help. I tried many but all of them were honestly worthless except for Spherion. Far and away the absolute best. Unlike others like Remedy Staffing or Employee Express or Beacon Hill who almost never talk to you, never follow up on anything, and have little to present, Spherion was on the ball from the word go! They responded the fastest and off the bat gave me four options to look at when the others only had one! I got a job pretty quickly. I wanted to write this review then, but I'm glad I waited. When that job fell through some time later, Spherion supported me and I was able to get another one in less than two weeks. I have been exceptionally impressed by their speed and humanity. I feel heard and helped. Even when having to deliver bad news, they did a phenomenal job, able to discern relevant points in response, and kept doing what was right for me! They are the best without a doubt. They are really active on your behalf and that meant the world. read more

Temp and employment agencies have taken to posting jobs on Internet job boards and I applied to one. I had only worked on short temporary assignment over a couple of years ago for Spherion and had not heard from them since, so when I got a call, it surprised me. They called to say that they felt I was unkind to Spherion staff and wanted me to apologize for that from two and a half years ago. They acknowledged that I did a satisfactory job with the one assignment they had provided. Why go to the trouble of getting an apology now after I hadn't heard from you in so long? If it really bothered Spherion they would have requested an apology ages ago. read more

Spherion was instrumental in getting me back to work after a personal setback. My recruiter Alishia was extremely helpful and friendly. She wanted to find a post that was a good fit for my personality and skills, and encouraged me to apply for a spot that I didn't feel qualified enough for. She saw potential in me that I was blind to. I got the position, and it was a stepping stone to an even better place. Spherion helps sum up your job skills and connects you to desirable employers, including the state. They give great interviewing tips. The online payroll app is easy to use, and they offer benefits. Highly recommend. read more

If you're not familiar with staffing agencies, some introduction is in order. 1) They take a cut of your pay, 40% or more -- e.g., if they give you $10/hour, they are probably getting $14/hr or more from the company for your work. 2) They do not give you benefits, though they offer a (typically bad) policy that you can pay extra for. 3) In my experience, they exaggerate the length of assigned jobs and play them up as much as possible. Remember, the recruiters are salespeople, and they're going to try and sell you the job so they can make some money. 4) They have so-called "buyout contracts" with employers, which is insidious for two reasons. First, if employers want to hire you full time (it does happen, but not as often as you'd think) they must pay a fee, usually a percentage of your first year's expected salary. In other words, they are penalized for taking you on full time. And secondly, this contract applies even after your temporary contract expires. That is, if you try to apply independently with the company after your assignment is done, the staffing agency contract still requires the company to pay the buyout fee, unless they feel like getting sued. This buyout period lasts 3-6 months. My overall experience with Spherion was disappointing. I took several positions with them; one lasted 1/3 as long as they claimed, another about 1/2 as long. On one occasion, I was called on my way to work and told, "don't come in today; the job is now over." Rude. Also be advised: if you turn down assignments too often -- I turned down several -- they will not call you as often, and eventually they'll stop altogether. Which, in the grand scheme of things, is good, because staffing agencies are not worth your time. read more

I had a very good experience with Spherion. My recruiter found out answers to all of my questions in a timely manner. She was always professional and very responsive. I am working for a company that is a very good fit for me. I would recommend working with Spherion while looking for your new job! read more

I was looking for a good job close to home. I interviewed with Joshua Spude and he along with the whole staff at Spherion Staffing Services found the perfect job for me. They were very professional and nice. I highly recommend them. Chuck read more

I ended up finding a job elsewhere, but I had a very good experience with Spherion. I met with Claudine for my interview and was also in touch with Loraine via telephone. Everyone there seemed very professional and friendly. They had some very good jobs available, and if I'm looking for work in the area again, I'll definitely be contacting them! read more
