I was blown away by his drive to genuinely help me find the perfect job-- and not just fill another position in Chicago. Did he find me a fantastic position? Yes! Thank you, Eric! The long of it: I had never worked with a recruiting company before, and once Eric started to pursue a new job for me, he didn't stop until he found me a position I would love and excel in. He diligently called me, asked me questions, keep my head level and feet on the ground when I would freak out, and walk me through the interview process and performance. He was always professional, and wouldn't hesitate to go the extra mile if I needed more time or help. The other team members at Mindspring were always kind and encouraging if I stopped over to the office to fill out paperwork or talk with Eric, I felt like they were all rooting for me, and when we did get a new position, everyone was super excited too! I'm so thankful to everyone at Mindspring, as it was a new, and ultimately, wonderful experience. Special thanks to Vito as well! If you are looking to get hired, or are in need of a recruiter to find someone on your behalf, Mindspring Partners is your place to go.

I appreciated all the calls and updates. Paul was very knowledgable and had a plethora of interview tips. To prepare for each interview, we did walk throughs; he gave me advice on what to expect and how to answer difficult questions. Paul has many excellent resources on his website that he would encourage me to take a look at. He really works to train you how to interview well. He also has great follow though. When he received information from prospective employers or new positions, he let me know immediately. The service he provides makes it feel like he cares about you instead of just filling a position. His assistance was crucial in landing my job. Thanks Paul! Keep up the great work!

I was contacted about a possible assignment that was for a trading firm in the city. First of all, they don't bring me in to go over my background in person. Instead, they talked to me just on the phone and the gentleman that I talked to had no idea about anything in technology and he's an IT Headhunter! To make a long story short I go on this interview only to find out its for a mid-level support position that I was considerably over qualified for. To make matters worse, I never even heard back from DriveStaff abut feedback from the interview! I will never work with them again.

A small boutique agency that really toes the extra mile. Sue was so nice to work with, she really kept me in the loop every step of the way. I met her in person at the office. The process was easy. I love that they use ADP and I can electronically put in my hours from home or at work. I'm not sure of the prior experience of a prior disgruntled employeewith her issues with pay but my experience is you get your hours in by the deadline, you get paid on time. If you don't, you have to wait until the next pay period. I've never had any issues with my pay from them but I always report on time and they send a nice reminder out to you as well! The only negative is that they don't offer benefits for a temp assignment but I was converted quickly to a perm employee so I have benefits via the company.

They just don't follow up with people. The people in charge are so bad at their jobs that they…read moredon't understand that we're not dependent on them as much as THEY are dependent on the goodwill and personal endorsements of the people they manage and recruit. Nothing but dead air lately from The Smart Dept. I worked a job for them a while back and they did NOT have my back when the situation fell apart. They privately told me they were on my side and understood what my issues were with the client, but they did nothing to earn the money they robbed from me. This is a garbage company. Even something as basic as the lack of a search option on their website that would allow an applicant to search for local jobs, jobs in their field, or remote work has not been made available to applicants, which shows how out of touch and dumb this "smart" department really is. EDIT: Weeks have gone by without so much as an email telling me they've received any of my applications. They're on my block list now. I suspect the positive reviews here have come from employees of Smart Dept itself, or other plants and familiars.

Even though Smartdept is a small agency, I'd rate them as one of the better creative staffing agencies in the Seattle area. I'm registered with at least six of them.
