I did NOT meet with just one person, the assistant of the person who had contacted me. No. I was treated to a round table discussion with a team that would be working with me to find the right position! I learned things in that meeting that made it worthwhile regardless of any outcome. If you are looking for work, I highly recommend them!

I recently graduated with a bachelor's in accounting. Having no experience in the industry it has…read morebeen tough to break-in. I have worked with two other staffing agencies but neither of them have treated me as well as AppleOne. Just a couple of days after our first meeting Justin had gotten me an interview. He sent along a packet of information that really helped me to prep for the interview process. Turned out after making the drive from Everett into Ballard I wasn't as thrilled with the position and I just couldn't see myself doing that every day. Not their fault, I had told Justin that I was willing to work in that area, and I would be for the perfect position but this just wasn't it. I let Justin know that I was not interested in that position but he didn't stop working for me. I took it as a learning experience and I kept looking. A week later he had another interview for me in a position that seems like a perfect fit. I am going back for a second interview tomorrow and regardless if I get the position or not I cannot thank Justin enough for making it happen and for guiding me through the process.

I was contacted by Christine Rominski via LinkedIn a couple months ago. She contacted me in regards…read moreof a job that was available in my area. We talked and she was able to help me with interview questions, a mock interview, etc. with that company. She was very detailed, helpful and professional throughout the whole process. At the end, the company chose a different candidate but she still kept me in mind and was trying to help me search for other options. She helped me until I finally was able to find a job. She genuinely wanted to see you succeed and I really appreciate that.

I could not be happier with the help I received from Luke and West Coast Careers…read more Luke helped connect me to my dream job, and provided service beyond anything I was expecting.

Working with The Robert Half Creative Group gave me the opportunity to land my DREAM JOB at…read moreStarbucks Coffee Company. As I read through some of the other reviews, most were positive but some expressed sour grapes. I think there are some misaligned expectations as to what a staffing agency is. A staffing agency makes their money by supplying companies with workers either on a temporary are permanent basis. Unless you are paying a staffing agency a fee to find you employment, then the staffing agency's fiduciary responsibility is to the company that is paying them. You need to understand and accept this if you are going to work with a staffing agency. Here's how you benefit from the relationship... Staffing agencies can give you the opportunity/connection to network, learn, and build your resume with world-class business organizations that are extremely challenging to get your foot in the door. Once in though, it's up to YOU to prove yourself and work toward finding your dream job. You can't walk in and expect your dream job to be handed to you. Competition for good jobs in good markets is tough. You have to come at it by assessing the situation for fit, figuring out where YOU can add value in ways that align with your career objectives, get along with ALL the players (putting your ego in check), make a plan, STAY POSITIVE, and execute on it. Oh and by the way, all that work might NOT lead to a permanent job. Don't expect that, if you do you will fail at staying positive. However, know that all the work you are doing is being added to your resume. The way you are handling the situation is being noted by all those you are working with. They will remember you, refer you, and be a reference for you. If played right, over time you will land your dream job. TCG's role was they gave me the connection to make it happen, and supported me with training and advice on handling situations as they arose. That's it, that's all any staffing agency can realistically do for you. Here at the end of my experience with TCG, I can say they've actually EXCEEDED my expectations for a staffing agency. TCG offered me much more career building benefits than other staffing agencies. Benefits such as continued industry training, portfolio showings, attendance to top business industry conferences, team building and network events. This is the stuff that helps you develop your career path. Lastly, they've made my transition to full employment with Starbucks very, very easy. If you are looking to get networking opportunities or work experience added to your resume from renowned organizations and companies, TCG has the connections to make it happen.

I'm giving AppleOne's service one star because of my disappointing experience with their…read moreintroduction meeting. It was supposed to be a 30-minute session to discuss my goals, but it ended in just five minutes. The person I spoke with seemed uninterested and dismissive from the beginning. When he asked about my visa status (I'm on OPT as an international student), his demeanor completely changed. He basically told me it wasn't going to work out without offering any advice or alternatives. He didn't even ask about my goals or what I wanted to achieve--he just focused on my visa status and made me feel like I didn't belong. If it's true that Apple doesn't accept OPT, then fine, but the way this was handled was frustrating and unprofessional.

Within those 6 days, I got through two of my phone introductions and an in-person interview. Today, 6 days after the initial email, I got the job offer! I cannot say anything but great things about Mike G.'s professionalism and great communication, making this process so quick and easy. He stayed actively in touch throughout the week, following up with me and giving good advice on the steps that needed to be made to get the job. So, if you're looking for a job or to hire, this is your requiter to work with! Good job, Mike!

At which point the employer cut their contract with smart talent because they were charging a ridiculous amount for me. I think about 3 times my pay. The next 3 jobs they offered me had nothing to do with welding and the last one I took they sold it to me as welding but it was actually painting and it paid $2 less than they originally had said.

After asking around, all other contract employees with a JD were making $12 an hour more than I was. Kibby thinks this is fine since I was ultimately offered the job, but it's a job that wasn't close to what I was looking for, it's essentially call center work (which Kibby promised it would NOT be.), and after 6 months, because Kibby short changed me, I had made $12,480 less than all my peers with JDs. It's been over a year since I used ESP, my experience still bothers me when ESP comes up in conversation. People with less experience and less degrees coming from different recruiters all made more than me. I can't recommend avoiding Kibby and ESP strongly enough. UPDATE: After skimming the other reviews, people who are full white seem to have done better than me with Kibby and ESP.

Finding a new job can be daunting, but working with Tyler at Sasquatch Talent made it much easier…read more He was very communicative throughout each step of the interview process and would check in to get my thoughts after my conversations with the company to make sure all my questions were answered and I felt like I had enough information to make the right decision for me. It's rare to find a recruiter who you know is looking out for your best interest as well as the best interest of their company or client, but he does a great job making sure it's the right fit for both parties. I'd highly recommend Sasquatch Talent to anyone looking to make a career move in the Seattle Area. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and great to work throughout the entire interview process.
