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.

If you are looking for work, I highly recommend them!

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.

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.

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.

Perhaps the best career decisions I ever made was choosing represention through Seattle Nanny…read moreNetwork. I'm so thrilled to have passed the 5-year mark with the family I was placed with, and I couldn't have dreamed of a better match. I am truly a member of the family and imagine sharing milestones and making memories for a long time to come. The staff at SNN is not only warm, but so careful and comprehensive. They screen both sides with precise thoroughness, devoted care and attention, and yet made the entire process a breeze. I was always confident in the safety and security for all of us. Be ready for the fast-track - they are committed to quick placement, offering multiple yet thoughtful options to make sure both sides have a great selection when finding the perfect pairing. I can't recommend them enough for negotiating the best packages for employees, they really know the value of our time and care. New parents can rest assured they are getting their money's worth and only the best of the best will make the cut. Elite yet down-to-earth is a reality. Find loving placement with Seattle Nanny Network - I sure did. Thank you SNN, for providing me a connection to more than a job - you provided a connection to a lifetime of love.

Is it ok for a nanny to walk out at a job that she has been at for 1.3 years( last feb through this…read moreJune). with the same schedule and the same family? Hannah givens was a nanny we hired through seattle nanny after paying the agency a placement fee close to 6000$. We had all duties and all the hours outlined in the contract. She was working the same schedule for 30.5 hours outlined in her contract. During her tenure she had a major life change (got engaged) but communicated her choice to keep the job with us, this was around spring this year. After her life change, she started calling out quite a lot, and called out sick either in the morning or in the evening. We sat down and had a conversation with her to understand if she still wanted to work with us which is when she tells us she is relocating to Marysville from where she is living right now. She said in order for her to continue working she needs to condense her schedule as she now has to drive from Marysville. So not only did we change our schedules to accommodate her request but we moved my son's pre-k school closer to home to help lessen her drive time. his previous school was a little further away from home. After all of these efforts, she simply sent a text message on June 28th around 10.30 am resigning from her position. no call, no email, NO NOTICE. AND BLOCKED ALL TEXTING AND CALLING FROM US TO HER. And guess what ! she had a copy of my house keys, my son's car seat, and my credit card as she did the groceries for us. After multiple attempts by Seattle nanny to contact her she responded later in the evening. Until then I had already contacted the Kirkland police department to see if someone needed to go check in on her. we literally thought something happened to her!!!!! only to find out she was avoiding talking to us!!!! wow! Then I spoke with my son who is 4.5 years old explaining to him that his nanny won't be returning, which is when he started talking and he told us she wasn't giving him food and was hitting him if she looked sad!!! I communicated this to the agency as well. The agency asked me why did we still choose to keep her if she was like this? I explained to them that my son has never complained about her in the past, if anything they seemed to enjoy each other's company. and I wanted to make sure he wasn't fabricating things and there was also truth to it. plus change is very hard on children, changing a nanny isn't easy and is completely avoidable if possible. I have so many unanswered questions about why there was no follow-up after the one call from Emily to help accommodate us. And that call too, Emily hung up abruptly. People's livelihood depends on help to a large extent! I am in healthcare and so is my husband! if people are paying you, there has to be accountability from the agency's end!!!! there was nothing done except we were told that she wouldn't work for them anymore! why would she leave if she never communicated her need for more money, more hours, fewer hours, or more PTO? At least have the decency to tell us it's not working anymore, give us a notice and leave! And for the agency, I honestly recommended so many of my patients and friends and I don't feel comfortable recommending anyone honestly because of the way they treated us and didn't even offer a replacement nanny at a subsidized cost.
