My tryout was in a regular room with a "Flip" style video camera - I still question how effective they could possibly be in finding work - especially when there's not a single good review here from their own clients! When I can not only prepare my own demo for a couple of hours of studio time, but also buy any equipment that they seem to bring to the table for less expense than the studio time, I wonder why I need them to get started.... especially when I don't recognize any of their "talent"! [A note added after the owner's response: I DID ask several questions about their agency, and was told that they (or at least the owner) had been in business for many years. I asked this because I wanted verification that this wasn't an agency that makes its money on preparing head shots and marketing materials, like many "modeling" agencies. Since the short message that I HAD received pointed out my need for these very materials prominently and was short on other info, AND the address info wasn't up-to-date via Google, I thought that I had a valid concern. Then my tryout was less than a minute with an assistant (who hadn't overheard the conversation verifying that they are legit) with a camcorder, who declared that I had "the best speaking voice so far that day", when I was there for voiceover specifically. I was told that they would decide by the end of the week. Then, two days early I was told that they weren't interested. I'll leave it up to the reader to decide whether that sounds like she took offense at my checking their status as a legitimate business, or really was more interested in selling marketing materials to me. At the very least, the under-a-minute tryout and lack of their own physical space or professional equipment makes me think that their resources must pale in other ways compared to other agencies in town.] [Another update: I have since been in contact with another agency, Images Agency, that was actually willing to spend their time answering questions and finding out more about me before judging me for wanting info or basing a voiceover tryout on under a minute filmed on a Flip camera. Images's people were all polite, helpful, and treated the conversation like a real discussion, as opposed to the one-line e-mails and attitude that you're lucky to even get a response that I got from Azalea. I look forward to leaving a 5-star review for Images, whether they use me or not!]

Not everyone is a good fit for every agency and it can be an ego hit to those who go home without a contract.

This agency is different than the rest because when Elisha looked at my resume, she advised me on how to do revise it differently. She knew what the employers were looking for and the key points that would stand out. She also advised me on demeanor and questions that may commonly be asked of me at a interview. I feel this is BIG because even if I didn't get the job, I could still take with me information that would be helpful to me down the line. Elisha Newsome, you are a awesome recruiter! You let me understand many things that I didn't even realize I was doing, that could have hindered my hiring possibilities. This agency is OUTSTANDING!

I have worked in a staffing agency, I understand it's not easy. I applied for a job that I didn't…read morerealize was a contract position through craigslist and received a phone call immediately. The woman that called me was very terse and very critical of my resume. I was thinking, okay maybe my resume is not written good enough for a temp agency, they do see a LOT of resumes so I went ahead and scheduled an appointment for the interview, even though I wasn't sold on the job. Also, with the unemployment rate as high as it is... She could have been nicer! geez o pete! Back to the facts. She told me parking instructions would be in a following email, there were no instructions. Best I could guess was the phrase 'the appointment will take about 30 minutes' means "pay the meter accordingly." I'm glad I even found the meter after I had just passed a lot for $4 and not having that much cash on me. I get up to suite 675 and there are not numbers on any of the suites, I happened to see a TRC Staffing sign inside of a suite, with the sign direction inward, not towards the door. I was 45 minutes early (I misjudged how long it would take me to get downtown, and had run errands before hand) I was promptly told that I could not fill out the application that had been emailed to me "because that's just not how they do it." they could not print it out, and they could not let me sit at a computer to work on it there, when it was sent to me that morning, while I was getting ready for the interview. I was promptly sent out the door. Best option was to reschedule, since I was so off put by everything else, I was just done. In today's economy with so many people unemployed for such long amounts of time, I cannot understand how this place gets by. The potential employee is the customer!!! Be nice to them! Cater to them, entice them to work for you!
