I just recently signed up with Certified Employment Group earlier in 2019. This is following the…read morefact that I had signed up with a couple of different Temp Staffing Agency in both Oakland and SF. Very rarely, I felt like i was or would get any fair consideration for the many opportunities and jobs out there. UNTIL, I finally met with Kim. Kim took the proper time to interview me and go in to depth about my work experience and what I was looking for moving forward. We discussed my likes, strength, weaknesses and preferences. Since then, Kim has considered me for several assignments and has placed me at a couple of great locations. Kim is very professional and respects me as a highly skilled employee and appreciates any and all feedback I can provide back to her. Especially, about the work and my experience about the assignments I do accept. Certified has worked out great for me. They have been an amazing Employment Group and have been extremely beneficial in me returning back into the work place. There is a lot of paper work to fill out and submit and there are also some assessment test, but nothing too extreme like other agencies. I have been very fortunate to have given them a try and that chance has really been paying off. Thank you Kim!

After filling out information and providing my resume, a recruiter contacts me to discuss how to best interact with their website. Like, let me do their job for them right? Lol When i asked her to discuss the job description for the search she was running, she admitted that she was not actually calling about a search. Obviously this is a total boiler room style agency with very little professionalism and value add. Total joke, time waster, stay away. If you want to work with a real recruiter i suggest you look elsewhere. Edit to add* I'm upgrading to two stars because the recruiter did actually call on time, and sent good follow up emails which is definitely better than other agencies out there.

After being passed around on the phone to a variety of recruiters, I was finally able to speak with a woman named Annie. She basically told me that she couldn't help me find an entry level temp job because I was a "transition employee."

Nice attitude for a company that is THEIR job to help employ people.

It's funny almost every review on here is a bad experience, but they all have something in common,…read morethey probably didn't get placed. Let's get a few things straight, this is a agency. There are hundreds of different agencies in the bay area, and they all provide a service. No company that provides a service will get perfect ratings. People are always easy to say negative things, but how many actually say good things? (This post is a prime example) They're not successful unless they are putting people to work. I'm sure they run into a ton of people every day, is everyone deserving of a job? With unemployment being so low, can anyone honestly say everyone is willing to give it 100% and make a living without an excuse? I contacted Aerotek right out of college, as well as a few other agencies, no names. I was always skeptical about agencies because I always thought it would be temp. I was in contact with all 3. The other agencies had jobs available and wanted me to go to work quickly, which was great! I needed a job. However, I wasn't too interested in the positions they had. Not once did they ask me what my major was, or what I wanted to do. In my mind, it was only going to be temp regardless. Then there was Aerotek, I was assigned to a recruiter, Julio. He was always in constant contact with me, which was surprising. He got to know me, and found out what I liked to do. I met with him at the Alameda office. I went through the back entrance. Everyone was nice and lively, seem like they were a cool office. Julio and I sat down, chatted about me and my hobbies, and my goals and interest. He then presented me with a few opportunities, and gave me the option to chose from. OPTIONS! Who doesn't like options? The other agencies didn't do this. I was blown away from this whole experience, it really changed the way I felt about staffing agencies, but Aerotek overall. I ended up not taking any of the opportunities Julio presented to me. I ended up taking a position with another company internally. But still to this day, I have nothing but respect and admiration for Aerotek. They left a great impression on me, and I would not hesitate to contact them if I ever were looking for another position. Julio actually still reaches out to me every now and then to see how I'm doing. He actually linked one of his partners with my brother, and got him in a job at a local hospital. The service I've received from day one has been amazing. Don't let all these negative reviews turn you away. I did my research, and Aerotek is one of the top staffing agencies in the industry. Not everyone is going to get a job there, there are some lazy individuals out there that won't be worth anyone's time. If you're looking for a agency, I would HIGHLY recommend giving this one a try. I wasn't disappointed.

It used to be a hospital back in the day, so it's space was planned out perfectly. The city and people of Albany are able to use the rooms within there to do a lot of different activities not just as a library, but as a service to the community itself. The last time I went in for one of these, not looking for a book was when we had the Medicare. Meeting where they explained how Medicare works and all the different parts of it to anybody who's headed to that age that needs to be educated on how it works. People hung onto every word of it right there. They usually side rooms for wonderful things like that it's very informative. The library itself isn't huge like some public libraries in big cities, but it offers everything that everyone would need for a small community surrounding it. And I like the people that work there they're very courteous and helpful. It's always clean and there's plenty of space and I see all the tables are occupied by kids students and adults all working side-by-side together going through their books writing their papers all the different activities that are found in the library. It's a very modern design of a building and it offers so much to anybody that comes in there. Check their schedule of events there might be something for you.
