I was hesitant at first to go through a staffing agency to find a job, but my brother highly…read morerecommended I try as he found a great job right out of college through the AppleOne office in Columbia. I took his advice and decided to go into the experience with an open mind. From the first visit, everyone at the office was extremely personable, helpful and enthusiastic. I met with a consultant to answer some personal questions so she could gain a better idea of what exactly I was looking for, and what kind of experience I had. I explained I was still unsure of my 'ideal job' but that I had an interest in many different fields. I was contacted on a regular basis for follow ups and resume updates. The AppleOne team found me several interviews that I attended, but afterwards I still felt that I was not excited about any of the prospects. They were very patient with me and tried hard to continue to search and find a good match. My consultant Rachelle called me one morning with great news that she had found a company who was "really interested in my resume". She described them to me and I felt that it would be a good match so I agreed to get started with what would turn out to be an extremely intensive interview process. Rachelle made the whole process so easy and stress free- all I really had to do was prepare myself and show up for the interviews! She was always great about reminding me of dates and times, giving me tips and being readily available to answer any questions I had. She was very communicative with me and with the company the whole time. I did not have to do any following up, she did all of that. She and the AppleOne team helped me so much in getting the job! I was thrilled to be extended the offer, and one week into my new career I can already tell this is going to be a great fit. I am so grateful for taking the chance and going through AppleOne. I highly recommend their services! Ask for Rachelle!!

I enjoy meeting with Brett and now Caitlin ( I've worked with her before and she's awesome). Hammes Staffing Services has a proven track record of placing workers in various industries within the Charleston County Area. It's these friendly and harmonious relationships that Hammes has with the local organizations that are to the benefit of the applicants. I just go online, see what's available, upload my most recent resume and wait for a call back. The usual wait time for me has been about a week in which I go to the interview, Drug test, TB test, Criminal Back ground check and report for work as usual. I was able to set up my payment method and submit my time sheet electronically without having to drive over to Hammes each week to submit paperwork or receive a paycheck. Easy Breezy! My last assignment was as a School Secretary with the Mary Ford Child Development Center. It was a wonderful temporary position as a school secretary for infants to children 4yrs old. I enjoyed the assignment very much as it was enriching and endearing to my heart. When the young lady on FMLA returned to work, I left kicking and screaming. While at the school, I was the greeter and first point of contact for information for the students, parents, vendors, contractors, teachers, principals, employees, school nurses, school social workers, and safety officers. I scheduled appointments, answer the phones, replied to and composed emails, and provided administrative support to teachers, parents, and school officials. I was trained in submitting purchases for the Charleston County School district. I also learned how to put in purchase orders, put in maintenance requests, submit electronic requests for equipment repairs, and call in substitute teachers. I was also assisting the parents with new or temporary badges to gain entry in and out of the school. My Greatest accomplishment while there was receiving my Munis General Ledger Certification!!! Indeed has never worked for me, just in past month, i've applied to 134 jobs and got 0 offers, 1 phone interview as an Armored Car "Customer Service Rep", 0 offers and 0 hires. I am looking forward to working with Brett and Caitlin again in the near future. I highly recommend!

I have had pleasant experiences with one staffing company so far in Charleston…read more Let me start off by saying that I filled out an application on indeed and immediately received an invitation to come in to interview. I arrived and was immediately asked to fill out another application (face palm). It took about 10 mins to fill it out, I sat down with a recruiter and we talked for literally 5 mins. I was told I would probably have an interview and asked what areas I would drive to and wouldn't drive to. Sent a few follow up emails and did not receive any response. I arrived 10 mins early, I had on a nice suit and long sleeve button down, my hair and nails were manicured, had resume in hand with other items so I really do not understand the lack of response or follow-up. I have heard reviews about other experiences other minorities have had with this staffing agency, but I wanted to go into the interview with a clear head. I am a little annoyed because I wasted time off of my current job with the hopes that they would help me find something more suitable for me. For this headache, I have decided I can do the leg work myself as I do not receive support from them in this step of seeking employment so I could only imagine how it would be had I been hired on by them for a client and then had issues on the long run. Please don't waste your time. I would highly recommend Charles Foster or Trace Staffing (where one of the recruiters @ Hammes Staffing). They will help you and be open and honest in the process. Good day
