It was the least they could do after screwing over 105 people! Sheree, Kathy, and Gregg, 3 of the many career counselors at Ratliff, were simply amazing to work with. Sheree led the introduction course to explain the services they offer and how each person would be assigned a counselor to help them with their resumes, interviewing, networking and more! Their training seminars on LinkedIn, Networking, Interviewing,and Negotiating the Job Offer were very useful and informative. Kathy was my assigned counselor and she did a great job of helping me restructure my resume and run through some mock interview questions. She was quick to respond to emails and return phone calls and I sincerely thank her and the rest if the R&T staff for helping me land my new job! I'll take the ideas I learned and carry them on through the rest of my career. I'm not sure what they would charge for their services, but give them a call! They're a great bunch of people!

After…read morehaving my interview it took almost 2 WEEKS to even hear anything back and then still then- they needed me to interview with the actual company. They were very disorganized and I am so dissapointed I went through them, even now I am without a job. I would give your business elsewhere as they clearly dont know what they are doing or how to provide jobs quickly. Super disappointed.

As far as temp agencys go, there's not a whole lot of distinction between competitors. Although I…read morehave run into one of three frustrating problems with all the local agencies: 1)asking you to come in for an interview yet not interviewing you for the job you applied for. 2) claiming to place you at local employers yet only offering you positions that pay way too little for the hour plus drive you'd be making. 3) Making you jump through hours of pointless paperwork & training videos only to never place you...then having the nerve to call you over a year later. With Snider-Blake, I only had to deal with issue #1 & #2 (but two was my own fault). If you hate interviews, let's be honest they're a huge waist of time & know body enjoys the "experience"- this place doesn't actually conduct an interview. They'll discuss your job options and do their best to work with you (Morgan did an awesome job in finding an employer that would accommodate a medical issue I have). But be prepared as you'll be required to take a drug test on site & watch a training video. And as with all temp agencies, there's hidden fees. If you try out a job & it doesn't work out for you- you'll owe them $49.00! They state this is to cover the cost of a background check & drug testing but realistically this is not anywhere near the cost (In fact, you shouldn't be charged at all as you aren't expected to pay for these things if you are hired directly through a company & not an agency). Depending on which company you're placed with; they also provide you with attire (vest, gloves, hardhat) that you are financially responsible for returning in tip top shape- otherwise it's a $19.00 fee. Although they did find me immediate job placement (which I'm thankful for) I was unable to take them up on their offer which is my own mistake & not theirs. Again, they'll work with you & I stupidly agreed to work within a 20 mile radius so a 15 mile drive is equal to a little over an hours time due to two unavoidable school zones & constant heavy traffic in Twinsburg. I know from past employers that I'd never make it to the job site on time so this is something you should also consider. Again, Snider-Blake offers immediate placement which is more than I can say for places like Mancan, Employtemps, Ryan Staffing & Kelly's. Yet wherever you go, good luck!!! Finding a job is 10xs harder than people think so if you're down on your luck just remember at least you're trying.

I agree with Brett. I was asked to come in after I applied to a job through Indeed.com but when I…read moregot there (even though they had my resume) I had to waste 2 hours and reapply. Then when I finally met with Sparky, he wanted to place me at a company that was further away from my home. Although the pay was more, I wasn't interested and didn't understand why we weren't discussing the factory position I was interested in. I received an email to come back in and watch an orientation video for the position I didn't want. But we got three days of snow (over 8 inches the first night) so I wasn't able to leave my driveway. I had emailed Sparky to let him know and ask to reschedule- it's been over a week and I've received no reply. I don't know how they make any money if they don't place willing workers.

I also found out from another staffing agent that the wage was posted at approximately $10 higher than the actual pay. I would not recommend as I have not heard from them since my interview a week ago. They do not seem to actively seek to place you in a position.
