After reading a few of the reviews, I am compelled to share my experience with Ultimate Staffing, Henry Nguyen, Emi, Maddy M. and others. I am proud to be an Ultimate Staffing Ambassador. We are a team, we work hard for each other, and clients. The most important item is that as an Ultimate Ambassador, I work often, I work hard, as does the team at Ultimate. I truly feel blessed to be part of the Ultimate team. Henry Nguyen, Emi, Maddy McPhereson, have made me feel valued as an employee, as a person. We work as a team. Ultimate is unique in that professionalism, ethics, honesty, transparency, elevated level of customer provided to both client and ambassadors alike is constant. Having worked for Ultimate Staffing for a while, I have found everyone at the Costa Mesa, and other locations to be excellent, professional, upbeat, hardworking. Rarely, am I without an assignment. The natural flow of transparency, honesty, ethics has been delivered at all times. The clients are well established businesses, one day I can be in a long term fast paced corporate environment, the next assignment will be something much different. With each assignment, the clients are always pleasantly surprised at the elevated level of customer service provided and, delivered if this is their first time using Ultimate Staffing Services. The corporate/business climate has changed significantly, in that many clients want people for projects, this is a good thing, I get to keep my skills sharp, learn new skills, grow professionally. I am confident Henry Nguyen, is looking for the right temp to perm assignment for me. It is noteworthy, Ultimate gives back to our local professional community in many ways. This is a company that is in touch, works hard, current, care, they deliver. I am proud to be an Ultimate Ambassador! read more

I absolutely recommend Ultimate Staffing Services!! Mary and Rina have been incredible and they have me great guidance in finding the right job, they were both attentive and made sure I had everything completed prior to my job start date. read more

Mary worked so hard for me to get a job. She was so patient, kind, and attentive. She helped make the job hunting process less stressful. She gave me great advice, helpful tips, and helped me restructure my resume. I am so grateful for Mary for helping me find this new amazing job opportunity that I am so excited to start. Thank you! read more

Met with a recruiter and to my surprise she was late. She seemed like she was extremely exhausted from her day bc she was trying to catch her breath when she met with me. Seems understandable, she has to travel often and meet with a lot of people. The downside of that is she didn't seem too interested in me, personable, just covered the basics, and it just felt very scripted. Not saying she is always like that, maybe she was just having an off day, but i didn't appreciate it too much. She barely made eye contact, barely looked at my resume and didn't allow me to talk too much about my experience. She just rushed me over to the computer to take my photo and video. Next day/week/month, no follow up. read more

I'm so glad I switched to Ultimate Staffing! Ashley is the best!! In today's challenging climate, where finding someone who wants to work is no easy task, Ashley has consistently come through for us. If you are located in the Costa Mesa/Santa Ana area this is the place to call for workers! Ashley is also a joy to work with, great attitude and always helpful. Very happy customer! Thanks Ashley, very much! read more

I am so grateful of Emi & Colleen and the Ultimate Staffing team. They found me the best opportunity that I will forever be grateful of. The best job agency to work with! I highly recommend anyone that is seeking new opportunities Ultimate is the way to go! Thank you, thank you! read more

This agency has to be the most disappointing ever. They will not accept any tragedy's and will shut you out after that!!! ***PLEASE READ*** I applied to this agency hopeful for a position. KAREN assisted me. I have to say, they are fast. She then transferred me to Lauren I believe. They were able to find me a job. It was a Friday evening. They said I can start Monday. Sunday, I got into a car accident. I was in the hospital for a couple days. Never made it to my job. I have all the paper work. I couldn't notify them because my phone was cracked due to impact. I reached out desperately and apologized for the no show. They only said "sorry that happened, we can't offer you anything anymore" they said "we are hesitant" I was in a car crash, they are hesitant because I did a no show when I had valid excuse? That right there, is ridiculous. I let time pass. Couple months probably. I emailed Karen today asking for another opportunity. She said they can't assist me? I WOULD LOOK ELESWHERE. I was honestly amazed by them before my car crash. I was amazed by the fast service. It's too bad I had to have that happen to me, I guess I shouldn't have gotten hit by a car then. read more

Updated After I completed my assignment and was hired full time June 2017: My experience with Ultimate staffing was a dream come true. After the industry that I was working in was falling apart, I wanted to try something different. I applied to Ultimate Staffing back in December and received a phone call from Emi a few days later. The whole process was pretty quick and simple, and everyone that works in the office is very professional and personable. Emi proposed a couple of different temp jobs that were available through Ultimate, and I was working within the first two weeks after coming in. I only had to visit the staffing agency office twice, once for the initial interview and the second time just to drop off paperwork. After that, I was only required to get myself to my new job assignment. I knew from the beginning that Emi had set me up with a wonderful position as an administrative assistant and front desk receptionist in a company that is professional, kind and cares about their employees. Emi was so supportive to me throughout the 5 months that I was putting in my temp hours at this new job. She checked in on me through email and helped me with any questions I had about how to fill out my time cards, sick time (which you get!), and health insurance (woohoo!). From the beginning, I didn't really know what to expect, as I had never worked with a staffing agency before, but I know that Ultimate and Emi have given me such a wonderful experience and I definitely recommend getting in touch with her. Now that I have been hired full time at the job that Emi has set me up with, I wanted to update my entry to really reflect how grateful I am. It was such a blessing to have been set up with a good paying job, have health insurance from the start of working (and it's pretty good health insurance too!), be fortunate enough to accrue sick time and use it in the case of doctors appointments or illness. But most of all I am beyond grateful for the quality of the position that I was put in to. I have never worked for a company that treats it's employee's so well. Thank you Emi! Jan 12,2017 So far I have had a wonderful experience with Ultimate Staffing, I applied through Indeed.com and received a call from Emi a few days later. The whole process was pretty quick, everyone that works in the office is very professional and personable. I was set up with a job within the first two weeks. I really love my new job so far and I am grateful to Emi and the rest of the Ultimate Staffing team for setting me up with a quality job that was near me. I love that they also provide health insurance while I am a "temp" as well as sick days if I ever need them. The ladies at the front desk have always been very helpful and quick to respond to any questions or concerns I have had. Thanks again! read more

This review is overdue but very well deserved. I had never heard of Ultimate Staffing/Roth Staffing until I was contacted by Lindsey through LinkedIn. I didn't think much of it but a few days later, I reached out to her with everything I was looking for my job search and we were able to arrange a meeting to go over my qualifications/skills and she was able to learn more about me and what I was looking for. Lindsey really was so delightful to work with through the entire process. She always made the time to answer my emails and phone calls with any questions and updates. She kept everything I wanted in mind and found a fantastic opportunity for me. Other staffing agencies never gave me the attention to detail and sincerity like Ultimate Staffing did, I will keep them in high regard for any family or friends looking for a new job or career change. Everyone that works here is AMAZING!!! I worked primarily with Lindsey, but had the pleasure of also meeting Henry and Melissa. I was developing a pretty negative outlook on staffing agencies and Ultimate Staffing completely changed that. Thank you so much Lindsey! read more

**YOU BEEN WARNED** I applied for a job posting via the Internet. A Mr. M, contacted me, he went through the preliminary questions over the phone, and schedule a face to face interview with me. When I got there, I had to wait in an in an interviewing room for almost 30 minutes because Mr .M was in a meeting, very unprofessional since I got there on time, it raised a red flag on how they treat potential temps. Anyways I completed the interview with Mr. M, I even did a short video of me, which is recommended by the staffing agency, I thought it went well. Next was an interview with Mr. M's Manager (Ms. Hollywood-I will call her), needless to say, it went down hill from there. She shook my hand scanned me with her eyes, then quickly sat down like she was in a hurry. For the next couple of minutes, she didn't not even look at me or even wait for me to finish answering her few questions she had asked me, it raised another red flag. I really was interested in this job I was applying for, which I was way more than qualified, but towards the end of my interview with Ms. Hollywood, while I was thanking her for interviewing me, she abruptly reached over the desk and gives me her card and with out looking at me gets up walked towards the door and tells me we will keep your resume and contact you for any job matches to my resume. Needless to say, I was left utterly appalled. To the point of feeling discriminated against my nationality, because I was obviously qualified for this position. I waited for about 3 days, no calls from Mr. M, so I decided to leave a message to return my call regarding the position I applied for, what I got was the same cookie cutter response that I received from Ms. Hollywood. The third and final red flag. I never got a call back and it's about almost a month now. Side note, I had another interview with the same agency later that day at a different location, but Mr. M told me he would contact them to cancel that interview since I already have interview with him. To no surprise, he never did, so I received a slightly upset call from the staffing recruiter asking why I didn't make my interview. I highly do not recommended this staffing agency, if I can give this 0 stars I would. Do not waste your time this place is soo unprofessional and their business conduct is appalling. You been warned. Don't believe me look at the other reviews who relate with me. read more

Phenomenal staffing agency! Ask for Whitney, Karen, or Brittany and they will go above and beyond to help you find a job. I was very skeptical at first because I never applied for a staffing agency but I am so grateful for taking the chance and having the opportunity to talk to these ladies. They worked as a team to help me find my ideal job and I landed with a company with great pay and amazing work culture. Thank you for all your help! read more

Be HONEST and TRANSPARENT. Especially Maddie from the costa mess location. My experience was so negative with them. I almost became homeless due to a sudden job assignment loss and they never even remotely helped me find another assignment even though I have lots of experience and clerical skills. I went hungry for a couple months and basically went without a paycheck for an entire month thanks to the horrible customer service at ultimate. I will NEVER recommend to anyone. read more

I applied here and they found me a job within a week. It's been 4 months now and the place I'm at is wonderful. I'm becoming a permanent worker pretty soon and I would like to thank Maddie and Laura for the help. P.s. you can get cheap medical benefits and get paid every week. read more

This is a wonderful staffing service with great recruiters who really care. Lauren, Melissa, and Emi were all very helpful and patient. They do their best to place you with a company that fits right. Although I did not find a job through them I am confident other job seekers would be able to! read more

Amazing group of people! They genuinely care about the professional development of all their clients. Poornima was truly instrumental in my determination to find the right position for myself. Her constant feedback was valuable and truly appreciated. Poornima always answered my questions and concerns promptly and made me feel like I was a priority in helping me find that great career. read more

I just want to say going to Ultimate Staffing agency was the best choice I could have made while job hunting. On my own it was so hard to find a new job. They put on a good word for me and when the right position came I got an face to face interview. I am still working with the company they hooked me up with and I appreciate them so much. Shout out to Melissa in the Costa Mesa location for going an extra mile for me. I would definitely recommend this place to people. read more

The place is shitty and all there business location in the US is the same cuz they never call you after they told you to summit your resume to them and they not even try to help you find a job just like Matt Mayeda the one in 1212 Alton Pkwy. All and all they make you feel negative and never like even put the effort to help you when you go to them. Oh yea and they want charge us after we got the job when we do all the work like calling them none stop and I thought is their job to get us a job and call us. read more

Absolutely loved my experience with this agency and all 3 of the people I got the opportunity to speak with. Each step of the way was very easy and quick. I'm blown away with the help I received from Emi in particular, she helped find me a true dream job. She spent so much time with me and really dedicated herself to helping me get a job. So professional, easy to talk to and kind. I would highly recommend this agency to anyone! read more

I have been unemployed for a little while now and have been working with several staffing agencies in hopes of finding a job. Laura Van Deudekom, Business Solutions Manager, has truly been amazing to work with. She is not only highly personable and responsive but she has also passed the word about my candidacy throughout the office; landing me other interviews through her colleagues. I really feel that she is looking out for my best interest and unlike other staffing agencies, Laura is calling me and checking up on my status regularly. She called me just to see how my interview went yesterday. Laura talks to me in a way that makes me feel very comfortable and well-cared for. I would highly recommend using Ultimate Staffing Services and request Laura Van Deudekom as your recruiter. Cheers! read more

Where do I start? How friendly everyone is? The timely matter they respond and work with you? Maybe, the results they produce? From Lauren to Alec to Melissa everyone at this office is top notch, the best of the best! Ive been with the Agency for less than 6 months, yet I have already recommended more people here than I have at any other agency I've worked with. The name of the brand is spot on because they have the nothing but top shelf companies they do business with! If you want results and willing to work with the best work with Ultimate! read more

Love this company! The staff is always very friendly and very helpful in getting you a position you are looking for. Very knowledge in all field areas. They work hard to get you working! I have recommended them to several people from temp work to specialized fields! They are awesome! read more

This place was absolutely wonderful! Within a week, not only did I have a job, but a job I really wanted. I went to school to be a paralegal and after graduating, no one would give me a shot. Not even an interview. After working with Laura and Chelsea at Ultimate Staffing for just a few short days, I got a direct hire job at a firm that I love. I recommend this place highly!! read more

Thank you Ultimate Staffing for helping me get a decent part time job for a college student like me. Melissa was super nice and friendly. I applied for the job she posted online, then the next day she gave me a call to come in for an interview. She basically helped me get the job in less than a week! read more

I would like to highly recommend Whitney O'Callaghan and Laura Van Deudekom as representatives to your next career opportunity! They exceeded my expectations with their connections and their uncanny ability to place people with the right employer! They are by far the best in the field! They are courteous, professional, and best of all want you and the employer to be successful! read more

I was laid off and after 3 weeks i got a job at a big company in irvine, i saw a job oppening in indeed and it says ultimate staffing, i called the number they called me for an interview and within 3 weeks i got a job which was temporary to hire and eventually got hired, great people, they treat you like family, i had a great experience working with ultimate staffing, definitely recommend it to anybody. read more

One of the worst recruiting agencies out there. They act like you are so great and they can find you something quickly, then you hear nothing for months. Then when you pursue them, leaving countless messages and emails (like all job hunting desperadoes are supposed to do), they finally throw something crappy at you, knowing it is a waste of time. Then it is back to sweet nothingness again. LOSERS!!! read more

Ultimate Staffing Services was a lifesaver! I had been looking for work on my own but was unable to find something that would provide me the hours, pay and schedule I needed all in one job. It was either one or the other. With being a working mom, you know you have to have something that fits into your already busy schedule. They took such a weight off my shoulders. You tell them what pay, what type of work and the hours you are looking for and that's exactly what they were able to get me. Laura Van D., worked so hard in helping me find what I needed and always kept me informed along the way. They have you submit a small video introducing yourself for them to show to the company looking to hire through their agency. They were able to get me an in person interview right away which they made sure I was able to be prepared and do my research before hand which was very helpful, and was offered the job right away and started that next week. The company I was temping for was so great and made me feel right at home. Shortly after that me and my husband got the news that we were expecting our second baby. Both the staffing company and the site I worked at I was working at were so great and accommodating. I worked up until my due date, my maternity leave went smoothly and I was able to return to work as soon as I was able. I feel Ultimate Staffing and Laura really went above and beyond to make sure I was not only taken care of but was happy there. Checking in and seeing how I was doing. After my contracted hours were up, the company I was temping for brought me onto their team permanently and its been a great fit for me and my growing family. Its been nothing but a blessing since day 1 and have already referred some friends looking for work to start here. read more

Love the people at Ultimate Staffing! Maddie originally contacted me offering to help with job hunting and Laura helped me land the job. Laura listened and only offered me jobs that were what I wanted and at the pay rate as well. I had a job interview within a week and started the job the week after! After I was hired on, Laura kept in touch and would occasionally stop by to make sure that everything was running smoothly. Thanks for having my back Laura! read more
