My experience with Ultimate Staffing was top-notch. I am grateful for their professionalism and dedication to me as a candidate. I was relocating from Santa Barbara to San Diego and they were wonderful at finding positions and scheduling interviews with companies and executives who were really in-line with what I told them I was interested in. As a career C-level Executive Assistant, I know what I'm looking for and the Ultimate Staffing team really took the time to get to know me above and beyond the testing to find a position that was ideal for me. They helped me find a position with a company that was perfect for me and three years later I am still at the same company and blissfully happy. Thank you. read more

Since getting laid off from the first best job I've had in SD, I haven't had much contact for anything substantial....I think they have good connections, but may not be as motivated as my initial impression. read more

I tried reaching out to Ultimate Staffing again and still have not received assistance. I had successfully completed an assignment through another agency and upon completing the assignment.. I reached out to this Ultimate Staffing with my updated resume, and never received a response. I never received assistance from the first time I went in to interview. The sad part about this all is that I worked for Ultimate Staffing years ago and I was a successful candidate that was hired onto the company. I would not recommend Ultimate Staffing.... read more

Recently I was hit with the loss of my job and I was in the proverbial creek without a paddle. I had no idea where to start to find work. After hearing about this organization via referral I decided to submit my resume. In light speed I was contacted by Torrey (staffing manager) he was just the person I could expect in a staffing firm friendly, and respectful. read more

Ultimate staffing is a great place to go if you are in between a job or looking to explore a new career field. Jena, Jill and the rest of the staff are very friendly and work hard to give you many oppertunities to work. I would highly recommend them. read more

Whether you are a company looking for a recruiter or a jobseeker, I highly advise you to use Ultimate Staffing! As a jobseeker, I had the privilege to work with Chris Cotter at their La Jolla location. Within a month he had me paired with my dream job & dream pay! Never did I feel pressured to accept an interview as I had with other recruiting companies which made me feel much more valued. That being said, your values and goals are theirs as well. Most importantly, communication was exceptional! After the interview, Chris followed up with me to keep me informed of all updates AND when he was out on the field, his colleague Jena was ready to update me which shows how the branch collectively works together to increase optimal results. I owe my professional carrier to the both of them! read more

Wise up folks. You are nothing more than a paycheck to the folks at this "staffing agency." After submitting to a battery of tests (and passing them) I was introduced to a "higher up" named Jose Rivera. We seemed to hit it off well and Jose picked up the phone to call the manager of the department (the hiring authority) and left a voicemail stating that a real great candidate for the job was here and could a meeting take place that day. The call was not returned promptly and we discussed my being available the following day. I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM ANYONE AT THIS AGENCY OR THE COMPANY THEY REPRESENT (AAA) AND THIS IS NOW 3 WEEKS AGO. I diligently followed up, leaving several messages, all of which were polite and professional. Tonight I left another voicemail. I expressed my disappointment, not for not being offered the position, but for the lack of caring and professionalism. When people interview for a position, it is more than just a ho hum experience. They have every right to expect professional and courteous follow up, and not to be left hanging by an uninterested staffing agent. I will not be finished with this until my correspondence reaches an officer of both Roth Industries and AAA. I have a real aversion to people and businesses that act with little or no integrity. read more

The Ultimate Staffers did an awesome job! I went into the whole experience with a good job already in place, however I wasn't happy at my current position. After meeting with Jena we decided together what the next best move would be. Within 2 weeks of the first meeting with Jena I had an offer that is paying me double, in a much better company. Using Ultimate made the entire interview process seamless and I never had a doubt I would get the position I was applying for, because I was so prepared. I would recommend Ultimate to anybody with some decent experience, and the motivation to take your career to the next level! read more

I was contacted by their Corporate Recruiter earlier in the year regarding a possible internal position in the La Jolla / San Diego office. I met with the Manager of the division and things went really well. She had me meet with another Division Manager and that meeting went well too. When I circled back with the first Manager, she was talking about setting up one last final interview, asked about my availabilty and even said she wanted to get it taken care of before the end of the week. Needless to say, I left there feeling pretty good and excited about working for Ultimate Staffing. I went home and immediately sent out thank you emails to both of the Managers. Didn't hear a word from either of them or the Corporate Recruiter. Really? After the shock wore off, I was glad that things happened that way because it enabled me to keep looking and I ended up finding a much better opportunity. I've been in the staffing industry for well over a decade and this is the first time that I have had an agency not follow up with me after an interview. It's very disappointing because I always had a deep respect for Ultimate Staffing. read more

Can't thank Jessica Morris enough for helping me get a job in one of the best companies here in San Diego at the moment! She really helped me find the best match according to my qualifications. I was very well prepared for both of my interviews and now have a job at one of the top 50 places to work for in the states! She knows what a good fit is! The process was smooth and she was very proactive, encouraging and supportive. read more

Everyone here is great; Shelly, Christina, Liz...! They are by far 1 of the nicest staffing agencies. They always seem to remember me when I call, not one of those, ho hum, hold on while I look you up... They worked with me when I had some scheduling conflicts (due to a temp health issue) & then adapted the work when my schedule opened up. I always feel like they are not only working for what's best for them & the companies but also what's best for the worker. They always follow up & do their best to fully inform the company's of who is coming their way. My only complaint would be that I would love to have even more work coming my way from them. I don't think this has anything to do with them as much as it does the job market. The only temp-to-hire things they've offered include evenings & weekends, something I am not available for. I hope more things open up & I get as much work as possible, but as I said, I think this is more a fault of the recession/economy than anything else. Overall, I feel very taken care of & would recommend this staffing agency to anyone willing & wanting to work hard but struggling finding something on their own. read more

I've dealt with many temp agencies and by far Ultimate Staffing is the most unprofessional agency I have ever worked with! Liz the general manager is one of the most unprofessional individuals you will ever meet. She is extremely rude and talks over you NEVER allowing anyone else to speak, she cuts you off in the middle of a sentence and when she's done talking that's it even if you have something to say the conversation is over. This agency is truly a waste of anyone's time. If your looking for results save yourself some time and go elsewhere. This agency does not care about your needs only their own. read more

I did not have any experience working with a staffing agency prior to connecting with Chris C. at their La Jolla location. I was skeptical at first, but he made me feel welcome and comfortable right away. He spent a great deal of time asking me about what I was looking for in my next role to find a great fit with one of their clients. I recommend them for anyone in the job market! read more

I wouldn't waste your time with this staffing agency. Submitted a qualified application and didn't get any kind of response, even a declination. Unprofessional! I would try other agencies before this one. read more

Ultimate Staffing Services was all around professional, responsive and efficient when it came to helping me find a job. Chris was very thorough when reviewing my resume, ensuring I was qualified and ready for my interview, as well as personally reaching out to my (now) employer. I could not be happier with how timely the whole process was, and for all of Chris' efforts in helping me land the job I have now! read more

Very unprofessional experience with them. Met with Tammy or some blonde there, she spoke with me about 10 minutes then said she would send me testing via email. I completed tests and never heard from them again. Not a phone call that they received them, nothing. The office is half furnished and the whole business seems shabby. I would never take time out to deal with these people again. read more

They post ads on craiglists to get you to come in to a open house. I went to the open house and had an unprofessional recruiter talk to me while I was in the waiting area instead of talking to me at her desk. She didn't read my resume because she asked questions about things on my RESUME that could have clued her in on my experience. She wanted to get me into a customer call center job when I have an admin background. Take my word don't go here. read more

I have been registered with Ultimate Staffing for two months now. I have been offered NOTHING. Absolutely nothing. Every time I call, Melinda Broken Record says, "It's slow right now. I'll update your availability," in her haste to get off the phone. I scored highly on the multitude of tests, so I don't believe it's me. They are only a two-person office. At least I've only seen/talked to her or Grace. Melinda answers the incoming calls 95% of the time (while she is supposed to be finding you a job?). They don't seem to be able to fill even their own positions. Don't waste your time. read more

I have been working with Vicki on and off for many years now and overall I can say my experience has been very positive. Vicki is professional, and really listens to my needs, which are always every changing. Additionally, I never felt pressure to accept a position I didn't feel was a fit. I highly recommend Vicki and Ultimate Staffing. read more

Ultimate Staffing in Brea was a great staffing agency. My staffing coordinator Jennifer was amazing. She was kind, caring, helpful, and pleasant when assisting me. She was very professional. The entire office was professional and kind. Jennifer helped me find employment right away. She rocks!! Ultimate Staffing was worth the visit. read more

I called this number, but was given a number to call for light industrial. I was put on hold...to die. Please, if you don't have light industrial, or, if you are not taking applicants at this time, then just say so up front. Show some backbone and some integrity. Don't just slink under the table and be afraid to tell me the way it is, by leaving me on hold to die so I'll go away. Really??? read more

I have to say, I've dealt with every type of staffing company, and this one takes the cake for being the most unprofessional and disorganized I have ever come across. I first started with this company with Brittany in Oct. 2013. I completed all the testing and requirements. But, Brittany couldn't seem to keep a hold of my resume and told me I needed to resend it twice. I did, and she still had me "pending" for six months. I called back after my last assignment and spoke to Sarah. she couldn't find my resume. So, I sent it to her and she told me she would handle things and she was sorry everything went bad with Brittany. She told me I would need to come back in and interview again. I called today to schedule, and she blew me off with the "We will call you when something comes up". These people are clueless as to how to run this company. Maybe it's just me and they don't want me, which would be easier to handle if they just said so, but I am not alone in my complaint. I'm simply not going to call on them again as they are not a good resource at all. read more
