I have been working with Gary, sending him my resume and related certifications (sometimes with no response) and getting my hopes up for positions which fall thru. He is a very busy energetic no nonsense East Coaster. If he doesn't get back with me I understand that the job fell through or his client didn't respond to him. We should all know that by now. You should all understand that if your working with recruiters that it works both ways. Recruiters call me and I don't get back with them either. Gary has given me helpful information which NO recruiter has EVER done! I like him and have changed my opinion of him. I apologize for ranting because I got my little feelings hurt. I am sorry Gary and to Work 22. Sincerely, Toni Haraldson read more

I got exactly same time-wasting experience as many people addressed below. Quote below from one of the reviews which I exactly had experienced. if you get the email from Gary Schultz for the job opening, please don't reply back, it is kinda scam I think. "Gary Schultz is unprofessional. He is biased, rude, and apathetic. Rather than assist you to find a timeframe to fit your needs or give the capacity to do so somehow, he stomps on you--it's his time, or "their time" as he states, or the highway. He constantly repeats himself as if you're deaf and assumes you didn't hear him the first time." read more

Wish I could give this 0 stars. Sent me an email which misspelled "Indiana" (spelled it "Indina"), misspelled "assistance" (spelled it "asssitance"), misspelled "reports" (spelled it "reprts") and misspelled "president" (spelled it "presdeient"). I feel very sorry for the client that hired this fool to be his recruiter. One spelling error or typo might be understandable but four in a very short email is unacceptable. His resume claims to have a Masters Degree (I think his university should consider rescinding his diploma). read more

Ok. I got an email with just JD, no intro and nothing else. I responded and said I was interested in the position and attached a copy of my CV. I am a professional. Gary responded and said "call gary 323-694**6577" with no explanation. Don't waste my time read more

Gary Schultz is unprofessional. He is biased, rude, and apathetic. Rather than assist you to find a timeframe to fit your needs or give the capacity to do so somehow, he stomps on you--it's his time, or "their time" as he states, or the highway. He constantly repeats himself as if you're deaf and assumes you didn't hear him the first time. If you're incapable to meet an interview, his tone changes: he's short, pushy, impatient and gives you an ultimatum or the rejection and clicks on the call. We understand you need the chump change as a job recruiter--don't make it blatantly obvious. We understand companies have timeframes, and time is money. Be wary of Mr. Schultz, he is not very kind to full-timers, and will sing a different tune if you show signs that you are unable to attend an interview. read more

Gary Shultz, if that is you on the receiving end, with all due respects, you need to be consistent. The email you sent me was misleading based on what you required through phone contact. More over, my phone call to you was specifically related to the email you sent me, not other unrelated topics. You used my valuable time forcing your unrelated topic more important then the misleading email you sent. I can delve deeper into this but refrain from doing so. One reason I must refrain is the evidence in how you responded is not available to me , and no way of telling if that you (Gary Shultz) on the other end. By the way who ever you are (Gary Shultz?), you did not offend my feelings, but you certainly got my attention. Have a Great Day! Amar read more

I got three calls and an email immediately after applying online. The voicemail be left was all gibberish- lots of back ground noise. Super unprofessional and messy. Did not make me want to call back. read more

Gary is a douchebag. Listen up everyone, just say NO to temp agencies, they are leeches. When they have no clients they will go out of business and the companies that use temp agencies will have no choice but to play by the rules and laws and hire people with benefits and fair treatment. Temp work is slave work, say no, put these leeches out of business. read more

Gary is suppose to be retired but he chooses to stay in business. His mind is incapable of working at this time and choosing Gary will certainly be an incredible burden to you. read more

At first it seemed it was a done deal after I did my search online. Then I applied through Work22, because the pay was reasonable. Gary Schultz's name is the contact name, email and Phone number on the website. Therefore, after 3 days, I called him. He picked up the phone, I explained what I'm looking for and where I was.. he said fine send me your resume directly and call me after you're done.. Anyways, the third time I contacted him, I could hear a gals voice in the background ( maybe Wife??), they were arguing about something. At this point I thought they are either too busy recruiting or having some family issues. read more

Work 22 sounds like a show run by a single man: Gary. He works from SoCal and contacted me in the past. His emails do not have an introduction. He is simply providing a job description and nothing more than that. His last message was lacking an introduction and he he wrote "we are looking" ... not really sure if there is really a bunch of people at Work 22. It looks pretty lame and lousy to me. read more

Extremely rude to talk to and work with. Does not listen to you speak but instead asks you to HOLD ON at least 15 times in a 3 minute conversation because he has 10000 other things he is doing. He is multitasking at times and has no time to listen to you. Extremely unprofessional. Gary is extremely rude and would not recommend. Find another staffing agency/recruiter. read more

I did not actually use the service, due to my skill-set not being in line with the job placements he had available. But Gary was still very helpful. He took time out to refer me to very viable work options, and even followed up later to make sure I was headed in the right direction. read more

I want to thank Gary for all his assistance and understanding when I was searching for a employment opportunity. He was very understanding and eager to help place in a position. He was also very professional with his explanation of the position and very helpful whenever I had a question or concern . Thank you so much Gary , I truly appreciate your efforts. Sincerely, Jerry read more

I just called this company for a job they have listed online. I was placed on hold about 3 different times before even being greeted and when they did finally answer I wasn't asked my name or anything just what type of work I was looking for. Upon telling him, I was told he didn't have any type of work like that, and I responded I was looking at a position listed online. He was rather rude and said you don't have experience in that, then said ok bye, and hung up. Did not say he would keep me in mind or anything, simply hung up. Very unprofessional recruiter in my opinion. read more

Gary is a great guy, I applied for a job in Sunday and was hired by Tuesday, it took just two days to get hired through him and I never gone through a temp agency before! Fastest I ever landed a j read more

This company does not read resumes or help in the job search at all. Instead they spam labor jobs to their contacts list without any thought. read more

"Work" 22.... I found them a few years back (2009 & 2010)on Career Builder and tried finding work through them, but it didn't go anywhere. Whatever. Fast forward to 2014. They send me a job description via email a bit beyond my education, but I qualify easily based on work type experience (maybe the company looking for hire is desperate?). The instructions were very clear, resubmit resume and call in. So I resend my resume (updated) then call in. "What's your name?" "What job are you calling about?" "Where do you live?" "How much do you want (pay)?" "What's your education?" This Gary Schultz must be very proud of himself, because he can't even break the ice with a "how are you?" Or create any kind of levity to the phone call and just rolls off a firing round of questions. Now these are all things he could figure out if he looked at the info he sent me and my resume. After telling him I have an Associates degree: "Nope, company wants Bachelor's degree. Thanks bye" You would think a headhunter would have the brain to email me and ask "Hi xxxxxxx, I was wondering if you've received any formal education since the last time we spoke." Or at least have a better way of dealing with possible future talents. Since it is up to us job seekers that generate his income, you'd think he would be nicer to us. This guy must have been horrible in school, because he does not know how to do his homework nor did he learn basic interpersonal skills. read more

Budget for positions NEVER PROVIDED - DOE, as fact experience and my pay expectations been much more than a potential employer budget . . . both of us me and potential employer wasted time guys if you will see DOE, and the budget was not provided by request, simply ask for pay interview, to prevent wasting time read more

I got a phone call regarding a position and when I returned it the guy named Gary seemed really rushed and pushy on the phone he didn't even let me ask a few simple questions before cutting me off and to top it all of he didn't seem to have the basic information regarding the position stay away! Look else where. read more

I have never spoken to a more unprofessional person in my career. I am educated with a bachelors and a masters degree and he sent me an offer of a job opportunity online without even any greetings. When I called him he was very rude so I just hung up on him. His type of behaviour is extremely unprofessional. Stay away from Work 22. I will never coordinate with them again. read more

GARY SCHULTZ called me today about a job and left a message. I called him back to talk to him, and every single time I tried to talk, he would yell and interrupt me before I could finish my sentence. At the end of the conversation, because I couldn't take this job he kept yelling Thank you, bye. Thank you, bye Thank you, bye. Thank you, bye. Thank you, bye.... over and over and over and over... Every single time I tried to ask him a question. What on earth is wrong with this man, this place? I hope he is not the owner. I am going to find out on Monday. Even if he is, I am going to let everyone know, wherever I can, what kind of person GARY SCHULTZ is. read more

When I called him he was very rude so I just hung up on him. He's kind of dumb and unprofessional. Stay away from Work 22.

Gary is without a doubt the most unprofessional person I have ever dealt with. He is very rude on the phone and appears to have a very inflated sense of self worth. I would NEVER deal with him of his company again. read more

Gary Scultz has to be the least professsional being I've come in contact with. He's very rushed and jittery, talking 1000 miles a minute and not listening to a word from your mouth. I was emailed about a position and told to give him a call. After calling, he tells me I dont meet what they are looking for (even though I sent in my resume. Why did you extend an offer if I wasn't qualified?) and IMMEDIATELY hangs up in my face. I call back and ask for his supervisor in order to file a complaint, but of course they just so happen to not be in. What a coincidence. I said ok well when will they be in? Is there a better time to call or another number? Again he repeats I dont know, they arent here right now. I will be visiting the facility. I've never had an experience with a temp agency be so unprofessional. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH WORK 22! read more

The worst ever Gary sends emails about job listing I called him back he's very rude and just basically dismissed me off the phone I'm not sure if it's a employment agency or just a scam to get people's personal information my suggestion is to not deal with this company and add them to spam read more

Gary was very rude and completely unhelpful. I have never come across someone so unprofessional.

Gary is a very professional and reliable. He will use all his resources to get you in the position.

Applied online on Zip and Gary called pretty fast at first I heard a TV going on in the back and then he came out of no where ranting about all kinds of stuff about the job and cut me off and put me on hold. At that point I thought this was a scam so I hung up. This guy called back 10 times!! Probably from other numbers too. Now I'm skeptical of all numbers calling me... read more

Gary at Work 22 Inc. is a great guy who does his best to look out for you and help you find the job your looking for. I have recently graduated from college and since my graduation Gary has been helping me look for a job in the Orange County area. A family member refereed me to Gary and since I have gotten in contact with him he has set me up on a couple of interviews, all with positive results. No luck yet finding a job but hey third times the charm and Gary doesn't give up as long as you don't walk away. Just as a heads up Gary does talk rather fast but he is incredibly patient and devoted to his clients so just try to listen, ask questions, and work with the guy so he can help you get to the future you deserve! Thank you Gary for all your help! read more

Gary is pushy and does not use active listening skills when trying to learn about your job skills. The job he emailed me about may not even exist! It was a job he contacted me a month earlier on and he had no memory of talking with me then. Not very good customer service. I left him a message to follow up on the job and he never returned the call or sent an email. Very bad service. Stay away or learn who is the company and go meet them yourself! read more

Let me start out by saying that I normally dread talking any kind of employment agencies. It seems like all they care about is building there data base. My experience with Gary was as good as it gets. He was nothing like your typical head hunter. I got the sense right away that this guy cares about me and my future. I called Gary for a job he had listed online. The job had already been filled, but Gary told me about a program that he had just heard about that was sponsored by the government that gave free training to help a person get a job in Supply Chain Management. Even though it was not thru his agency, he spent a lot of time with me to make sure I had all the proper documentation to get into the program. He called me the day before to remind me of the time it starts and he called yesterday to follow up with me to see how it went. Nobody does that. I cannot say enough about him. I feel like I have a friend that really has my best interest in mind. If your looking for work. I would not hesitate to call him. 323-694-6577 read more

I have dealt with Gary for quite a few years. He is a no nonsense guy who truly wants you to be placed in one of his listings. He is a straight shooter and offers tips and advice on landing your job. I would recommend him to anybody looking for a qualified candidate. read more

Gary was such a nice, supportive man, he got me a job and brought the greatest news of the day!

Gary is a spammer with no real jobs to offer. He is looking through your resume using automated system so his offer may not really match your needs. I tried to call him once and he is really like what other negative reviewers said, he is just uncaring and does not seem to know the job he offered (I suspect that he is just a job broker looking through online listing himself maybe). read more

I have never experienced such unprofessionalism like I did with Gary I don't know how any legitimate company would give him a work order to find them a candidate for employment .he treats you really bad, hangs up the phone on you ,will not let you talk. after waiting two weeks for an answer everytime I call he would hang up the phone on me telling me to call him back .finally I called him and told him to pull my resumes and I will no longer be working with him. this guy is a joke!!! he should be working as a clown in a circus.don't trust him he's a liar if you don't believe me give it a shot and you'll see how you be writing a bad review as well very disappointing.wasted two weeks for nothing. Gary your pathetic!!! read more

I called this agency about week ago in regards to manufacturing engineer job posting he sent out and he is very rude and not interested in listening to his "potential client". Just ignore his email or put it in spam folder cause he is not interested at all..... read more

Gary at work 22 is Great! He is a refreshing change from the typical heartless employment agencies. His goal wasn't to farm me in with a dozen other applicants in order to impress his clients. He felt strongly that I was an ideal candidate and he presented me directly to the hiring manager. Yes he talks fast, he's from NewYork! If you are fortunate enough to work with Gary, you will find him to be very professional and pleasant to deal with. read more

My experience with Gary at Work 22, Inc. has been outstanding. He is knowledgeable, proactive and gets great results. I give him my highest recommendation!!!!! read more

Gary has consistently notified me about employment opportunities that match my skills and knowledge areas. I make this statement because I receive notifications from recruiters wanting to represent me for positions having duties that absolutely are out of the scope of my experience. Instantly, I regarded Gary's emails with interest. Today, I placed a call to Gary and he did everything possible to provide me with significant tools. He was able to connect me with a certification program that also aligns with my business skill set, and made a referral on my behalf, to another recruiter he thought would help me. I feel that the man is professional, courteous, and is interested in my situation. I recommend him to employers and job seekers. read more
