We talked and she was able to help me with interview questions, a mock interview, etc. with that company. She was very detailed, helpful and professional throughout the whole process. At the end, the company chose a different candidate but she still kept me in mind and was trying to help me search for other options. She helped me until I finally was able to find a job. She genuinely wanted to see you succeed and I really appreciate that.

After asking around, all other contract employees with a JD were making $12 an hour more than I was. Kibby thinks this is fine since I was ultimately offered the job, but it's a job that wasn't close to what I was looking for, it's essentially call center work (which Kibby promised it would NOT be.), and after 6 months, because Kibby short changed me, I had made $12,480 less than all my peers with JDs. It's been over a year since I used ESP, my experience still bothers me when ESP comes up in conversation. People with less experience and less degrees coming from different recruiters all made more than me. I can't recommend avoiding Kibby and ESP strongly enough. UPDATE: After skimming the other reviews, people who are full white seem to have done better than me with Kibby and ESP.

Working with The Robert Half Creative Group gave me the opportunity to land my DREAM JOB at…read moreStarbucks Coffee Company. As I read through some of the other reviews, most were positive but some expressed sour grapes. I think there are some misaligned expectations as to what a staffing agency is. A staffing agency makes their money by supplying companies with workers either on a temporary are permanent basis. Unless you are paying a staffing agency a fee to find you employment, then the staffing agency's fiduciary responsibility is to the company that is paying them. You need to understand and accept this if you are going to work with a staffing agency. Here's how you benefit from the relationship... Staffing agencies can give you the opportunity/connection to network, learn, and build your resume with world-class business organizations that are extremely challenging to get your foot in the door. Once in though, it's up to YOU to prove yourself and work toward finding your dream job. You can't walk in and expect your dream job to be handed to you. Competition for good jobs in good markets is tough. You have to come at it by assessing the situation for fit, figuring out where YOU can add value in ways that align with your career objectives, get along with ALL the players (putting your ego in check), make a plan, STAY POSITIVE, and execute on it. Oh and by the way, all that work might NOT lead to a permanent job. Don't expect that, if you do you will fail at staying positive. However, know that all the work you are doing is being added to your resume. The way you are handling the situation is being noted by all those you are working with. They will remember you, refer you, and be a reference for you. If played right, over time you will land your dream job. TCG's role was they gave me the connection to make it happen, and supported me with training and advice on handling situations as they arose. That's it, that's all any staffing agency can realistically do for you. Here at the end of my experience with TCG, I can say they've actually EXCEEDED my expectations for a staffing agency. TCG offered me much more career building benefits than other staffing agencies. Benefits such as continued industry training, portfolio showings, attendance to top business industry conferences, team building and network events. This is the stuff that helps you develop your career path. Lastly, they've made my transition to full employment with Starbucks very, very easy. If you are looking to get networking opportunities or work experience added to your resume from renowned organizations and companies, TCG has the connections to make it happen.

Finding a new job can be daunting, but working with Tyler at Sasquatch Talent made it much easier…read more He was very communicative throughout each step of the interview process and would check in to get my thoughts after my conversations with the company to make sure all my questions were answered and I felt like I had enough information to make the right decision for me. It's rare to find a recruiter who you know is looking out for your best interest as well as the best interest of their company or client, but he does a great job making sure it's the right fit for both parties. I'd highly recommend Sasquatch Talent to anyone looking to make a career move in the Seattle Area. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and great to work throughout the entire interview process.

Creative Circle is easily the best recruitment agency I've ever worked with!…read more I have been with them for over 10 years in different cities, and refer anyone I meet that's looking for work, to contact them. Opportunities range from short term assignments, long-term contracts, and contract-to-hire. Their agents are thoughtful, dedicated, and will help insure your resume & portfolio display your best attributes. They regularly contact you during work search and after placement to make sure your needs are met. Issues are handled within the day if not within the hour - To that point, they scrambled to help me organize with jobs I was on when they found I was effected by a natural disaster! A grateful thank you to both Kristi Seifert (WA) and Katie Berkson (PA). I highly recommend Creative Circle to anyone looking for new opportunities!

Creative Circle is a brilliant concept. And, I believe there's ample room for the company to live…read moreup to their stated values. The actual people I have had the pleasure to engage with have always been lovely. But, my observation of their business model is that they are income-focused-first and relationship-focused somewhere much further down the line. Being more net-income-centric than human-centric resonates as more similar to "following" than "leading" in business, most certainly in the marketing world they represent, where consumers are critical and have endless options. Mine is, of course, just an anecdote, one experience. I have received dozens of invitations to apply for roles and I have responded to a select few, only those where the fit between my skillset and the work required was genuinely aligned. And, I've never received a response of any kind. There's a very modest time investment they make upfront, evaluating prospective employees', like myself, experience and expertise at the start of the relationship, then the 1:1 communication seems to end there. It's been disappointing. If I were ever asked "How can we improve?" I would offer that the opportunity for Creative Circle here, as I see it, is to reflect on your values as a company, take a look at the shifting marketplace, and create an authentically human-focused engagement environment where there's trust fostered, earned and realized between the employer, the prospective employee and the Creative Circle brand --- and the real-life humans behind that brand. I realize that's potentially a daunting task, perhaps one that eats into net income... but someone's out there trying to figure it out. Why not you? With all due respect, this has just been my experience. Perhaps others have enjoyed something more meaningful and valuable in their collab with Creative Circle. The other reviews here would suggest so, but I suspect there's a lot more folks out there who feel similarly but have too much else to worry about right now than a yelp review.

I'd applied for a position through an online job site and was lucky enough to have Laurel reach out…read moreto me. From the get-go, she invested time in getting to know me. We talked a lot about my previous work experiences, my current situation, and where I saw myself going. Throughout the interview process, she was transparent in communicating the client's perspective. As soon as she received an update, I could count on her to connect with me. Though job interviewing has a tendency to be a stressful process, she helped me keep my head on straight by always being straightforward with where I stood. She provided lots of helpful engagement tips and offered effective follow-up communications. Week after week, Laurel demonstrated a high level of professionalism and was personable throughout. The entire process took about a month and I'm grateful to have journeyed with her to successfully land a new career opportunity.

The employees I've encountered are friendly and last year I got a position through them that ended up lasting from November to the end of March. It seems the assignments they get vary from something that lasts several days to ones that last months. A couple of nice benefits are the option to do direct deposit and ability to fax in your time card. In the several months that I worked through them, my paycheck was always deposited on time.

MBT is a 21st Century capitalist dumpster fire for the working class! Beware of this agency!…read more After registering with MBT in 2021, [I was never offered work] out of nowhere, I was called for a call center position that was advertised as a fully remote FT temporary position. When I asked about the equipment set up, I was told it was a laptop, cell phone and monitor. When I went to pick up the equipment, it was twice as much as I expected and even worse; MBT and the client did not disclose that the equipment was not WIFI compatible! I was expected to hardwire into my router, or I could not work remotely. At no point during the initial job "pitch" from MBT, [or interview with the client], did anyone from MBT disclose the truth about having to physically hardwire into a router. It was only after I accepted the position that I found out the hardwire was required. This business should be closed immediately. It is unprofessional for any "owner" or recruiter to "bait and switch" candidates. The unethical and exploitative choice to purposely lie about the position was made at my expense and when I proved what I had been told through multiple emails, there was no accountability from anyone at MBT. Abusive business practices like MBT's directly harm working class people. When unethical employers like MBT waste the skills, experience, time, energy, money, and resources of the working class, they are taking legitimate job opportunities from the workers who need and deserve it the most. The working class depends on legitimate job opportunities to survive capitalism. Recruiters and "owners" who choose to lie about the conditions of employment, directly harm working class people and the choice to exploit workers during the fourth year of the pandemic is abusive , period. This business is corrupt, and, in my situation, the "owner" [one of three] allowed another "owner/recruiter" who caused this situation, to circumvent ALL accountability of having not disclosed that the position required a hardware set up. What job in 21st Century capitalism requires a hardwire set up from home?! Stay away from MBT.

I have worked with two other staffing agencies but neither of them have treated me as well as AppleOne. Just a couple of days after our first meeting Justin had gotten me an interview. He sent along a packet of information that really helped me to prep for the interview process. Turned out after making the drive from Everett into Ballard I wasn't as thrilled with the position and I just couldn't see myself doing that every day. Not their fault, I had told Justin that I was willing to work in that area, and I would be for the perfect position but this just wasn't it. I let Justin know that I was not interested in that position but he didn't stop working for me. I took it as a learning experience and I kept looking. A week later he had another interview for me in a position that seems like a perfect fit. I am going back for a second interview tomorrow and regardless if I get the position or not I cannot thank Justin enough for making it happen and for guiding me through the process.
