I went to meet with certain recruiters at HiEmployment before…read more I found them decent. I did like meeting Angela Parra. I thought she was fabulous. Even though nothing came to be, she gets a star. I liked Vanessa Perez. She spoke about my potential as a candidate. But she left after one year or so. She gets a star. When I spoke with Barbara Guss, she said she will contact a law firm in Hawaii on my behalf. But she called me two months after the fact. I already got a job on my own. Aside from those ladies, I rarely get calls from them. Even if I did, a recruiter from the education section referred me to a remote part of the island. I tell them again and again that I don't have a car. They don't listen. In certain cases, I felt like they set me up for failure. I felt like I wasted my time with them. Pass.

Be warned, his accusations will come completely from left field. No preparation, no hint, completely unexpected. Once you start getting a grasp on what he is even saying he will hang up on you and pretend you don't exist.

Meanwhile you're the one who has to suffer because people like him are directly contributing to keeping you out of the workforce.

They were prompt, professional and really took the time to fit my wants and needs with a position that I both feel comfortable with as well as pay my bills. I've experienced a few other staffing companies only to be ghosted or sent to a job I didn't want so the staffing company makes their numbers. Remedy is DIFFERENT. Thank you Natasha and Shamir, you guys really helped and did the stressful part of job hunting for me.

I've been working with Alliance Personnel now for YEARS and I don't know why I didn't write a…read morereview for them and their professional service and personality. For me and a few of my corporate affiliates, Alliance is hired to provide temporary placement and and sometimes temporary to permanent hire. They work hard to find hires to fit each and every need. The group of women who work here including June who is the owner of the company are by far your "what you see is what you get" type people. There is no fanfare or fluff; just down right employment opportunities. So if like me you may be looking for temporary workers or temporary to permanent, Alliance is the one for you. I can't speak to as the one looking for employment as I've not been in that situation with Alliance. Based on my own experience with Alliance and its staffing, I can honestly say they are in the profession to deliver! Whether you are looking for temporary staff assignments, permanent placements or temporary to hire, Alliance is the place for you. I've not been disappointed ever!

I have worked with Ms. June Fernandez for many years along with several of her staff members and…read morehave found each time that they consistently demonstrate a true caring and understanding of my strengths and limitations. All too often, I have found that people are very hesitant to point out limitations for fear of losing a friend, client, and or customer. June has always pointed out both my strengths in terms of work experiences and skills, as well as my limitations, and I am particularly appreciative of June taking the time to honestly evaluate my limitations which I lack the objectivity to acknowledge. June's wisdom has provided me with tremendous insights which I have used to guide my vocational options. June's staff members have always been extremely professional and have consistently provided me with valuable assistance. I am profound appreciative of June and her staff and I am able to honestly state that Alliance Personnel has provided me with greater customer service than the other staffing agencies that I have attempted to work with over the years.

Aston Carter is formerly known as Aerotek. I moved back to HI in the ending of 2019 and started…read morelooking for work in January 2020 with the job fair at Neal Blaisdell Center when I met and stayed in contact with the recruiter throughout the pandemic. Which I thought was unusual because with other temp agencies, this was never the case. In several attempts with getting me back to work in 2020, with no such luck as the hiring companies also had to pull back positions. And even during all of this, when I did get an "internship" through another entity to acquire technical experience because of the pandemic impact, I needed Aerotek/Aston Carter to provide a letter stating that the position I had applied for fell through. I received a call the same evening I requested such letter at 8 pm. This blew me away as I expected this process would take days or weeks for me to get a response but this wasn't the case. In January 2021 after my internship was completed, I took a week off to before restarting the job hunt. But instead, I got a call from Aston Carter asking if I was available. The job? Patient Service Representative at the mass-Covid Vaccination site at Pier 2! And honestly folks, when the news first came out about this event a few days prior, I knew I wanted to be part of this historic occasion, so my answer was a resounding YES! I wanna help. For the 6-months that I worked at Pier 2, the Aston Carter Account Manager was there, every morning before we started at 7 am. He was always available for us as well as the hosting company. Three-months into the gig, the hosting company allowed us to apply for positions with them. It took me a while to decide as I really enjoyed working with the people at the Pier. As things started to slow down at the Pier, I made the decision to start apply for a position with the hosting company which wasn't hard to do as managers and supervisors from the hosting company were actively recruiting new hires at the Pier. When it came to professional recommendations, our Aston Carter Account Manager was there for each and everyone of us, quickly responding to the hosting company's surveys. And although I am happily employed full-time with the hosting company, this Account Manager allows us to keep in contact with him and responding to messages within an hour. As far as benefits, Aston Carter provided the best and I got my health, vision and dental benefits as soon as I started. No waiting period like other contract agencies. I am thankful to all the team members I have been in contact with at Aston Carter, for all the professional help and advise they have given. As well as their quick response and friendly attitude and genuinely wanting to see me and my co-workers succeed.

There are a…read morenumber of staffing agencies in Honolulu, so there are options if one is on the job hunt, however the staff at Bishop and Company make a job seeker feel like they have a team on their side. They came back to me with offers that fit my criteria that I never found on Craigslist or Monster; and trust me, I was looking. I was contacted quickly, interviewed quickly, and received phone calls, e-mails, and follow ups frequently during my job search. Their testing and screening process is well thought out and helps tailor the types of job the candidate is best suited for, including a factor the candidate's choice of environment. Every job possibility that one of the recruiters offered me was one that fell within the outline that I indicated. At no point did a recruiter try to pressure me into taking a job below my standards just to get a posting completed. I was treated with respect, courtesy, and worth; all qualities that suffer an assault during a job search, especially if it begins to drag on. Bottom line, though their business is a business, they seem genuine in wanting to get the job-seeker hired in a permanent position where they can be successful.

Denelyn stated that she would share my resume and encouraged me to contact her if I had any additional questions. I followed up with Denelyn again on September 8, but I have not received a response. Just crickets. Communication is a fundamental part of the recruiting process. When a recruiting firm reaches out to a potential candidate, follows up, and then stops communicating without explanation, it creates a poor candidate experience and raises concerns about how the firm communicates with the people it represents. Potential candidates and employers considering working with Bishop & Co. should take the company's communication practices into account. Best not to waste your time.
