OfficeTeam contacted me as an employment reference for one of my former employees. The screening…read morequestions were fine, and the OT employee *seemed* kind and perky. She also seemed interested in getting my personal resume and information so I could also be placed in a position (I wasn't looking, but I played along.) I asked her what jobs they had open and she had no answers. She just wanted me to come in and fill out info, bring my SS card, driver license, etc. My *REAL* complaint is how they treated my former employee. Where they placed her and the information they gave to me differed greatly. The place they paced her at was not a "real" company and this "company" (which actually has no real name) asked her to engage in some quasi-illegal/questionable activities. When she called and told OT on her break, (she was actually concerned for her safety as the man was sleazy); they told her to return to the office anyway. Upon later researching the "company" and "owner" she discovered a huge trail of lawsuits. The temp agency did not even bother to research anything, which is their JOB. The "jobs' they have are virtually non-existent; designed to get you to come into their office to gather your personal information, not to actually "place" you. Who knows what they do with your SS number, address, phone number, et cetera. This is my second negative experience with OfficeTeam, and I strongly caution any one who considers utilizing their "services". They are not honest, forthcoming or even concerned for you. They just want their cut.

Lindsay Lombardy of OfficeTeam Cleveland is one of the best placement specialists in Cleveland for…read moreExecutive or C-Level Admin Assistants. Amy is good too. Knowledgeable, caring and worked with me throughout my family issues such as having an elderly grandparent and a child to care for, also through my brother's death. I've worked with them since 2000 in Orange County, CA and Cleveland, OH mostly because I am paid more than most permanent workers AND I have flexibility if the manager is "sleazy" as the other reviewer "Amanda" so aptly put it! Most workers are just stuck with it, especially in the Cleveland job market. Now that I have moved out of state again, they sent over my file to my new city and I'm good to go! Also, just so you know-they recruit "individuals" and once they find out your background they market you "individually" if you have a unique skill-set! Some agencies just deal with the herd and at those agencies-you really are just a number and they'll have 15-20 people placed in one company each earning $8 bucks per hr. while the agency gets $28 per hr. They'll work you until you die and you'll NEVER see a promotion-they will just dust off your chair and place another worker in that same day later that same day! I could name-agency names but I just wont do it. Also, sometimes when you start out you take a not so great assignment just so they can see who you are and also I've covered on short-notice for other employees who are no-shows just to uphold the name of the agency-that way the whole agency will continue to land "Plum" better paying assignments with sensible companies. I'm just saying-that I'm sorry about what seems to have happened to your former employee BUT I know the industry in and out. I ALWAYS MAKE MORE MONEY with OFFICETEAM. No, I'm not being paid to say this. I just stumbled across this page and was surprised by the 1 star review.
