Working with Anna Browne Robinson at AppleOne was truly one of the best experiences I've ever had with a recruiter. Being unemployed is an incredibly stressful time, filled with uncertainty, fear, and a lot of nervous waiting. During a time like that, having someone in your corner makes an enormous difference--and that is exactly how I felt from the moment I started working with Anna. I cannot express how much easier she made this entire process for me. She walked me through every step, presented me with several opportunities, listened to what I was actually looking for, and never made me feel like I was just another candidate to place somewhere. When we found the position I really wanted, I honestly felt as though I had my own advocate representing my interests to the prospective employer. Anna was there when I was nervous before interviews, helped me prepare, explained what to expect, answered my questions, and kept me informed throughout the process. I genuinely felt like my hand was being held from beginning to end--and during such a stressful period of my life, that meant more to me than she probably realizes. Anna has the rare combination of being incredibly professional while also being genuinely caring, thoughtful, and human. You can tell that she doesn't simply want to fill a position--she cares about finding the right opportunity for the person she is working with. Anna, thank you for your patience, your encouragement, your professionalism, and for being in my corner when I needed it most. You made a difficult and frightening period of my life so much easier to navigate. AppleOne is incredibly fortunate to have you, and so was I. I could not recommend Anna more highly. read more

I have worked with Apple One for a number of years. Ive had many assignments using their services. I had to take a minute to give KUDOS and flowers to my staffing agent LORI MANDEL STONE. Ive known Lori many years and shes helped me find work and shes been a true advocate to me over the years. She always takes my call - and for me that speaks volumes. She is the real deal. She REALLY cares. She "gets it". She's not just a "temp agent", she understands the job market and that we are real people looking to pay our bills and take care of our families. The job market has changed drastically, we all feel it, and Lori doesnt sugar coat or placate - she rolls up her sleeve to see how she can help. Lori is great at her job and I wish her much success. read more

"I had an awesome experience working with Appleone! My recruiter, Lori M. was incredibly responsive, supportive, and truly took the time to understand my skills and career goals. They matched me with a great company for a temporary assignment, which ultimately led to a full-time job offer. I highly recommend them to anyone in a career transition! read more

Unfortunately, my experience with some of AppleOne's Glendale recruiters has been extremely disappointing. After our initial conversation, I never received any meaningful follow-up from Mike or Diana Flores. Despite promises to send over opportunities and updates, nothing ever came. I followed up multiple times and was either ignored or given vague responses. Diana never responds back to emails or phone calls even though she has initiated the call. It felt like they completely forgot about me after the first call. If you're looking for a recruiter who will actually support your job search or keep you informed, I would recommend looking elsewhere. read more

I can't say enough about the great experience I had using the AppleOne Agency to find a job. I am so impressed with how Diana, Cynthia and Anna were on top of everything!!! I received a notice from another agency about the same job opportunity a day after Anna had already scheduled me for an interview for the same job. Diana, the first contact I had at AppleOne, really put me at ease and was diligent in interviewing me and assessing what jobs would be a good match and I genuinely enjoyed interacting with her. Cynthia, too, was right on the ball following up with many details, seeing that nothing fell through the cracks. I highly recommend using AppleOne to find a good job. read more

This Temp Agency was not bad, the recruiter I worked with was horrible. She lied to me and when I told her how bad I was treated at the temp job I was offered to be at for two weeks, she had a hard time believing me. She also said she worked with people who were more qualified and had degrees. read more

My experience with Apple one, did not meet my expectations. I was referred by family members who have worked with Apple one and had good experiences in the past but when I went to the Glendale location I was turned away by a sign that said online interviews only, with a number to call. So I immediately called and when the woman asked what experience I had I said I only have 4 years of customer service experience but I'm willing to learn any skills necessary. I've never been so embarrassed, the woman's response was so rude she sighed and said "yeah... we don't work with restaurant people." I was so taken back by her rude tonality and response that I got nervous and apologized. I then asked if she knew of any entry level employment services and she flat out told me "no." I've never had such a unpleasant experience and from what my family has said, Apple one used to help people with entry level positions and obtaining the skills required for those positions so it was really sad to see the unwillingnessly of the representative over the phone. If anyone knows of any other employment services available I'd love to hear about it. read more

It has been over a year now since I got my first assignment with AppleOne. After six weeks of temping, I got hired into my company at a full time capacity. My consultant, Cheryl, and the manager, Dominique, paid a couple visits to my workplace to check in and see how I was doing with my new position and to meet my teammates. (Shoutout because they are so lovely!!) I'm still so thrilled about how my experience with AppleOne played out and how it truly was a great fit. I love my job and the people I work with. read more

Working with Apple One Glendale has been a good experience. Looking for new employment can be draining and tiring, but in staying consistent to find what you want and connecting with the right recruiter are important. Kristine A at Apple One at the Glendale location has been a so helpful in looking for employment for me that meets my needs. She has been attentive, caring, friendly and supportive. I recently had an interview with a company and the morning of the interview Kristine called me to wish me well and even wanted to do a quick mock interview. I appreciate the effort and support Kristine has given me during my employment search. If you're looking for a supportive, caring, friendly team that is supportive in your employment search, call Apple One Glendale, you won't be disappointed! Ask for Kristine A. read more

Anne Brown from the Glendale California office is amazing. She kept in touch with me every step of my journey. I am now a full-time employee because of Anne. After they announced my new position Anne called me to congratulate me. I would recommend her to everyone who is looking for a employment. If anyone sees this review I highly recommend Anne Brown from AppleOne from the Glendale, Ca office. read more

I worked with the AppleOne in Glendale. My rep Anna Browne Robinson is simply the best! I did my interview with her in March, and she got me out there working right away. She is very detailed, organized and responsive. She is someone you want in your corner in finding a job. She helped me find a temp job with a great company and now I work for them full time. Thank you, Anna for the support and your hard work. read more

I was looking forward to the opportunity to work with AppleOne. I scheduled an interview with the Pasadena office and called a few days ahead to confirm the details. During my conversation with their helpful staff, they suggested I reach out to the Glendale branch because they thought my background in the entertainment industry would be a better fit there. I rescheduled the interview and called the branch to confirm the details a few days before my appointment. I spoke with a woman who made me feel discouraged and unemployable. There was no constructive criticism, no guidance, just a firm belief that my work history and experience were unsuitable for employment. I expressed my willingness to do any job and to receive feedback on my resume to improve my chances of being hired for a secretarial or office processing position, but she was not receptive. AppleOne could not offer me a position, so I removed my resume. I ended that call feeling very disheartened and uncertain about my prospects. I was open to feedback; all I received was a blunt and unhelpful "no." I understand AppleOne is not a charity, and I'm not entitled to anything. However, considering my 15+ years of project-based office and managerial experience, especially when many skilled individuals seek opportunities in fields different from their original careers, I would expect more of a conversation or some constructive feedback. That was not the case. read more

Apple one is most of the most beautiful places to work. They have loved me sinced I first started. I tell them all them time I love them and they say it back. Anne Browne called me and checked on me several times when I was sick, not to fire me but to check on me. She saw I missed days and she called me and told me I had sick hours. She emailed my employer and explained my situation and I'm still working at Huntington hospital, because of her. I would highly recommend Anne Browne and the rest of the Apple team to find you long term employment, because at this point I would rather stay with them than to get hired on by a permanent employer. Thank you Anne I love you so much I hope you do well in life! read more

A huge thank you for helping me land my new job! Your team's support and guidance were instrumental in finding the perfect fit for me. I'm thrilled with the outcome and couldn't have done it without you. Thank you AppleOne! read more

I recommend Kristine with Apple One. She was great to work with and worked effectively to find a company that was a fit for my skill set and experience. read more

I needed to go back to work Asap and I explained this to the workers at Apple One and they found a me a job in hours. I'm very excited to start my new job today and liked the personal responsibility, to speak to somebody about what I liked and disliked in what I saw in my last job. I would recommend it very much read more

I am a big fan of the AppleOne Glendale, I have worked for them on and off for 22 years now. Love Janet and Linda on the temporary side, and love Dominique on the direct hire side. I've worked with the Studios and Property Management. Dominique got me a direct hire job with a reputable non-profit firm in Property Management. I'm grateful. I highly recommend this branch. read more

I recently worked with Diana F. from Apple One Glendale. She was absolutely stellar! She was attentive, friendly, caring, and actively put me up for jobs. I ended up getting a full time position before landing any temp jobs, but I appreciate how much effort she gave to me while I was actively looking for work. read more

I chose Apple One in my recent job search because they were the Agency I went to years ago where I landed a good job in the entertainment industry that lasted for many years until corporate restructuring moved my job out of state. So I was an older worker now suddenly forced to look for work again. I tried sending resumes, & was able to successfully land interviews on my own, but being an older worker, nobody would consider me upon seeing me in person. So I went back to Apple One for help. They assured me they work with companies who have committed to anti-ageism policies in their hiring practices. I was sent on my first interview the following week. That very first company called me back for a second interview, & shortly thereafter I learned I was being offered the position. So I highly recommend using Apple One. They meant what they said, and I was able to find another good job where my age wasn't held against me. read more

Thank you Wanda at AppleOne in Glendale, CA!!!! She was able to assist me with finding my new work opportunity at a great company. Wanda and her great assistant were so kind and helpful. read more

I REALLY, REALLY, REALLLYYY planned to completely off-set the horrible reviews of all of the Apple One locations. I tried to go into the situation with a clean slate and not expect much and therefore, not be too disappointed. Well, that didn't work so well and you can add me to the negative reviews. Perhaps, Apple One should hire the hundreds of employees it is supposedly trying to find work for and fire the current staff because they aren't doing a very good job. I initially interviewed at a Act-1 location which is the sister company of Apple One so you can cross register. They were going to send my info over to the Apple One in Sherman Oaks for me to interview with them. The Sherman Oaks Apple One proceeded to tell me they focus on medical jobs versus the entertainment industry which is my field so they will keep me on file but that they can't really help me. However, they suggested to try this Glendale location because they specifically work with the big-name entertainment company contenders. I called this location to make an appointment at which the receptionist told me that they can't help me because I am "overqualified". Basically, although they work with entertainment companies and I have a wonderful background which such; my background is in the marketing realm with actual marketing titles like "Marketing Rep", for example. They said that although I am capable and willing to do clerical jobs, I am overqualified and the companies pass up such resumes favoring people that ONLY have worked clerical jobs. Although, disappointed and surprised, I was glad with her honesty. Then, I realized they are bullshit and why the reviews are so low. I proceeded to check their website and the SAME DAY I was told I'm overqualified; a position as a Publicity Assistant for an entertainment company was posted which is EXACTLY my background. I was very upset and annoyed. I called to ask why I was told they can't meet with me but here is a job I'm NOT overqualified for. The woman, in an annoyed tone, said "fine" I can come in next week. I don't even know if I want to go in. The damage has been done. Unemployment doesn't discriminate... maybe they shouldn't either. read more

I must have gotten a grouchy recruiter or I reminded her of someone she just does NOT like! Given these tumultuous times and the stress of being unemployed bc of Covid, finding the right job has taken on a new meaning! I am an experienced executive assistant and want to make sure the jobs I apply to, not only tick all the boxes, but are relevant to my background and to the potential employer's. The recruiter (at the Glendale location) and I, connected on a zoom call after a couple hiccups. Then, while on the Zoom call, something happens with her sound, so she had to call me, which was fine. I continued to tell her about my past work experience and wanted to be upfront with the types of companies I was interested in working for. I was hopeful, the recruiter was at least taking into consideration my background and not just a commission. The job she called me about had absolutely nothing to do with what I was looking for and was 15 plus miles away. Which, in LA traffic terms, means an hour to an hour and a half, one way. I could tell she was just going through the motion and not really listening to me. She was cold, she looked so over the interview, I just wanted to hang up. Oh... I left out her impatient disrespectful sighs over the phone which where very AUDIBLE! To make a long story even longer.... At the end of the Zoom interview, she thought she had disconnected, however, she had NOT hung up her phone, and I heard her say to someone... "kill me...". I even commented, haha I heard that, "kill me..." She hung up her phone without even an apology or some quasi believable excuse! Not sure who runs this office, but it would be a good idea to remind the recruiters, they need US more than we need their services! The recruiter's name begins with a "W" and she's middle-age, just like me. DEF... will NOT use this agency. read more

I worked with Diana Flores and she was really amazing. She takes the time to really listen to what your employment plans are to ensure that it's a good fit wherever you're placed. I started as a temp and was able to get a permanent job after 5 months. She also placed others at the same company I'm at - they also started out as temps and were made permanent and they all had nothing but good things to say about her, too. I really appreciated how she also checked in periodically to see how things were going, too. I highly recommend her. read more

At first I was skeptical about using AppleOne but I think everyone starts off that way. I am glad that Yunior was my recruiter because helped me every step of the way and even landed me a great job. Not only did I appreciate his urgency but the whole AppleOne team in Glendale. I highly recommend giving AppleOne (Glendale) a try, specially if you're in the Los Angeles area, Valley, it doesn't matter. I am from Monrovia and they still were able to find the perfect job for me. read more

Nobody likes looking for work, it's impersonal, causes anxiety... or maybe that's just me and I've revealed too much about myself. Man I wish I could go back and not type that. Well nothing I can do about that now, moving on. I noticed jobs that fit my skills on AppleOne's website, so I applied and Sara from Glendale called me in for an interview she was very professional and friendly and was always in contact with me providing updates and letting me know she was working on getting me back to work. Got results immediately second interview landed me a job that was a perfect fit. Very pleased with my experience Sara and Sandra were the best and highly recommend them. read more

I guess if you are seeking for minimum wage job you may have some luck with them, otherwise I found them extremely unorganized, unprofessional, and rather careless about their clients, I was both side of spectrum as I was looking for a full time job for myself while hiring for one of my partnerships ... they disappointed me in both sections. I won't name anyone here as a respect but they acted like your life depends on them, zero follow ups, even barely responding to your own follow ups with them .... Then I had to deal with an attitude (semi racist) reaction of their employees. It's a great example of what a service industry should NOT be, but here we are. read more

I had the pleasure of meeting Anna Browne Robinson of AppleOne's Glendale office in my search for strategic job placement opportunities that resonate both with my previous work experience as well as to the new direction in which I wish to forge my career. Anna is a great listener and has a keen ability to pinpoint what her clients needs are, their strengths and how best to navigate the job market in accordance to her client's vision for themselves as well as what positions speak to that vision. Anna was immensely helpful in helping me with my career goals as she understands no two people or "job seekers" are alike. On both a professional and personal level I found her to be very understanding, clear in communication and resourceful. I would recommend her to anyone seeking the services of AppleOne as she left a great impression on me. read more

This place is a great place to go if you'd like strictly temp or long-term assignments. I was placed in a few great long-term assignments and a few temp positions here and there to fill in the gaps. Everyone at the Glendale branch is truly helpful and works hard to get you work. Anna Browne-Robinson is the BEST!!! The moment I met her we clicked and she was out there submitting my resume, talking me up and getting me great positions! I highly recommend this employment agency and Anna Browne-Robinson!!! They also work together within this branch and other branches to secure work for you to, which is very helpful! Come check them out and see what you think! read more

I went to apple one based on the recommendation that it was the "best" temp agency in town. I am a graduate student and needed a job for the summer. I thought, oh, of course I can get some crappy office job from the temp agency. I went in first day and filled out all the forms, which took about an hour and a half. Tons of forms that sign away your privacy, enable background checks, etc. On these you have the opportunity to check off skills like exel, word, quickbooks, etc. I did this. Instead of taking my word for knowing these skills (which I know from working for years in management/administration level positions), they needed me to take tests to prove what I checked. So, I took the tests: data entry, typing, entourage, excel, quickbooks, word. It took about 6 hours. I had to go in two days to complete them. I passed them all with high scores. Then I was supposed to start calling in 3 times a week to tell them I was available to work. Um, if I weren't available to work, I wouldn't be at Apple One. Did they EVER have work for me? NO. I signed up and began calling at the beginning of July. I also "cross-registered" with all of their branches. I finally got a call yesterday. By now, I am back in school.... I already spent my summer in poverty. They wanted to know if I was available to work a temporary assignment first week of October for 90 minutes. 90 MINUTES? Are they f*&%%n kidding me? As if it would be worth my time to work ANY job for 90 minutes? This place has no jobs. I have a bachelors degree from a very prestigious liberal arts college, 4 years high level work experience, a plethora of skills, and am almost done with my masters degree. And it's not like I was prepared to be picky about work assignments. They literally never offered me anything until the 90 minutes of work yesterday. THIS PLACE IS AN UTTER WASTE OF YOUR TIME. I had much more luck looking for jobs and getting interviews myself. read more

Spent over an hour completing the application online. Then went into the office where I spent several more hours completing forms, taking paper tests, the Microsoft Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and Outlook tests, and the typing test. Scored great on every single one. Called three times a week between 8:00-9:00AM for five straight weeks letting them know I was available for work. Kept my employment status up to date on their website. Not a single job, interview, call back, anything. They tell me right now only people who've already gotten jobs through them are getting callbacks, and no one else is getting jobs. Whatever the hell else you can grade a temp agency on, first and foremost, you grade them on their ability to find you a job. Apple One failed. read more

I'm with Veronica on this one. Some of you just seem like you're never going to be pleased no matter what. It's a temp agency, and frankly, the job market completely sucks. So, those of you complaining and saying "OMG I CALL EVEYR DAY AND NOTHING!!1one!!!11!one"...well, guess what? That's the way things are right now. They suck. Things are pretty bad in the job market, ladies and gents, so just deal with it. Looks like you're just gonna have to work harder to get what you want. I actually have a lot of sympathy for them. I don't envy being the one to have to tell a ton of people every day that there's simply nothing out there right now. I'm sure many of you are qualified, but the reality is, they have to sift through an ungodly amount of resumes/applications every day to fill a small number of positions. To those of you complaining about having to call every day...guess what that does? It keeps you fresh on their minds for when new positions come up, so even if you don't get a job for a few weeks, they know you're looking and that you want to work. It WILL pay off, trust me. Based on what I've read from some of you, I'm not surprised you haven't found work because some of you act as if you're entitled to a job. I have a degree from a top public university, but I've had no problems whatsoever working odd jobs to make ends meet. I've worked as a server, law office courier, dishwasher, landscaper, actor, audio/video technician...anything to keep me busy and my cash flow strong. That's just the nature of our situation today; those who put in the effort will be rewarded. I've been with AppleOne since May and there were periods of time where they simply didn't have something. That didn't stop me from calling every day, finding a full-time job IS a full-time job. If you filled out an application, took all the tests, and filled out the paperwork for AppleOne...then sat back waiting for a job...guess what? You're an idiot. You should be using multiple avenues of approach to find work, not simply sending off anonymous resumes online for an hour then calling it a day. Think about the number of people doing that every day (thousands) and the person who sifts through the resumes. You're about as likely to win the lottery than you are to be responded to after sending an anonymous resume online. I informed AppleOne that I would work any job they had come up, no matter what it was, every single time I called. Every. Single. Time. Additionally, every job I worked through AppleOne, whether it was with Disney or a small business nobody's ever heard of, I personally thanked my supervisor and sent them Thank-You notes for allowing me to work for them...and guess what, I eventually landed a long-term gig with a great company (actually, it's my 2nd time working for this company). People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care. I'm grateful for all the hard work the employees of AppleOne do for me and everybody else struggling to find work. They've been a major reason why my 2010 has gone pretty well when it could have been a disaster financially. So thank you, AppleOne. I appreciate your employees hard work very much and am looking forward to working with them in the future. read more

My recruiter was young but professional. With AppleOne, I felt they sent me on jobs that were my current level or a bit lower. They definitely didn't take the chance to submit me to higher positions like another recruiter did. They salaries of the jobs I got submitted to seemed like average for Los Angeles, which could be a good or bad thing depending on what one's level or expectations. I actually ended up getting my own job pretty quickly that allowed me to travel the world and did not have much time to progress with them. My advice is to use recruiters as a resource but never to fully rely on one. They are only a certain percentage of the job market and it's best to make yourself available to a larger percentage by still continuing your own search. read more

The Glendale branch has been responsive and professional through all my contacts and assignments. I have enjoyed my Temporary assignments at great companies giving me experience in diverse environments and with positive people. I recommend Yunior as a contact and recruiter as he is responsive and professional on my assignment. His timeliness and follow up are a plus. read more

I applied for a job and ended up getting a call from AppleOne. For reasons beyond me, they wanted me to drive all the way out to Glendale instead of the nearby office just so I could speak with one particular agent/lady/whatever. First of all, when I apply for a job listing that says $35k a year, I am applying for THAT JOB, not a temp agency. Unfortunately, I was mistaken in believing that maybe I could find a permanent or temp-to-hire job through these guys. So I went anyways. When I arrived, I had to fill out ANOTHER series of forms on top of the hour-long online application I completed the night before. I then had to watch a time-consuming video teaching common sense and take an absurdly simple test on the computer. When I finally spoke to the woman I came out there for, she wasn't exactly the nicest person around. I've encountered worse, but it was obvious that she was in a rush to get to the next person. She only glanced at my resume, mentioned one job was available (which I was never contacted about), and moved on to the next poor sucker. All in all, it was a waste of ~3 hours. I understand that the economy is still floundering and there aren't a lot of jobs out there, but I'm annoyed that they posted a job, called me in for an interview that had nothing to do with it, and made me drive forty-five minutes one way for absolutely no reason whatsoever. If I'm not qualified for the job, leave me alone. Don't make me drive a half hour in good traffic to apply for your mediocre temp agency that, judging from the other reviews here, can't seem to place people. read more

Caller: Hi, my name is Jane, from Apple One, and we need to get some employment Verification from one of you ex-employees. Do you have a minute? That one phone call alone was the beginning of the end. First of all, there was no employee by that name or ss#. Effing Fishing expedition.....Second, this recruiter/con artist caught me at the perfect time as I was having some difficulty finding help for the office. Although I think the sales rep was actually quite honest, and respectful, I believe the load of bullshit that the Apple One Company spews is absolutely useless. They say they test to find the right type of employees for You and YOU alone. As my old Geometry teacher use to say...."BULL PUCKY". They find the most perfect useless, undriven, workers out there. 15 Interviews. 6 Job Offers of the 15. Two quit less than a week into the job. Others declined the offer because it lacked benefits AND it didnt pay a minimum of 15-18 per hour. Dude.....what happened to earning your way to that pay scale? Nothing in life is handed for free. I had bad experience before (about 12 years ago), which I should've learned my lesson from the first time. Buyer beware....you DO NOT GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR! read more

When I called back to speak to my recruiter, I was told she left the company along with most of the office, and to call back in 3 months, because the woman I was speaking to hadn't seen like that in 15+ years. Good luck/WHAT THE FUCK! read more

Wanda went above and beyond for me. She stayed in contact through the process and I truly appreciate her.

A misleading agency. They don't help job seeker find work or call back! Is their anything that can be done to report these agencies??? Its a waste of time to everyone to get prepared, drive in traffic, find expensive parking, fill out endless paperwork, test, meet and greet for Nothing! They are NOT helping the job force and they are misleading job seekers- read more

Haven't needed a temp job in about 8 years, but seems like they're the same old disorganized crappy horrible mean people they were back then. Even though it was 8 years ago, I'll never forgive them for telling me I needed to take my college education OFF of my resume because it "might intimidate future employers". read more

I have worked with Apple One in Glendale for many years, they are great!
