In my case, Apple One handles all the contract details and payroll for a City of Hayward temporary assignment, (the HR department had contacted me directly to ask if I wanted a per diem job), and they do it efficiently. It's my first experience in many years with a staffing agency and it is good for me to realize what is involved in signing on with an agency now. Years ago, I got a position through an agency - temp to perm - and stayed with that firm for many years. Then I went to grad school and have been applying for professional jobs at various libraries. Expect a big investment of time on the applicant's part--almost two hours to deal with all the paperwork (online) and that didn't include skills assessments (because I had covered that in a previous interview with Hayward). So I would expect an even longer investment of time if you are simply looking for office temp work. But when you're unemployed, I guess it is worth it. If you don't have a computer and need to use the public library computers, for example, you will need many extensions of time! But I think AppleOne will let you use their workstation. There are a lot of work-related protocols, rules, and policies that they have to cover, and my reps did it very well. For all the time that we spend on the application process, I am sure an equal amount of time is spent at their end covering all the legal details, and making sure the future employee knows all the rules. I appreciate their very efficient Web timecard system and the weekly paycheck with direct deposit. I work per diem also with City of Oakland and they have NOT automated their timecard system for temp workers. On the other hand, they do direct hire and the temporary part-time worker is represented by the same union as regular workers, and we get better pay. I understand that a smaller city might have to go this route, though. I am interested in using my librarian skills at some outside-of-the-box jobs that are occasionally advertised, but I would have to educate the Apple One rep about which companies and job titles these would be. So I'm not sure I could get job search help here for professional jobs. I got the impression that the temp jobs are mostly administrative assistant/clerical/receptionist type positions. Note: for first time visitors to the Pleasanton office, a map or diagram of where the office is located within an office/shopping complex, would be very helpful. Unless that is part of the assessment test! read more

Lynette, To the entire team, I appreciate you, and the work you all do to help people get placed on assignments. Getting a new job is a big deal and can change someone's life, what you do makes a difference. This position ended up being perfect for me and is helping to positively change my direction. The cake is so good and right on time, I needed some chocolate in my life this morning. read more

Been with the company 6 months josie & Lynette are great! They've made a big change to my life with my set schedule and the hours I HIGHLY recommend job searching is not easy AT ALL after my interview I started work immediately! Love Appleone so much read more

This was my first time working with an employment service agency and the team really made it a great experience. During the process of finding an assignment I worked with Lynette and Valina. Those 2 ladies were so awesome. Lynette really assessed what roles would be best for me based on what was available. She kept me in mind when certain roles came up and was so helpful in the interviewing process which I greatly appreciate. Valina helped with onboarding and clarification on steps once assigned and always helpful whenever I called in. Both very professional yet personable. Very grateful for the team here, if you need a sign to give them a try here it is. read more

My Recruiter Josephine Chavez is very professional in explaining the position I was offered and guided me along the process beginning at the interview through hire read more

To make a long story short : I was the first hired on for this contract with another female she ends up losing the position so Apple one replace her with two new employees not but about two weeks into their new employment with the contract. The two new employees start physical fighting with each other. With me having no parts in the fight they were terminated on site. All I know that I was suppose to return too work for my following shift but some how that changed and I couldn't go back to my contract of employment because I believe the two who started fighting threw threats of suing around or something. All I know was I was suppose to get promoted at the end of the contract. With all this being said Appleone failed me in my job search. I had to keep harassing them for work and they for some odd reason without any explanation will not work with me. When even them and the contract employment told me I had nothing to do with it. Telling me they feel so bad for me but I feel wrongfully terminated and that they could of done better with helping me find a new position but failed me read more

Lynette Walker and Alicia Bundy of AppleOne Employment Services were both instrumental in my landing an interesting and fun consulting role helping create content focusing on interesting legal issues. The onboarding was complex and required going through extensive documentation. Lynette and Alicia were there every step of the way and made an otherwise insurmountable task a pleasant and easy one. They were both great! read more

If I could give them 10 stars...I would! :) I've been registered with AppleOne in Pleasanton for over 5 years now off and on. Crystal Johnson is ALWAYS the person to go to because she aggressively sources open positions and works hard to get you the position that is perfect for you at the rate you deserve. She came through with a position that is PERFECT for me close to home, and at a phenomenal rate! And the customer decided to hire me out DIRECT! Woo-hoo! I can confidently recommend AppleOne to those who are in need of a position or change in career. read more

I was looking to re-enter the workforce for some months now so I was delighted when Josie reached out to me via Indeed! I had contracted through AppleOne a number of years ago and glad to have them in my corner once again. Both Josie and Lynette have been really helpful, but Josie especially has done a great job to understand my needs and match me with a great organization! Many thanks for the efforts!! read more

I cannot begin to say enough good things about my experience with Appleone and my contact Josephine Chavez. Josephine has been nothing short of amazing! She is gracious, generous with her time, realistic, communicative, and, most importantly, honest. She and I have been communicating about a potential opportunity for several weeks. Through every step in the interview process, Josephine has been encouraging, open, and forthright about what their client is looking for and offering excellent advice on how to best present myself and my experiences. While the interview process with the perspective company has taken longer than we would like, she has always been available to answer my call and emails and exceptionally supportive! Her professionalism, experience, and openness have made this whole process easier. I really cannot say enough great things about her or AppleOne. With Josephine, you are in excellent hands with someone who will be your strongest advocate. She is a fantastic resource and someone who truly cares about her clients! Thank you for everything! read more

i have been working with this office since 2019. Lynette Walker is awesome as is the staff. Always friendly. Quick to respond. Really cares what assignment they give me. couldn't ask for better. read more

I have had a great experience with Julie Evans. She placed me in a position that was for a short tim. When they asked for help again she mentioned me and I got the job back. Thank you for all your help and consideration read more

I have had a lot of struggle finding job opportunities and fixing up my resume to stand out towards other candidates and AppleOne Employment has helped me tremendously throughout the process. They serve a great purpose and provide value to each and everyone one of their clients to make you feel helped and heard in your job search. I wanted to give a big thanks to Alicia Bundy at AppleOne as she has helped me not only get more love on my resume but see a purpose in me and my job search. read more

This place sucks. I applied, had an over the cam interview next day and wasn't called on the exact time. I had to call them. On top of that, they're so unorganized it drove me crazy. They claimed to have found me a job (which is great) and during the process they sent me assessments to take. I took the assessments until my recruiter realized he sent me the wrong one. So I wasted my time taking the assessment related to the job I'm trying to apply for. Then he tells me he sent another link to complete another assessment, I check my email and there is no link. How are you even hired as a job recruiter? I'm seriously baffled on how unorganized this company is. They're wasting my time. I'm going to a different job recruiting agency. Stay away! They're terrible! read more

I'm not sure if they deserve such low reviews. I've gotten placed for several jobs with them. I signed up and went through the training which is online and in a room but after that it was smooth sailing. So far, I've been placed at two companies. They've sent my resume out to several companies. A few friends of mine used them in different areas and have gotten full time placements with them. I guess it's all luck and timing. Most of the staff are pretty friendly and helpful whenever I've had a question regarding something at my placement company or just a general, overall question. Not terrible, but not super great either. You can't please everyone. My main factor for giving them an AOK rating is because they've called and placed me more times than others and at a higher rate than other agencies. read more

The team and Lynette were easy to work with and friendly. They were able to get me set up and assigned quickly. I appreciate their swift onboarding and help getting set up in my new position. Thank you! read more

Would not recommend this AppleOne Pleasanton location at all. Josephine Chavez is so unprofessional and NON-RESPONSIVE. She does not respond to emails or return phone calls at all. You typically have to send 3 or 4 emails. She responds weeks later, like she didn't go 3 weeks completely ignoring you and all the emails and voicemails that you left her. If she says she is submitting you for a position. She won't follow up at all and leaves you in the dark. By time she responds the position was filled and she has nothing to say, as to why she never followed up with you. She does not care about her clients or her job with AppleOne. Not sure why she is there because she does absolutely nothing but make a bunch of empty promises and never follows up and completely ignores you. This seems to be the way AppleOne operates. If you looking for a low paying job that you have to beg for a response from your recruiter. This is the place for you. Just hope you don't get signed on with Josie/Josephine because she clearly hates her job and will never respond to you. You would be lucky to get a response from her once a month. After sending several emails and leaving voicemails. read more

I've used several agencies and Appleone has been the only company that has been diligent in finding work for me. My agent Alexandria San Feilpe, has always displayed professionalism and is very knowledgeable in the field. She has been very instrumental in matching my skills and abilities with the appropriate job opportunities, If you are looking for a agent or agency with fast turn around, professionalism and who will work for you, I recommend Alexandria at the Appleone Agency. You won't be disappointed. Best regards, Wendy Higgins read more

I wanted to thank the apple one team for always having a job on demand when needed. I'm so thankful to have Lynette whenever there is a job opening she gives me a call. Thank you also Valina for always being patient with me,figuring out the apple ones time sheet submissions. Peace and blessings. #Appleonerocks read more

Was unable to get help from my recruiter she had an attitude with me all she cared about was the client and had absolutely no regard for me, I called and asked if I was going to lose my job and she flat out lied and said that the client really liked me. I know that not to be true at all because they talked horribly to me every day. read more

This review is for the Pleasanton branch location. My first impression of the place was a positive one. The AE that was assigned to me seemed friendly and like she genuinely wanted to help. She made a list of possible companies she had "connections" with and thought I'd be a good fit for. Never heard back from any of them. I can understand if companies you apply to don't keep you updated, but the person trying to help you find a job shouldn't keep you in the dark 90% of the time. I've left messages, and emails for other jobs I was interested in, and I just wouldn't get a response. Worse is when my AE said she'd make a call and find out if a particular job is still available, and then just not hear back, Total waste of my time. I've since switched branch locations (Fremont). Completely different (and positive) experience. If you decide to use Appleone, I'd start there. read more

My "supposed" account executive was a TOTAL bitch. I was even told by them that they were impressed with my high scores on my tests and my work experience. There have been 3 jobs posted online that I was qualified for AFTER I took the tests and interviewed with them.Think that will get me anywhere? No, because my account executive is a "holier than thou" bitch. When I called her to follow-up, she told me she was busy with writing her Christmas cards and would call me back later. Well, later never came. When I sent an email once I saw the first position posted she snapped back with a pissy email response. The ONLY email I have received from them was a group email sent to about 10 other people (Apple One didn't use a courtesy bcc) asking for everyone's availability. If you want to work with a complete bitch that won't help you, then this is the place for you!! For me, it was a COMPLETE waste of time!! I don't even bother with them anymore. They really should be reported to AppleOne corporate. read more

Very hopeful and helpful up front - makes you feel like there will be immediate and amazing results. They have all the usual forms and tests etc. and a really organized feeling initial interview process. The only time I heard from these people after that however was when i called them or when they had the nerve to send me a survey about this place. :( Definitely the worst agency in the area. read more

I'm gonna go ahead and have to agree with everyone on this one, Appleone will not get you a job. Its so deseiving because you look on monster and see all these AppleOne postings. I decided it would be a smart idea to join with them if I wanted a shot at all these jobs. I'm realizing now that all those postings seem the same and theres a reason for it, I don't think they exist! I had to go through the ridiculous video as well and even did excel and word tests. My account executive, LeeAnn, was very nice and gave me a brief interview. She said she'd send me the tests to take and we'd go from there. I took the tests immediatly and heard nothing for a week. I called and when she looked me up in the computer the type of job I wanted and my salary minimum were wrong....those are like the two most important facts for temp jobs. So she said "I will let you know, things are picking up so you'll hear from me soon". The last thing I head was a few weeks letter. It was an email saying that "LeeAnn has moved on and will no longer be working with AppleOne". Great. The signed me up to someone named Nicole and I followed up with her immediatly and have heard nothing from her since. This company is B/S! read more

AppleOne has probably been one of the WORST agencies I have worked with since graduating. For the past 2 years, I have been trying to contact with a recruiter, and no one is ever available. Not too sure what the issue is here, but I expected so much more. Quite disappointing. read more

It's one of those Agency things where you are told you are an Excellent Candidate and never hear from them again. I tried for a couple of years to get some kind of regular correspondence going and I hit a dead end every time. I then decided my luck at the Apple One in Oakland and my luck was the same. I called one day and my representative was gone only to be replaced by another person that never helped me. And they make you watch video's on Customer Service? read more

I agree, this place really sucks! No follow ups, no nothing. At all! At all! I took all the friggin' tests, but still nothing, & more nothing. Oh! And during our so-called "interview". What a joke of an interview that was, she yawned! How rude! Really really rude! read more

After actually being a staffing consultant for AppleOne, I didn't seek additional help in my next career search except with AppleOne! The ladies here at the Pleasanton location are extremely helpful in giving me advice on how to make myself more marketable as a job candidate as well as letting me in on job openings that may be a good fit for me. I will repeat, AppleOne helps and assists seekers in their search and allows your resume to be more visible to hiring managers at different companies. TAKE NOTE: Those hiring managers at each company will ultimately make those decisions whether you are hired or not. With that said, AppleOne has done an amazing job getting my resume out there and I am completely satisfied. My staffing consultant helped me recognize my skills and talked to me about opportunities they see would be a good fit. They told me about a temp (5 week) opportunity and although I was only looking for full-time/direct hire jobs, I took it anyway. 1.5 years later, I am now full-time at the same company. AppleOne presented me with an opportunity, and I made the most of it! Highly recommend this seasoned and experienced team if you need help with your job search! read more

I don't like Appleone cause you know why? they make you work for free. I worked 32 hours one week and they only paid for for 13.5 hours. Like what the hell is wrong with you people? Ain't nothing free working like I'm so pissed off right now. My time card where you need to put in your time you start work and time you finished work, well that needs some improving because apparently they said I didn't work the full shifts on same days but I know damn sure I did. read more

The staff at AppleOne in Pleasanton was very kind and attentive. It's a very friendly and laid back, yet professional environment. Everyone welcomes you with a smile! I had the pleasure of working with 2 of the agents in this branch. Both were very professional and knew how to do their job well. I appreciated their communication with me throughout the process of finding a job. They even help you tweak your resume to make it more appealing to employers! Overall, this is a fantastic service. Friendly employees who are competent, genuine, and helpful! read more

This review applies to the Fremont and Pleasanton locations: Have you ever been at the beach and seen 30 surfers go after the same wave? You'll find after calling and speaking with any number of their phone receptionists and recruiters that they've got no room on the ledger for new appointments. Then they'll tell you that they'll call you in the event that you're a match for blah-blah position, which I might add, the call never comes. Even if you check-in with them regularly. If you 'did' manage to get an appointment with a recruiter there's a very high probability that you'll get a phone call the day before(like I did) informing you that due to the lack of appointment space your appointment with " " the recruiter has been cancelled. Not postponed to a later date and time to be rescheduled... cancelled. The real joke is when the AppleOne survey shows up in your email three days later questioning the quality of your experience with AppleOne and the recruiter that you'd been screened by!!! This isn't fiction folks. This was my experience with AppleOne. read more

Can I give a negative star? The manager Michele is clearly NOT doing her job. Mine seems to be just another story about this place - she never followed up with me on my resume (I had even hand-delivered it!) There was a weird, disconnected vibe to the place - no warm and cozy receptionist to make one feel comfortable. There was not one iota of a positive "feel" to it. The office was messy looking, which is always off putting. In the end, it all boils down to management -- it all rolls downhill - tone and expectations and who THEY hire to work in their office!!! Stay away, Yelpers! You are really wasting your valuable time with Apple - we can't ALL be wrong, right?! : () read more

This by far has been my best experience with a temp agency. As soon as I came in, Wagma greeted me and helped me get setup to take the exams. She even offered me a beverage (very sweet). As soon as my exams were completed, I was able to meet the lovely Rosie F. who made me feel so comfortable! I truly felt she cared and had my best interest in mind. I had a wonderful interview and applied for a position right away! I'm truly blessed to have found such a caring team! I can't wait for what's to come next! Keep up the Great work Ladies! Looking forward to working with you. read more

This place is still full of false promises.. Luckily I've found a job through a better staffing agency.

I signed up with AppleOne (should be renamed AppleZero) about a month ago. I took all the tests and was told by my AE that she had a job for me that was a good match. Well, its been over a month now and I have called my AE every week and also sent in online email stating my availability and have not heard anything back! I am extremely disappointed and discouraged with this company. Go somewhere else and good luck! read more

Apple One is the best resource (Pleasanton Branch) to help me to find the perfect job I am going to enjoy and learn lot in my future. Josephine Chavez and her co-workers are helpful, friendly and positive. They called me always before the meetings with them. Josephine is very professionalism and knowledgeable in the field. She met me to understand my skills and abilities, and offered me some of the matching job opportunities. Now I am very happy to start a new job in a new business field. read more

TERRIBLE BRANCH!!!! A bunch of stuck up lazy females work here... Ohh you're such a strong candidate.. You did so well on all your tests.. You should be placed super quickly.. Crock of sh1t. Total waste of time.. I gotta say it seems as though they all have their heads up their you know whats.. I found an amazing job with great pay all on my own.. Don't present me with a job that makes 14.00/ hr when all my past jobs were 18+.. TWO THUMBS DOWN! read more

Josie is my Apple One rep and she is amazing! I have never had someone as caring or compassionate helping me in achieving my goals. She helped me find a great full time position. Every person I encountered at Apple One was caring and very helpful. I highly recommend using their services. read more

No return calls or emails, they should at least have the courtesy of updating you on your job search to let you know they are still trying to get you something. If you are given a job description and are interested and you let them know, they should at least give you an update to let you know its no longer available you do not fit the employers needs etc. They should not just leave you hanging and wondering weeks later am i still being considered. You are left just wondering because your emails or calls are not being returned. read more

Appleone is a waste of time, I signed up with them June 2008, and it been a whole year and nothing from them. The lady I was working with she was good she always kept in contact with me but after she left another lady took over my file and I haven't heard anything from her. I called and sent her emails no response. I had better experience at Spherion and Randstad they were able to found me something quick and long term. Appleone is bull sh!t, the girls that work there are a joke and don't take their job seriously to found people work. Shari was the best recruiter there but she's no longer there; the other ladies are a waste of time. I'm not writing this to put them down, they suck bad; other people have complained about there service. read more
