I've used their services for years cause clearly i'll never learn my lesson. I've had nothing but bad experiences with them. Whenever i am looking for a job, i am asked to come in, fill out a job application and meet with their headhunters. But i've used their services multiple times. Why is my info not saved in your database? The odd part is, i keep getting asked to come and interview with the same headhunter over and over again. You've met me already. How many times do you need to look at me to perform invisible biased? This means judging me by my looks, height, weight, ethnicity, and whether i am perky enough to send out, etc. It goes on and on. Here is the thing, if they want to collect resumes to sell them to third parties for $$ (allegedly) they should say so. Its so pathetic, unproductive, and just an insult to constantly waste my time and yours to provide false hope. This place is so packed and busy because they are so skilled at creating this illusion they are in high demand with tons of jobs, as if they are placing jobs for everyone in all of NYC and some parts of NJ. That couldn't be the furthest thing from the truth. They are actors getting a paycheck to appear as busy bodies. Sign me up. I wanna get a paycheck and do nothing all day. The last time i was in here, i let the headhunter have it. I called him out on his BS. I told him: Do you seriously want to get me a job or just waste my time? Do you want commission $$ or not? All you do is collect resumes. I've used your services so many times and its been nothing but a dead end. You don't think its odd the last 4 times i used you, i ended up getting a job all on my own? He gagged in silence and just couldn't take my brutal honesty. I wonder how he pays his rent because he surely is not helping anyone in the 5 boros land a job. To close things off, i ended up finding a job all on my own the last 5 times that i was in the market. That is 5 times they missed out on their commission $$ (thousands of dollars). Here is the thing, i am your secondary client. The firm you are recruiting for is your primary client. I get that. But when i send an email asking for a status update, i expect a response. Typing: NO UPDATE is easy. No one is asking for their first born child or a blood sample. I drop to drop everything for them, but they can't type a 5 second email to provide a status update? Really?!? Every time i ask if they are working on any new jobs, i get dead air. This firm really has a pair of elephant sized balls. How they don't bleed when he walks is beyond me. Just unbelievable. I wish them well even though they missed out on commission $$ 5 times in a row. GOOD LUCK!!!!!!

This is honestly, the only worthwhile staffing agency I've been to…read more Prior to ICS, I had gone to 2 other agencies where they basically took my resume and never heard from again. Although I have yet to find a job, the recruiter I'm working with is definitely a gem to work with. She's always calling and emailing to find out how my job search is going and to give me details on new job openings. She has already gotten me 2 interviews. I interviewed for one job I didn't really like but she found me another interview at another company not long after that. Let's see how this 2nd interview goes...

Much to Phil H.'s protest for staffing agency, I am still pursued by them unavoidable with great dismay. The recruiter who I was assigned was very understanding and compassionate to take the time learning of my background and career goals after completing an application. The end result furnished into the void for Lerner Cumbo & Associate to be categorized as another ordinary staffing agency. Note: Entrance is on 41st Street, despite of the actual address on Madison Avenue.

This is the first recruitment agency I've dealt with, so I can't speak on how they compare to…read moreothers, but my experience with AscendHire truly set the bar and their professionalism and kindness is going to be hard to top. Daisy Jimenez was such a delight to deal with. It was evident from the minute she coordinated the interview with me, and during the actual interview itself, that she's been doing this for a long time, and I've never felt so at ease while applying for a job. While she was the epitome of professional, I really felt as if I was talking to an old friend that I haven't seen as a while and not someone who was reviewing my resume to see if I was a fit for their available positions. Greg Bernhardt, who is one of the partners of the firm, met with me after my initial interview with Daisy, and he was equally as professional and personable. Once we had finished speaking with one another, he promptly made his way over to his desk, and started making phone calls on my behalf. Half an hour after I left their office, I had a request for a zoom interview for this upcoming Friday. Last but not least, Babien Avila, had such a fantastic energy about her, and although she didn't interview me, she kept checking on me while I was waiting to be seen and after I told her I was hungry, she went out of her way to get me some food as well as a much needed cup of coffee. While I was there, it was very clear that despite being a small firm, they were a very tight knit group, who worked efficiently together, while still being able to find time to laugh and smile with one another. The last time I walked into a corporate office, the misery was palpable and you didn't feel welcome at all. If you have the opportunity to work with AscendHire for your employment needs, don't think twice. Thank you all so much for your help!

I contacted one of the persons who I decided to give a chance as one view stated she was given the opportunity by Jillian Lawrence and Taylor Collin's. I applied 8/6 and filled out a bunch of forms with personal info. Interviewed on a zoom call and after I was told Jillian was not able to join the call as she is the SVP. I was on the call with Taylor the recruiter rep. I figured there would be another call to meet with Jillian but no. 2 weeks went by I heard nothing from this agency. So I decided to email them back and ask why am I not being considered for any of the temp or perm jobs I see that is currently posted every week that I am more than qualified for and some don't require a BS degree. Jillian stated that the jobs posted are not a fit and if anything comes in will call me. I have seen plenty I am a fit for, but no call backs. I went to another agency and what a big differenc.
