I've worked with Maggie in the temp department at Beacon Hill Staffing for several months and have to say she's great. She's been good about finding me assignments that work with my schedule and keeping in touch/updating me on things. I also appreciated that during my first few assignments, someone from would call me to ensure I was settling in well. While most of my experience with the company has been with the temp department, as a whole, the company is responsive and up front regarding prospects. read more

Ashton Longest is the worst Rep ever!! She tells you a different rate and keeps more than half of my salary! Do not work with them!!! read more

I had a wonderful experience with Jen. She cared about finding the right job/company fit for me. She also reminded me of great interview tips and took the time to get to know me. She was quick to send me new job descriptions my way. I felt supported every step of the way during the job search and I am extremely thankful for Jen and her services! read more

I've had two interactions with Beacon Hill Staffing in the last year or so. The first time my resume was doctored beyond recognition, and I was sent to interview for a job where I was EXTREMELY under-qualified (by a number of years). In spite of being reassured by my recruiter that the company was flexible on their requirements, I was still looked at as though the waste of time was MY fault, and not the fault of Beacon Hill. I decided to give them a second chance, figuring that I would just be more assertive and discerning about my search through BHSG. I would be delighted to review their professionalism, position availability/job placements, and courtesy for this trip but unfortunately can only review the front attendant and lobby this time. Both of those get high marks! HOWEVER, my interviewer didn't seem to value my time enough to even show up for our meeting, after I took the time off from my current job (as in wasted my personal days), paid to get into the city/park for an early morning interview, and showed up 15 minutes early. I understand that things come up, but some sort of notice would have been nice. As for the environment, the office is nice, and the front desk attendant was polite and professional, hence the additional star. Unfortunately for BHSG, my current employer/department has staffed through them in the past and may no longer be doing so due to my, and several other employees', questionable experiences. Boston is a small town. Step it up, y'all. Overall, surprisingly unprofessional for a staffing company. Both interactions, in my case at least, have been a comedy of errors and a huge waste of time. read more

I got connected to Beacon Hill through a mutual friend who works there. After discussing my experience and goals, I was advised to work with a recruiter in the temp department. Although I was looking for more permanent roles, I agreed and kept my options open. I initially met with my recruiter over FaceTime and then corresponded primarily through phone and email thereafter. After receiving some feedback in improving and bulking up my resume, I was advised I needed some more "office experience" before I looked for something more permanent, which I agreed with. After about two weeks since our initial meeting, my recruiter left me a voicemail and seemed very enthusiastic about getting the ball rolling. She scheduled a phone call to touch base with me and discuss potential positions, which she never followed through with, explaining she was busy in the lead up to the Fourth of July. However, after rescheduling our phone call to the week after the holiday weekend, I never received a call at our agreed upon time, once again. I tried calling her, left a voicemail, as well as an email and told her to call me back whenever she could. About two weeks later, with no communication since, I had a missed call from my recruiter in the evening, as well as an urgent email telling me I had an interview request for the following day, in Boston. I tried calling her back a few minutes after her initial call, and left her a voicemail. When I got in touch with her later that evening, she asked me why I didn't answer her call, even though she went almost two weeks without touching base with me whatsoever... Although it was quite last minute and very rushed, I agreed to follow through with the interview process and traveled over an hour the next morning up to Boston. Thankfully my recruiter touched base with me the night before with helpful tips and details about the company, which I appreciated. I spoke to my recruiter right after the interview and she was genuinely curious to hear my thoughts. I heard back from her about a week later, to let me know they had decided to pass on me, but she still sounded hopeful about other possible opportunities she had in mind. Once again, another two weeks passed with me trying to reach out through email to no avail. When she finally called me, (this was now over two months since our first correspondence) she apologized once again, blaming her workload for other candidates. However, she gave me several options she had in mind for me and we discussed what would be suitable. When I gave her my thoughts, she called me back at the end of the day to notify me that the position I was interested in was holding out on interviews for another few weeks, which I understood. After about a week of waiting, I decided to reach out to see if she had any updates on the position we had discussed, to no response. I gave it another week, expecting her to get back to me about the company who had pushed back their interview process, but heard nothing back. This was over two months since our initial correspondence. I did however, receive an automated email from her about a week later, explaining to me what Beacon Hill does and how I could receive a "referral bonus" for referring someone, leaving me very confused but not surprised whatsoever. Since then, (two months since I have heard from her, now four months since my initial introduction to Beacon Hill) I have heard absolutely nothing from my recruiter. No calls or emails whatsoever, not even to check in to see if my thoughts or goals had changed. I can't say I was surprised, as this entire experience has proven to be a waste of time I could have used towards other opportunities/resources. I would have even appreciated an email from my recruiter referring me to another staff member who would be more suitable in helping me, but all I got was radio silence. Especially since I came into this expressing my desire for a more permanent role, I feel as though I have been more than understanding and flexible in regards to keeping my options open and working with my recruiter in hopes of a temp role. I understand that the recruiters role can be quite busy and fast paced, making it easy for them to lose track of things. But to miss numerous scheduled phone calls, ignore multiple emails, and leave me with no updates on possible positions, is inconsiderate and extremely unprofessional to say the least. It's unclear how they claim to want to help candidates find a placement when they can't even provide consistent communication and appropriate follow up. Therefore, I would not recommend anyone looking for assistance in finding placement to go through Beacon Hill Staffing. Although I'm sure they have been a helpful resource to many, they clearly need to work on consistent communication and better follow up in regards to some staff members/departments. read more

I worked with other staffing firms and BHSG was by far the best. I worked closely with Sherri and she is amazing! Any time i had a question she would respond to me right away. Along with the positions she had for me she also worked with her co-workers to offer me even more opportunities. Would recommend to anyone! read more

I have been meaning to review Beacon Hill for months, but things have been so busy since I got my job....:) I had a great experience with Beacon Hill, and I've recommended them to a few friends who are out of school and looking for jobs. When I was first introduced to this staffing group I'd been out of school for about two months, and was having no luck finding a job in the city. Thought it would be easy with a Master's, but it turned out that wasn't the case at all! A family friend told me to look into staffing groups, and noted that she's had a good experience with Beacon Hill. I checked them out, and was matched with Claire. I had no idea how staffing groups worked when I first stopped into the office for a meeting with Claire. But we met, went over my resume, and within a week or so I was getting some "hits." The first few positions I interviewed for were not really my style, but I gave it 100% anyway because "you never know." Compared to the other staffing agencies I worked with, Beacon Hill was about at the middle of the road when it comes to the constant phone calls and notifications that there has been interest in your resume. I had a few calls a week, usually, but definitely wasn't getting calls every day. If you'd prefer a call every day, this agency might not be for you. When I did have an interview, Claire made sure to prep me beforehand, send me all the necessary info, and make sure I knew what I was heading in for. I called her after the interview was over and reported back about my experience. Pretty standard stuff. Don't expect these agencies to get you a job instantly. It took almost 3 months of weekly interviews (telephone as well as in-person) before I finally got hired at my current job - through Beacon Hill. But you do need to put in a lot of your own effort....they don't do ALL the work for you. Beacon Hill helped me find a job I love, and took out the "middle" work. I feel really lucky to have found them when I did. As someone who didn't have a whole lot of professional connections in the city, this was super essential! I would definitely recommend them, but am only giving 4 stars because there were times I think I could have used some extra direction...and a few of the jobs I was sent on interviews for were very clearly not what I had expressed interest in. Other than that, Claire was personable and easy to connect with, and she put in a lot of effort to find me a great job. Thanks!!! read more

Katie Smith at Beacon Hill Staffing is absolutely amazing! I have been working with her for some time and she is one of the most personal, down to earth and genuine recruiters out there. She is transparent and will always give you the full scoop of a role and their expectations. She is very much on your team and will work with you to find YOU the best fit. If you get her, consider yourself lucky! read more

Really had an awful experience with this place - they string me along, send me emails, and completely ignored me. Felt like walking into a sorority house, getting judged by really rude girls, and leaving feeling like they were mocking my outfit. I'm still on their list a year later despite requesting to be removed. NO WAY! I found a job on my own, thanks! They literally only help attractive, young people. Seriously some kind of discrimination group should look into this place. read more

Beacon Hill loves feedback and constantly asks for it, so, after giving them enough time to redeem themselves with nothing after all, here it is. I was to replace a woman who is retiring as a receptionist. However, upon arriving there I noticed several issues that may have contributed to the client's decision to no longer have me on board. Firstly, the client was extremely disorganized and unclear with their predicted duties for my duration. I was to shadow the woman who had been their receptionist for 42 years for a full week. There was no physical room for me to do so, making her job awkward, her attitude dismissive, and me feeling like I'm constantly in the way. Being that she has worked there 42 years, obviously her own duties were a bit more in depth than what mine would have been during my very short time as their receptionist. Thus, she was constantly doing other tasks that she dismissed as things "I wouldn't need to do" or "I don't need to learn". Resulting in me sitting behind her awkwardly from 830AM-5PM, occasionally answering a phone. Secondly, I was never given a solid list of duties from the client, and it was extremely disorganized. I was very disappointed in this assignment and the three days I was there, doing essentially nothing but sitting behind a woman waiting for her to retire so I could do my job. This resulted in me, likely, looking like I was doing nothing, because well, I was. On Wednesday the client let me go. I was not disclosed as to why, but I feel this is very unfair that Beacon Hill and WTW were inconsistent in communication and the initial intake was not premediated whatsoever. I am disappointed with this experience with Beacon Hill Staffing and the fact I have yet to be contacted for another job, as I am in need of work and don't have any due to the fact this client had no idea what they wanted or how to go about it. I was willing to give BH another chance if they could show me they know what the duties are I'm being assigned and that the client has their goals clearly outlined for themselves. I've done many staffing jobs and nothing is worse than stepping into the office of a client that doesn't know what they want. Even worse, when I am let go because of it. However, BH never stepped up to the plate. Disorganized and untrustworthy staff that's two-faced and can't follow through. read more

Yet another staffing agency wasting candidate's time. Given my experience, I doubt any of the negative reviews resonate with these people, but I feel it needs to be said for the sake of future candidates. My experience included being contacted by Jonathan Levsky on LinkedIn and promptly being blown off for the phone call HE requested ME to make to discuss a position with his client. No return call. No follow up contact. Blowing off a potential candidate not only makes you look woefully unprofessional, it reflects incredibly poorly on your organization and your client. Further, it's flat-out rude. If you're going to be lazy enough to have a candidate chase you down by phone, at least have the courtesy to follow through. I'm sick of recruiters treating candidates like they're disposable. We're not here just to make you a buck when you feel like doing your job. This solidifies my stance on recruiters and agencies - they are all incompetent, even when it's their commission at stake. read more

I had a wonderful experience working with Beacon Hill. I personally worked with Matt Glaizer and Alison Argiro and couldn't have asked for better. They both did everything they could do understand what I was looking for and sent me plenty of postings that they felt were fitting to what I was looking for. read more

BHSG (Rich) did a great job understanding my skills/background and found me a great role at a local company. He also did a solid job preparing me for the interview by knowing who I was interviewing with and what they were looking for and some of the key areas to touch on so that I could make the most of the interview time. All worked smoothly and quickly. Definitely would recommend and use BHSG again. Thanks! read more

Beacon Hill Staffing Group is amazing! The process was so quick and smooth and the people working there are great and so dedicated to what they do! For an example of how quick the process was, I got in touch with the company via LinkedIn on July 16th, met with Alison Argiro and Corinne Werner on July 17th, and got a phone call with job opportunities from Alison on July 19th. My first interview was on July 20 and I got an ecstatic phone call from Alison less than an hour after the interview about a job offer! read more

Staffing firms, I feel, are hit-or-miss affairs by default. But BHSG is by far the most consistently productive firm I've ever worked with. Every job my recruiter (Mary Catherine) has ever sent me is perfectly in line with my background (marketing), no trying to sweet-talk you into anything sketchy or irrelevant. The job seeker really comes first here - I've gotten coaching calls to help prepare me for interviews, individualized resume advice ("I think you could highlight THIS experience by doing..." vs. "in general, job seekers benefit from...") and more. Ive referred all my out-of-work friends to this firm and they've loved it too. Can't recommend enough. My advice: submit a resume and beg them to let you work with MC. You'll be in good hands read more

From my experience working with Beacon Hill Staffing, the employees seem wonderful and kind; however, they will drop you like a rock. If there's any questionable information regarding a position that you're a candidate for, they will hide that information from you. This company isn't about establishing careers for people, but rather trying to make a quick buck wherever they can. I highly recommend that if you are working with Beacon Hill Staffing, to take their words at face-value and not make critical life-decisions based on their word. Trust yourself, not these people. read more

When I first looked to see if I should meet with the consultant I read reviews all positive so I went. Now I see my experience recently isn't abnormal. It has been a couple months since I was contacted and did a phone meeting then was asked to do in person meeting. Was told about all the opportunities that there were and how I should be placed soon since she was sending me opportunities that day. Well two months later I have not heard from my consultant. I reached out a few times but then gave up. Why give this person commission. Went to another agency it is night and day. Received 5 listings to review after first meeting and got placed with a six month contract within days. I should have gone with the other agency in the first place but wanted to be fair and give her a chance. read more

I had been out of work for almost 6 months, following a lay-off, and had submitted resumes, applications, and follow ups to at least 100 places all to no avail. Out of th eblue I get a call from Ed at BHSG, talking to me about a job offer in the IT field. Thinking it's slightly hokey, I go along, without giving too much personal information. I'll make a long story short, Ed was beyond helpful, answered all of my questions, and every time I contacted him he was available, if it was after hours, I got a call the very next morning. I've never worked for a temp agency before, but as of now, I have nothing negative to say about Beacon Hill. They've been great! read more

A second experience with BHSG, just as bad as the first. This time I was contacted by Jonathan Levsky on LinkedIn for a position with a local university, asking for a phone call. I called him at the agreed-upon time and he never picked up, and didn't return my call until hours later -- a call HE requested. He then asked me to send him my resume and portfolio which I sent promptly within minutes. Crickets. No email follow up, no call, not even a form email, which surely BHSG must have access to, to say "hey thanks for taking the time, it's no." Unprofessional and even in 2019, just plain rude. Again, do better. It's not that hard. read more

Dear John at Beacon Hill Staffing, When I told you I got a job (by using a recruiter that knew what he was doing), and didn't want to speak to you anymore in March because you were the worst recruiter ever, that did not mean call me 4 times in one day 4 months later. Sincerely, Ed This guy is worse than all of my ex's put together. read more

Beacon Hill was absolutely amazing. Their staff is not only talented but extremely passionate about placing their clients. No matter what industry, their staff works together rather than competes when placing someone. This gives you a better chance of finding the job you want. I cannot thank Beacon Hill Staffing Group enough. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a job. read more

Although I was really encouraged about my search, received only one job posting and zero feedback. It was mentioned that if there was no traction after 3 weeks that I should try the temp agency. They listed multiple positions on line that I am qualified for but I received no feedback or notice of those positions. I actually applied on line from their Indeed postings and still nothing. Switched to a different agency. read more

Jake Kochan is the worst. He showed no enthusiasm in helping me find a job. He is so rude and acted like I was bothering him every time we spoke. I applied for a job and he called me to tell me that there was no way I could get that job. He made me feel like an idiot for posting my resume to that position. Then we had a phone interview of sorts regarding my experience and qualifications. He said he would find some jobs and let me know. He never called me back... Ever. When I called and mentioned that I hadn't had a lot of response from him he said it was my fault for not letting him know that I was still looking. He was not helpful and every interaction I had with him made me feel inferior. I don't need that kind of negativity in my job search. read more

The initial contact from Beacon Hill was warm and polite. I came in for an interview, met with someone in their temp placement department and someone in their permanent placement department. After that, I followed up, but heard nothing. Several months later, I heard from someone in the perm department who had taken over after the first person's departure, and we had a great catchup that was really encouraging; she seemed to immediately understand my needs and the way the job search had been wearing on me. She asked me to send her a few things so that she could further help with my resume and cover letters. I sent her the items, followed up several times, and a month and a half later I'm back in the same place with no response. In the end, I feel like I've gotten absolutely no benefit to my actual job search from them, despite investing time and energy. I understand that employment agencies are just one part of the job search puzzle, and I tried to put in the time and energy on my part with Beacon Hill, but unfortunately I got nothing back. read more

Don't bother if you're "older" - the rep who was very eager to talk to me when she saw my resume and told me how they had SO MANY openings they were trying to fill and how sure she was that my resume was a great fit for the specific job I was going in to talk to her about, hasn't bothered to contact me at all since we met. At that meeting, she made a point of asking me what year I graduated high school. When I balked, she made sure to tell me it was just for her records. Asking a person's age is illegal, so this, I imagine, was her way of getting around that. Is this company policy? I have no idea, but I certainly don't trust them now and would never go back to them. read more

I cannot say enough good things about Beacon Hill Staffing Group. I worked with Samara and Kelsey and they are AWESOME! Samara took so much time to go through what I really want wanted in a company and ended up finding my perfect fit. They took the time to go through all of the interview prep and follow up. I got an offer at the first place I interviewed. It's now been a year later and I could not be happier! read more

Useless agency! The only value they have is the name of a nice part of town, other than that they unprofessional and rude. The receptionists which seem more concerned about their hair and gossip then actually clients. Recruiters that seem to fill their quota on how many people they interview instead of providing accurate information on possible employment opportunities, which I think they don't really have!!!? Can't believe that any solid, reputable company would use them to represent them. If they do - must be a horrible company as well! read more

I'll start out with the most egregious thing, then fill you in on the rest. One of the consultants called me about a temp position with a finance company (one of the fields I said I would prefer to not work in) as an events manager (so, not involved in finance exactly). I told her I would be open to considering it and that she could submit my resume. She responded and asked if I was okay with a background check. Fair. She sent me the details. When I saw what the background check was asking for (it was like the full-cavity search of background checks), I felt like it was a little too invasive for a temp position. I told her that the background check was too much and that I did not want her to submit my resume. I understand that background checks are part of getting jobs in some cases, but it didn't seem worth it to me to expose all of my very private information for something that might not even be full time. She responded to my request to not submit my resume by asking me if it was because I was worried that something would be flagged. EXCUSE ME??? Not everyone is willing to to grant access to all of their very private information to just anyone, and I found it TOTALLY INAPPROPRIATE that she made the assumption that it was because I was concerned about being flagged. I asked to be removed from the list of job seekers after that. Back to the beginning! From the moment I stepped in the door of Beacon Hill for my initial interview, I had a bad feeling about the place based on the receptionist alone. It wasn't exactly that she was rude, but she acted like every one in the waiting room or making a phone call to the office was wasting her time. Maybe irritable and impatient is a better way to describe her. Not a good vibe for the waiting room. I had speed interviews with 5 different consultants who were all sunny and nice with the exception of one. It was a little overwhelming and repetitive. With each person I met, I made my experience and the fields I was interested/willing to work in very clear. I saw each of them make notes. With the final consultant I met, one who seemed to be a little more gruff and condescending than the others, we talked about temp/contract opportunities. I made it clear that I did NOT want to have my resume submitted to any positions involving finance. I also said that I didn't really want to consider any positions that paid less than $12/hr. The consultant told me that this was an unrealistic expectation and that it would be rare for me to see something over $12/hr. Fair. Whatever. I guess the company needs to take a cut of the wage so it can keep massive tvs showing ads for the agency and roman columns in its waiting room, right?? Within the next two days, I was sent positions that involved wealth-management and finance. I was also sent positions that I thought I was very obviously not qualified for. I felt like my guidelines were disregarded and that the consultant was just trying to get as many resumes as possible to send to the client. I guess that's just part of being with an agency. I will admit that I did have the chance to hear about some opportunities in Health Care and a maternity leave position that I was interested in, but that was only two opportunities out of many others. I regret even giving my resume to this agency. read more

I wish there was a ZERO star! They called me and I went there had interviews with two of their consultants after filling 100s of forms and signed endless agreements. They said they will do this and that and there are lots of opportunities out there. I was asked to give them my SS card and I took another trip couple of days later to give them a copy of my card. Then a link was sent to me and I spent 4 hours on the weekend to take the online exams for word , excel and powerpoint. I emailed them few days later to follow up , no answer. My 5th email also remained unanswered and 3 weeks have passed. I am just wondering why they waste their time and other people's time and money like that???? What is in it for them doing this? Do they enjoy giving you false hopes and then flush it down the toilet? read more

I am a temp agency whore. Most of the jobs i have had in my life have been acquired through temp agencies. Some are much better than others...and trust me i have been to a lot. I was on craigslist last week pretending to actually gain employment and i saw a position that fit me just perfectly. I said what the hell and applied. 2 nights ago at almost 9pm someone called me about the position. Now this was shocking because a) i am getting a job call at 9pm and b) most jobs on cl posted by agencies are bogus and are just used to reel you in. I set up an interview for yesterday morning and lo and behold Theresa is actually a productive member of society again. I would recommend this agency to anyone who is serious about working and needs a great agency who is all about finding you a job without all the hocus-pocus mumbo-jumbo recruiting agencies like to spew. read more

I have worked for staffing agencies for several years and this one is the worst. They hardly ever called me, and the few times they did to offer me a position, they told me they would call me right back, but never did. When I called them I would always leave voicemail messages and never got a return call. I'd give them zero stars if I could. read more

If you're desperate and you want to work for $14/ph - BHSG is the place for you. If you want to spend an hour telling people what you're looking, only to have them disregard your requests and bring you jobs you were doing in high school - BHSG is for you! The staff is a joke and their jobs are worse. read more

5 STARS! Surprised to only see 3 stars on yelp. But I am extremely grateful for the services that Beacon Hill Staffing has provided for me. I worked mostly with Kelsey and she was amazing. Always reaching out to me with new positions during my search, and for always getting back to me quickly if I had any questions before or after an interview. Would recommend BHS to anybody read more

I've worked with several staffing agencies around Boston, and Beacon Hill has always been at the top of my list anytime I am job-hunting. Everyone I've worked with is very professional, proactive at communicating, and friendly and they have worked very hard to find the right opportunities that have fit my different searches. Job well done! read more

I'm surprised to see that Beacon Hill Staffing only has 3 stars on Yelp...From my overall experience, I most definitely rate them at 5 stars. I have lived in Boston for about 7 years now. In the beginning of my job search a recruiter from Beacon Hill had reached out to me and I met with the recruiter in person and no real opportunities came out of it. However, in my more most recent job search, Matt had reached out to me via linked in to discuss new opportunities. At this point, I was working with two other recruiters that were getting me interviews but I wanted to be doing more. The same day I met him, he already had jobs for me and was starting to send me on interviews. Matt worked at full speed on getting me interview after interview after interview. I was interviewing at a full capacity, one after another. I'm really glad I decided to start working with Matt because he became my number 1 recruiter instantly. I've worked with several recruiters in the past but none that were like Matt. I know that he was just doing his job and he does his job very well but I believe Matt loves what he does and loves placing people in great jobs. He's an extremely hard working individual and I'll never forget the hard work he put in for me to land this new job. Thanks, Beacon Hill and thank you, Matt! read more

Went there today and it was like walking into a beautiful hotel filled with abercrombie employees. All are 20 something year olds that think that they know more about you about your experience than you do. I went in looking for a senior level analyst position. I graduated with an MBA less than 1 yr ago and have about 5 yr industry experience. She told me that I should look for entry level position because of my experience doesn't exactly match the typical senior level roles. She seemed like she didnt even want to help me find what I'm looking for. Waste of time and money that it took to go there. Couldn't be more annoyed about the whole experience. read more

I had a fantastic experience working with Deanna. She was so professional,personable, focused on working with me to achieve my goals professionally and sending me roles to review. She was attentive, creative and encouraging. I really appreciated her approach to the job search process, her follow up and how she was client focused. I would HIGHLY recommend her and the Beacon Hill Staffing Group. read more

The woman who met with me, Jamie Tobin, was very nice I have no complaints there, however, no job yet :( But I have to agree about the girl at the front desk. NOT very pleasant at ALL! Listen if you hate your job get a new one. read more

I absolutely loved working with Beacon Hill Staffing Group. I had the pleasure of working with Melissa Moore and have been working with her for a while on and off. I found that they were always very professional, attentive and helpful. They recently helped place me at an amazing opportunity, that I am super grateful for. Not only did they get me into the right culture fit that I was looking for, but also an awesome industry and a great new position. I can't say enough good things and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a new position! read more

I've met with recruiters at several employment agencies in Boston, but Beacon Hill was by far the most responsive and helpful! I met with Nina and she was and is wonderful with regard to finding me positions that fit my interests and abilities. Would highly recommend seeking assistance from one of their recruiters, whether you're looking for temp or permanent work or both! read more
