A Staffing Agency That Truly Cares About the People They Represent…read more I have had a professional relationship with Staffing Solutions, LLC, and specifically with Nicholas Martin (Nick), the owner, for approximately 18 months as a candidate seeking employment. While my candidacy ultimately did not result in permanent full-time employment, my experience with Nick and his Account Executive, Karin Challis, has been exceptionally positive. What has stood out to me most is the way they treat you as a person. Throughout my time working with them, I was consistently treated as a priority--with genuine respect, consideration, and compassion. Nick and Karin made a sincere effort to understand my experience, goals, and what I was looking for in my next opportunity. They put me forward for quality positions and interviews where they believed I could be a good fit, rather than simply sending my résumé out indiscriminately. Both Nick and Karin have always been accessible, responsive, personable, and professional. They listen carefully, communicate clearly, pay attention to details, and follow through. But beyond those important qualities, they bring something that I have found surprisingly rare in the staffing industry: a genuinely human touch. When you work with Nick and Karin, you don't feel like you're simply another candidate in a system. You feel like you're working with people who actually care about what happens to you. At times, it genuinely feels like you have friends in your corner who want to see you succeed. That matters even more in today's employment market. The job market is difficult, competitive, and often discouraging, and I have seen firsthand how challenging it can be for both candidates and employers. Through all of that, Nick and Karin have continued to approach their work with a positive attitude, persistence, and genuine concern for the people they serve. Even when an opportunity doesn't work out, they don't make you feel forgotten. For a candidate, that kind of relationship is invaluable. You want someone representing you who will listen, understand your circumstances, communicate with you, and advocate for you. For an employer, I believe those same qualities make Staffing Solutions an excellent partner--because people who take the time to understand candidates are much better positioned to make thoughtful, quality matches. I would gladly recommend Staffing Solutions, LLC to both job seekers and employers. Their professionalism is excellent, but their greatest strength is the personal investment they make in the people they work with. In my experience, Nick and Karin don't just provide staffing services. They build relationships, and they genuinely care about the people behind the résumé. That is what sets them apart.

I cannot recommend Staffing Solutions highly enough. From the very first interaction, their team…read moredemonstrated professionalism, attentiveness, and a genuine commitment to helping candidates and employers succeed.

The only reason I gave it a star at all was because my 1st interaction was great. About a year ago…read more(2023) I was called by Mischa to interview. She does direct hire and she thought she had a job that would fit for my experience. She was AMAZING!! She walked me through the process and kept in touch every step of the way. I didn't get the job but that was fine. *I got a call from her about a month ago asking if I was still looking. She didn't have anything for me but referred me to a co-worker named Antoinette. Antoinette had a job for me, and I went in to meet her before my interview. It was 2 hours before my interview, so she and I had time to chat. She told me that the company I was interviewing with had used her before and liked her so well that they were using her again to find someone for the position I now hold. She seemed pleasant enough and we had a nice chat. I said great and went to the interview. The interview went well, and I was basically told to start Monday at 8am. I texted her asking if there was anything else I needed to do since she was the recruiter. She said no and to remember my start time. *I went in as scheduled at 8am. After working for two hours, I asked the gal training me when I was going to fill out New Hire paperwork. She stated, "In about 90 days." WHAT??? *Apparently, Antoinette was not doing Direct Hire. She was doing Temp To Hire. I had not been told that, but it was fine. I don't mind. The company I'm working for is great and worth the wait. *The HR at the new company called Antoinette and she apologized, grabbed her tablet, and came over to the office to have me fill out paperwork. Mind you, there were no physical copies. Everything was on the tablet. *I asked her what a few of the forms meant, she said she didn't know. So I muddled through. I asked her to send me the log in information for their site, knowing I would be doing timesheets online. She said she would send it upon return to her office. I didn't realize at the time that the site I did the paperwork on was the same one. I gave her a copy of my ODL and texted her my SS Card from home that evening because I didn't bring it to work. I tried multiple times that Monday to log in and the system would automatically kick me to the Forms area. I messaged her and she replied after a few times to tell me I needed to wait until Wednesday because it took time to process paperwork...you know...non paper paperwork. *So, I waited. Wednesday comes and it still wasn't working. I message again and she said she would look into it. She had no idea what the issue was. I spoke to the controller at the employer, and she said to create a timesheet that we would send it Friday if it still didn't work.... It STILL didn't work. I got no information from Antoinette, so I emailed in the approved timesheet to both Antoinette and Mischa. Mischa was because I knew something would get done if I gave it to her. I was right. Mischa called and email right away letting me know that Antoinette would get back to me. *Antoinette AGAIN said she had no idea why the system wouldn't let me do a timesheet. *Monday I get a text from Ashely. She told me I hadn't filled out a form they needed. And it had to be done today so they could do payroll. And they also needed my ID. I told her I filled out everything they had listed on the website and Antoinette had copies of my ID. She stated they had lost an admin and that one hadn't been assigned to me that needed to be filled out. She assigned it to my profile, and I filled out and submitted the form. She stated she would get my ID from Antoinette. *Then I get a text Tuesday. Now I apparently filled out two different insurance forms and I needed to decide which one I wanted. I called her and told her which one. *I get a call from Antoinette this same Tuesday and we discuss payment. She stated that this coming Friday the 24th that I would be getting paid for two weeks. I said, "You are paying me for last week and this week on Friday and my timesheet isn't due until Sunday? No, that's wrong." She said that was what she was told. I just said No. She then said she would email me a schedule for pay. *Molly called me the following day to say she knew there were a few "hiccups" in the process. Those weren't hiccups, they were vomit. I told her that I was not told anything. She said, "We pay our people". She was a bit defensive. There was no need for that. Just admit that your company messed up and let's move on. But that wasn't happening. I said that I knew I would eventually get paid and basically ended the call. *I then went into the Companies HR manager. She had spoken to Molly too. Molly told her how it was all my fault, and I did everything wrong. I filled out the paperwork wrong. I was told it was temp to hire. She tried to lie and state that she had proof. Well, so do I. She said Antoinette had NO IDEA I COULDN"T LOG ON!! *So many lies, not enough room here. NEVER USE THEM!!

From the…read moreoutset, she took the time to understand exactly what I was looking for in my next role and what mattered most to me in a firm's culture and environment. Throughout the process, Kelsey's knowledge of the legal market and of individual firms proved invaluable. She ultimately connected me with a firm that truly aligned with my values and long-term career goals. Beyond the outstanding results, Kelsey is professional, intelligent, communicative, organized, thoroughly prepared, and a pleasure to work with at every stage. During our time working together, Kelsey refined my résumé, provided thoughtful insight and advice about the firms I was considering, coached me for interviews, and supported me through salary negotiations. What is often a stressful and overwhelming experience felt far more manageable with her guidance. Working with Kelsey has been one of the most impactful decisions I've made in pursuing my next role. For any attorney seeking their next position, Kelsey will be an excellent partner. She is a dedicated, strategic, and strong advocate who truly cares and offers thoughtful, practical guidance throughout the job search. I am profoundly grateful for the support she provided and recommend Kelsey with the utmost confidence.

I worked on assignment with Adecco for over 2 years and I must say it was an amazing experience…read more Being able to communicate with individuals in a staffing company who make you feel like a person and not like a number was very impressive to me. Brook Poggi, is an Amazing & Professional Recruiter who helped me to soar in my career path. She reviewed my resume and decided it was time for me to advance to the next level. Landing me an Awesome opportunity that has been a benefit to me ever since. It was (what I like to say) a career shift that caused me to utilize and advance my current skills, while learning other skills to help me better perform my duties. My perception of her, as well as, the others in this Adecco Office is, they are not only Recruiters, but also Mentors and Motivators who are Personable, Passionate, and always Professional at what they do. So if you are looking to work for a Staffing Company that truly cares about its clients and treats you like a person and NOT like a number; then Adecco Staffing @ 121 SW Morrison St. is the place to go.

HR Alliance also provides me with strategy that saves me money on taxes and also allows me to take advantage of true pre-tax group benefits that normally small business owners are not able to have access to.

For a business that interviews and hires people for a living, they don't have their shit together. They offered me a position on the spot without checking references, which was a red flag. They also asked me if I was willing to do highly unorthodox things like do collections on clients and borderline unethical things like do legal work for clients. Turns out they do work for most clients declaring bankruptcy and expect their accountants to be collection agents. Feel free to look up any of her former employees on linked in and they will verify this. Carolyn claims on her website to be both a CPA and an EA. hrallianceinc.com/about/ Do yourself a favor and do your due diligence. One quick check will let you know whether or not her credentials are valid. If you are considering using HR Alliance, I highly recommend taking the two seconds to look Carolyn Olson up on https://cpaverify.org. I hope this might prompt you to think twice about using HR Alliance, or at least prompt you to ask her a question or two ;)

I'd give zero if I could. First, the founder/owner left her desk at the time we agreed on for me to…read morecall her and I was on hold; then she proceeded to ask me why I didn't have a higher GPA in college (mine was above a 3.0), and then found it appropriate to correct my (correct) language...over the phone. She actually laughed at me when I said the average amount of hours worked in society (I said 40) within the conversation and corrected me again. The manner in which she asked, "why haven't you been able to find a job?" was so demeaning, I'm not sure why I agreed to meet in person the next day; I did in the hopes she'd be able to help me out. So I went in the next day to meet with her and she was not in the office, she was outside walking her dog (not something I'd usually be irritated by, but after the day before it rubbed me the wrong way). There was no one else in the office and a woman named Nicole who came to the front desk got incredibly defensive when I asked how long it usually takes her to come back; I was uncomfortable from the start. Had she spoken like an adult, things may have unfolded a little differently. I waited a few minutes and decided to leave because had I been late, no doubt that'd had been considered unprofessional, as I had another appointment afterward. Nicole gave me a nasty retort about the amount of time I'd have been there "anyway" with an unprofessional attitude, I felt like I was in high school again. When I ran into Vaughna (owner) in the hallway and let her know I was on my way out, she copped an attitude immediately and tried to make me feel guilty about her dog and proceeded to send me a passive-aggressive email afterward. Never have I felt so inconsequential. Terrible customer service. There's probably a good reason why their office was completely empty-people don't appreciate being treated rudely by "professionals" having no respect for others' time. Do yourself a favor-especially if you're young looking-because these people won't take you seriously-don't waste your time.
