I've been looking for a PERMANENT job and have a pretty solid resume (I've been in the same field…read morefor 20 years) and, of course, have been contacted by recruiters to come in and talk. Vanguard was one of them. I don't know/or didn't know if this place was for people looking for full time and temp work or just temp work. I just got a nice call from a guy named Brian and came in the next day, filled out an application (although I was confused by that, since I wasn't applying for a job with Vanguard) and had a nice discussion with said Brian about what I was looking for. Fine so far. Then, he proceeded to present me with so much paperwork, I thought I was being arrested or signing up for sex reassignment surgery. I didn't actually think much of it but didn't have the time to sit there and go through it, as I had another appointment that I was already late for. When Brian was nice enough to e-mail me the stuff to fill out, I looked at it carefully. Why do they need to have my DIRECT DEPOSIT INFORMATION???? I want a FULL TIME job. I DO NOT WORK FOR VANGUARD. This is really ambiguous and a bit decieving. There is absolutely no reason why they should have any of that information unless you are tempting through them. Just a warning. I'm not sending any of this stuff back. Obviously. What's your favorite employment agency, btw? It's been about 10 years since I've looked for a job!

With great hesitant to pursue a meeting with a recruiter at Aldan Troy, to become another typical…read moreineffective agency, with great dismay I attract agencies without submitting my resume. How to demagnetize myself from this futile staffing agency attraction? With only a mere five minutes each respectively to meet with three recruiters to complete registration paperwork of two forms of identification, and a two hour eternal ordeal to take a computerized skills exam powered by Prove It. It was a very impersonal interview meeting. I arrived at 11:30am and did not depart until 1pm because of this stupid long haul exam. The skills exam room of the computer work stations is a confined space with very minimal air circulation which restricts my best ability to rate well. Prove It skills test consist of MS Word 2007, Excel 2007 and typing. Note: Entrance is on 41st Street, despite of the address states 295 Madison Avenue and Park.

Before I decided to submit my resume to The Aldan Troy Group, I was working at the worst job of my…read morelife as a ticket sales girl at horrid tourist attraction in Times Square. I knew a college education should definitely warrant a better job, but I was having really bad luck in my search and I didn't have a ton of experience as a recent college grad. The Aldan Troy Group was fantastic because it did the searching part for me. Within a week, I got a couple of one day temp assignments in areas that I was really interested in, and another week later, I got an interview for a temp-to-perm job. I ended up landing the job and am now making over twice as much as I used to at my old job. Another huge bonus is that now I have standard days and hours (M-F, 8:30-5:30). I would really recommend this agency for recent college grads. You don't have to suffer with retail work! I would also like to add that the placement counselor, Abigail, is quite possibly the nicest person on the planet.

I moved here needing a job in a hurry. I had been sending out my resume, cover letter and filling out applications for weeks prior to my move and still nothing. RJL's Cris and Jullian TRULY went above and beyond. They quickly interviewed me to see what my interests were, to check out my resume, (even guided me on fixing it to maximize my search results), HELPED ME WITH WARDROBE. We literally went out to buy clothes for my interview. They prepped with me before each interview and made me feel so at ease. I had gone to two other employment agencies prior to RJL who ensured they would find me something quickly, asked me a few questions, offered temp work and then sent me on my way. But that was the end of it, never heard from them again. Waste. Of. Time. I am so thankful for Cris and Jullian at RJL. They are so incredibly kind and make something incredibly intimidating, very approachable. Do yourself a favor and go to them to help you with your job needs in NYC. You won't regret it.

I experienced a wide range of responses anywhere from constant email newsletters to never hearing back from the company. It wasn't until I was referred to RJL Resources that I started making progress in the job hunt. I was immediately made to feel that not only would I be a valuable asset to them, but that they would do everything they could to be an asset to me. RJL Resources helped distinguish me from the sea of other job applicants out there by taking time to really learn my strengths and skills and what I wanted in my next position. Bob and his team made sure that I didn't feel pressured into accepting a job just because they call me to offer it. They wanted to make sure any position I took felt right for me. They responded quickly and dependably to all of my communication with them and I received a call about a possible position only hours after our first meeting. They were able to get me into interviews quickly and gave me advice on what each company was looking for and how to best present myself. Afterward, they kept on top of the status of my applications. Through RJL Resources, I was able to get a temporary position in a high-end hedge fund that I never would have been able to find or interview for on my own. Through my time in this role, payroll and other support from RJL has continued to be quick and dependable. The position I'm in has just gone permanent and I want to thank Bob and everyone else at RJL Resources for helping me make it here and for making it so easy.

Unlike other employment companies which do not practice this and I've wasted a lot of time completing forms before I even meet up with the interviewer. I was interviewed first by Daisy and subsequently by Jodi on the same day. Everything went smoothly, they are very open and explained to me in detail what the job entails. Daisy called a week later to follow up with myself on my timing availability for my next interview. Thanks for following up! Overall, my experience with AscendHire has been great! Both women are friendly, open and professional!

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've worked with David, Sofia and Forrest to secure two positions over the past two years and in both cases I felt they assisted greatly in honing my expansive resume in a way to focus on the particulars of the positions they were putting me up for. Communication was consistent, professional and courteous and I was very happy with the positions they worked on my behalf to secure interviews, trials and follow ups for. Both my initial private chef position I found through them for the UES and now my current one for a family in the greater NYC area suited me very well for what I was looking for at the time and has allowed my career to mature in a way that's been very helpful. They were always upfront and honest about the details of prospective positions and I never felt surprised by the circumstances of a trial that I walked into even for those jobs I decided not to pursue. Of all the agencies in the greater NYC area they were definitely the most active in assisting me find a position. As with all high end staffing, it is a relatively lengthy and thorough process to move from interview to contract signing but they assisted the whole way and kept me in the loop as things progressed. Thanks so much to David, Sofia, Forrest and whole team at Higher Society for their expertise, thoroughness and dedication. -Andrew D.

Working with Advice Personnel and Brian S., specifically, has become one such case. I've dealt with several recruiters/headhunters over the past 6 months (I use the word "dealt" very intentionally) and none have come close to providing the level of support, initiative, warmth, and clarity that Brian S. brought to every interaction, no matter how small. Brian was incredibly professional throughout my hiring journey while also imbuing the process with a sense of profound investment on his part. I felt like he had my back at all times and, like any great tactician, was able to keep the complexities and logistical stresses of the process veiled so that I could focus on giving the best interviews possible. Because of this, I landed a great new job at an incredible company. It feels silly to write this about a recruiter but I'll sincerely miss our phone calls. Even when the subject matter might have been mildly stress-inducing (what job search doesn't have it's moments?) I always had a smile on my face by the end. Brian S. is superlative and I cannot recommend him enough.
