CityStaff is our go-to staffing firm for our administrative and other junior level positions at our…read morecompany. I handle the team building for a small business and they make my job so much easier by identifying qualified candidates for us to interview. We have made some great hires because of their help. One thing we do to help CityStaff understand our needs and the type of candidates we are looking for is draft a very detailed job description that includes the culture and benefits, in addition to what the "realistic" job experience would be like for candidates. I also keep in touch on a consistent basis with CityStaff to give my thoughts, questions and feedback pre and post-interviews, and that has helped me and them understand how to best fill our open positions. Eroica and Jen are very responsive and professional, and each of our temps that have come through CityStaff have said they had positive experiences working with CityStaff. Keep up the good work.

I received an email from Adam Sidel regarding my application to a job that he told me to check out…read morethrough his recruiting company, Brainstorm Creative Resources. This email appears to be an automatic response once I applied for the position on his website: Adam Sidel asidel@brainstorm-resources.com Tue, Sep 5, 3:47PM to Adam I'm reaching out because you formerly applied with Brainstorm Creative Resources in Washington, DC for a Product Design role with one of the firm's clients. We're currently looking to identify an interactive design professional who could be interested in taking on a Figma Production Specialist role for at least the next six months. This fully remote (work-from-home) opportunity is being offered with either full-time hours (40 hours/week) OR part-time hours (30 hours/week) - it would be up to you. We'd like to talk with qualified individuals interested in either situation. This is not a design role, but it requires a depth of knowledge with and experience working in Figma that is commonly found in UX/UI designers. So, if you're a Figma pro and you're interested in learning more about a role that could keep you fully employed for the next six months, I encourage you to briefly scan the opportunity summary directly below and then click through to review our complete role description and brief job application. Adam then sent me a message on LinkedIn, on 9/6/23, stating: Adam Sidel 11:50 AM Scott... Thanks for applying for the Figma-focused role that I mentioned in the e-mail I sent you yesterday. Can you set aside a few minutes to chat about the opportunity tomorrow morning? Anytime between 9:30am and 12:30pm ET would work for me. I then spoke with Adam over the phone on 9/7/23 when he provided more details about the potential job role. He stated that either 1) He would get back to me directly 2) The potential company would reach out to me directly or 3) Adam would send me an email for me to speak with the hiring manager at the potential company. He said that he would contact me with an update the following Tuesday by end of day and if I didn't hear from him by then to email him. I then emailed him: Scott Sep 12, 2023, 4:34PM (7 days ago) to Adam Good afternoon Adam, Just checking up on the status of the Figma Production Specialist position at [potential company]. I never received a response to my above email, so I then sent him a message on LinkedIn the next day: Scott 9/13/23 11:40 AM Good Morning Adam, I was just following up on the status of the Figma Production Specialist role at [potential company]. I sent you an email yesterday as well. Hope as is well! Looking forward to hear back from you! Thanks! Scott As of 9/19/23 at 5:00pm ET, I have yet to receive a response from Adam or the potential employer. If I receive an update from Adam, I will update this review.

Adam is best viewed as a salesman for himself, not someone who will help you. He will hit you with…read morea bunch of big numbers. "I have 10,000 people in my address book. I have 5,000 contacts on LinkedIn" --- but he is the kind of guy who treats desperate job seekers as disposable. He overpromises & underdelivers. He is so unresponsive he will tell you to check in with him if he does nott get back to you within 2 weeks. Then he will just ignore your calls and emails. He will promise to call you "in the morning," & then email you in the evening to say Oh, I got held up --- can we chat in the AM? (I can understand if this happens once, but not 3 times in one week.) Your time is better spent with other recruiters who are less selfish and more responsive.

Green Key LLC Staffing Professionals on Research Boulevard is a wonderful company. I have worked…read morewith several temp agencies and I was always made to feel like a number and just a paycheck to those who were placing me. I chose to stay with Green Key because of one of their employees names Erika Silvey. SHE IS THE BEST. She cares about you, talks to you like a friend and finds jobs that she believes will be a fit for you both skill and personality-wise. She has found me one job that went permanent do to an excellent placement. Due to unfortunate circumstances, I had to leave that job so I turned to Erika again for help. Now, I am at another job which I love and fit in real well. If you choose to go to Green Key, I highly recommend Erika Silvey. Her work number is 301-584-3194. PS...I NEVER write reviews...but I just had to spread the word about Green Key and Erika Silvey. Kimberly

Cross-posting my review because my recruiter deserves more than one 5-Star review:…read moreI came to Green Key Resources with 2 years prior experience as a temp. I had contacted 7 local temp agencies, 4 didn't reply at all, 1 called me in for an interview then never contacted me again, and one set up a phone interview and then stopped communicating altogether. My Green Key recruiter, Erika Silvey, called me in for an interview right away. The interview was quite long and very thorough and by the end I felt like she had gotten to know me and what I bring to the table as far as my skills/experience/personality. Right away she got me a temp job at a management consulting firm that I was able to walk to. Her communication was excellent, from the first day to the last I felt like I could contact her with any questions or concerns I might have. I found the Green Key app very easy to use, and I preferred entering/submitting the hours I had worked on my phone, rather than filling in a piece of paper, getting a manager to sign it, faxing it to the agency, etc. After that first job ended, she said "I know you're looking for something full-time, but for now would you be interested in another temporary position until we find something permanent?". I really appreciated the acknowledgement that I was not interested in being a temp for 2 years (again). She also provided me with very constructive feedback on my resume and what she expected as far as updating it as I ended one assignment and began another. Fast forward ~1 month, quite happy to be working again (and making 50% more than the last temp agency paid!), and after 1 job interview she set up that went well but ultimately was not for me (they were afraid my commute would be too long), Erika had me placed at a local financial institution that ended up hiring me. She gave me good, practical advice as far as negotiating my salary and other hurdles as a potential new hire. Pay, benefits, growth potential, fit, and just overall job satisfaction are the best I've ever had and I would not have this great new career were it not for Erika Silvey @ Green Key Resources. 10/10, have recommended this agency/recruiter to many friends/family.

I should have composed a review late November when I was let go or December 2024…read more Elite Personnel VP contact NHG and manager EH contacted me about a Contract Travel Accounting position for a large union International Brotherhood Teamsters IBT near the Capitol downtown DC. It was a temp to hire staffing assignment and looking to start Monday August 12. Interestingly, I just relocated from NYC July 31, 2024. I had to work 500 hours to become permanent. I already interviewed three other staffing recruiters and a Silver Spring MD direct hire HR employee which they were stalling with pending next steps in the interview process so I prioritized my time and took IBT staffing agency to survive. Although the pay rate was $29 hour and it was non-negotiable per NHG so I had no choice. She "lowballed" me since my salary was $65,000 from my previous NYC local employment for nearly seven years. My duties include verifying and auditing employee travel expense reports and applying LM2 schedule for accurate coding using SAP Concur software and processing travel-related vouchers on Microsoft Dynamics XL formerly Solomon Edwards software. I was grateful to learn two new software SAP Concur and Microsoft Dynamics. I loved data entry processing travel related vouchers since it keeps me busier than verifying expense reports which caused me to doze off occasionally. Travel Accounting manager TB I thought I worked well with signed my weekly timesheets mostly. This racist Travel Accounting supervisor JF was and is arrogant and indifferent toward temp employee as a Black male and normally out of the office a lot leaving less work for me to do. JF and I were not on the best terms. The other four other Travel Accounting employees trained me a certain way to verify and audit expense reports. I explained to him during two performance evaluations September 17 and November 1 for the reason for my swift delivery and attempted to avoid careless errors and I acknowledged my breakdown to him and to TB. JF applauded my data entry and admin related work with limited and no errors. I expressed oftentimes sitting at my desk unproductive and idle for a long time whether I am working slow or fast. He and TB admitted about some down times which expense reports aren't coming regularly. Staffing agency RHI sent a black woman temp to handle back logs for both Vietnamese permanent employees out of the office in late October. She and I share the same birthday, and she has extensive accounting background including travel accounting experience from a large NW DC university. JF asked me to train her on processing travel expense vouchers and she acted pompous and kept interrupting me in the process. She asked some of the questions repeatedly and cosplaying from making careless mistakes and she did tasks her. She implied JF and another white female temp employee explained the best way opposed to mine so I just ceased training her and talking to her. Their ice was and always colder than mine. I refused to work in a spiritual and gender warfare toxic environment feeling disrespected by her and the co-workers. I am beginning to feel uneasy working with the temp and how she tried to undermine and sabotage me along with JF especially with my 500 staffing assignments are set to expire November 25. I addressed my concerns to TB. Finally, NHG called to inform me Wednesday November 27 to confirm my last day since the Accounting Manager TB and/or JF informed her I was "frustrated" with the lack of consistent and regular work and my refusal to accept permanent offer since they pay once a month according to TB and other employees. Also, I refused to work in a toxic environment feeling disrespected by HR, cafeteria staff, "raccoons" security, and many union employees.

I've used…read moreElite Personnel twice... once after graduating undergrad and again last year when I was looking to get back into the workforce and both times have been a blessing. Straight out of undergrad, they were able to place me on a temporary assignment that lasted for about 2 months, and then when that ended, I was placed in a more long-term admin front office role. When nothing else worked to put my degree to use, I could count on Elite to get placed somewhere, and luckily for me, they seem to have great connections all throughout the DMV so I didn't have to wait too long before I would hear back with a potential opportunity. If you're still in the search for a new temp agency, I definitely recommend Elite be your next (and last) stop ;)
