Susan Magley is a class act and it shows; Magley & Associates is likely the most well-run…read morerecruiting agency I have ever come in contact with. Her team is top-notch and always helpful. If you've in the past dealt with flaky recruiters who couldn't give a straight answer to save their lives, Magley & Associates will be a refreshing and honest change. Extremely up-front and professional, I give Magley & Associates my highest endorsement whether you're a job seeker or a potential client.

I'm really impressed with these folks! A six month contract was drawing to a close with no mention…read moreof a permanent offer or renewal. I was pretty sure I would be renewed, but just in case I put out my safety feelers. A friend recommended Magley since he was really pleased with both their ability to place him, and to negotiate the terms he wanted. I sent them an email and received back immediate confirmation and interest. The next day we had a phone conversation and Laura told me that they had tons of work for someone like me and she could get me A LOT more money. True to her word, I had a new gig lined up at about 25% more money within the month. I am at the new gig now, and have been really happy with the professionalism and enthusiasm that all the team at Magley has demonstrated. They have followed up with me frequently to make sure the placement is off to a good start, and made sure I don't need anything. Every conversation I have had with them has been friendly, upbeat and energetic. Beyond all this, what really sold me on Magley was that when the sick pay law passed, they didn't keep it on the down-low hoping their consultants/contractors wouldn't notice. Instead, they sent actual letters in the snail mail to everyone on their books informing them of their new rights, and how to go about getting the sick pay they are entitled to. I've been asking around an no other agencies that I have heard of have bothered to notify their contractors/consultants at all. Way to take care of your peeps Magley - you rock!

A person who went by the name of Vee reached out to me about a property maintenance position. It…read morewas suggested after the interview that if I had any follow-up questions to feel free to reach out. Upon doing so, I followed up with a basic question 3 times about the position and got a beating-around-the-bush answer. With a sarcastic final answer of 'if/when we forward you to the client, and "if /when i the client wants to interview you, we will get into the specifics" with a final ..." hope that is clear", answer. Yes, clearly rude, dismissive, and unprofessional. Remember, they reached out to me, not vice versa. Use DM Estates Staffing; they are less dismissive of basic questions and more professional. Best of luck to all clients and candidates!

I wish I could say something positive about Covello Group but unfortunately, my experience was not…read morea good one. I was contacted by a recruiter who saw my resume on Indeed. We had several conversations, and she was under the impression I had a degree but I told her I do not but that did have 4 years of college but never finished. I have 20 years of work experience, the position was entry-level admin. She assured me she could still work with me. I gathered all the medical documentation that was needed for the position. Sent several e-mails to the recruiter, left several voicemails, and simply no response. Very unprofessional and quite frankly a big letdown as I was looking forward to working in this field and gaining new experience. I decided to go the temp pool route where I don't have to go through a recruiter.

I struggled to find employment in the Bay Area and often felt alone because I didn't have the right professional help to assist me in the process. Fortunately, that all quickly changed the moment I connected with Karen at Covelo Group. As a credit to Karen's hard work and relentless efforts, I was able to get to the next level in my career and find work within great healthcare organizations on 2 separate occasions! She is truly dedicated when it comes to her job and does all she can to help others. Those that know her know that she's nothing short of amazing. Her enthusiastic personality and positive attitude is a great compliment to the hard working mentality she brings to work every day. Additionally, I've always felt comfortable expressing any concerns or questions to her, and in return she has been consistently supportive and understanding. I am beyond grateful to have connected with Karen and I would strongly recommend her to anyone because she is truly among the best at what she does. I thank her for all the hard work that she does to assist individuals like me on a daily basis. She is greatly appreciated and I value her as both a recruiter and good friend. Continue to do great things at Covelo Group, Karen. You are awesome!

But I would need to go to the website to verify that you are not a fake McCall rep" Didn't hear anything for almost 2 hours so I responded with a second text "Yes" No answer. Looking at reviews on Glassdoor (only 8) and Yelp, I do not seem to find more than a couple that are less than a year old; the rest are more than 12 months, and quite a few are in the 9 to 14 year range. Not seeming legitimate.

When I first talked to Debra, she spent a ton of time talking to me on a call. So this means they're small enough for the owner to do that.

I am not anonymous and you have my word that it's honest remarks from a current Monroe employee.)
