I can't get enough of PTP!…read more Close to two years ago I nearly solidified my decade long tenure at Alameda county working as an EA with CIOs and CTOs as long as I can remember. I wanted a job sector change and venture out what's out there. I tried many opportunities with two other hiring firms but both have been discriminating against my previous experience. This one other particular firm interviewed me and told me my EA background in government is laughable. After many years of public engagement, being trusted by my executives, actually thinking I was a bigger part of something in my career, I had one other hiring agency told me I wasn't worth it. It hurt so much. It wasn't until my friend told me about PTP. I was already traumatize with hiring agencies I wanted to bypass PTP altogether. So flashback to 1.5 years ago. I placed in an application through LinkedIn and was immediately contacted by Sue, Jackie, and Rebecca. I went to interview at their Palo Alto location (an actual chic office and not some shanty bedroom/house converted office) and immediately wanted to get to know me. Rebecca sat down with me and listened to my needs. Why I was searching. Why want venture capital? Why go after start ups? What was your culture like in government sector? I couldn't believe my eyes. Rebecca was acting like that one friend who always wants updates on you. It didn't feel like an interview, it felt like you were sitting down at brunch and talking casually with Rebecca and giggling, just enjoying atmosphere and talking about career. I left their office in good graces. Sure enough, they had 2 JDs for EA and EA/OM after two weeks. I got a job at a VC firm! Ladies and gentlemen, top recruiting is not about making money. These recruiters know that you are already a good fit at the start, they will help you mold into it. Other hiring agencies could benefit from this tip. Thank you so much Premier Talent Partners! I would 100% recommend!

I first submitted a profile which was very easy to do. They do a good job cutting the barriers to employment. Within a day, I was contacted by Julia B. We set up an initial interview to just get to know me. We had such a pleasant conversation. Despite the current Pandemic Crisis we are in, we were able to discuss our thoughts on the situation because it is unavoidable, then we proceeded to the interview. It was smooth, she was clearly an eloquent communicator and very passionate about her job. She informed me next steps and we were done in our allotted 15 minute time frame. Julia continued to be responsive. She provided me two emails. Just two. One to set up the interview with the recruiter with tips included (bonus) and one to confirm my interview. The day of, she reminded me of the interview via 1 text. Then there was Grace S. The interview was scheduled for 30 minutes. Get two HR Professionals in a room that truly understand service for others and what the HR profession is about and you will quickly notice 30 minutes is not a lot of time. Grace is the recruiter you want by your side. She takes the time to know you by listening to you, actively, and she takes an interest in what makes you, you. That is exactly what a recruiter needs to do. One that can present you completely. Not just by resume, but really "go to bat for you." You instantly feel safe and trust when you speak with her. She is honest and she is open. In times of where we really need to earn people's trust, Grace goes the extra mile to earn it. I thoroughly enjoyed our conversation and her blunt honesty. As an 15+ year HR professional, this was pleasant experience and a great choice for me. Julia and Grace are great representations of "PREMIER TALENT PARTNERS" and I look forward to building long lasting professional relationships with them and their colleagues. Many of us are being adversely affected by the crisis. In these times, turn to people who will take it upon themselves to ensure your success. They truly care and they truly want the best for you, at least that is how I felt. Remember they are humans too, I brought positivity to the table and got a great result. Come in with a good attitude and you will see, they will provide great service. They are professionals through and through. Don't wait any longer, choose the best, choose Premier!

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.

Avoid this firm at ANY and ALL costs…read more I hired them in 2009 to take care of the books for my small business on a family recommendation. For a year they basically did everything, and anything but take care of the books. I got charged for every single phone conversation or email I had with their lead associate (shark) Ron Cohen, and for their list of literally 5-8 incompetent assistants, which weren't even doing monthly profit and loss or managing Quickbooks. When it was time to do taxes a year later they told me my books weren't in order and then charged me an absolutely outrageous amount of money to organize the books and file the company returns. They then proceeded to tell me book keeping wasn't part of our agreement of services after charging me upwards of $500 dollars a month for an entire year. Pretty questionable and irresponsible business ethics if you ask me. Last time I checked accountants and accounting firms are there to manage the books... The icing on the cake, was when I found out what I owed the government in 2010, because it was too late to mitigate any of the taxes because no extension was filed or even discussed with us. Goodbye IRA money! Goodbye charitable contributions! Two years later (2011), I'm facing a potential IRS audit for the lousy work they did, and have been told by multiple professionals in the field that the returns were not categorized properly and are questionable at best. There are tons of great firms in the bay area, don't hire GROCO. This company will do nothing but charge outrageous prices and insert grief into your life.

I have known Courtney Meyer for the last eight plus years, both as a recruiter during my job search…read moreand as a previous employer. How it all started... I was laid off for the first time in the summer of 2010 and Courtney made the scary process of finding a new position quick, seamless and even comforting! She was able to find me an assignment within a few days and placed me at a local client on a five-month temp assignment. Once that assignment ended, she re-assigned me to another client, which was an equally amazing experience. I actually learned the basics of HR (my now career field) working on the second assignment she placed me at. When I was available again, I asked her for something in the HR field and she offered me a game-changing opportunity - the chance to work for her as the first full-time, dedicated recruiter for Menlo Partners Staffing, her own firm. She mentored and trained me from the ground up and is the reason I am the staffing professional that I am today. For her, I am forever grateful and will always appreciate the professional experience and wisdom she shared with me. She is an expert in the staffing industry and you are no doubt in good hands with her as a client company or candidate she's representing. She will fight for you and make sure it's the best possible fit on both sides of the desk. In the beginning I would ask her, "how do you know this person will work in that position?" and she would reply, "I just know, I can feel it in my gut." Little did I know those gut feelings came with 20+ years of experience in the staffing business and can't be taught overnight, but I always remember joking with her about that! I like to think because of her mentoring over the years, I have that "gut" feeling too. Courtney is one of a kind and it is nice to know there are people like her left in the sometimes cut-throat staffing business. She is a lifetime friend and someone I will always look up to on a professional note. Call Menlo Partners Staffing today!
