Ever since I started working with Alexa from Loken Careers, I have not stopped singing her praises…read more When I reached out to Loken Careers, I felt completely lost and directionless when it came to my career - up to this point I've had a very non-traditional career journey from public health to service industry to coaching and facilitation. Having said that, I had no idea which strengths and skills to highlight while job searching or how to even approach the job search to begin with. In just a couple of sessions with Alexa, I got not only absolute clarity on my strengths and skills and how I can apply them in my job search but also a clear blueprint for how to search jobs in a way that doesn't feel soul-sucking. Alexa gave me so many amazing resources (her podcast is invaluable!) as well as guidance regarding specific job fields I have not previously considered. She has also helped me expand my network by helping set up informational interviews with professionals in different fields (this has been SO useful). I also have to say that Alexa is so incredibly kind and empathetic, and I am so grateful for how empowered she helped me feel at a time when I was at a real low. She truly listens and hears you, which is crucial. Finally, her rates are beyond reasonable. I have already recommended Loken careers to so many friends and family, and will no doubt work with her in the future when I need interview + negotiation prep and resume editing. Thank you so much Alexa !!!

Such a shame. A year ago, this was a decent recruiting agency that tried to do the best for its…read moreclients. For a freelancer (like me), it would be a decent place to work too. Now it's turned into an AI-driven numbers game with little to no personal involvement from the people who are supposed to be "recruiters" and upcharging the client as such. If I'm hiring someone and paying a recruiter to provide me the best candidates, I would want to know that judgement and experience are involved. Otherwise, why would I pay that extra fee?

They must know I went to clown college which makes them stigmatize against me because I am neurodivergent. Either way they do a good job of putting out jobs that fit my skillset and pay very good. They are just very hard to get a job offer for people like me. No one actually called me to schedule a time to talk especially because at this time I work a very physically demanding job. At some times the AI model doesn't work forcing me to apply for other jobs and wait on them. No one is able to help you when that fails. All you get is a not available message which forces you to give up. IDK who is running this company but probably Romanian scammers

When I signed on with PSR, I was just laid off from the Feds. The only thing on my resume was…read moreretail, and music which gets you nowhere if you're looking for a serious office job. But I went to where ever PSR sent me. I worked in small offices, medium sized offices and huge operations. The same offices which would never consider me to work one day after looking at my resume, were asking me to stay on for 3 months, six months, eleven months, from 2-3 day appointments. PSR also has great clients. I was treated extremely well, and when I had anything resembling a problem , I always checked with "the PSR office". From 2006-2012, I've had so many going away parties because I got along with my PSR clients. My big heart breaker was when my term was up for a child Care Center. The staff gave me a going away party. The teacher's and the 3-5 year olds gave me a send-off, with hand drawn pictures, a fist full of sparkles, and other handmade lump-in-the-throat sentiments. I eventually settled in a job which asked me to stay as a permanent employee. PSR wasn't sweating me or the client about money or contracts, instead, they were very supportive which made it extremely hard to leave them, but the had my best interest in mind and I couldn't say that happens with many jobs. I truly miss working for PSR. I am constantly referring any students I think are trustworthy ( i WOULDN'T SEND ANYBODY TO WASTE THEIR TIME). I've been a permanent employee at a prestigious College for 4 years.

I also love the PS&R personal touch: When you get hired for a job they send you an encouraging email; when the job's done, they send another one expressing their appreciation and an upbeat note about future prospects. Nice. Not many employment agencies know (or care enough to know) that adding those extra touches makes a difference to clients who are stressed out in this still shaky economy. Certainly has made a difference for me.

I have known Jason at place for about six years, he has always proven to be someone who works diligently to find the right fit for creative workers like myself. You can tell, he is working as hard for you as you would for yourself! Whether you're looking for short term freelance or more permanent opportunities, these guys have the connections. Plus they are very organized and professional, they make things very easy for the job seeker. As an art director it's great to be able to focus on the quality of the work I produce, place takes care of the rest :) thanks guys!

I understand that mistakes happen and I only wanted to correct the situation. Jason started raising his voice to me and was very arrogant and condescending towards me. I feel that i was very understanding and kind to this man but he was truly a cold person towards me. I hope he treats his other customers and employees better than this because if he doesn't, he wont be in business long. I will never do business with this company again after what he said to me. Between the swearing, cruelty, and Jason feeling need to tell me he does not care about my business, I'll choose to go elsewhere in the future. There is no excuse for treating a clent in a way that makes them feel dispensable and uncared for.

I'm 23 and moved from Los Angeles where I worked in the entertainment industry for 2 years with the conviction of now working in higher ed. It was a big switch that did not make a ton of sense of paper. Didn't matter. Amanda and Dawn at this office saw through that and brought me in for an interview. I spoke with them - they are both incredibly sweet, good-natured people who will try to put you in positions where you can succeed. I came in during the summer, when hiring isn't at a premium for colleges but after a month I got a call about a temp to perm position with Northeastern in the physics department. I, along with 2 or 3 others, interviewed for the position and I got it. Fast forward 2 - 3 months and I've been offered to stay on permanently. It's an amazing job with good people, pay, and benefits. Amanda gave me solid advice throughout the assignment about broaching a permanent stay and this has happened with at least 6 or 7 others in the past few months at Northeastern alone. This Randstad office has great connections with the institutions they work with, and unlike some other agencies, don't BS when they tell you that you have a great shot at getting a permanent job. Rates are pretty decent and livable for an expensive city like Boston. It could not have worked out much better and there's another girl in the department from Randstad who is working her way to permanency as well. I can't recommend this group enough - furthermore when you sign on with Randstad you are working with their whole network - I had interviews and calls about positions with their other offices in Cambridge and the Metro Boston area. So if you are especially looking for a job in healthcare, education, and biotech Randstad is certainly worth keeping in mind.
