The most shady job "interview " I have ever been to! First off - The staff that calls you in for a "job interview" talked as if they were offing me a specific job. Never did they clarify that this is a STAFFING AGENCY. As a business owner - I'd steer clear of this place. You can only get into a deep hole with the lack of communication and information they are willing to share. As someone looking for a job - RUN! Do not sign their illegal paperwork. Second - When I arrived for the "interview" they had 10 other ppl standing around. It was as if they were hearding cattle in there. The lady at the front desk immediately asks for your personal ID and then hands you over a book to fill out. This is after you've already filled out the online application. The information is repetitive and I do not understand how you cannot just GO GREEN. As I'm scanning and reviewing this "book" of forms they expect me to blindly fill out and sign, I see several red flags. 1st - I thought this was an interview. How do I know that I want to work for/ with you if I haven't spoken to you first? 2nd - Why are you asking me to fill out these forms if I don't know if I want to agree to work for/ with you? 3rd - How am I to know if I am accepting or declining your insurance IF I still don't know ... ANY OF THE ABOVE? 4th - You want me to sign off on many statements that start with "I HAVE RECEIVED, READ & REVIEWED xyz" but you haven't given me this information. *** To make matters worst, when I asked your employee for a copy of all these forms to take home and review, she said WE DON'T DO THAT. Excuse me??? What do you mean ?!? You can't expect someone to just sign off on something that is FALSE. 5th - You cannot ask any employee in the state of CA to GIVE UP THERE MEAL BREAKS! It is ______ to work more than 5 hrs with out taking a break. SHAME ON YOU FOR ASKING THIS OF YOUR EMPLOYEES. Moving on - I was called back by a young lady instead of the gentleman Max M. who I had been speaking too and who had set up this interview. The young lady was in the middle of training another "interviewer." When we sat down in the very crowded and loud office, she noticed that I didn't have things signed or filled out. I let her know why. She looked at her trainee very confused. I asked her for the paperwork that I'm supposed to read up on. She said they don't have it but she could look for it and email it. (THIS WAS NEVER DONE) I also let her know that I couldn't sign off on the sections that stated "training was received" since I hadn't received said training. Her answer was "We don't do it. We just have ppl sign for it." What in the world?!?!? With all this said and done, I highly recommend avoiding this place of business. read more

My company has been working with Exact Staff for about a year now. A lot of agencies have come through our door, and I'll tell you why Exact Staff should be your go-to staffing agency. First, they didn't show up with useless stationery, or worse, those cheap headphones with their name plastered on them....I could start a headphone store with all the useless headphones I get from staffing agencies. I just need a business card, maybe a pamphlet. If I wanted headphones, I'd look on Amazon. Take note other agencies and STOP making headphones - they're tacky, and useless. That's like if I owned an ice cream shop, but I went around giving people promotional belt buckles. Anyway, and second, Stephanie Stewart and her team have gone above and beyond to meet our staffing needs. That's it. read more

I think one some the most underrated qualities, and perhaps some of the most ignored in staffing agencies are having your recruiter be 1) determined to find you a job and 2) treat you like a human being. Alessa Rogers goes above and beyond in this arena in several ways. 1) She actually read my resume. While it seems like a basic part of the entry process many recruiters don't actually do this, or if they do, they rarely pay attention to your entries. She combed through and saw different opportunities waiting for me with each entry. 2) She provides options. My experience goes from teaching, to warehouse, to administrative work. While my resume was tailored for a specific area she asked for my experience and gave options according to what she heard. Options that were tailored my range of experiences which is not only a relief but it let me know she had my best job interest in mind. 3) She follows up. She is great with the details you need to know when setting up an interview for you! You won't have any questions because she'll have covered it all. If she doesn't she makes herself available if you do and responds promptly. Aleesa is a determined and capable recruiter, she helps you get the job you need and is mindful about any worries you may have including distance, wage, experience, etc. Overall, my job hunting has been facilitated by Alessa. 10/10 would recommend Aleesa Rogers at Exactstaff in the Woodland Hills Office. read more

Mayra Gonzalez is super sweet and super efficient! She'll help you get a job and get in touch with you immediately. Highly recommend her and the company if you ever need help looking for a job :)! read more

I went to this agency three years ago to meet with a recruiter about getting temp work. She spent an hour talking to me and acted as if she was going to help me find a job. Weeks went by and I never heard from her. I called to ask her why she never called me and she said they didn't have any jobs for me. I highly doubt she was telling the truth. It would have been better if she told me the real reason why she never called me. Completely forgetting the name of the agency that wasted my time and never confronted me about why they didn't want to find work for me, I made an appointment to meet with a recruiter at this agency. As I was driving I realized this was the place I went to three years ago. I called to say I had been there before and I gave them my social security number. I wasn't in their system! I didn't bother going in a second time when I knew the same thing would happen again. Another thing that bothers me about this place is that they don't give you a heads up about the parking situation. There is a parking structure where you can pay for parking but they won't validate your parking fee. You can try to find free parking on the street but it's very hard to find a free parking spot. read more

Exact Staff, Woodland Hills office is a great company to work with. Their staff is dedicated and will try their absolute best to get you the right job. Customer Service: All of the staff in the office is very warm and welcoming. The girls who set up your interviews are super polite and will try to get you in ASAP, to make sure you don't miss out on a job opportunity! Don't forget this is a staffing agency, therefore you're going to see a lot of people coming in and out of the office. Put it this way, if there's a line to meet with someone at that office, you know it's a good company to come talk too. Location: The office is located next to a Trader Joe's. Make sure that you don't park in their parking lot, you'll get towed! If you have a early appointment you can score some free parking in the bark of the building! But if your not an early bird there's a parking structure, on the side of the building. They charge per 20 min, and it's a $12 daily max. Don't forget there's residential parking too across the street! Cleanliness: The office is very clean and organized. Upon entering you'll see the receptionist and there's about 7-8 chairs for you to pick from. Timeliness: You can be in & out of the office within about 1 hour - 1.5 hours. It all depends on how long it takes you to fill out the necessary paperwork...& also how many people are waiting to be seen. I'd come in expecting to be in the office for about 2 hours. Overall, 5/5 stars! Great customer service, great communication & some amazing recruiters! read more

Superb Customer Service from top to bottom- Liz Sauler (Branch Manager), is diligent, thourough and extremely professional; simply the best. I strongly recommend this agency for the employment needs of both the employers and individuals seeking employment. EL S. read more

I have been looking for work, few weeks, made an appointment, felt like they where expecting someone perfect, I have strong customer service and office skills, never heard back. read more

Their HR / verification department is terrible. I do not recommend.

The women at Exact Staff are unprofessional and mean. They do not return phone calls or respond to the ads they place on line. I have applied for many positions, and have never received one phone call or interview. I am highly disappointed with Karenjo and Gina Peterson, especially, after many other reviewers have raved about her. read more

I've been with this company for about 4 years. Every single time I've been let down by other agencies(temporary jobs only). Exact has not only exceeded my expectations 4 years ago, but to this day! Recently was hired through a temp-to-hire program to an amazing company(Thanks again Aleesa R.) and have only positive things to say. I am forever thankful for you Exact Staff family for always pulling through and giving me the experience that got me to where I am today. read more

This places sucks, they low ball on the rate and dont find any good work for you. The receptionist has no personality, she always gives attitude when you call. She acts like your bothering her to check in with the recruiters. Once your done with an assignment they say they will put you on a list but never find any kind of work. Avoid them at all cost they suck read more

I am fortunate Aleesa Rogers found my application in their website and responded to me to schedule an interview. After my interview with her, she diligently search to find me an assignment and she did. It only took her a day! She is a great recruiter. Thank you, Aleesa! Your effort is very much appreciated. I am very happy with my assignment. read more

I'm actually really happy/grateful to have found this agency. Aleesa works with you every step of the way. If you don't like a job, she works hard to find you something more accommodating. The whole process with them is easy and simple. You just let them know exactly what you're looking for and they match a job to your requirements. read more

Asked for Exact Staff's help just last Thursday 11/29/2018 as I need a temp assistant to fill in my assistant's position while she's in a family emergency leave. By Friday, they sent me 2 people to interview. It didn't work out but I called them right after and I explained a little more in detail what I wanted and by today, Monday 12/3/2018, they sent me one person to interview and I hired her on the spot! Gina Sarracino was amazing! She knew exactly the kind of assistant I needed and found me the right person so quickly! Also, thanks to Ms. Sharon Stone - how can i forget her name! She heard through our shared UPS guy I needed help and she acted so quickly to get Gina to call me right away. Such an amazing team! read more

Mirna is absolutely the best recruiter out there, shes prompt to answer any questions about the prospected jobs I was interested in. And within 1 week after meeting with her I was hired at a good paying job. She walked me through the process step by step and made the transition into a new career simple and easy. Highly recommended by a satisfied employee of exact staff. read more

The regional director that manages the Woodland Hills branch, Gina, is a pleasure to work with. Fortunate to be placed on a challenging and rewarding assignment, I've been incredibly grateful for Gina's continual support. read more

I don't write many reviews but I felt this one had to be done. When I met Stephanie Stewart, Business Develp. Mgr, I knew she would be able to solve my hiring needs. I had a few challenging postings and where other agencies failed she dug in to find the right candidate to fit the role and culture of our company. Stephanie is someone I trust and she has exceeded my expectations. She truly cares about the client and understands the cost implications of hiring the wrong candidate so she will go above and beyond to make sure we get it right the first time. She gets it...period! (Ok, exclamation mark) read more

Been looking around for quite sometime, so gave them a call. I spoke with Mayra and she was great. Asked about my previous work history and was able to find a position for me in my field super quick. She was really helpful and made sure everything went smoothly. I definitely recommend Exact and Mayra if you are in need of help finding your next job. A1 service! read more

I called in and spoke with Mayra. She was super nice and efficient and was able to schedule me for an interview right away. I'd definitely recommend Exact staff if you're looking for job. Overall I had an amazing experience with Exact staff and would definitely recommend that you ask for Mayra when you call in. read more

I went there to find a job Mayra Gonzales helped me Great customer service and quick with there response and put you on the right track

Really Really shame when we see like this rude people are around us and unfortunately we need to beg them to help us to survive. I was there today and I'm still in shock. The guy he came in and he was really happy and excited looking around him and he signed in and sat down. The lady front desk she with very rude act told him : I'm the person who can help you ( which I know she is not ) come here. Unbelievable he had his ID and citizenship which they are both with pictures to prove the person BUT she told him we are not accepting this PAPER ( she called citizenship of the United States Paper ) you need to bring your passport. Please people don't let people like this screw our country. By the way Az soon as I saw this I thought it's better to sleep in the street and not asking this crazy agancy for help and find job for me. read more

I don't like Liz, she's has that rude sarcasm. She's nice at first, then you see her real colors. I told her I couldn't go in for a job cuz I had a Dr's appts, and she replied with "Oh I called because I THOUGHT you wanted to work, I'll just give it to someone else who wants it then". Theres been other times too that she has been like this, idk if she hates her job or w.e, but dont take it out on people who are irrelevant to your situation. read more

Miguel helped me out so much ! Such a good person to go to and he will definitely take care of you! Found me a job in less then a week and was about the same pay as the last one which is a plus !!! So friendly and helpful ! Overall my experience with them was a 10/10 read more

I came to the Woodland Hills office about 2 days ago and met with Miguel Aguilar. He was very helpful, answered all my questions, and was willing to help me find a job. Really appreciated his time and help. read more

I have nothing bad to say about this company. The min I walked in they were very helpful and friendly. I applied on a Thursday and got called for a company interview in 3 days and got the job the same day. Great company to work for I really recommend them. Specially mike Reyes he helped me thru the whole process. read more

If you are serious about job placement you should consider going somewhere else. After Exact reviewed my resume I was contacted to come into the Oxnard office for an interview. While sitting in the waiting room I got to know some of the people. One person had been sitting there for over a 1 1/2 past her appointment time, with no updates as to when she would be going in. I was asked to sign a release of liability form that had been copied so many times that it was no longer readable. My appointment was only 20 min late. The interview room was small with 4 people and desks all talking on the phone at the same time. I was promised the world and "Slimmy" (not his real name} was so impressed with my resume, and promised to pass my it on to 3 different companies. Never heard back from "Slimmy", even after calling him to find out progress. Based on previous reviews and my experience do not waste your time. I see no benefit from working with this company. read more

I was looking for a job for quite some time and I had stumbled across one of their job postings. I got a call and I made the appointment. I had never been to a recruiter agency so I was a little confused. I sat down and they made it seem like it was going to be easy and that I would find a job, maybe not a permanent one but i'd be making money. This is where it gets good though, exact staff offered me a job. They asked me to work in their office and be apart of their company. I said sure, I came in one day and they said to come back again but then changed their mind. The lady who offered me the job wasn't even there when I began working. After working the one day they said i did really well and Id be hearing back from them. I NEVER heard back from them. Not for a new job, not for their job, NOTHING. Can a company lack such professionalism that they can't even call someone to let them know whether or not they have a job? They are a recruiter company!! Absolutely trash, I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. read more

I took down my 5 star review due to the fact that I haven't heard back from Aleesa Rogers in over a month!! When I first came here I was placed at a law firmed which I loved but couldn't stay due to some mandatory traveling I had to do with my school. Long story short I reached out for help and she agreed to help me find another job, she called offering a one day assignment which I couldn't attend and I never heard from her since. This was back in February! read more

I have dealt with many staffing agencies and this has been the best by a longshot. everyone there ( Nancy, Gina, Alessa, and Miguel) do their upmost best to get the required personnel for our staffing needs. great communication all around. they have exceeded my every expectation and some. Thank you Exact for taking the time to work with me and to make sure everything is perfect. read more

This place is on top of it! I have experience with a few different staffing agencies & this was by far the best one. I resigned from my previous position on 7/1/2015 and had already met with a few staffing agencies that did not do what I needed, & moved with no sense of urgency. I was unemployed, it's urgent! At Exact Staff, Gina was on top of everything, was very straightforward, & I honestly enjoyed speaking to her every single time. While other agencies made me feel like my minimum and ideal income were too high for my experience, Gina surpassed my expectations with what she brought me. From the time I went to the Exact Staff office to the time I started was only 3 weeks! I am so thankful. The staff is extremely professional and personable. They work very hard and they keep their word with deadlines. I really couldn't have asked for more! I'm so happy! read more

Absolutely atrocious service. Tiny waiting room. Over crowded location. EXTREMELY RUDE receptionist. They demand you hand over 2 forms of ID before you even interview. No guarantee of what they do with said information. They require you to fill out applications online and paper. My appt was at 1030 and I've been waiting already for over 30 minutes. I've been in HR for years and would never treat anyone like this. Will never utilize this service again. read more

Thank you to Mrs. Jackie Navarro for another great year of assisting us with our staffing needs. Our site requires extensive background checks and we can always count on Exact Staff to find the right individuals to bring on board. read more

This is more of a review of Miguel Aguilar, who is an excellent, really professional recruiter at the Woodland Hills branch. He really pays attention to the job description and matching candidates. I went on a few interviews through him but accepted another position I interviewed for on my own. He clearly has a lot of recruiting experience which is hard to find at agencies now. I highly recommend Miguel if you're looking for a job or a company looking for an employee because he makes good matches all around. read more

I have worked with Joy on multiple occasions for temporary labor and she has always sent us staffers who were professional and well suited to the responsibilities. Her customer service is always excellent with very prompt communications. I recommend Joy and Exact Staff. read more

This company is not worth looking into went to one of their job fairs and they told me that because I didn't have six months work experience that they couldn't help me how does one build work experience if the company doesn't give you work I don't understand how a temp agency requires such strict guidelines I wouldn't waste your time with them and after filling out my application and they told me they could not help me because I didn't have six months worth experience I requested to have my application with my personal information on it back and they told me they couldn't give it back to me I asked them to shred it and they said they couldn't do that either I don't trust this company and I don't think you should either read more

I was very excited to start fresh with this agency but that was crippled due to the lack of professionalism. It started with a few email exchanges before I ended up interviewing with Liz. The building was nice and after filling out a small stack of paperwork and a nice conversation with the receptionist, I was ready for an "interview". This is where things got very bad. While I sat down ready to answer questions, Liz took a phone call from her desk phone. I didn't think anything of it until a bit later her cell phone started to vibrate in the middle of asking me questions for the interview. To my surprise she took the call and started to briefly talk with a family member. After waiting patiently she proceeded to ask me questions in which I tried to answer but for sake of saving her time she wrote down what she thought was equivalent or enough. I brushed it off and we continued the interview. She stops me again before I could answer another question to tell the office she found a babysitter so she could have half day or something. I should have walked out right there but I let her finish. Completely unprofessional and extremely rude. Before I left and before a salary or pay was discussed I was told I might have to report to work that same day. That was a bit surprising since I hadn't formally accepted anything. Also what really made my gears grind was the scheduling. When applying for the position it was stated to have open availability but the shifts were listed so you could chose which times worked best for you. That was definitely just to get people to apply because they wanted me to be on call. I was very disappointed with the process and especially with my interview. It left a very sour taste in my mouth and I cannot recommend this agency to anyone. read more

Avoid. One of the 5 star reviews is by an employee, so what does that tell you about their rating on here. My experience was so negative I contacted the CEO. read more

I recently left my job of 12 years and started searching all the job boards for a new position. I came across an ad that fit me perfectly and Exact Staff was the contact to do the hiring. I responded to the ad, exchanged a few emails with Aleesa Rogers and we scheduled an appointment for 9am March 16th 2016. I followed her instructions to fill out the online forms and mark Woodland Hills. She then instructed me to come prepared in case I would start this "Full Time" job today which I did. I arrive at 8:45am and tell the front desk woman I have an appointment for a position with Aleesa. She then tells me that Aleesa didn't turn in any papers for me and nobody there was a aware who I was. I then ask for Aleesa and was told she isn't the person you will see or discuss this with in person. Looking around and seeing how I was handled left me feeling like a guinea pig just to get me in the door then from there they would first attempt to get me any kind of work if possible. I chose to come knowing it was for one specific position which ended up being a scam. Before coming in I chose to give this company a chance since while I was the GM at my last office position I hired temps from this company with the help of Nancy. Now that the tables were turned and I was treated like one of many that were sitting in their waiting room. Very disappointed, especially with how Aleesa Rogers handled this. read more

It is difficult to find staffing agencies that are ethical and conscientious and about job placements. Exact Staff placed me in a temporary position and the agent told me that the position would likely become permanent. After accepting the position and working several months into the role, I found out that the agent lied just to get me to accept. This was a high level admin position and they paid me almost half of the permanent salary. After completing the position I was offered a job reference. I emailed exact staff and called to follow up to collect on the job reference, I have not received an email nor phone call. read more
