Now in the negotiation process, they are very receptive to my feedback, and will always bat with what is best for you as an employee. Lynnette Alexander deserves so much more credit as my main recruiter as well. She is not only easily accessible, but responds immediately withing a 24 hour time period. She is a valued partner in my success, and I appreciate finding a recruiter who believes in building that relationship rather than churning out job seeker after job seeker like most recruiters do. I love working with them currently, and look very much forward in doing so in the future.

Denise Coulson at AppleOne is AMAZING!! She's the only recruiter I've ever worked with, and she set…read morethe bar sky high. From day one, she's been patient, encouraging, and genuinely invested in my job search. She never made me feel like just another client; she listened, supported, and guided me every step of the way. That kind of consistency and genuine care is rare, and it shows in the results she delivers. Thanks to her, I landed a role that truly feels like the right fit. Denise brings incredible value not just in placing people, but in the way she builds trust and confidence with her clients-- something you can't teach. If you want a recruiter who goes above and beyond and makes you feel seen, Denise is THE ONE you want on your side.

After having terrible experiences with multiple job agencies, I was contacted by Spherion from a…read morepost I had replied to on Craigslist. I was brought in the same day and submitted my resume for the position. During my interview, the recruiter praised me for my accomplishments and said she was there to get me a job. I've never had such a friendly and encouraging recruiter before. I did not get that position but my recruiter said she was confident that I was a strong candidate and that she could find me a job. Less than a week later she contacted me with a part time position from a tech company with great pay for what it is. The whole process was so smooth and better than anything I could have asked for. I am so grateful for the help I received from Spherion in achieving my career goals. I highly recommend them!!

This was my first experience gaining employment through a staffing agency. Erica, at the SLO…read morelocation, reached out to me about six months ago regarding a position I had been hoping to find for a while. I was weary at first because this position was advertised as temporary. I was really hoping for a permanent position, and thought about turning down the opportunity, but Erica made sure to mention that the intent of the company I would be working for was to eventually transition me to a permanent employee. After roughly six months, I was officially offered a permanent position with the company. During that six months, I still received health benefits and competitive pay. In addition, the payroll department with United Staffing Associates was always available to answer any questions or concerns that I had. They were always kind, concise, and informative. For anyone looking for employment during these hard times, I highly recommend reaching out to USA for any open opportunities. They will do everything within their power to find the right job for you!

I have heard of people having good experiences with this place but mine was pretty horrible and now…read morethat I have, and have had, a job I can look back and reflect on how bad they were. First of all, like most temp agencies, they make you take computer aptitude tests, which is fine except that they seem to pay no attention to the results in trying to place you in an appropriate position for your skill level. As an example of how bad they are at finding decent and well suited jobs of their "employees," within a few days of joining the agency I got a call for a job (keep in mind I had my BA at this point and was using this agency to be a temp for hire since I was having very little luck in the job market). I was excited until I was told that instead of finding a temp for hire position they needed someone to do a weekend painting job. I was desperate for beer money so I took it and like any painting job it sucked. After that I told them to find me a real job next time and they indicated that understood the painting was a one time thing and that they would try to find me something in the next two weeks. I never heard from them again after that. Bottom line is this is a temp agency in a college town with a lot of students finding jobs through them. They don't know how to handle the load of job seekers and they really don't know how to handle well qualified people. If you really really need work I'd give them a shot but not before you exhaust all options.
