You DO know, fellow Yelper, that a temp agency is really about the impression YOU make (over the…read morephone, then in person) with the staff at the agency, right? I chose this location after bumping into a pal who was on a long term assignment that he loved. He spoke highly of the company and he really liked his recruiter. I called up, and made an appointment to see her. She WAS indeed, really cool. After about 4 days, she called to send me to interview with a company. I started the next day, and have been on the assignment for over 8 months now. Everything is centralized and automated with Office Team. I've never had a pay issue, never had ANY issues actually, and I've only been to the office that first time. Perfect! Staff is super responsive to email and phone calls, with follow-up in less than 2 hours. If you go, ask to see Jessica or Allison- they will get you on a good, solid assignment with a reputable company. ***YELP TIP: you really NEED direct deposit BEFORE you start working. if you do a paper check, it has to be processed out of Yugoslavia, and it takes about 3 weeks (no joke) for you to get your first check. it's painful.

So this is the THIRD temp agency I have worked with during my lifetime. So I already know that you…read morehave to dress in business professional attire, have an upbeat can-do attitude, and that the relationship between you and the company is a collaboration (you don't sit around and wait to be called, you check in weekly to see what positions have opened up). With that said...this place was alright. My initial interview was interesting to say the least. The gentleman/recruiter named Gus P. who spoke with me told me he had the perfect job lined up for me. He told me that based on my resume and phone screen I would have the job-he gave me a start date, I just had to come in and fill out paperwork. When I arrived he stepped into the reception area and called my name (which is an Irish name-I'm not Irish though), then approached a Caucasian woman and shook her hand. I said "no I'm _________". He looked me up and down with disgust and told me to follow him. Then he told me that I was not a good match for the job and that he would look for other work for me...after already telling me I had the job and had given me a start date. He never called me back. I called the office weekly. Three weeks later a different recruiter called me Valerie C. I told her that I only wanted temp to perm work. I guess I let her convince me to take a temp job because I was desperate for work. The company I worked for was amazing. Although they never told me when my last day was, just that they weren't going to keep me. I advised my new recruiter of this because I wanted to find a new job ASAP. She never replied. I started working with a new agency and found placement. I informed her of that via phone and e-mail...no response. They only got 2 stars because the job I got was great and I made great contacts there. Plus the payroll department is amazing. You get paid direct deposit the same week you start working. Oh and no one helped me with my resume. The new temp agency gave me great feedback on it, and now it looks even better. That company is Hollister. I am going to give them a few more weeks to see how they do before leaving them a review.

It was so refreshing to have people in your corner who are dedicated to getting you placed in a role.

They found me a nice, temporary position to build up my skills and continued to reach out to me with offers and positions they felt I was qualified for. I really appreciated how responsive they were. In the end, I found a permanent position on my own, but I was so happy that Manning was there to give me options along the way!

Jeannie is a powerhouse of energy and enthusiasm. Continually searching for stable and experience appropriate employment is a difficult, arduous, exhausting task, at times involving countless faceless applications with algorithms that do not take into account capability, personality, drive, and heart. Their only purpose is to count applicants as the machines they are with the programming they have. Jeannie counteracts that with humanity, caring, purpose, knowledge, and soul. I am glad to have her at my side, not only for my future, but that of my family. I am eternally grateful to all Jeannie has done and continues to do. Thank you, my friend.

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.

She helped me land my dream job at a competitive PE firm in Boston in an incredibly tough labor market with a company known for a very rigorous interview and hiring process, and without her guidance, support, coaching, professionalism, optimism, and help navigating the process, I honestly don't think I would have gotten there. Under Angela's guidance, I was able to land a role in a completely new sub-industry sector of finance, one that is historically very hard to break into without past experience. Angela spotted my potential and was able to sell me. What truly sets Angela apart is how genuinely invested she is in the people she places and her long-term commitment to finding the right fit. She stuck with me through major life changes, including having a baby and even turning down the first role I was offered, and months later came back with the right opportunity, patiently waiting until the timing made sense. She believed in me from the very beginning and was thoughtful and intentional every step of the way. Angela also coached me through a challenging departure from my previous company and helped transition me into my new role seamlessly, while still keeping my new employer confident and supported. She understands the delicate balance recruiters must walk to keep both candidates and employers aligned, communicating openly, and moving forward without friction. She helped me navigate difficult conversations, negotiate what I needed, and ask tough questions that are often considered taboo, all without creating red flags. Because of her transparency, care, and ability to handle difficult personalities and unexpected blockers, I felt informed, supported, and confident throughout the entire process. I would work with Angela again in a heartbeat and recommend her without hesitation. She has a rare ability to find the right "sweet spot" for each candidate, highlight their strengths, and thoughtfully address any concerns along the way. She is truly exceptional.

Applied online and got a call back from Jen who was very friendly, told me to come take a visit for an interview. The building was very nice, prime location in Financial District. Front desk person asked me to fill out an application and led me to Jen after. Jen was telling me that she has been working at John Leonard for almost 30 years holy moly! She was very professional, knew what she was doing, and sounded like she has a great relationship with their clients (employers). Asked me couple questions about my skills and experience, what I want to do in a long run. After the interview, she explained some of the jobs they have in the system and asked me if any of those spark my interest. Really liked this short term assignment in Cambridge, was places there a week after that interview! Went through many assignments with various employers through John Leonard so far, was a great experience to work with all those employers. John Leonard seems to have a good clientele of employers that would treat you well as long as you do your job! Long story short- no matter what kind of career goals you have, John Leonard will listen to you, learn your story to find a great assignments that fit to your needs and qualification! Shout out to Jen, you are awesome!
