It's been awhile but I'm back in the temp market so I looked up Graham, because I worked for them…read moreyears ago and they were wonderful. After reading the only review I've seen here, I was really disappointed, but then I saw that Amanda Krape was this person's rep. I realize that having pay delayed is a major issue and must have been very frustrating for this temp, however, Amanda Krape was also my rep and she was AMAZING. She kept me working, she was always in my corner, the pay situation was never any problem whatsoever. As a matter of fact, nothing was ever any problem whatsoever. Graham kept me working continually, everyone was always positive and helpful and supportive and that's why I'm looking through them again now that I'm interested in temping again. Don't let one person's rough experience keep you from considering Graham. I've worked through a number of temp agencies over the years - and Graham was the best of the lot, hands down.

My recruiter's name was Amanda Krape (hence the last name because she and the agency surely were…read more"crap-py" and incompetent). Graham, on my very first paycheck, deposited my paycheck into a closed account which I informed them of prior to payday. It took over a week battling over this issue, which they then, finally, made a payment to my correct account. However, this now meant TWO payments out there: 1) The wrong account. 2) The correct account. They explained they transitioned over to a new system and for some reason, the new system didnt recognize my new account. ????????? They asked me to contact my bank, get a letter stating my account had been closed, which was a hassle. I explained I would provide the correct paperwork, but that my going to the bank, meeting with them and traveling to their location was a lot in one day, but will do - they emailed to say my next pay would be withheld. They also disabled my Graham online account thereby making it impossible to view my hours (without the situation being resolved nor telling me). Talk about passive - aggressive #1. They failed to pay me on my FIRST pay day, by sending money to wrong/closed account. #2. After countless communications sent back and forth over a week, they finally wired me my money (does this sound like a stable company?). #3. Then, after realizing money was out there in cyberspace - withheld my paycheck, disabled my graham online account and I couldnt view anything - not even my hours from the previous week to calculate what I would earn nor the ability to see if my hours were verified and approved (it would have been my second paycheck). Yes, this company will be out of business within a year for bad business practice. To add insult to injury - I was charged a wire fee despite the fact it was THEIR mistake. To this day, they have yet to reimburse me!!

Career Strategies is an excellent place to work. I have been part of working with the agency for a…read morelittle over 5 years and it has given me a chance to strengthen and develop my skills.

Temporaries Now provides amazing services to both staff and organizations needing them. I began…read moreworking with Temporaries Now back in 1999 when I was finishing up my college degree and seeking opportunities to expand my professional horizons. The interview process with Temporaries Now was, and still is, rigorous. Personality evaluation, and skills testing ensures a comprehensive picture of each candidate and gives the candidate an opportunity to get feedback and an assessment of their interview skills. Once on-board as a "temp" there are a myriad of benefits offered to staff not often found at other firms. These benefits include, but are not limited to, computerized training, insurance options, paid leave, and many opportunities for recognition. The owner, Dale, cares about his staff, and it shows, he is constantly seeking out ways to provide incentives and recognition to his employees. I was ultimately offered a challenging assignment via Temporaries Now with a major IT firm in the local area. This assignment lead to a professional job offer and a career that has now lasted for over 15 years! So, whether you are an organization seeking temporary or permanent staffing or a candidate seeking work opportunities, I would highly recommend checking out Temporaries Now. The quality of this organization and staff are second to none.

The reason this place has so few reviews is they aren't actually interested in getting clients. I…read morefirst spoke to someone on the phone, expecting to make an appointment to discuss my objectives and job search. Instead, I was told to email my resume and career goals, to see if they would be able to help me find work. I figured that made sense because they might only have contacts in specific sectors or deal with certain levels of experience. The man assured me that they could probably still give me career advice, even if they couldn't get me a job. So I sent in my resume along with goals and details about my experience. A few days later I was caught off guard by an automated email telling me that "[my] resume was not selected to be moved forward for this particular position." The email stated that, even though I didn't get the "position," my resume would be stored if another opportunity arose. Pretty confusing since I was seeking career help, not a particular position, and I had followed the employee's instructions for the email to a T. The message was signed "The Staff of Gaskins Search Group." There was nothing about career advice or even the mention of a recruiter. I was really surprised by the lack of professionalism, especially after the person I spoke to made it seem like they were willing to help. My advice is not to waste your time with Temporaries Now. Find a temp agency that actually cares about placing people in jobs.

The day before the interview they called to give me a pep talk and interview advice. Throughout the placement period I was in constant contact with my recruiter. I've never temped with another agency but based on other reviews I've read on Yelp, I would be cautious if the recruitment agency doesn't tell you who their client is or is terrible with communicating.

They even checked on me on my first day, just to make sure I was settling in okay. I would most certainly work with them in the future :)
