This place is AMAZING! My career counselor, Samara and Helping Hands representative Pam helped me…read morethrough almost 4 months of unemployment with resume help, career counseling, and much, much more. Samara spent almost an HOUR AND A HALF with me completely revamping my resume. And, it worked! This is a completely FREE service! Even if you are unhappy or unfullfilled in your present job, they can help you find a BETTER one! They provide training, classes and seminars and so much more. And if you are struggling to pay your bills, they have funding for that as well. A common misconception is that you must be Jewish to take advantage of this service **THIS IS NOT TRUE!!!** These people are here to help you get that career, get your bills paid and set you up so that you can be the best you possible. With over 600,000 laid off in just the last month, this is a service that is certainly in need and they do so with pride.

After having my third visit with Samara, I have nothing but positive things to say! Samara has…read moreworked wonders with my resume. She's made me really think about what it is that I have done in the last 10 years of employment and what skills I have developed and how these skills will help get me a job. She's patient, understanding and you can tell she cares. She not only makes sure that you're looking for work, she also makes sure that you're getting the care that you need in regards to your health (seeing a doctor, dentist, etc.). She has been very helpful. If only I had known about Helping Hands sooner!!

Tldr: Sheldon was incredibly rude to me about supposedly ghosting an interview years ago. When in…read moreactuality I had contacted him and he failed to respond to me. Completely unnecessary and unacceptable behavior. Bad customer service. I submitted a resume and was asked to call back for a phone conversation to start the process. I was matched with Sheldon. When we were beginning the registration process, he realized I was already on file and his attitude completely changed and he became very rude. He informed me that I had been asked to do a video interview with him two and a half years ago and I logged on and out and didn't respond to his voicemail asking what happened. He was confrontational about this and asked me if I remembered this. I apologized and said I didn't (it's been 2.5 years) and told him it had probably just been a connection issue. He rudely said "well what can I do for you now?" as if he's been holding this grudge. Maybe he just had a bad day, but it felt very unprofessional and he ended the call with this tone that felt like he wasn't going to assist me because of this, which is unfair. Being the professional I am, I sent an apologetic email about not following up 2.5 years ago. Then I went through my texts with him and saw that I had actually followed up about the technical difficulties and had asked to reschedule, and he never responded back to me. Even if I hadn't, it would have still been incredibly unprofessional for him to talk to me like that. I'm sure having people not follow up is frustrating, but it's recruiting. It's part of the industry. And it definitely does not mean that you get to talk down to people because of it, especially if years have passed. And I was communicative both 2.5 years ago and today. They are an agency that doesn't respond to emails and doesn't respond to their own sms messaging system even if they contact you in that way first. Looking for employment can be frustrating but being demeaned (especially for something you didn't even do) is not something anyone should have to deal with. I would not recommend this place. They need to learn better communication and customer service.

If you are willing to work hard *as a professional* at the job in which you are placed, Philly…read moreTemps and Perms will be a great fit. I interviewed and was hired for a week-long convention position which paid exceptionally well. We used an online app to check in each day and to record our hours. I received payment within two weeks. Afterwards, I was contacted numerous times for other work. I found Christine to be sincere and empathetic however, she owns the business and it's her reputation on the line so she's not interested in people who won't go the extra mile. There's an added bonus with PT&P: its office is on Walnut Street, right in the middle of Center City's hustle and bustle. If you're out of work and feel a little low, it's exhilarating in a way to walk amongst all of the busy people on the street, enter the historic building and take the trip up the old elevators.

I am SOOO lucky I got in touch with Jobspring. I worked with Natalia, Christian, Christian (yeah),…read moreand Hoshi. From the get-go, they were super professional. You're asked to come into the office early on in the process to meet with various recruiters so they can learn more about your skills and what you're looking for. At first it seems overkill, since most other recruiters take a 10-20 minute phone call to do your screening. However, I believe it paid off to have the face-to-face screening. From here moving forward - I worked mostly with Natalia (she placed me at my current job) and Hoshi (who worked with me on an interview that didn't result in me getting the job). Both recruiters worked hard to get me interviews and kept me informed as to where I was in the process, which I appreciated greatly. Natalia and Hoshi recognized my skillset and saw which jobs would be great matches for me. They're pros, they know what to look for and go with their knowledge. Natalia worked with me to get me my current job. She pushed me out of my comfort zone, even though I hesitated a few times. Long story short, she really knew what would be best, and helped get me a great job at a great salary. I highly recommend working with Jobspring when you're looking for your next job.

Their team took the time to truly understand our needs, culture, and the type of candidate who would be the perfect fit for our organization.

MissionStaff didn't just fill a role; they helped us strengthen our team. I can't recommend them highly enough for any company looking for a thoughtful, thorough, and results-driven recruiting partner.

This was a very interesting experience. After hiring my last nanny through a staffing agency I…read morelearned all the right questions to ask prior to signing a contract, Starla did not appreciate the questions and rather than answering them she refunded me my application charge. Consumers are much more educated than 17 or even 10 years ago, companies should use that to their benefit rather than a threat. Needless to say I don't have experience with their actual service post the contract signing. Ashley was great to work with, Starla not so much. Way too defensive to be customer facing.

Called this morning to ask about domestic services; mentioned I was looking for help once a week…read moreand before I could finish my sentence and the rest of my needs (which would extend to much more than once a week due to regular travel), was interrupted by the woman answering my call and told once a week is really hard to find and when I tried to explain it would be much more than that on a regular basis, she hung up on me. I called back to let her know I actually needed more and/or ask for a recommendation to a different service if they weren't the right fit and she cut me off again saying something I couldn't hear and hung up on me again. Considering the level of service they advertise, this was a bit shocking... with that being said, I can't recall being treated this poorly by any level of service provider. I don't write reviews often... and if I do it's to call out great service... this was just so bad I wanted to warn others.
