I'd worked with the Bachrach Group for the first time in 2019 and their team hooked me up with an…read moreamazing gig while I was looking for full time work. When I reached out to them again in 2020, their staffer Lauren Buonopane was the best teammember from their organization!! She consistently looked for a role that best suited my prior experience and she was very attentive, always calling me and coordinating interviews or follow-ups when she could. She was extremely dedicated, despite the Covid-19 pandemic effecting the workforce I'd re-entered late 2020. Ms. Buonopane found the perfect professional fit for me in my current adminstrative role and coordinated the details of my start with the new company very fluidly, as I had no problems fitting into my new role and she was there for me every step of the way as I began my new career. I would definitely recommend this agency and their team. They match their candidates very well with the careers in which they have experience and they gauge the connection of their clients with the position exceptionally well! I would also return to The Bacharach Group should I need their guidance and recommendations in the future. Lauren is especially very compassionate - she goes above and beyond to pair clients with their potiential success in a growing company. I thank their team for keeping in touch with me and connecting me with a role that will grow my skills and hopefully lead to bigger endeavors.

I had such a great experience working with Bachrach throughout my job search. From start to finish,…read morethe process felt really supportive, organized, and genuinely thoughtful! John Parinello was my recruiter, and I can't say enough good things about him. He was incredibly communicative the entire time, always checking in, keeping me updated, and making sure I felt informed every step of the way. Beyond that, he was genuinely motivating and encouraging, which made a huge difference during what can be a pretty stressful process. It really felt like he was invested in helping me find the right role, not just any role. I also had the chance to work with Brandon and Maggi, who were both equally helpful and responsive. It was clear the whole team works closely together and truly cares about their candidates. Overall, I'm really grateful for the experience and would absolutely recommend Bachrach to anyone navigating a job search. They made the process feel a lot more seamless and positive than I expected!

How to demagnetize myself from this futile staffing agency attraction? With only a mere five minutes each respectively to meet with three recruiters to complete registration paperwork of two forms of identification, and a two hour eternal ordeal to take a computerized skills exam powered by Prove It. It was a very impersonal interview meeting. I arrived at 11:30am and did not depart until 1pm because of this stupid long haul exam. The skills exam room of the computer work stations is a confined space with very minimal air circulation which restricts my best ability to rate well.

Before I decided to submit my resume to The Aldan Troy Group, I was working at the worst job of my…read morelife as a ticket sales girl at horrid tourist attraction in Times Square. I knew a college education should definitely warrant a better job, but I was having really bad luck in my search and I didn't have a ton of experience as a recent college grad. The Aldan Troy Group was fantastic because it did the searching part for me. Within a week, I got a couple of one day temp assignments in areas that I was really interested in, and another week later, I got an interview for a temp-to-perm job. I ended up landing the job and am now making over twice as much as I used to at my old job. Another huge bonus is that now I have standard days and hours (M-F, 8:30-5:30). I would really recommend this agency for recent college grads. You don't have to suffer with retail work! I would also like to add that the placement counselor, Abigail, is quite possibly the nicest person on the planet.

Catherine Giamettea/Core Staffing reached out to me via LinkedIn. I wasn't necessarily looking, but…read moreI went in for the interview. We talked and i got some helpful interview tips, and got an interview (and ultimately the job where I am now) with a financial services company. I had a pretty good experience overall with the company, and would recommend checking them out if you are in the market for a job. One thing that could be improved on was follow-through, especially towards the end of the hiring process. I basically had the job in hand, but was waiting for confirmation...and I followed up with Core, but did not hear anything back. Perhaps it was the hiring company that dropped the ball, but it was a bit concerning that i basically had the job, but didn't have a specific start date nailed down. The hiring compnay stepped in and all was well, but keep that in mind. That may be how things go in these type of situations, so keep that in mind. Still, I would recommend Core and Catherine in particular. Good luck with your job searches!

I was contacted by Daisy James for a job I've applied online. She is very friendly, helpful and…read moreprofessional. She emailed me online forms to be completed prior to the interview date, which was great! Unlike other employment companies which do not practice this and I've wasted a lot of time completing forms before I even meet up with the interviewer. I was interviewed first by Daisy and subsequently by Jodi on the same day. Everything went smoothly, they are very open and explained to me in detail what the job entails. Daisy called a week later to follow up with myself on my timing availability for my next interview. Thanks for following up! Overall, my experience with AscendHire has been great! Both women are friendly, open and professional!

This is the first recruitment agency I've dealt with, so I can't speak on how they compare to…read moreothers, but my experience with AscendHire truly set the bar and their professionalism and kindness is going to be hard to top. Daisy Jimenez was such a delight to deal with. It was evident from the minute she coordinated the interview with me, and during the actual interview itself, that she's been doing this for a long time, and I've never felt so at ease while applying for a job. While she was the epitome of professional, I really felt as if I was talking to an old friend that I haven't seen as a while and not someone who was reviewing my resume to see if I was a fit for their available positions. Greg Bernhardt, who is one of the partners of the firm, met with me after my initial interview with Daisy, and he was equally as professional and personable. Once we had finished speaking with one another, he promptly made his way over to his desk, and started making phone calls on my behalf. Half an hour after I left their office, I had a request for a zoom interview for this upcoming Friday. Last but not least, Babien Avila, had such a fantastic energy about her, and although she didn't interview me, she kept checking on me while I was waiting to be seen and after I told her I was hungry, she went out of her way to get me some food as well as a much needed cup of coffee. While I was there, it was very clear that despite being a small firm, they were a very tight knit group, who worked efficiently together, while still being able to find time to laugh and smile with one another. The last time I walked into a corporate office, the misery was palpable and you didn't feel welcome at all. If you have the opportunity to work with AscendHire for your employment needs, don't think twice. Thank you all so much for your help!

He looked at my qualifications and worked his magic. He set me up with a wonderful office job that I started at the beginning of 2019 and have been with ever since. To say that he changed my life for the better is a severe understatement. I have recommended as many people as I could to see Regis. In this day and age it's hard to meet someone who has a rare mix of dedication and charisma. I would highly recommend Temporary Alternatives but more importantly, Regis Canning, if you want your life to change for the better.

Time Out New York listed Temporary Alternatives as one of the better ones. I hesitated. Then I decided to go in to take the necessary tests. After I finished, I met with Regis. He totally rocked! He made jokes and told me to call him and "pester" him so that they can get me placed. During that meeting, he told me that there is an opening at an IT consulting firm. Regis said I had the background for it. When I called on Monday morning, Regis said I got a phone interview for the next day. Everything happened pretty quickly. Even though the gig didn't work out (no fault on TempAlt's part), I will totally stay with TempAlts. They seem to know what works and doesn't. Totally cool.

I've been looking for a PERMANENT job and have a pretty solid resume (I've been in the same field…read morefor 20 years) and, of course, have been contacted by recruiters to come in and talk. Vanguard was one of them. I don't know/or didn't know if this place was for people looking for full time and temp work or just temp work. I just got a nice call from a guy named Brian and came in the next day, filled out an application (although I was confused by that, since I wasn't applying for a job with Vanguard) and had a nice discussion with said Brian about what I was looking for. Fine so far. Then, he proceeded to present me with so much paperwork, I thought I was being arrested or signing up for sex reassignment surgery. I didn't actually think much of it but didn't have the time to sit there and go through it, as I had another appointment that I was already late for. When Brian was nice enough to e-mail me the stuff to fill out, I looked at it carefully. Why do they need to have my DIRECT DEPOSIT INFORMATION???? I want a FULL TIME job. I DO NOT WORK FOR VANGUARD. This is really ambiguous and a bit decieving. There is absolutely no reason why they should have any of that information unless you are tempting through them. Just a warning. I'm not sending any of this stuff back. Obviously. What's your favorite employment agency, btw? It's been about 10 years since I've looked for a job!
