Recruiter vs Agent…read more It was the first time in 20 years that I needed to find a new job, I figured I could just overcome the odds by sheer tenacity and indomitable grit. Months has gone by using this methodology which turned my hopeful expectations to monotonous disillusionment.The worst part of the whole experience was feeling alone in my delima. During this period of time I enlisted the aid of several recruiter companies to assist me in finding something adequate. My expectations for these type of services was the same expectations I would have from the guy behind the counter at Starbucks. It is because of this status quo of this generic consumer orientated approach to most services out there that the experience I had with Riverpoint stands out so much. The best way to summarize my experience is feeling like I had Jerry Maguire representing me. Recently Dan Moberly help me find a new place of employment that is far better than what I could have managed on my own. The very least I can do is express my gratitude by posting my experience with them on my social media sites and hope other people looking for representation in the job market contact them.

If you are searching for a pro-active staffing agency, A-1 Careers Staffing Services of Prairie…read moreVillage, Kansas is not the agency you need to contact. I have recently submitted my resume regarding a position that A-1 had posted on Career Builders. I immediately received a call for an interview. I attended my interview, completed the application, and individually interviewed with two staffing associates. "Oh, they had the perfect job for me...I would be such a great fit..." The staffing rep even sent me a thank you card in the mail. This rep was working with the same client as another staffing agent I had interviewed with. I attended an interview with this client and had a great interview; however, I feel that because the client was working with both staffing agencies, my possible employment with this client has been jeopardized due to the conflict of interest. The A-1 Careers rep will not return my calls or respond to emails regarding follow up. It appears all staffing agencies have the lack of dedication to their applicants. This entire process is a joke. The staffing agency is always so eager to bring in the applicant, make the applicant complete the application and interviewing process, complete the necessary tests, and never call again. Don't they work on commission and bonuses? I am very qualified for all the positions I have applied for. They do not consistently work for their current applicant. They continue to post jobs on the job boards and continually bring in new applicants for the same process, week after week.

Nadine was AMAZING!!! Completely exceeded our expectations! I would give 10 stars instead of 5,…read moreand I would highly recommend her career coaching and mentoring services. Nadine was responsive, professional, knowledgeable, welcoming, and went above and beyond to make time in her busy schedule when we reached out for some last-minute interview prep and coaching. She not only helped provide the technical insight and industry-specific recommendations we were looking for, but more importantly treated my family with compassion, patience, and kindness to help boost my wife's confidence before her final interview with a big-name company. Nadine's help made all the difference, and weeks later the suggestions Nadine shared helped secure a job in the middle of the pandemic Thanks to Nadine, my wife succeeded in getting her dream job in engineering making chocolates, and we are forever grateful for your expertise and warmth in coaching. You can be confident you are in good hands with Nadine, and you are truly getting a great value for your investment because Nadine invests in you and your future! -Alex and Diana

I also didn't send you a single email after I posted my review. I suggest if you don't want negative things written about you you don't lie. I'm going to have to write more reviews now! Nadine is a flat out liar. She wants hundreds to thousands of dollars before she will even talk to you. I told her I was going to write a bad review and she then turned around and said she turned my email into "the authorities" because she felt threaten. If she's so unintelligent she thinks a bad review is the same thing as violence find someone else, if she's so unhinged she lies, again, find someone else. I've included the email I sent her and her response. You can she is an unhinged liar. I was worried she was a scam and now I have no doubt. DONT EVER PAY FOR A SERVICE BEFORE THEY WILL EVEN HAVE A CONVERSATION!

Before I contacted Andrea, I had already spent more than enough money with other resume services that claim to be the best in the field but that only provided me with redundant sentences, completely missed the ask, and left me even more frustrated than I started. Andrea took her time to understand what I was trying to achieve, asked specific questions, and delivered an impeccable resume tailored to my needs.

Thanks to her, I was able to land my current job that pays me DOUBLE my previous salary! Recruiters and hiring managers raved about my resume and some of them even said it was the best they'd seen in a very long time. I was able to land a new job in five weeks thanks to her resume writing skills, which is shocking considering that I'd struggled for over eight months to get a second interview with the resume I'd written before. Now that I've been at my current job for a year and a half, I decided to hire her again to update my resume. She also gave me some really helpful advice on how to tweak my resume in the future when applying for different jobs. I highly recommend hiring Andrea if you want to work with a professional who knows what she is doing.
