54 minutes ago NEW…read moreTerrible agency! I had an interview for a help desk job through the Sparks Group Agency. About a week later I was told that I was hired for the position. But Sparks group never sent me an offer letter confirming my start date, time or where to report for work. They contacted me the following Monday saying I had not reported to work then today they sent me an email saying I had been terminated from the agency for pulling out of an assignment and not showing up for the job. I tried to contact them numerous times prior to find out when my start date was... never heard back from them.. How is one supposed to report to a job without having the address, start date, or start time? Although the lady who I spoke her over the phone was nice, this situation was very unprofessional. They are not attentive and do not have good communication. I would not recommend this agency to anyone looking for employment. They seem to mostly only offer temporary positions for $17.25 an hour which really is not a living wage! Good riddance!

A recruiter reached out to me during quarantine regarding available positions at local pharma…read morecompanies. Twice a week she would call me with updates, usually very redundant about how the "manager" was going to send my resume over or make a call. I don't know that he or she ever did their part. Suddenly, I am no longer getting calls and no one is answering my calls even when voicemails are left. If I'm not fit for the position then have the decency to inform me ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU REACHED OUT TO ME during a pandemic. A couple weeks later, a different recruiter called me and warned me that the Rockville office is known for this behavior. Needless to say, I will NEVER consider using Aerotek as a staffing agency.

I called this agency from Montgomery County HHS, requesting information on a mutual client. I was…read moretold someone would call & get back to me with the information I requested. 24 hrs later and no one called me back. I called again the next day and was told to contact another dept. I asked why this information was not provided when I originally called (from a government/county agency), and was told she could not speak on the behalf of someone else. I was given a secondary number to call and a code to use. I said thank you and was hung up on. Here's a customer service tip. The second representative I spoke to on day two should have said, "I'm sorry no one got back to you yesterday, I'll find out who you spoke with and make sure they are aware of our process and procedures so this doesn't happen again. Unfortunately we are unable to provide the information you are requesting, but you can call this dept and they will be happy to help you and answer your question". AND WHEN SOMEONE SAYS THANK YOU, YOU SAY "YOUR WELCOME". You can even add have a nice day/weekend.

This was the first great experience I have ever had with a staffing agency. First, Morgan Stephens…read morespecializes in placing banking professionals. I was contacted by one of their recruiters named Heather who contacted me on LinkedIn and already matched me up to a position she was working on. The position was temp-to-perm. I've had other agencies promise me a temp-to-perm positions, but this time it really was! Morgan Stephens has an online payroll process and onboarding. Not only did I get paid every week as promise, they even paid me the day after my timesheet got approved. Instead of waiting until Friday, I got my paychecks on Tuesday. well, after 30 days of working through Morgan Stephens I received a permanent position. They let me go at no cost to my new employer (which is rare) but it gave my new company plenty of incentive to hire me. Thanks you Heather and Morgan Stephens for making my job search so easy!

I have to say that Randstad was once one of the most respected staffing agencies in the country…read more However, my recent experience with them left me feeling terrible. They misrepresented me to the client, and the client ended up not treating me fairly after having a conversation with the guy who was supposed to me working for me at Randstad! My assignment had ended twice, and I was being given more duties, and I made the fatal mistake of asking RANDSTAD for an increase. The guy who was supposed to me working for me told the client that I asked them for more money, which didn't sit well with them. Now, everyone knows that any pay increase you receive would come from Randstad since you are employed by them, yet the client was falsely lead to believe the opposite. The was absolutely horrible because I had become very friendly with a lot of the employees at the client site, and hoped t get a permanent job there, but all hope of that was lost after that!

In 2012 I applied for an office job this agency was advertising and never heard back. No big deal,…read moresuch is the world of job hunting. Fast forward to now, six years later. Over the past few weeks I've received numerous emails from this company for positions that are not related to my industry. I also now live 3,000 miles away from the DMV area. I have responded to their recruiters that I am not seeking employment and am not living in the area, and to kindly remove my information from their database. After a few days I'll receive a reply from the same recruiter stating "I didn't hear back from you..." So starts the cycle again. This business seems shady or the recruiters are overworked to the point where they never check their emails or resources.

I received a job listing from the recruiter 'Laina Applegate' (I don't believe this is her name or…read morea real person at all) in regards to a position in Falls Church, VA. Oddly enough, the job description contained several sections taken directly from my actual resume. The 'to:' line included an email address that I purposely keep separate from this email; one that I make sure to never mention between each other when dealing with recruiters. When I asked how it was that they obtained the secondary email address, the recruiter magically disappeared and never responded. 'Laina' contacted me at 5:43AM and my reply came within an hour. I even sent a follow up email to 'her' not responding to such a simple inquiry. This isn't a company that can be trusted or dealt with in anyway. Report as phishing if your email provider allows you to and never send them anything personable to yourself--be it a resume, cover sheet, etc. The one positive review they have on Yelp isn't believable and is clearly fabricated.

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!!
