It was a good agency when I started working as a temp in 2022 after being fully employed. .. .I had…read morea long term assignment in May 2026 but had to head to Midwest for family emergency. I emailed my rep and let them know I was available. That was over 6 weeks ago, NOTHING but I should know better when they manager reached out to me in April 2026 for a job possibility I hadn't heard from Pathways since August 2025. And that was for a job I think their other applicants turned down to interview, so they contacted me. . . Remember agencies aren't in it to keep their temp/perm employees happy they are in to keep their corporate clients happy and they want to look good in the eyes of their corporate buds. As long as they get a warm body in that chair, and collect the fees, that is all they want. p.s. What happened to agencies from years ago, . . when they did care about their applicants.

Avoid this company. As a job seeker over two years ago, I contacted this company. I have not had…read moreany contact since. To be honest, I have no recollection of ever speaking to anyone from this company. Chris the owner, however, called me 7 times out of the blue today. After declining his calls, he kept calling. It was hard to continue the call I was on, so I answered. It was Chris, the owner. After stating what company he was with, I immediately hung up as I am not interested and needed to return to the call. Chris felt the need to follow up with this email: "Hi Kaylee, I am sorry you felt the need to hang up on me today.  If you didn't want to speak to me you could have just done the mature thing and told me. Have a beautiful evening and best of luck in your career." After informing him that I was on a call, did not have any contact with his company for over two years, and did not want to be contacted again he responded with this email: "Actually your phone just rang and rang.  Every ring is not a new call in case you are unfamiliar with how phones work. Again a pleasant professional MATURE ADULT reply would have been appropriate. Congrats on keeping that entitled spoiled millennial reputation going strong. Have a blessed day. Best Regards, Chris Crowley President/Owner"

Boom was definitely a good agency; I'd still be with them if I were still in the Bay Area. The…read morestaff is very hard working . This was evident in their efficient, succinct communication and the frequency of auditions they had booked for me (about 2x/wk.) Denise, in particular, was very professional and focused.

I've been with Boom for almost two years now and I don't really have anything bad to say. I've…read moreheard plenty of nasty things from other models regarding their respective agencies, and for me, Boom has been pretty good. Jack & Veronica are awesome to work with, they're very transparent with you about bookings, clients, pay, etc. (which is highly important to me). Amount of work has been decent, I mean for San Francisco, there's not much work when it comes to the modeling industry so I'm not complaining. I love how they're easy to work with and they're very professional about things. I appreciate that they communicate well with me and they don't beat around the bush on things. One thing is that their clients are mostly for "real-people" ads, so for girls that have a high fashion look, it's hard to get a lot of bookings/auditions with them. Other than that, truly recommend Boom if you're starting out or need a refreshing new agency that won't lie to you haha.

This is a free job center. I come here to get a free typing certificate. Most employers won't…read moreaccept online typing certificates. They also have computers, printers and fax machine for clients to use. In addition to these services they offer assistance with EDD. Not sure what sevices this is because applicants can do this themselves, but maybe if they don't have a telephone. When you first come in, there's a billboard with job listings. I have never seen any of interest to me. This time, they did have a listing for a dishwasher and I believe a plumber. Here's What I Think... If you are in the process of looking for a new position and need a typing certificate, access to the internet or need copies of something, take advantage of this free service.

Absolutely stellar!!!…read more I recently just re-entered the job market and stopped by to see what services were offered. They're actually partially run by Rubicon Programs, a non-profit that helps people with employment and a number of other services. When I came by I met the front desk staff who were very friendly and let me know that they don't have any veteran's rep, but can set up an appointment with the local East Bay one. I was impressed by how clean it was and also how organized! Usually these places can get hectic with the amount of people coming in and out but this was a great visit. Thank you friendly staff!

While looking for a outplacement help I found Career Insiders on Yelp. They were well rated so I…read moremet with them to see if it was a good fit. I've worked with outplacement services before and their common thread was their smooth, ingratiating, "we're your best friend" sales approach. I hired Career Insiders because there was none of that, just honest and straight talk. Mauri helped me structure my job search process to keep me on track and doing the things that needed to be done. When I wasn't being productive she respectfully prodded me and got be back in action. Probably the greatest benefit was her mock interviews. When we found something worth pursuing she would interview me for the position using the job description as a guide, creating questions that were specific to the job. This was of immeasurable value to the point that 100% of my interviewers put me through to the next level in the process (several successful phone interviews lead to the hiring manager stopping the process based on my experience, but without talking to me). I would definitely recommend Career Insiders for people looking to succeed in their job search. All competitive athletes and most performers have coaches, and competitive job seekers should, too.

MAYDAY DENTAL ROCK!!!! I'm so pleased to work with Mayday. This company is very fair. They don't do…read morethe favoritism. Nor do this company do seniority. An add is sent to your phone for the most part everyday, and you can pick and choose the days you want to work. It's not like the other dental agency where they call you out the blue at the last minute and ask you if you want a job because you're the last resort. I make my own schedule. I can do part time one week and full time the next. Mayday gives me that freedom. Also one thing if the employer is moving slow on payroll or maybe it has slipped their mind, mayday doesn't mind being the middle man. Mayday completely does all the footwork, you just need to show up and get the job done and be professional. Everyone in the office is so pleasant. So stop your search and get to work with Mayday.
