I got a call from Sandi a hispanic woman who asked me to come in to office asap to fill out app for…read morea clamp position. She had a position for me that was rotating schedule. I expressed great interest. There was a young hispanic girl applying at same time. I was told, they will submit background check and call me. The young girl on same day applying, was asked what she wanted to do and immediately. She said clamp or forklift. To my surprise she was put right to safety training videos. I was told i would be contacted. I kept following up. Apparently it took 8 days to run my BG. But they didn't call me. I had to call them to find out. So feeling that I got screwed on position on the day I walked in there, i didn't say anything. Sandi tells me when BG cleared during my follow up call on tues mid-afternoon. (It was submitted the week before on monday.) So I hear, "Your good it cleared. Ill submit you to client and you probably get an interview on thursday. But don't call us, we will call you." I knew I was right the fix was already in. So i wait til thursda anyway on this so called interview day. I send Ms. Sandi a text message, that "if this was not gonna go through, please just tell me so i can stop following up with you and getting no results." I get a call from Sandi at Crest hill office line immediately after text... "I already filled that position, I'm gonna send email to client, that if the person i sent you doesn't work out, I got another one (me) ready to go." I don't know about you, but I smell bullshit everywhere I look. Going further its typical with a lot of these staffing agencies. Its VIVA MEXICO first... JOE True American second.... Horrible waste of my time and effort. I would not recommend this agency to anyone, unless of course your hispanic.

When I was just getting out of college I worked with staffing agencies and the experience was…read morehorrible. I was blessed enough to start a successful career on my own but now I am looking to change directions and I find myself going through the job search process again. As anyone who is currently in the process of looking for their next position knows, this is not a fun activity. I thought back to my experience with staffing agencies and I was reluctant to go down that avenue again. I am thrilled that I did. I applied for a job that I was interested in and was called by Theophany Staffing for an interview. I went with low expectations but was absolutely blown away. I had the pleasure of being interviewed and coached by Erika S. She went far beyond the roll of a recruiter and had me extremely well prepared for interviews. She took the time to go over my background and concisely highlight my career path to best speak to the employer I was targeting. She followed up with me often and kept me informed through the entire process. So many people on here say, "I wish I could rate less than one star but they force you to use one." I wish they had a way to rate more than five stars. Erika would deserve an extra star. If you are checking reviews on staffing companies, you are probably job searching. I would highly recommend Erika and Theophany Staffing.

From the moment I arrived there, the setup was strange where there's a conjoined round table consisting of all Caucasian women. I came in for my interview on time, but I had to wait until they finished their group discussions about other people that they have interviewed which could have been discussed when I wasn't there. During the hour-long interview, I can't help but notice that this agency is "religion-based" (Evangelical Christian). I am a practicing Catholic, but I felt that we should be focusing more on my skills, professional/educational backgrounds, and potentials. It was so cringy as I felt like I was getting recruited to be a part of a ministry or cult. Also, I felt so uncomfortable getting interviewed while there are several conversations going on in the background. I tried to follow up with two of their associates and I never heard back from them which is a blessing in disguise as I would have not been a good fit and I personally wouldn't be happy in the long run. In all honesty this is not a reputable agency, and the Department of Labor should probably look into their practice. For someone who has a background in Human Resources, in my opinion, an agency should practice fairness and equity and Theophany Staffing missed the mark.

I cannot overemphasize the quality, professionalism and attentiveness of The Chicago Hire Company…read more Within days of submitting my application they connected me with several companies with whom I got interviews. Before each interview, they sent me a very thorough prep-sheet. They spent a lot of time on the phone with me getting to know my preferences and career goals. They made contact with me before and after every interview to provide guidance and process the experience. I know they are super busy, but it felt like I was their only client. Also, there was a sense of fun about working with them! I'd utilized three other recruiting agencies before I found them and I'd come to expect poor service and constant checking in to remind them to work for you. My experience at The Chicago Hire Company was completely different. They are excellent and I can't recommend them enough!
