Great experience working with JWilliams, I made a few mistakes but they were very understanding and informative about their processes: check-ins, assignments, scheduling, etc... A great way to get experience if you're wanting to try out a different career! So, I highly recommend this temp agency other applicants. I ended up getting hired by an employer for a more permanent position and I would not have had this opportunity without JWilliams Staffing. read more

As a professional that left the injured street to be a stay at home mom, I got back in it with J Williams to help get hired with a builder. The employees at J Williams that handle staffing played games with me. They would say they had nothing available. I complained two higher ups, and I immediately got work. Also, if you complain about the builders employees, you also will not get work. I should be able to go to my employer, Jay Williams, and let them know. I am being treated poorly. However, they do not like that. So if you get treated poorly by the builders employees, you can forget about complaining to Jay Williams staffing. They don't care and they don't want to hear it. We are not slaves. We are human beings with rights. Overall, you are going to work like a dog and get paid very little money. I did meats and greets, toward models, toward construction sites, everything that the sales agents did short of signing the reservation and got paid $15 per hour! I would not recommend Jay Williams staffing. read more

I had a great experience with JWilliams Staffing, I was looking to step back into leasing again, and they were able to assist me do just that. In less than two weeks, I had my interview, an offer and placement! Diana and Gia were my main points of contact throughout the process and were always available and communicative. As a result, I was able to secure a direct hire position thanks to this amazing company. In my opinion they really value their employees. -AS read more

They expect temporary employees to be available and stay glued to their phones, but don't offer consistent work. It can seem like they don't actually want you to find permanent work since they ignore communication about buyouts, they want you to just be a temp forever. If you have a valid concern that they can't understand, they treat you as if you're so much below them because you're a temp and they have nice elevated job titles so they don't have your same worries. They have a new home sales department and real estate positions here, but they expect you to hang your real estate license with them and do temporary work at a low hourly wage with no commission. read more

Very poor treatment third time I'm OUT. You're a last minute afterthought. Builder recruiter arrogant, I was sold a bill of goods. My bad. read more

Beware of their agent, Alston Thomas. He was working at CA Flat Fee and left, abandoning all his clients. After three weeks of no replies, a colleague at CA flat fee reached out to tell us how sorry they are to find out about how Alston just dumped his clients when he left, they say they had no idea. So I will be warning as many folks as possible, he is shady, look for an honest, reliable realtor, Alston Thomas is horrible. read more

I had the pleasure to be interviewed and hired by Brandon at JWilliams. I was interviewed on Thursday, hired by Friday and got an ongoing assignment in one of the best property management companies in the country. I was literally working full time in an ongoing assignment that became temp to hire. I would have never got a job at this management company without JWilliams help. Brandon and the staff are super professional, quick and pleasant to work with. Even though I ended up accepting a position with a different management company, I am very grateful for the opportunity and would recommend to anyone I know! read more

Nothing but great things from JWStaffing. I was hired on and was assigned to a shift as a temp the very next day and landed an amazing full time position a month after being with JW Staffing. Big thank you to Brandon!!! I'm thankful to have joined them. read more

First and foremost, Araceli Morris with JWilliams Staffing is amazing! I simply applied online and within 72 hours, I was on my first Assignment! I hesitated getting back into the Real Estate industry after Covid, and with the ease and comfort Araceli and her manager Marlo made me feel with all my questions and concerns, I wish I would have joined sooner! Thank you JWilliams Staffing!! read more

had such a great experience! I worked with Brandon. He helped me find a temp to hire community where he assisted me with climbing into the next position that I was seeking. I couldn't be more happy. Brandon took my resume and placed me where I felt I should be without hesitation. I am so grateful! read more

I used to work as a temp. They claim to assist with goals and becoming hired full-time. It is misleading. There was very little contact and use Temps as a commodity. I would not work there. They only care about their bottom line profits and they are a franchise now read more

The best temp agency. I was interviewed by Claudette, she is so awesome. When I was hire on with JWilliams Staffing every employee I encountered was helpful, kind and so professional. My scheduler was, Angie and she kept me so busy. This is a great place to work if you want to get to know the New Home Sales business. Thank you JWilliams Staffing, thanks to you I have now been hired on by a major builder. read more

Unprofessional!!! After moving your license they will just not care anymore. The assignments has absolutely nothing to do with what they promote in the meeting. I have tried contacting Daniel ( new home sales recruiter) many times and all my calls were ignored, tried cell phone and his office phone but nothing. That is so disrespectful and unprofessional! If they try to convince you that you can actually make any money by working with them, don't believe. No company is hirinG and Jwilliamsstaffing pays the minimum, I have met a girl on site who was working with a famous builder for over one year and was never even hired. So if you're thinking about joining this staffing agency thinking something good will come out of it, don't wasteyour time Responding to your comment! I don't know what or how much information you have about this ccase, but definitely your reply is not the correct one! You're wrong! I was never unresponsive, one of your employee was very clear that Daniel is very busy also, and there was no assignments other than covering for other people! If you have any question give me a call, I will be more than happy to provide the amount of times I called your team member. But thanks for answering At least someone can respond! Have a blessed weekend! read more

JWilliams Staffing is an amazing staffing agency. I have been working with them for awhile. Brandon,who is the sales manager,always gets back to you and his team like Elise Tran are continually trying to find the right spot for you. I have nothing but great things to say about them !!!!!!!!!! read more

Great temp agency, Brandon is a pleasure to work with! Very responsive and they immediately place you on assignments that fit your experience and skill set. Professional and communicative! read more

JWilliams Staffing, and particularly Brandon of the Southern California division provided me with the best experience and help in getting hired by the biggest property management company in the country. Brandon personally guided me through the interview process and helped me make this huge step in my career. JWilliams got me this opportunity via a temp-hire role, so that I was able to learn and transition from my experience working with privately owned multi-family property management companies to the corporate environment where I have endless possibilities for growth within the company. Thank you so much for all the care and attention I received in this process! read more

I won't go into all of the "gory details", but suffice to say that this was a horrible experience with this recruiting firm. I registered online last week. When I called to follow up on specific property management positions, I was told to speak with Claudine Kanjo. After leaving her quite a few messages & not hearing back from her, she finally left a message today saying that she was interviewing in Burbank. Had I known that they didn't have a nearby office, I wouldn't have wasted my time trying to connect with this person. As a long time working person, I've dealt with many recruiting firms in my life. This is by far, the worst experience I have had. Their total lack of professionalism, follow-up, & responsiveness is unbelievable. A job search is challenging & frustrating in of itself, without having additional frustration from a recruiter. Heads up to all Yelpers about this recruiting firm! Be warned & cautious if you do decide to work with them. read more

This a great company to work for!! It was a great experience!! I started with Jwilliams in Oakland and jobs over there were abundant!! Marlo Brooks takes care of you! She is professional and diligent! She was attentive to my needs on one of our phone calls and she gets my shiny, bold five ***** ! I relocated back to San Diego and within a couple of weeks I was working again! Unbeknownst to me my pay was lowered, however when I called staff to inquire, they were professional and I was able to negotiate some of it back!! Very attentive and treated me with respect! Brandon was amazing! I have since, been hired on to a permanent position as assistant manager at one of the assignments I was on --through Jwilliams!! If ever need be I would go back to Jwilliams!! I highly recommend them!! These guys are awesome! read more

Please be aware this staffing agencies discriminates. I applied for a position and received an interview. The recruiter said I was a great match. She told me the work hours are 8-5. I said the ad stated part time. Oh what I meant was 8-5 for three days a week. I said oh okay that will work. She tells me she will email an application and a background check would be completed then I would called for an assignment. After the interview she did not send me the application. I left a message asking for it and never heard back. The following day I receive an email from her stating I am no longer a candidate for the opening without any explanation. I called and left a message for her to call me. She calls and tells me she concerned about me not being able to work an 8 hour day, (this is because I had told her I wanted part time and was an older applicant), I reminded the recruiter we had already established I could work an 8 hour day for three consecutive days. She then tells me okay we will put you in circulation for job assignments. Then I receive another email stating I am not being considered for any job assignments. At this point I can't believe the games she is playing with me. I make a follow up call asking for the VP to escalate my concerns about discrimination. The receptionist diverts me to HR only to discover my emails from the HR email address they provided is not deliverable. I have never experience this kind of unprofessional treatment in my entire career. I do not recommend using this staffing agency under any circumstances. read more

I've only been with JWilliams since July, but it's been a great experience. I interviewed with Jessica and was called about an assignment right away. Once that assignment was done, I was immediately contacted with a weekend gig and then another long-term gig. I've been working with Karrington and he is very quick to answer any questions I've had. He's also been very fast to get any placements finalized for me and has called me specifically for jobs. I have never had an issue with getting paid. Anyone complaining of the rate of pay needs to remember that this is a TEMP agency and the properties are not going to give you the same work load they'd give a full-time employee. I would highly recommend his agency to anyone interested in temping in the leasing industry. read more

I recently joined JWilliams Staffing and I'm very happy that I joined this agency. The amount of assignments that they receive are great and the communication feels tailored to YOU. I'm currently working with Brandon and he's exceeded my expectations with providing me opportunities as well as pushing a raise for me on my first week! If you're in the property management/ real estate industry give this a try. You won't regret it! read more

They are very accommodating with my schedule. I appreciate the transparency of management, and the company culture is very positive top down. read more

Oh Geez! I have been on both sides of the fence. I have used J Williams staffing when I was on-site as a property manager. I found a WONDERFUL employee through them who had just started in the industry. They trained her and she is still working at the original property 2 years later. She has also been promoted since her hire. They recognize good talent and will place you to work if you show promise. I have never been disappointed with any of the help they have sent me. I also signed up with J Williams when i was looking for a job. I was sent out on temp assignments and for interviews under their division that looks for permanent hires. I was hired by the company they paired me with and I could not be happier. Claudine is in fact busy, but she will call you back. I got a call after 5:30 or 6:00 once but I was looking for a job. Heck yeah I am gonna answer my phone no matter the time. I had to be a little flexible, but again, I WAS LOOKING for a job. I have always been treated with respect. As a side note: whenever I have applied on-line for a job, I have always had to provide my social security number as well as my DL#. That request is not unreasonable. This is a legitimate company. No shady, sketchy behavior from them. After reading the previous yelp reviews about this company I am seriously considering not trusting yelp anymore. read more

I have worked for JWilliams since 2013, I have had some great assignments and also been hired directly, I would like to thank the staff at JWilliams Lisa, Karrington and Del for finding me suitable assignments and making sure I am taken care of, thank you! read more

My experience has been the opposite. I signed with J. Williams in November of 2013 after meeting with Claudine (yes in Burbank) and within two weeks, was on an on-going assignment. Since then I've worked at over 14 properties and even turned down offers of employment from a couple properties because I like the flexibility of temping. I've recommended other friends to J. Williams who in turn recommended others and we're all working. Yes Claudine, at times, gets a little behind with return calls and messages but what employer (temp or permanent) doesn't? Not making excuses, but as job seekers we have to be persistent and sometimes patient. If you can make the drive, it's worth it. read more

I worked with JWilliams Staffing as a new home sales temp. Within 2 months they helped me find employment with a home developer! They were awesome to work for/with. Victoria is awesome and I would recommend them to anyone to work for! read more

A 1 star is way too much, if i could give you 0 stars i would, I have been with this Sh!^* Co for about a year, this is my issue: it started ok, I got some assignment at the beginning, but than, they started to disappear, every week I would send them my assignment schedule, specifying the days I could and could not work, on the days I could not work, they would call me and ask me to work, (seriously) do you even looked at the schedule? than, I would get assignments from different people in the scheduling department, Marco, Many and others, I would get the assignment, (Marco is an A$$*) I would show up, and it turns out they had canceled the assignment, and I wasted a whole fucken day when I could have been doing other things to generate business since I am able to do Re-Sale, this happened A LOT!!! SO UNPROFESIONAL AND DON'T GIVE A SINGLE F*#$* ABOUT YOUR TIME, when you call and asked them, so what happened? why didn't you call me/text to tell me the client had canceled?, This way, i wouldn't have rushed to get ready and go to the assignment, their stupid response was, 'I'm sorry, I just saw the note" this was hours later and on a few occasions, the client had called a day before to cancel, but they don't bother to look at the notes. When this Pandemic happened, or around when it started, I was sent to an assignment, and same shit, I got there and the office was closed, I called the onsite agent to find how to get into the office since the key was removed from its original location, and in other instances the super intendant for a location, said to me, "we called JWilliams to cancel, didn't they tell you?" NO THEY DID NOT. HEY, WHERE IS YOUR PREFESIONALISM AND RESONSABILITY TO US, WHERE??? I had to find out thru an on site agent at a builder's site that JWILLIAMS was canceling all assignments, so if you say you "CARE" where the hell were you with this very important information about canceling all assignments? and now that the market is opening up, I have been talking with a few clients-prospects that I have, they are looking for a new construction home, so I invited them to come over to take a look to a site, this was WAY before I got the assignment and before I even knew about the CO needing someone go to a site to cover a shift at that location. I get a call, and she is telling me that I can't do that, and I cannot invite my clients to a site when I am on assignment, ok I can get that part, and I can also understand where the conflict of interest might arise, but this happened before I got the assignment and WAY BEFORE I EVEN STEPED FOOT ON THIS LOCATION, hey, you say you care about your reputation with your clients, well, let me ask you, do you even care about your AFFILIATES AT ALL??? because you sure as hell don't show it, and to add to this, YOU can't tell me i can't make money (not in so many words) but if i have a client, i am making a SALE because your minimum wage is NOT PAYING THE BILLS, so we (Licensed Agents) had to look elsewhere to make money and make ends meet. I tried calling one guy at your office to help me with my resume and possibly getting hired around last October/November (Claudette gave me his name, but can't remember it, Claudette was the only person that showed care and compassion for the stress that one goes thru in this type of assignments, so my thanks to her), This guy, I only spoke with him for a few seconds before i had to hang up (i was on assignment and a prospect had come into the sales office) and when i tried calling him back, nothing, not even crickets, i sent him emails, called several times and left him a message, and NOTHING, he did not care, never called me back or emailed me. another proof that this Co. does not care about the agents that are trying to get into new home sales. I can go on and on and on, and this could turn into a 100 page B.S. I guess you can say with this review, i am telling you that I QUIT, I JUST GOT TIRE OF YOUR BULLSHIT- AM MAKING MORE MONEY THAN $13 P/HR. WORKING ONLY 1-3 DAYS PER WEEK (if that). the agents that got in to new home sales, good for them, and you got lucky, yes lucky. JWILLIAMS DON'T TELL YOU THAT IT IS HARD TO GET INTO THIS BUSINESS, BUILDERS WANT EXPERIENCE AS A NEW SALES AGENT, FOR THE MOST PART, BUILDERS WON'T EVEN CONSIDER YOU IF YOU DON'T HAVE EXPERIENCE, i am writing this, because of all of the conversations i have had with Superintendents, New Home Sales Agents and even a few of the recruiting managers for builders. DO YOUR HOMEWORK BEFORE JOINING THIS CO. *don't even bother replying to this review, or you will get another dose of negative facts i have and did not mention here. read more

Stephen Nissou, the Regional Manager for San Diego has been a huge help in finding us temps for the properties I manage! It has been very difficult finding and keeping staff at the properties and Stephen has been amazing in taking the recruiting off my shoulders so I can focus on managing my sites. We continue to use JWilliams regularly and have had success in hiring some great people! read more

They are incompetent imbeciles that are penny wise pound foolish! Don't work for them. They pay minimum wage and don't know a valuable employee from a moron. That's because they're morons! They don't know the first thing about sales let alone customer service. They don't communicate amongst themselves except to cover their assess for the multitude of mistakes they make. They won't pay you when they accidentally send you to an assignment they weren't supposed to and they fight tooth and nail to not pay you when the client requests you to work. They don't recognize talent when stared in the face by it. Penny wise pound foolish, cut their nose to spite their face. Steer clear! You're worth more! read more

Great training and coaching, JWILLIAMS is truly a company who wants me to succeed

great place to work when you are either a veteran in the industry and looking for work in-between jobs or if you are a newbie trying to get your foot in the door this is the best place to start ! They provide you with all of the tools and resources that you need to success as well as training. They provide you with a quality platform to excel. Professional staff, and heir hourly rate is competitive as well. read more

Lauren has been wonderful to work with! She contacted me about an open position and helped me prepare for the interview and follow up. She has been so positive and sincere during this process. I am very grateful for her! Highly recommend her! read more

I think it is strange how they want your social security number right online. Other applications I fill out online never ask for my social security number. Even a driver's license number I do not have a problem with, but a social security number is going too far online. I felt very uncomfortable filling out the job application and just decided to not even finish it. read more

They refuse to pay for their orientation/training, even though it's mandatory and payment is the law. When I asked about this, I received a very rude response and they refused to set me up with a time card. I even contacted a labor attorney who said they are wrong, yet, nothing. Also, I did everything they told me to, down to the gnats ass, and after 6 weeks have received "O, zero, zilch" hours of work. They demand you move your RE license to them, which means you can't work unless they provide it. And they don't provide work. Wish I knew how they stay in business. If I could give them "Zero" stars I would. read more

My experience with JWilliams Staffing to date, has been excellent. Jessica has been nothing but professional. She has a positive attitude and is a joy to work with. She takes time to really get to know each applicant. Her attention to detail and dedication is why she stands out and serves as a testament to what JWS stands for. She deals with several applicants on a daily basis but always finds time to reply to my inquiries. As far as the staff, the ones I've dealt with have been first rate. In today's economic climate, jobs are still scarce. Having an advocate like Jessica and JWS definitely helps. read more

It was a great experience with JWilliams in Southern California. I recently moved from San Francisco Bay Area to Orange County; my work experience in the last 10 years was in the New Home industry. Through a friend's referral, I connected with Jessica, Senior VP of JWilliams Southern California Division. She immediately set up appointment to meet me and walked me through the New Home industry down South. She also told me that she would call around the builders to find the right match for me. After a week, I got appointment from her to meet the builder. During the process, Jessica also help on transferring my resume to the builder in a timely manner. Jessica is very detail oriented, very professional and willing to help; she set me the right expectation so I have no surprised. I truly recommend Jessica & JWilliams. - KC - read more

Not impressed. I am a management company trying to give them business and they are unresponsive. I have attempted to contact them on 3 different occasions by phone, email and website and to no avail. Not the best way to start out a business parternship. I'll try elsewhere. If I do get a response, I'll update review, but a return call to a potential customer is a very basic requirement for doing business, so far they havn't been able to do that. read more

The JWilliams Staffing team in the Sacramento area was great to work with! I was looking to get experience in new home sales, as my past experience was in other professions, and they were able to hire me on and get me started on an assignment within a few weeks. Although I had preferred a closer assignment, my assignment ended up being a great fit for me. The agents I got to meet were amazing, and I learned a lot. Victoria, Brandy and Elise were awesome! They were very responsive anytime I called in for scheduling updates. They were also very supportive and flexible. Overall, great experience. I definitely recommend them, if you are trying to get new home sales experience. Financially, you'll be on a tight budget working as a temp, but if you can manage it, the experience you gain will be worth it. I got hired on by a builder after working with them for 5 months, so the time and effort I put in was worth it! read more

J Williams Staffing is a horrible place to work! Unprofessional. They promise to place you and that is a lie. Their pay is lower than any other Temp job, they are so unorganized they call you to work when you are already on assignment, they call you to check in daily when you have already checked in...this is constantly. The most professional person who worked there Quit because of all the complaints. Do not work for them go with another company. This company does not care about the employees. read more
