I have been with Kelly Services for over 3 years now, and I have been afforded numerous work opportunities through them. Stacey (my recruiter) has been patient, supportive, positive, and keeps me motivated. She has kept in constant communication with me every step of the way between contracted work, and has placed me seamlessly from one contract to another, so there are little to no employment gaps. This service has really been a godsend in a time when unemployment has been so high. Im very thankful. read more

Do Not use this Service. Back in 22' I allegedly had an Interview set up with one of their Recruiters but Never Received a Call. I even have the Interview confirmation email. I guess I'm not Good enough despite having 2 Degrees. Both in Engineering. read more

I'm not sure if the representative I'm working with (Cecelia) works at this location, she has a 669-area code phone number. I was supposedly cleared on my background check and drug screen back around October 25th. I didn't hear from her for several days so I contacted her around November 4th. She said that all my paperwork was good to go, and they were just waiting for Johnson and Johnson to give her new job openings. So I waited another week with no response from her and she said she's still waiting for openings. At this point it seems this job is not going to happen so I stopped contacting her. During this whole process I applied for many other jobs with no call backs. Just for the heck of it, I contacted her again in early December and got no response. I think it's highly unprofessional for a Temp agency to do this. I'm going to file a report with BBB at this point. read more

Nicole is a fantastic recruiter. she's helped me with dozens of opportunities with temp jobs until I get an feel of what I enjoy doing, and with my military background she has been able to find jobs that have prior and or similar experiences. She has a wonderful positive attitude and always willing to help out to the best of her abilities. im located in the South Bay of the Bay Area and she's been looking for jobs in my area or close to it. I'm beyond happy with the opportunities she's given me. Overall she deserves a lot of credit and respect. I honestly would say she's one of the best recruiters I've worked with. read more

My experience with Kelly Services has been beyond AMAZING! I applied for a position and Nicole Lequesne was the recruiter that contacted me. She is like no other recruiter. I've definitely had my share of bad apples. Nicole took the time to prepare me for my interviews. Motivated me when I didn't believe in myself. She kept me in the loop through out the whole process. Email, calls and texts. She definitely did her due diligence. I was able to reach her at all times and believe me I had a lot of questions for her all the time. She's patient, sincere and kind. Most recruiters are just cold individuals and don't care where they place you. With Nicole she wants to you excel in life and your job. As one of her employees I'm beyond grateful for her. If it wasn't for her I wouldn't have been able to get my foot in the door in the bio world. Thank you Nicole for being that bright star in my life! I'm truly thankful for you! read more

It should be illegal to leave false reviews. Chris obviously doesn't have the resume to get himself a job or get himself noticed and expects people like Nicole to give them attention 24/7. Grow up. Make no mistake, nicole LeQuesne is the BEST recruiter I have worked with. I followed her to Kelly services and she has gone above and beyond to help me find my last 3 positions. She would give the shirt off her back for anyone she helps. Not sure why Chris is throwing a tantrum but don't let his false review steer you from an awesome opportunity, nicole is one of the best recruiters in Sacramento and anyone would be lucky to work with her!!! Thank you to all you have done for me and my family nicole LeQuesne read more

worst agency . i think this one word will be enough for anyone who is going to apply a job through this agency. They dont give you any prior notice for termination. If you try to contact them they all are very rude and they don't even answer your phone call. read more

Well... one star seems about right. Why? I went in for my placement interview. They are all in a meeting. Even the receptionist. So why did I get schedules for an interview during the scheduled meeting? I understand, it's great if applicant has excellent resume and can help you get that bonus or commission for job placement... but you didn't need to waste an unemployed person's time that could be spent looking for other work. I was thankful I had a receptionist job the following week. Problem? Yes. I had some really weird schedule. 2-3 days a week every other/couple weeks. So, that gave me plenty of time to look for actually work, right? You betcha! Even the company I was sent to temp at was helping me to look for a job. So when I gave them my notice during my no work week, and in advance. What happens? They call me to go in to work because of my contract. Ummmm. No. I was a filler, I didn't have be there with all the weird 28 days of work through out the year. Don't get me started on my paycheck. I had to call 2 times as well as as email. Needless to say. It took 3 months for a replacement check that never showed up. I suggest payroll hire some of the folks who are currently looking for work. As well as someone who can manage appointments, schedules and meetings. ** this was about a year and half ago read more

really bad. I sent in my application and resume. set up my appointment online and got the confirmation email with time sent back to me but no one called. what a waste of time. DO NOT USE THEM read more

They suck. First day I went in, they offered me a crappy job (even worst paid) like 10 hours a day, 7 days a week, it was like working in China (most people there were illegals), I was just desperate so I said what the heck, I need the money. I just worked hard and responsibly one full Friday and said bye to the supervisor. It was HORRIBLE. Back home at 8 PM - it was too late (and Friday) to let hem know in person that I quit - I left a message in the recruiter's phone, plus sent a couple of emails to her (I don't even remember her name) explaining that I wasn't going back to that "cotton field". On Monday I went to their offices and they told me I was "no longer working" with Kelly - for a year - for "no show no call". I didn't argue, I just said OK and bye - I wasn't wasting my time with pinheads that give you tons of cards with phone numbers and emails they never check. You're all warned. read more

i am writing this on behalf of someone....i truly hope no one decides to receive any kind of employment through this temp agency they lie, do not care about their employees and worst of all will fire you because they failed on their end to submit things correctly! they fired my bf back in 2021 because his original temp agency backed out of their contract and kelly services took over. they stated he did not have the correct paperwork and he needs to resubmit it. instead of giving him time to do so they fired him! when he got rehired 2 months later, they deducted his $25 per hour he was originally hired at to $20 per hour! i think that is bs due to the fact on indeed and other hiring websites you clearly stated a starting pay of $21 or more for the same exact job! we fought to have it back to the original amount but nothing ever got resolved after that. he still continued to work because we needed the money. that should have been the first sign of things to come! jumping to the end of july 2022, he got extremely sick and was in the hospital. when he attempted to return to work with a doctors note, they told us the whole company got laid off. they did not attempt to help any of the temp workers look for other jobs or offer any solutions to continue work somewhere else. kelly services also continued to deduct money out of his account for medical insurance that he could not afford. we called multiple times as well as submit claims via their website but no one reached out to us! on top of that he was not paid after being laid off until a month later! now here is where it gets worse....when he applied for edd, kelly services wrongfully told the state of ca he quit! that is a damn lie! now no one wants to help resolve the issue and we cannot get ahold of any one, surprise surprise!!!!! read more

One of the recruiters called me to submit my resume. The same day they submitted my resume was they same day they claimed that the job was already filled. This place seems like they have people working there that don't know what they're doing. Stay away as its a complete waste of your time. read more

WHere to begin. I think this is one of the worst agency ever. All they did was submit my resume and I got a job for them. After that, their whole processes in that temp agency sucks. They are so lazy, they couldn't even do my paper works right. The recruiter that I was talking to didn't even care to shake my hand or talk to me in person. There management sucks. I couldn't even get in MyDetails for weeks. Didn't even get paid my first paycheck for weeks. It's very frustrating one person is telling you this and that ,while the other telling things they don't even know. I'm making money for them and it seems they couldn't do it right. I have to say Kelly Services blows. read more

I worked for them a couple times and it is a hit or miss thing. Sometimes they have work and sometimes they don't. I was most recently upset with two issues: a payroll issue and my workers comp problem. I injured my hand at a job they placed me in and they sent me to a doctor for treatment but as soon as I went permanent with the company and no longer working for Kelly services they cut all my claims. My hand still hurts everyday and there isn't a damn thing they are going to do about it. They should continue to pay for my treatment! On a good note, they did find me work, but not for the hourly rate I wanted. If your looking for work immediately, try Kelly services... you might get lucky. read more

Wish there was no star for this place. Yes, I was fortunate to have found a temp position that ended up lasting over 3 years, but not once and I mean not once has anyone called to check on me, returned my calls, and when my responsibilities increased significantly - they would not go to bat for me for increase in pay. Nothing. I'm beginning to wonder who is in the office -- hello is anyone there??? If possible, please don't go to this place. read more

Update: 06/20/2014 - I've gotten a different job and enjoy it so much more. My original review of this office was pulled by Yelp! b/c it contained "personal attacks". So, I've removed the names to protect the idiots, I mean innocent. Really, I'm not going to rate and discuss the decor of the office. However, to share my experience, I have to give my personal experience; maybe a little too far naming names (Sorry Linda). But, one will figure out whom I'm speaking of, if one decides to visit this office. Original Post: 05/2014 This office sucks! As you can see from the others' review,it isn't worth your time to sign up. Very dishonest, but I've been working since September...in a job which to be full-time, until it wasn't. I interviewed, got the job and accepted,then, I was told that it would be part-time with the possibility of going full-time in January. It's May, and it's time to go; still working part-time. I must also say that I never heard from Kelly Services once I was placed on the job site. First Red Flag: Recruiter tells me that she wasn't going to share my resume with the Law Registry side of Kelly, which is who I wanted to talk with initially. She refused to do so. Said that she had "3 or 4 jobs that would fit my skills" I didn't believe her but she sent me on an interview, in a field that I have no interest, but I could do the job b/c it's so mind numbing and boring and I could get a quick check. I planned to just wait for this position to end on its own to build a confidence with Kelly so that they would place me somewhere with full-time hours. It never happened; she continues to extend my contract with the client w/out asking me for my feedback. The client also kept telling me that it would be full-time, but couldn't promise anything. Ok fine: I tell the client that I will be looking for other work but I would not leave w/out Kelly sending a replacement. I honestly thought that Kelly was on the side of helping the employee, as well as the client; but that's not the case at all at this office. Again, it's now May; and nothing was being done on the client's end. I finally contacted the Recruiter (since Kelly is my employer; yeah right) to explain the above and my financial situation of working part-time, and to ask her (once again) to send my resume to the legal registry (LR). She then tells me that the LR moved, and doesn't know how to contact them (REALLY??? Cant you just look at Kelly's intranet or your global address book?). Straight away her interpretation of what I was saying was that I didn't like the job. To show some professionalism, I again explained the consequences of my working part-time. She tells me that Kelly doesn't place people when they're already being utilized. It was only when I asked to speak to her manager to explain to her what this woman Linda was up to, she put her arse in gear, but just minimally. She kept calling me on the job site (unprofessional) while I was working, so I responded by emailing her and copying the branch manager. Kelly "threatened" to speak with my manager at the site to "confirm" what I was telling them. I told Kelly Svcs. to go ahead and call. After confirming what I had just told her 20 mins. earlier, Recruiter began to tell me what my manager had already stated to me...like it was new information. By this time, I'm so irritated with Recruiter, I asked, "I just told you this; why are you wasting my time telling me this again?" She says that my manager said something would happen in 2 weeks, and asked if I could wait;( I confirmed with him that he never told her this) it's been close to a month. Recruiter did finally send my info to the LR, (which is now in LA.) but it's like milking a cow to get Recruiter to do anything. Second Red Flag on this office: While filing out the background information for the addresses for the last 7 or 10 years, I didn't have the full address for one that went way, way back; I just had the city. This Recruiter pulls up the city on Google Earth on her computer, and asks me to "point to where" I lived on the map. Then as she zooms in, asked "which house was it?" ...Are you kidding me???? I'm so over this ridiculousness! Even the client has stated that the Recruiter "isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer". That's not a good look when you have your own client saying this to the temp about the Recruiter with whom they work. read more

I had the worst experience working with Kelly services. I was working with them for a client and due to a minor issue at work I got a call later that day and they told me that my job is terminated! They didn't even hear about the situation and instead of standing up for their employee, they terminated me! Worst company to work with! read more

For the last 8 month I work like crazy, 48 to 56 hours a week, after the work is done and slow, the superviser who want take vacation off, than go ahead, I put the from in 08/01/ for request 2 days off and 1 day for the following week, nobody check and sign un till 08/08 I check back, than the manager only sign for 1 day. the recruiter DANDREA is forced me to give back the baged if not coming back on next day, I have to go home and reset my vacation and come back to work next day. she seem like not happy went I come back on time, the next day I come and ask for the from I request for vacation(COPY) try to ask my brother is I do some thing wrong, by that time she was mad than she told me my contract is end, for no reason. Dandrea, she very stud-up and DISCRIMINATION to the ASIAN, one of my coworker come to her because the permanent employee scream at him, she do nothing, and told my friend don't say anything because that guy is peemanent and the customer of the company. And 2 months later my friend coworker get a end contract with no reason. KELLY servivices should check out thi recruiter or KELLY will lose all good employee. TERRIBLE. I would give negative 5 star. read more

I should've known this place would be a joke, just like the rest of the other reviewers stated. One way you can tell... and I should have- one of my old friends got hired here and she has no experience whatsoever and is a dumb ditz. Sure, she's nice but she's really slow and just oblivious. Yes, judge a company by their employees, it'll tell you so much without having to waste your time on them the next time you deal with a crappy company again. read more
