I can't get enough of PTP!…read more Close to two years ago I nearly solidified my decade long tenure at Alameda county working as an EA with CIOs and CTOs as long as I can remember. I wanted a job sector change and venture out what's out there. I tried many opportunities with two other hiring firms but both have been discriminating against my previous experience. This one other particular firm interviewed me and told me my EA background in government is laughable. After many years of public engagement, being trusted by my executives, actually thinking I was a bigger part of something in my career, I had one other hiring agency told me I wasn't worth it. It hurt so much. It wasn't until my friend told me about PTP. I was already traumatize with hiring agencies I wanted to bypass PTP altogether. So flashback to 1.5 years ago. I placed in an application through LinkedIn and was immediately contacted by Sue, Jackie, and Rebecca. I went to interview at their Palo Alto location (an actual chic office and not some shanty bedroom/house converted office) and immediately wanted to get to know me. Rebecca sat down with me and listened to my needs. Why I was searching. Why want venture capital? Why go after start ups? What was your culture like in government sector? I couldn't believe my eyes. Rebecca was acting like that one friend who always wants updates on you. It didn't feel like an interview, it felt like you were sitting down at brunch and talking casually with Rebecca and giggling, just enjoying atmosphere and talking about career. I left their office in good graces. Sure enough, they had 2 JDs for EA and EA/OM after two weeks. I got a job at a VC firm! Ladies and gentlemen, top recruiting is not about making money. These recruiters know that you are already a good fit at the start, they will help you mold into it. Other hiring agencies could benefit from this tip. Thank you so much Premier Talent Partners! I would 100% recommend!

Do you like working with professionals with personality and heart? Do you need to trust…read moreprofessionals with your career? If so, do not move along. You have found them. I first submitted a profile which was very easy to do. They do a good job cutting the barriers to employment. Within a day, I was contacted by Julia B. We set up an initial interview to just get to know me. We had such a pleasant conversation. Despite the current Pandemic Crisis we are in, we were able to discuss our thoughts on the situation because it is unavoidable, then we proceeded to the interview. It was smooth, she was clearly an eloquent communicator and very passionate about her job. She informed me next steps and we were done in our allotted 15 minute time frame. Julia continued to be responsive. She provided me two emails. Just two. One to set up the interview with the recruiter with tips included (bonus) and one to confirm my interview. The day of, she reminded me of the interview via 1 text. Then there was Grace S. The interview was scheduled for 30 minutes. Get two HR Professionals in a room that truly understand service for others and what the HR profession is about and you will quickly notice 30 minutes is not a lot of time. Grace is the recruiter you want by your side. She takes the time to know you by listening to you, actively, and she takes an interest in what makes you, you. That is exactly what a recruiter needs to do. One that can present you completely. Not just by resume, but really "go to bat for you." You instantly feel safe and trust when you speak with her. She is honest and she is open. In times of where we really need to earn people's trust, Grace goes the extra mile to earn it. I thoroughly enjoyed our conversation and her blunt honesty. As an 15+ year HR professional, this was pleasant experience and a great choice for me. Julia and Grace are great representations of "PREMIER TALENT PARTNERS" and I look forward to building long lasting professional relationships with them and their colleagues. Many of us are being adversely affected by the crisis. In these times, turn to people who will take it upon themselves to ensure your success. They truly care and they truly want the best for you, at least that is how I felt. Remember they are humans too, I brought positivity to the table and got a great result. Come in with a good attitude and you will see, they will provide great service. They are professionals through and through. Don't wait any longer, choose the best, choose Premier!

I was laid off for the first time in the summer of 2010 and Courtney made the scary process of finding a new position quick, seamless and even comforting! She was able to find me an assignment within a few days and placed me at a local client on a five-month temp assignment. Once that assignment ended, she re-assigned me to another client, which was an equally amazing experience. I actually learned the basics of HR (my now career field) working on the second assignment she placed me at. When I was available again, I asked her for something in the HR field and she offered me a game-changing opportunity - the chance to work for her as the first full-time, dedicated recruiter for Menlo Partners Staffing, her own firm. She mentored and trained me from the ground up and is the reason I am the staffing professional that I am today. For her, I am forever grateful and will always appreciate the professional experience and wisdom she shared with me. She is an expert in the staffing industry and you are no doubt in good hands with her as a client company or candidate she's representing. She will fight for you and make sure it's the best possible fit on both sides of the desk. In the beginning I would ask her, "how do you know this person will work in that position?" and she would reply, "I just know, I can feel it in my gut." Little did I know those gut feelings came with 20+ years of experience in the staffing business and can't be taught overnight, but I always remember joking with her about that! I like to think because of her mentoring over the years, I have that "gut" feeling too. Courtney is one of a kind and it is nice to know there are people like her left in the sometimes cut-throat staffing business. She is a lifetime friend and someone I will always look up to on a professional note. Call Menlo Partners Staffing today!

Worst staffing agency ever. I tried applying for multiple jobs in the same field but for some…read morereason I get offers for things that have nothing to do with what I originally applied for. I think they aren't even checking resumes to see what your background is either. Also, I've been getting a lot of random calls from their recruiters that I'm guessing are out in india, even though I haven't job searched in almost 2 years now. They really need to fire everyone and just hire new people that actually know how to recruit folks for the jobs that they're trying to find instead of guessing. Trash recruitment agency. Don't waste your time!

Their hope is that you'll let them be the one to turn in your resume, granting them the right to leech a few dollars from every paycheck you get.

This is also the type of company that outsources some of their spamming duties to India, while assigning them fake American names like "Pam Miller". They're also disrespectful -- tell them to never call you again and they still will -- not to mention laughably uncoordinated (expect to be called multiple recruiters about the same gig).

So now I will share my end. I was applying for a job on Indeed and failed to recognize that the position I applied for requires job experience.

I was interviewing with this jerk who did a good job of giving me interview and resume tips but later on he ended up berating my mental health. WHAT KIND OF SERVICE IS THIS. YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO OFFER PEOPLE JOBS IN WHAT THEY ENJOY DOING NOT MAKE THEIR MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES WORSE. It really upsets me that Robert Half legal decides to be mean to me. It makes me kind of mad that Robert Half Legal doesn't know how to hire their own people. Cmon, if you want to hire good people don't be in in for the money. If you want to hire good people, hire me to run your HR. I don't respond to idiots. Now they want me to complete a lame assessment. I got no time for those because I am in therapy.

In the summer of 2008 I was going through a crisis. My cat was dying of cancer and I was a wreck, trying to find a job and take care of my dying cat at the same time. Victoria was super sweet and empathetic - one of the nicest temp agents I've ever worked with. She quickly found me a temp job that paid very well, and as she described it, having this place on my resume is like saying I'd gone to Harvard. She turned out to be right. Even though it was just a temp assignment, it worked out really well for me, and since I was able to put this place on my resume, it helped me get two (permanent) job offers later. I should also mention that she was also able to get me an interview with a really good VC firm. Although I didn't end up working for them (I got a job with a different VC), it did pay very well and it was in a really nice office. Victoria is awesome. The Six Degrees office is in a nice location in Redwood City / Redwood Shores. If you are living on the Peninsula or in the bay area and looking for a good temp agency I would highly recommend these guys.

It just felt like they didn't give me credibility, just discomfort. :(

The career and training advisors care and they do the best they can to provide guidance and advice. The advisors that I have worked with have been very positive, encouraging, and helpful. NOVA also offers a variety of workshops to cover various needs for job seekers (resume writing, interview skills, LinkedIn tips, etc). However, where I find NOVA really comes through for its members is access to resources. During my time, I was given opportunities to attend job fairs, an event at the LinkedIn campus, and regular networking events. Every Thursday NOVA also brings in a guest speaker to present key topics. Many of these speakers are very open to providing you with free consultations where I've had the chance to get different perspectives on my resume, career coaching, and networking advice. NOVA members also get free access to LinkedIn Premium and LinkedIn Learning for a year and courses on IBM SkillsBuild for 6 months. Most importantly, what you get with NOVA is a community of advisors and members to support you so you don't feel as if you're doing this job search alone. Best of all, all of these services and offerings cost you NOTHING, as long as you live within the qualified cities. Joining NOVAworks does not guarantee you will find a job because there is no one-size-fit-all approach to job searching. As a job seeker it's important to find an approach that works best for or is most comfortable to you. In that respect, NOVAworks does a great job of providing a foundation to work with, and fairly limitless access to tools and resources, that can enable and empower you.
