I had a little time before I was going to be let go from a company, so I started looking. Michael…read moreand Nadaa found me on linked in and I have to say it was an outstanding experience. Michael's team met me face to face (prior to covid-19 issues of course) so they could get to know me and what I wanted to find. Almost immediately they had three or four potential opportunities that they reviewed in detail. Look, these people know the companies; they work with them closely to place qualified candidates with appropriate employers. I felt their goal was not just to get me my next gig, but to find the right match for everyone involved. Michael was always available, quick to respond and was there for advice and guidance as we went through the process together. In my case: the team hooked me up with an incredible company that resulted in an incredible offer; one that both the company and I were excited about.

ACT 1 Entertainment is the best agency to work with, hands-down! This branch of ACT-1 is not only…read moreunique to working with accounts within the entertainment industry, yet they are unique in their approach to how they work with people. I've been working with Ashley for about one or two months now. When I met her, she was full of positive energy, which has been a constant in our interaction. She is very professional, while being approachable and works hard to ensure she gets your hired. She is very connected with her accounts. Thus, she provides a lot of insight, which is imperative when matching candidates with the perfect client. Ashley has given me confidence and has been very supportive of me throughout the process of my job search. She is a doll and has an inner light that is magnanimous. Ashley and her supervisor, Leah made me feel like family. When I left the office on the first day, I knew that I had a great team going to bat for me. A lot of agencies will require you to call them constantly for viable job opportunities. However, you will only hear from them once or twice, then after a month or two, you don't hear back from them at all. ACT-1 Entertainment stands a world a head of their counterparts. They are very proactive and work diligently to get you in front of an employer and working right away. Not only do they go to bat for their clients to be interviewed, they make sure you are paid your worth. After sending me out for an interview with one of Ashley's top accounts, she sent me a card to congratulate me on getting the position. That vote of confidence has given me more drive to go into my new job position and do exceedingly and beyond in representation of ACT-1 Entertainment Branch! I can't thank Ashley enough for all her positive energy, affirmation, and support! She is a doll and a great Staffing Manager to work with! The ACT-1 Entertainment team is to be recommended.

I had the pleasure of working with Veronica "Vee" at Pocketbook and from our very first…read moreconversation, I knew this experience would be different. Vee keeps things real while still being incredibly professional. She took the time to understand my personality and who I am, not just what is on my resume. There is so much more to a person than what can fit on a resume, and Vee has a true gift for seeing beyond job titles and responsibilities. She understood what I was looking for and helped connect me with an opportunity that was the perfect fit. Within a week of connecting with Vee, I was offered a role. I felt like I had my own personal lawyer in my corner! Supporting me every step of the way. I never could have imagined having such a positive and pleasant experience during a job search. I am incredibly grateful for her support, genuine care, and ability to see the person behind the resume. I highly recommend Vee to anyone looking for a recruiter who truly takes the time to understand you and advocate for you.

I was guided and supported through what was a long and at times challenging interview process. They both took the time to truly listen, coach me, and keep my confidence up through every stage of the process. Offering me thoughtful guidance and always delivered with warmth and professionalism.

They complement each other perfectly -- bringing professionalism, genuine respect, and a human touch that is rare to find in recruitment.

I started the initial stages of my job search with a lot of enthusiasm and with a list of…read morequalifications that I was determined to find in my next job. I must have submitted my resume into a dozen job agency ads/websites, various online portals (Monster, Ziprecruiter, LinkedInetc) and spoke with many representatives while visiting their offices. Over time, the search became repetitive and discouraging, as it stretched longer than anticipated and I was getting the same dead-end responses from recruiters. It was a breath of fresh air when Elite Placement reached out to me. Right away I noticed the differences in their service. John and his team are certainly the experts that were there to support, ready to communicate, and sincerely want to go above and beyond to find the right job for me. My main contact was John. He was very professional, stayed transparent and accessible to answer any/all questions via email and phone. This was comforting for me because I was not familiar with the "temp to hire" process and I had moments when it was easy to let negatives creep into my thoughts. Please note it is so important to not give up or settle for any offers that are on the table especially if it doesn't fullfill all your requirements. From my first conversation with John to the time I received my official offer letter, it took a total of 6 months. A lot of sacrificing and adjustments were made along the way, but John and his team stayed supportive and encouraging the entire time. Remember that they are on your side! I feel really lucky to have found Elite Placement Group. It is a wonderful feeling and a great sense of accomplishment when finally signing that offer letter. I now hold a position that aligns with my career and within the company of my top choice. I am beyond happy and this is the best gift I can receive right before the Holidays. I feel blessed that I can spend happy times with my family without having to worry about my future. Thank you John and Team! Wishing you guys lots of success and happiness in the future!

Without a doubt, the best staffing service I've ever worked through - ever. (Ever!)…read more I can't begin to say enough good things about Janet Semino, Adrienne Barbee, and the rest of the wonderful recruiters at Matura Farrington. One brief Yelp review won't fully sum up just how indebted I am to these two wonderful women, but it's the least that I can do: _____________ One of the all-too-common pitfalls of working through a staffing agency is that feeling that you're a means to an end - that you're little more than an expendable piece of meat thrown on a conveyor belt that carries you from one job placement to the next. I should know - I've had downright dreadful interactions with other recruiting agencies in the past couple months. From being given a window of just two hours (!!!) to make a decision on taking an iffy temporary position, to being passed over-the-phone from one recruiter, to another, to another's voicemail...I generally regard working with staffing agencies as a total nightmare. In the case of many other staffing firms, it becomes readily obvious that the recruiters themselves couldn't care less about your personal & professional well-being, and that you're nothing more than a means through which they'll receive their commission. Such is not the case with Matura Farrington. ____________ + I must give credit where it is due - and that credit, in this case, lies largely with the efforts of Janet and Adrienne. These ladies worked tirelessly to seek out potential positions that were tailor-made for my academic and working skill set; I never once felt as though I was being rushed into a hasty decision or placed into consideration for roles that I was unqualified for. Throughout the recruiting process, both Janet & Adrienne remained in constant contact with me, giving me up-to-the-minute status reports on my pending applications and continually seeking out new job openings for me to pursue. Investing my trust in Janet and Adrienne proved to be easy and seamless, as their upbeat friendliness, attention-to-detail, and willingness to answer the tough questions (with minimal sugarcoating!) all scored high marks in my book. The Matura Farrington staff also went the extra mile in terms of their interview prep, giving me comprehensive, precise information to ensure that I was never blindsided by or unprepared for any interview process. While the prospect of landing a job lies largely with one's ability to sell his/herself as a candidate, it certainly helps when you've got people in your corner supplying you with the information you'll need to succeed. + In the end, what Janet's & Adrienne's tremendous efforts resulted in for me was a placement in a position that I couldn't be more thrilled & happy about. The staff at Matura Farrington managed to secure a permanent, growth-focused, challenging, and rewarding position for me at a company that I'm thrilled and humbled to be working for. Not a day has gone by in my first few weeks of employment where I haven't been saying a quick "Thank You" in my head for what Janet, Adrienne, and Matura Farrington have helped provide me with. ____________ For those getting cold feet when it comes to working with staffing firms - believe me, I know exactly how you feel right now. That being said, do yourself a favor and see what Matura Farrington can do for you. The recruiters here have a genuine, vested interest in bringing about your immediate and long-term success. I couldn't be more pleased with the work that they've done for me. I wholeheartedly endorse these miracle workers to the fullest!

Finding My Dream Job During A Worldwide Pandemic…read more I saw the most perfect job position posted on Indeed by 80Twenty that aligned with everything I wanted with my career. I applied immediately, and checked for the next few days, if my application had been viewed. Knowing how competitive Los Angeles is, not to mention how much more it is now during a pandemic, I searched for the job posting on LinkedIn, hoping I could and a direct message to the assigned recruiter. At the time the job wasn't posted and there were multiple recruiters that worked with 80Twenty. I went through each profile, seeing if maybe they were separated by industry but I couldn't really tell. So I finally sent a LinkedIn direct message to the CEO of 80Twenty, Annika Brytnse. I sat with anticipation, over-analyzing if I had overstepped, if she would even respond, etc. I've worked with some amazing recruiters before, but often it's difficult to get one to respond back due to the overwhelming response of candidates they usually get. To my surprise, she replied back quickly, providing me an email introduction to Larissa Gerlach, Head of Recruitment Services. My experience with Larissa was absolutely amazing. I was able to speak candidly with her, and she communicated with me at every step. She even took additional time out of her day, to let me practice a Go-To-Market presentation, I had created on my own, hoping it would help give me an edge. She provided feedback and encouragement, that gave me the confidence to present for the executive team. When I received the news I had gotten the job from the client, Larissa didn't just email me congratulations, she called me directly! She explained that our connection wouldn't just stop here. She would be there to assist, even after I started the role. I've never felt so supported by other recruiters before. She went above and beyond her job description. In closing, I would reccomend 80Twenty to both potential clients and applicants. Looking at posts on LinkedIn and my own experiences regarding experiences with recruiters aren't always as positive. Lack of follow-up and full knowledge of what the role entails is often frustrating on both the client and applicant side. Such positive experiences as I've had with 80Twenty should be applauded and shouted to the heavens! Thank you so much 80Twenty for helping me find my dream role, in the midst of a worldwide pandemic!
