You may not get enough hours to be considered part- or full-time. This agency is better for per diem, on-call, or temp work while you're transitioning professionally. Parking also sucks at their main downtown location.

They were prompt, professional and really took the time to fit my wants and needs with a position that I both feel comfortable with as well as pay my bills. I've experienced a few other staffing companies only to be ghosted or sent to a job I didn't want so the staffing company makes their numbers. Remedy is DIFFERENT. Thank you Natasha and Shamir, you guys really helped and did the stressful part of job hunting for me.

I went to meet with certain recruiters at HiEmployment before…read more I found them decent. I did like meeting Angela Parra. I thought she was fabulous. Even though nothing came to be, she gets a star. I liked Vanessa Perez. She spoke about my potential as a candidate. But she left after one year or so. She gets a star. When I spoke with Barbara Guss, she said she will contact a law firm in Hawaii on my behalf. But she called me two months after the fact. I already got a job on my own. Aside from those ladies, I rarely get calls from them. Even if I did, a recruiter from the education section referred me to a remote part of the island. I tell them again and again that I don't have a car. They don't listen. In certain cases, I felt like they set me up for failure. I felt like I wasted my time with them. Pass.

Altres made my experience as a first time mother extremely stressful. I went over two months…read morewithout pay because they dragged their feet processing my TDI claim. They asked Pacific Guardian Life to violate HIPAA rights and share my doctors portion of the TDI claim to which PGL cc'd me onto the email showing they had asked for that. They refused to file their portion of the claim online like my doctor and myself had submitted (the recommended way). So I reluctantly agreed to share my doctors portion of my TDI claim to which they then lost when it was faxed to them. I then went another two weeks waiting for an update, only to find out from PGL that they were waiting for a correction to be made on Altres behalf. PGL said I qualified for 100% financial compensation of my pay but Altres said I only qualified for 50%. When I asked when the request was made, I was told they had emailed them on a Wednesday, it was Monday when I found that out. Then when I called Altres they said they had JUST received the email that morning. How convenient... The benefit specialist I dealt with was Alicia Tanouye. Altres should be ashamed for trying to get one by on a vulnerable first time mom. Having me go over two months without pay is just shameful and to try to undercut a full time employee.

Be warned, his accusations will come completely from left field. No preparation, no hint, completely unexpected. Once you start getting a grasp on what he is even saying he will hang up on you and pretend you don't exist.

Meanwhile you're the one who has to suffer because people like him are directly contributing to keeping you out of the workforce.

There are a…read morenumber of staffing agencies in Honolulu, so there are options if one is on the job hunt, however the staff at Bishop and Company make a job seeker feel like they have a team on their side. They came back to me with offers that fit my criteria that I never found on Craigslist or Monster; and trust me, I was looking. I was contacted quickly, interviewed quickly, and received phone calls, e-mails, and follow ups frequently during my job search. Their testing and screening process is well thought out and helps tailor the types of job the candidate is best suited for, including a factor the candidate's choice of environment. Every job possibility that one of the recruiters offered me was one that fell within the outline that I indicated. At no point did a recruiter try to pressure me into taking a job below my standards just to get a posting completed. I was treated with respect, courtesy, and worth; all qualities that suffer an assault during a job search, especially if it begins to drag on. Bottom line, though their business is a business, they seem genuine in wanting to get the job-seeker hired in a permanent position where they can be successful.

I was contacted by Denelyn in late August and promptly answered her questions after applying from a…read moreposition with them online. Denelyn stated that she would share my resume and encouraged me to contact her if I had any additional questions. I followed up with Denelyn again on September 8, but I have not received a response. Just crickets. Communication is a fundamental part of the recruiting process. When a recruiting firm reaches out to a potential candidate, follows up, and then stops communicating without explanation, it creates a poor candidate experience and raises concerns about how the firm communicates with the people it represents. Potential candidates and employers considering working with Bishop & Co. should take the company's communication practices into account. Best not to waste your time.

I am a former HR and payroll professional. I can do everything Talent can do myself but didn't have…read morethe time because I have an entire business to run. Someone I know suggested these folks to me so I contacted them to see how they might be able to simplify my life. Everything went OK until they dropped the ball on something and I had to complain to get the problem solved, but I tried to be professional about it. Sanjay's reaction was so scripted and over the top I would have laughed if it didn't tick me off so much. He said he felt threatened by me, which is a classic HR tactic to shut down dissent. Also that they already put a lot of time into me for free. What? I'm a potential new customer who needs to know what you have to offer before I decide to do business with you. Your job is to impress me in a process otherwise known as sales. I owe you nothing. They probably do a good job otherwise but you would have to like their style. I wouldn't expect great treatment of my employees, though, if they can't manage it when the owner who pays the bills expresses some small amount of dissatisfaction. It used to be that very small businesses could only find affordable insurance rates by going through one of these PEOs, but that is no longer true. Laws have changed and there are less expensive options now. So I'm back to doing everything myself, but with the help of standalone apps for payroll and HR, and that keeps it all manageable.

I've been working with Alliance Personnel now for YEARS and I don't know why I didn't write a…read morereview for them and their professional service and personality. For me and a few of my corporate affiliates, Alliance is hired to provide temporary placement and and sometimes temporary to permanent hire. They work hard to find hires to fit each and every need. The group of women who work here including June who is the owner of the company are by far your "what you see is what you get" type people. There is no fanfare or fluff; just down right employment opportunities. So if like me you may be looking for temporary workers or temporary to permanent, Alliance is the one for you. I can't speak to as the one looking for employment as I've not been in that situation with Alliance. Based on my own experience with Alliance and its staffing, I can honestly say they are in the profession to deliver! Whether you are looking for temporary staff assignments, permanent placements or temporary to hire, Alliance is the place for you. I've not been disappointed ever!

I have worked with Ms. June Fernandez for many years along with several of her staff members and…read morehave found each time that they consistently demonstrate a true caring and understanding of my strengths and limitations. All too often, I have found that people are very hesitant to point out limitations for fear of losing a friend, client, and or customer. June has always pointed out both my strengths in terms of work experiences and skills, as well as my limitations, and I am particularly appreciative of June taking the time to honestly evaluate my limitations which I lack the objectivity to acknowledge. June's wisdom has provided me with tremendous insights which I have used to guide my vocational options. June's staff members have always been extremely professional and have consistently provided me with valuable assistance. I am profound appreciative of June and her staff and I am able to honestly state that Alliance Personnel has provided me with greater customer service than the other staffing agencies that I have attempted to work with over the years.
