I cannot rave about Manning enough! I have a very "unique" background, that is hard to fit in the…read morejobs I was applying for, due to a career change because of certain circumstances, leaving me burnt out and depressed in the job application process. I went months and months of applying endlessly, and the only interviews I seem to get were the ones where I had a connection (and I'm not particularly good with networking to begin with, so they were far and few). I searched for 'top recruiters in Boston' and let's just say they all disappointed. I won't mention them by name, but they wasted my time, gave me false hope and had little follow-through on their part, with no contact for months, and I would get pathetic, measly replies after hounding them. After being burnt several times by useless recruiting agencies (you know who you are), I decided that I will try the next one down the list, with no expectations whatsoever. I worked primarily with Dave, and he was so caring and kind, and I finally felt I had my own cheerleader in this dreadful job hunting process. Within a week, he had 3 interviews lined up for me. Within 2.5 weeks, from first contact, I started my new job! I would've started sooner if it weren't for the holidays. They really follow-through, and when they say they're looking for openings for you, they mean it! Before every interview, I had a call with Dave to prep me for what's to come. I didn't even ask for it -- he just did it! They went above and beyond, and they continue to keep in touch with me to make sure all is good in the new place. I met several former Manning candidates in this job and other places I interviewed, and they all have nothing but amazing things to say, and it's no surprise there. I know at this point I am sounding like I get commission for endorsements lol, but the truth is, I was in a difficult spot, mentally, financially, and I would want anyone else in a similar situation to find the same help that I did. Vocational rehabilitation, if you will. Save yourself the frustration, and start with them first.

I can not rave enough about my partnership with MPG. In addition to being the sweetest people on…read moreearth, they also value your time and experience. It was so refreshing to have people in your corner who are dedicated to getting you placed in a role. Ellie is an absolute sweetheart and she and Kelly worked around the clock to get me into a position. I'm genuinely a little sad that I won't get my daily (yes, you read that correctly DAILY) updates from my girls at Manning. Thank you so much to the Manning team! Work with them, you will not regret it!

I recently had a phone screening with a recruiter regarding an operations position. While I…read moreappreciated her willingness to discuss my background and her offer to meet virtually to review my résumé and help identify opportunities that may be a good fit, I found the overall communication style during the screening to be unnecessarily blunt and, at times, discourteous. I completely understand the need for recruiters to ask direct questions and provide constructive feedback, and I genuinely value that perspective as someone who also interviews and hires people. However, I felt that some of the feedback was delivered in a way that came across as condescending, particularly given that this was my first interaction with the recruiter and we had no prior relationship. As someone who is potentially looking to transition into a new industry, I was hoping to feel encouraged and supported in understanding how my transferable skills could translate into other opportunities. Unfortunately, this interaction did not leave me feeling particularly confident about continuing to work with Beacon Hill or using the agency as a resource in my job search. I believe constructive feedback can be extremely valuable, but the delivery and overall candidate experience matter, especially when someone is navigating a career transition.

Overall I think labor ready is a life saver. I mean really? There is NO EXCUSE for ANYONE to not be…read moreemployed. It is GUARANTEED work. All you must do is fill out an idiot test as I like to call it ( they're basically just making sure you don't show up to work on drugs and won't steal) and then boom just show up early when they open and there's a job to do. Yes, they're not ideal jobs (construction, factory work, minimum wage, no benefits, etc) but it's money! And you get paid same day in cash!! I remember when I lost my job because my car broke down and I had no way of getting there. Now yes, I can just go get another job but it's a timely process of applications, interviews, follow up interviews, training, and then waiting usually 2-3 weeks to get your first real pay check. I didn't have time to wait to have money. Rent was due, my car needed to be fixed and paid, phone needed to stay turned on, fridge needed food, I couldn't afford to wait even if it was just 3-4 weeks to get paid. One day, after telling a friend about my situation, they suggested labor ready. I had never even heard of it! I thought they were exaggerating at how simple and quick it was. So I woke up at 4am the next morning, called, and walked my behind an hour to the middle of the city there. I took the test and showed up the next day for work. At the time I lived in Taunton so this was the Taunton location. They were rude, mean, disrespectful, judge mental, but I had work and just like that I had cash in my hand same day. The work sucked. It was cold, early, repetitive, factory work with a short break and no benefits at minimum wage. But I was just so blessed I had an instant opportunity for income until I found a job. I found a job and started working 3 weeks later at a great job but that month at labor ready saved my apartment, car, everything! A year later I moved to east Boston, got a great job, was Finishing up at Umass Boston, and had my own place. I lost my job a year later and in fear of losing out on continuous pay with out any pauses I looked for a labor ready near me. I found the one in Chelsea and even though I was dreading doing this all over again, I went in. They were so nice, helpful, non judge mental, kind, respectful, professional, personal, and accommodating!! Unlike Taunton, this labor ready was clean, warm, comfortable, organized, and welcoming. They found out about my past and knowing I had degrees, a license, car, and past labor ready experience and set me up with a job that was fit for me. They have me a driving job that paid over $20/hr and was great! I worked there for a few month until I could find another job. I'll never forget how they were so great! They still call me to this day to see if I'm in need of any work, etc. they really supported me and treated me like a friend until I could get on my feet. It meant a lot especially knowing they don't have to. Great labor ready location!! John and junior were the best!!!!

Applied online and got a call back from Jen who was very friendly, told me to come take a visit for an interview. The building was very nice, prime location in Financial District. Front desk person asked me to fill out an application and led me to Jen after. Jen was telling me that she has been working at John Leonard for almost 30 years holy moly! She was very professional, knew what she was doing, and sounded like she has a great relationship with their clients (employers). Asked me couple questions about my skills and experience, what I want to do in a long run. After the interview, she explained some of the jobs they have in the system and asked me if any of those spark my interest. Really liked this short term assignment in Cambridge, was places there a week after that interview! Went through many assignments with various employers through John Leonard so far, was a great experience to work with all those employers. John Leonard seems to have a good clientele of employers that would treat you well as long as you do your job! Long story short- no matter what kind of career goals you have, John Leonard will listen to you, learn your story to find a great assignments that fit to your needs and qualification! Shout out to Jen, you are awesome!

Terrible experience. Went through 8 (yes 8!) interviews only to be casually told in an email (not…read moreeven a phone call) that the client is "moving on". One day previously the incompetent recruiter asked me to send them proprietary documentation from a previous employer, which I refused to do for legal and professional reasons. She quickly turned cold, and then I learned they were representing me and someone else for the same job. They're vile and unprofessional. In all my years in my field, never had this kind of lackluster approach when working with a recruiter. STAY AWAY!

Years ago, I applied to work with this temp-to-perm agency. I thought it was a very cool idea to…read morehave a temp agency that focused on jobs in the creative fields. I can't exactly remember what the job was, but there was some interest in one job I wanted and I physically interviewed at their Chicago office. (I'm not sure the downtown location is there anymore.) Shortly after, I ended up getting a full-time editing job with another company that I applied to on my own, so I never got to find out what the company was like. Fast forward several years (maybe a decade?) later. A couple of clients came and went in my full-time freelancing career. I'd randomly applied for jobs with this organization but never held my breath because I always seemed to be getting rejection notifications. (I don't take those personally. I realize there are hundreds of other people all applying for the same jobs.) But I'd been completing freelance work for about eight years and just had no desire to sit in an office again. I have had a handful of remote clients since the pandemic and LOVE(D) working with them. I decided to sign up for Creative Circle again after I stopped for years because of the rejection notifications. I found it was much easier waiting for invites than to apply on my own because the recruiters (obviously) knew what their clients were looking for. I accepted one job invite (along with a few more), and BOY, DID THAT MAKE ME LOVE CREATIVE CIRCLE! The recruiter (Liz) who I briefly talked to was nice. The HR and Payroll team are pleasant. Cesar (who I completed the interview with) and Paula Jean (Engagement Specialist) have been amazing to work with. And best of all, I really like the job and the duo from that company that I work for via CC. I don't know if I would've had this great of an experience a decade ago. All I know is it came "right on time" this year, and maybe THIS TIME was the right time. Even if the project is just for this year, I can easily recommend and compliment Creative Circle for how they treat their contractors. I have zero complaints with CC or the external client. I'd recommend them to anybody.

They have opened so many doors for me that now I have the confidence and experience to deliver quality concepts and ideas to my personal clients and acquaintances.
