So... The Customer Service was great at the beginning. I continued to follow-up with Lisa Maddison and there have been no follow-ups. Not one! What these Temp Agencies do, is get a pool of great candidates and keep them there until required. Until they do not need you, you are not worthy of them or your time... not even a courtesy reply. I do not like writing this, but it was my experience. Thank you! Laura read more

When Lori Singer reached out to me for a work assignment, she was very pleasant. Lori's communications with me was, courtesy, and professional. I felt a genuine personal connection between us and never thought I was just another candidate. I appreciated Lori keeping me informed of any updates regarding the assignment and being there when needed. You can tell Lori loves her job, which made it easy for us to work together. Lori was phenomenal, and I thank her for working with me. If you get the opportunity, you will thank her as well. read more

A bad experience. What is it with today's employment agencies? Boy, how times have changed. Back in the day, agencies cared about the applicant and were quick to send you out on interviews or assignments. Today it is all about numbers and poor follow up. Agencies really don't care about the unemployed, rather they focus on the client side of things...which makes some sense, but they are middlemen...applicants should be just as important. But after reading the glowing reviews for Mattson, I came in hopeful. Interviewed with Beth Bransky about 8 months ago for a position. Never heard back from her after being presented other than "employers are very picky these days". Should I be insulted? Also, since we have *supposedly* such low unemployment, shouldn't the power shift to the applicant a bit? Anyway, no interview with the employer...nothing. I just chalked it up to the usual BS I have experienced with other employment agencies (like AppleOne, The Creative Group and Robert Half, for example). Same crap, different day. Cut to a month or so ago, I try to reconnect with Beth after seeing 6 jobs on their website that I am easily qualified for. After leaving numerous messages over a week's time, I got no response. Finally, after telling the receptionist the situation, she put me on hold and apparently spoke to Beth who said she DID get my messages and will call me the next day. She did not call the next day. I called the following day and the receptionist told me, naturally, that Beth was out until Monday. She gave me the option to speak with Lori Singer, the VP. Of course, she was out too. I did leave a message for her, however. She did call me back the next week and explained to me in a patronizing tone that my experience (Maketing Mangement, Accounts Payables, Creative, Admin, etc.) was too specialized. WTF?? Seriously, what job or resume can you not say that about? What about the quality of the candidate? What about the duty to represent the applicant in good faith and to find them a job? What about pitching an applicant such as myself as 'diverse and multi-skilled'? So many possibilities. To close, I honestly don't know how Mattson and other similar agencies stay in business. They don't communicate, they don't nurture or respect the applicant/agency relationship, and they have no empathy for the unemployed. At the end of the day, Mattson is just another agency that touts service and deliverables, but in the end, leaves applicants frustrated and displeased. Not recommended. read more

Randi Carlson and her team are great! I have been working with them for a couple years and they have always worked hard in giving us the best candidates we can get from any agency! Thanks guys!! read more

I'd like to thank Randi Carlson for helping me find employment. She is kind, professional, and responsive. Her follow-up is amazing. I feel comfortable working with her during the entire process. read more

This is a review of Mattson Resources, and in particular of Randi Carlson and her team, from the employers perspective. I have had the pleasure of working with Randi for the last, well let's just say it's been a loooong time. :) Randi is experienced, professional yet approachable, kind, caring, and consistent. She and her team get the job done. Staffing is not easy. There are many candidates that need a job but are hard to "place" because they have a chip on their shoulder and aren't pleasant people, aren't educated, don't pay attention to grammar and spelling, and are simply not qualified. Randi and her team sift through their many candidates, understanding my requirements (yes, I have high standards), and more often than not, land me a great candidate on the first go. Randi and her team are great listeners. A hats off and thank you to Randi, Lucrecia, Lisa, Beth, and many more for helping me find good people. read more

Like millions of others, I was furloughed at the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. I was on the job hunt for about 9 months when Randi Carlson reached out to me. Randi is exceptional and an expert. My journey with her and my prospective employer was about a month long. From start to finish her energy & customer service was stellar. In addition, her follow-up was consistent & timely and she was very encouraging throughout the entire process. I felt that she truly cared about my success. I have now been hired with an amazing company and I could not be more content with the quality of service & attentiveness I had received from Randi during this process. Thank you Randi for all your positivity, professionalism and support. I will always remember you & this positive experience. I appreciate you! read more

Lori Singer has been AMAZING. She was so kind and helpful throughout the whole process of signing me up for a temp job, and even when I asked for a schedule change, she worked right away to get it changed that day. I could tell she really cared about making sure I am taken care of. Thank you so much for all you've done for me and for helping me get a job during such a difficult time! read more

Worked with Lori Singer and had a much better experience than I anticipated. I had been job searching for three months looking to start in a new career/field with very little success. Within a week of working with Lori, I had a great job offer and I have been working at the company for two weeks now and am enjoying it. Obviously these results are not guaranteed, but Lori was lovely to work with. She is kind, present, direct, and it is clear that she takes great pride in her work. As a result, she has some great connections. She was very knowledgeable about the position, company, and company culture for which she was recruiting for, and she described the exact company culture so I was prepared and we both felt confident that it was a good fit. Loved working with her, but don't expect her to just place you just like that - you have to prove that you're worth working with for her to move forward with. However, if she does choose to work with you, you feel an extra boost of confidence just from her believing in you. Awesome experience with an exceptionally knowledgeable and caring recruiter. read more

I went through numerous agencies with little luck at all. I did not expect much since I was trying to find a full-time position in a different industry than my previous experience. I worked with Vi Luong when I went through Mattson Resources. She was very honest and engaging in regards to narrowing down positions that fit my interests. Although there were not any positions present at the time being, she was consistent in contacting me every single week on new positions that she had available for me if I were interested. When she presented a position to me roughly 2-3 weeks later, I was able to get a position that I truly love and enjoy. She is very genuine in telling me what is realistic to look for considering my qualifications. In addition, once I got the position, she continued to go the extra mile with asking me how I liked my first week and if I had a questions for her. Contrary to many different agencies, I had a pleasant experience with Mattson Resources. Other agencies, in my experience, will almost try to convince you that they can place you with a great opportunity with filler positions that are minimum wage just to fill their quotas. Also, once they place you in those jobs, you won't often hear from them again. I highly recommend Vi because she will look out for you and find a position that best suits your needs. read more

My resume was found online and Dana Stark contacted me regarding a position that I was a good fit for. I did a phone interview with the Director and then a few days later with the President of the company. A week later a offer letter was extended and its has been 2 years now and two promotions later and I have Dana Stark to thank for placing me with this employer. She was helpful with brokering my title, position and salary. I see her time to time as my company continues to utilize her services . Great experience, professional and timely. read more

I had the opportunity to work for this company and I loved every second. The contract I worked under expired but I look forward to any other opening. The support and communication does not get any better. Lori Singer was my recruiter. She went above and beyond with any needs I had. I would highly recommend if you get a chance to work with Mattson Resources, jump on it! read more

From the very first phone call, to the office meeting Mattson has been so incredibly wonderful. Lori Singer worked hard to land me my dream job! I am so incredibly grateful and I highly recommend this agency for your job search! I promise you will not be disappointed! read more

Working with Lori Singer has been a treat - as a job candidate, the process from start to finish has been very smooth. She prepped me on everything for my interview: from attire, to who I'd be meeting with, with questions to ask, and more. I felt like I was in good hands! I'm excited to be working on my new assignment and have confidence that this will be a great fit for me. Lori has answered all of my questions and continues to be available when I need her. Ask for Lori - you won't be disappointed! read more

I can't thank Mattson Resources enough for the amazing company I work for now! My recruiter Muna Darwish is beyond amazing. She honestly had my best interest at heart ever step of the way during the process. Did I mention I literally scored the job of my dreams within three days? Without Muna's expertise and coaching me currently I would have not been able to get my job! Everyone at Mattson is so kind and helpful. She really goes above and beyond to help you out. I was with other recruiters at a couple other agencies but I would never hear from them. Muna was always on top of everything! She is very easy to reach and will always get back to you. I highly recommend Mattson Resources and remember ask for Muna Darwish!!!! read more

I've enjoyed working with Randi Carlson and her team for many years now, and I've always been impressed with their friendliness and willingness to work as hard, and as quickly as possible to fill openings. Several of the temporary employees we brought on to help in a pinch were so excellent, in time they were hired on as full-time staff members. I really appreciate all the hard work done at Mattson. read more

I do not recommend at all. I went in last Tuesday and two weeks before that and did an interview with Lisa, she said she would send me a test about a job to get the job process started. I told her i was really in need of a job because i have bills due and I am having financial struggles & She never sent me anything I've called 3 times since Tuesday and all the receptionist tells me is "She is busy, I will let her know you called and if she approves for the test i will forward it to you". Waste of time i filled out so much paperwork for nothing. I would rate 0 stars if i could. read more

I had this bad experience with them , i first called to to get a job they connect me to Linda's voice mail heard from her once then she went on a vacation, a different recruiter handled my resume Lin left her voice mail several times never heard from her . I filled application online they never replied . They never cares for there applicants . They had job openings on their website that i applied for and they never replied or tried to reach me. So disappointed. read more

Sima Zandi of Mattson Resources is the epitome of a genuinely professional recruiter. She makes significant effort to keep the potential candidate up-to-date on the latest information from the client company, and she's very straightforward yet polite with her thoughts on the job interview process. Unlike most recruiters, Sima is neither aggressive nor annoying, so that the recruiting process is more about fun and excitement rather than harassment from the recruiter. I cannot recommend her enough, as she is the most professional and approachable recruiter I have ever dealt with. Keep up the good work! read more

Mattson Resources needs to establish better communication with their clients. For example, assuring that if a person is to be hired at a given site, maybe questions to ask clients are: will you have a place for this person? when will they start? or even yet....are YOU SURE you want to hire this person or anyone at the moment??!! Doesnt help when people reach out to Temp Agencies and all the anticipation just goes down hill or even yet, shot to hell. What a disappointment. read more

If you are serious about finding a job DO NOT use this agency. The recruiter I got was an incompetent female who says things like "I'll email you the job description" and doesn't. " I'll call call you in the morning" i waited all morning and she never called when she actually did call back she told the "job has been filled" so not only she is lazy, she is also a liar and a fraud. I know she did not liked being called out on things she was supposed to do do she retaliated and advised she the position was filled overnight. read more

Thank you Dana. Dana match my educational skills with a perfect employer. So many time I tell myself I am so ready to get out of working at an doctor office. Dealing the insurance, I had the drive to outsource my experience. I cant thank Dana enough for being available for my job placement needs. She placed me with an amazing employer where I can see my career kick off to a new start. read more

This company may have good recruiters, however, Leslie Peterson is NOT one. I am relocating back to CA and was in town for only 3 days. She called and I was obliged to come into the office. We had a nice chat, and she mentioned there was an in house position i'd be "perfect" for and just HAD to apply for. However, her boss couldn't meet with me until later and I had an appointment so I agreed to come back to Costa Mesa from Newport later that day after commuting from San Clemente. Upon returning to the office a second time I met with her boss/owner who didn't even interview me, just stared at me awkwardly and asked me about myself and chucked me back to Leslie to discuss the position....um ok? Then why did I just bend over backwards to come back then? I was informed I would receive assessment testing, which I never received and only had follow up from Leslie because I initiated it myself. I never received the testing even after providing an alternate email and nothing, no communication. I was only informed after sending a complaint to the company the position had been filled since I couldn't send back the testing that i never received, so basically I wasted an entire afternoon at a company that has no idea what they are doing. Fantastic. On top of that, i was transparent from the beginning that I was in AZ and needed to be able to do phone and Skype interviews. She knew this and waited until I had wasted my entire day to work around their schedule to tell me....."Oh, none of my clients will do that, but you can drive up here." ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?! I can't fathom how she has a job seeing as placing candidates are their life blood and income! In an attempt to be fair, I attempted to email the company and express the issue however, all I received in response was BS excuses and incoherent jibberish. I told them I would be happy to work with another recruiter and shocker.....they NEVER got back to me. If you are looking for someone to lie to your face and shamelessly waste your time by all means, check this place out! read more

When I first signed with Mattson my recruiter was Lori Singer and she landed me a week and a half gig which I was greatful for. She was amazing and even followed up with me over the phone on my first day to make suer I liked the position and everything went A Okay. She later called about a one day gig which I could not make but later on about a few weeks later I emailed her and asked for an update, that I really needed something quick and if she has anything to pitch. At this time I stopped receiving unemployment benefits and I started freeaking out. I haven't heard from her since and this was about 4 months ago. This is very strage because she was so helpful before but now I am with another great agency who is on top of it and I am now with a long term job now. I would give them 5 stars but I did not recieve a response after I tried reaching out to her again. read more

Lisa Madison at Mattson Resources in Costa Mesa is an amazing help when you're looking for a career shift or temp position. It feels as though she puts you first when I'm sure she has plenty of clients. I've already referred two people to her / the company. Great help! read more

I have worked with tons of recruiters at different agencies (some out of state) and all were such bad experiences, until I decided to give Mattson Resources a try. I have had the best experience working with my recruiter Rachel Rossi at Mattson. She is not just a recruiter but now a friend by showing me how much she cares, wants the best for me, and to set me up for success without limits! Rachel and Mattson Resources together wont make you feel like another number and make false promises like other agencies do. I am now set up permanently with a company that I temped at for a month and it is a great fit! No matter what Rachel is my go to if anything changes in the future and decide to discover other opportunities! read more

Lori Singer is hands down the hardest working individual I have encountered at a staffing firm; and I've met quite a few people at different ones. She is such a pleasure to talk to and she's on top of her work. I receive calls from her constantly about possible positions and her dedication reassures me that she wants me to succeed. Within two weeks of meeting Lori, she called me several times about temporary assignments and when I did accept my first temp assignment, the company she paired me with was a pleasure to work with. I'd recommend Lori to anyone! She goes above and beyond for everyone involved in the process. read more

My experience with Elle Cristobal was amazing! She was a pleasure to work with, stayed in touch with me almost weekly, paid very close attention to all of my little 'picky' likes and dislikes of my perfect job or company, and totally came through in the end. I'm happily employed now and it only took a month! I have to admit that, at first, I was very hesitant to contact anyone at a recruiting firm because I've had ZERO luck with them in the past. It's always the same story - go in, do a bunch of tests and fill out paperwork, interview with a ton of recruiters, only to find out that they have "nothing at the moment", but will call you if anything should come up. And then you never hear from them again. So, naturally, I didn't want to register with Mattson, but after reading all of the reviews, I figured I'd give it a shot. I am SO happy that I did! The entire process from registration to employment was just ONE month! As mentioned, through the entire process, Elle stayed in touch with me, presented jobs, and never once forgot about me. She presented me for a temp/perm job that she (along with Lesley Peterson - who is also awesome) thought would be a great fit all around, and I'm thrilled to say that they picked the PERFECT job for me! I am now a permanent employee, working with the best team of coworkers I could ask for!! Thank you so much, Elle and Lesley! read more

I have nothing but the best to say about Mattson Resources. As a recent graduate, I was doing my best to try to find work but was having a bit of trouble due to lack of experience. I had never gone to an employment agency before but someone referred me to Mattson and I'm glad they did. I walked into the office and was immediately tended to. After filling out some paperwork, they looked at my background and then I met with executive recruiter Lia Zabala, who specializes in administrative recruiting. She was very easy to talk to and made me feel at ease during the interview process. I was open to temp opportunities and she found several for me but the timing was never quite right, unfortunately. However, Lia saw the potential in me and decided to take me on as an intern for her and her colleague Beth Bransky, who also recruits for admin jobs. Beth has an excellent personality as well and works hard to place her candidates in the right job. While working for Lia and Beth, I learned so much about recruiting in such a short period of time. After a few weeks however, they already found me a new position! I was offered a temp-to-hire job at a growing consumer electronics company in Irvine. There, I have already been hired full-time and gotten a promotion. I am truly grateful for what Lia and Beth have done for me. Thanks Mattson! read more

Hello, I just wanted to say how friendly the staff is at Mattson Resources from the Front desk people Vanessa and Jen to the Recruiter I had Dana. Dana was very friendly and did everything possible to match me up with a company that matched my skill set. The girls at the front desk Vanessa and Jen were very professional and polite when calling in for information or helping out with filling out paperwork. I would recommend Mattson to anyone seeking employement! :) read more

I interned for Mattson Resources and my behind-the-scenes take-away is that they work hard and are fantastic at what they do but most of all, they enjoy making a match between employee and employer happen. The Recruiters at this staffing firm really do care that all parties are completely happy so do not go expecting that you will get instant results. You will however get great results if it turns out that there's a good fit at the time. If I'm ever seeking a new opportunity, I know where to go. read more

I saw an ad in the OC Register for a job listing and emailed the contact Beth Bransky. She was very professional and personal at the same time. I've dealt with other recruiters before and they were very impersonal. They didn't really care about my needs or what I was looking for. They were really just working for the employer and trying to fill the position at hand. Beth was amazing. She really listened to what I wanted. I was already employed but was in a dead end job with no advancement. She didn't waste my time with opportunities that weren't a good fit for me, she contacted me with jobs that were direct hire positions and in my desired salary range. She always kept in contact with me and followed up. Beth made me feel that she was working for me not just the employer. It was the best experience I've had with a recruiter. She found me a job with great company that met everything I desired in a career. I recently referred my brother-in-law and would recommend her to everyone. read more

Matteson Resources was a good experience. I worked with Carlos Ruiz. He's very well spoken, professional and provided great tips on interviewing. It had been 5yrs since I had to search for a job. There was a few things that caught my attention. One - it took him almost two weeks to get an interview with only one company. It was like they didn't have enough jobs. Two - I was discouraged when he wanted to try to get my former employer to use their services. Three - when I went to meet with him the receptionist was rude. It appears they has way to many recruiters" for the limited business they do. My overall experience was good. They weren't able to place me with a company, I was able to find one on my own. read more

I had the absolute worst experience ever! I had Beth Bransky as my recruiter for three years with no results. I had a good paying, stable job but worked nights and weekends. She got me an interview with a M-F job that seemed good, but upon getting hired I was bait-and-switched! The company immediately added on other (not ever previously discussed) full-time job duties to my work load, so I was doing a ton of extra work for different departments but getting paid the same! I called Beth multiple times with these concerns and told her this did not seem legitimate, etc, and she told me to stick it out. (Yeah, because all she cared about was getting her commission!) The real kicker is that I called and emailed her, as I need a different job, and she will not get back to me! I sent emails to customer service and the HR department of Mattson Resources hoping to get a different recruiter, or speak to a manger or someone in charge about this abysmal experience, with NO responses. Don't waste your time. Will not recommend to anyone, ever. read more

I can endorse Randi Carlson with the utmost confidence. I've worked with Randi for a number of years both in a recruiting capacity and when I was looking for work and she has always been a sincere pleasure to work with. Randi has a keen ability to understand immediately what the client needs and she will work tirelessly until the client is 100% happy! She goes over and above and is a true professional in every sense of the word. Her personality and genuine warmth are rare commodities in this day and age. read more

Being someone who's dealt with many agencies, I've definitely never felt this cared for by a recruiter. I was contacted directly by Lori Singer who I found out later was the VP at Mattson. It made sense considering how much time and effort she put in to understanding what I was looking for and preparing me for the interview process. She worked around my busy schedule and followed up with me early in the morning, during lunchtime, and evening hours. She got me in front of a great company quick with everything I was looking for and more! Her accounts are obviously very trusting of her and receive quality employees by using her for the screening/mentoring process. Had a great conversation over the phone with one of the employers and they took me out to lunch within the week. By the end of that same day, I was already being made an offer. Lori gave really good feedback and showed genuine interest in me. Give Mattson a try if you're planning on coming back to work after this whole covid crisis or if you're looking for something new! read more

Love working with Mattson! Randi is professional and gets the job done. At Fox Racing we use them for temp and perm roles.

I had an excellent experience with Mattson. Within a month of contacting them, I had a great job offer in hand. Sean was great and the company he set me up with seemed to really value his opinion and their relationship with Mattson read more

I've had nothing but a great experience working with Mattson! Lynne Castro is amazing and a such sweet person. She is on top of her game and goes above and beyond to help find you the perfect job. I worked with her back in 2011 and again in May of this year. She placed me at a temp assignment within a week or so of meeting with her. She knew I was looking for something more permanent so she kept searching and was in constant contact with me. She set me up on an interview with the perfect company and I was immediately hired. She "hit the nail on the head" with this one. And I couldn't be happier!! I owe it all to her and her hard work!! I worked with another agency in the past but didn't have the success or quality of recruiter that I found in Lynne and with Mattson. Her dedication to placing you with the right company/job is amazing. So if the thought of working with an agency has never appealed to, one meeting with Lynne will change that! I can't thank her enough for all she has done for me!! Give Mattson a shot, you will not be disappointed! read more

Recruiting is difficult. It is a part of my job that I do not want to do. This makes working with Mattson the best part of my day. I have worked with Randi Carlson for a number of years and always found her a pleasure to work with. I have used Randi to recruit for several positions and found her to be top notch in her understanding of my needs and those of the position and company. HealthCare is sometimes a difficult field to recruit, Mattson makes it easy. Randi has been able to find the right fit not matter the department that has the need. From Accounting to IT to Office Professionals, she has found a fit for all. Thanks Randi for your wonderful work. Randi has vast knowledge and expertise in the areas of Staffing and Recruiting. I highly recommend Mattson and Randi for all your recruiting needed. Call Randi Carlson today, you will not regret it. Mark Marten CEO Maverick Medical Group read more
