Right from the beginning, Anita Jenke, the Executive Director, took an interest in my success. I saw lots of new people coming in, like me, but she and the other staff were able to make each of us feel special. Having just lost my job, I would sometimes feels down on myself, so it was so great to know that Anita and her staff and coaches would always see the best in me. The coaches are really great. They supported me in revising my materials, setting goals, and going about working to meet those goals. What can I say? CTC turned a potentially lousy time between positions into an amazing time for self-discovery and growth. I highly recommend CTC to anyone needing assistance with a career transition!

I cannot overemphasize the quality, professionalism and attentiveness of The Chicago Hire Company…read more Within days of submitting my application they connected me with several companies with whom I got interviews. Before each interview, they sent me a very thorough prep-sheet. They spent a lot of time on the phone with me getting to know my preferences and career goals. They made contact with me before and after every interview to provide guidance and process the experience. I know they are super busy, but it felt like I was their only client. Also, there was a sense of fun about working with them! I'd utilized three other recruiting agencies before I found them and I'd come to expect poor service and constant checking in to remind them to work for you. My experience at The Chicago Hire Company was completely different. They are excellent and I can't recommend them enough!

Since I started using my resume and documents from JobStars, I'm getting more calls from potential employers which makes this well worth the investment. I found out about this service through a contact via LinkedIn. I needed a "refresh" of my resume and other documents. One of the things I really liked about JobStars is Doug took the time to connect personally and understand what was important to me and what would get attention from an employer. I felt like Doug showed lots of interest by asking clarifying questions, and he was genuinely interested in helping to address my unique concerns. After our initial conversations, Doug sent me a really nice draft of my resume, with professional formatting and messaging. From there, we worked together via e-mail to make revisions and refine the draft until I felt it was "ready" to use in my job search. Also, I got a corresponding cover letter and thank you letter which provides a nice professional touch when applying for positions.

He was quick to answer my inquiry and also quick to get started. My new resume was amazing for my situation as was my cover letter I had requested. I can't say It got me a job, but I can say it showed me what I was missing and that I decided I am getting the certifications I need and a BA as I wont need experienced and will achieve the income I am making now after the change. I will use the cover letter and resume I received from Mr. Levin as truly believe it is a winner and after a few changes with what I achieve in the next two years, the work he did for me will be money very well spent!!! Thank You Mr. Levin

My friend referred me to Wunderland Group 4 years…read moreago after she spoke so highly of the staffing agency/team she worked with that helped placed her with a direct hire opportunity at Northwestern University. After connecting with Marisa Vrona, she was amazing keeping me in the loop of current career opportunities that best fit my level of experience and very personable! Fast forward to now, I met with Marisa and her colleague Alyssa Rubnitz for coffee yesterday since I've been in contact with them so long and never officially met them in person. They were both very bubbly, personable and I can see why we all stayed in contact for so long! They don't treat you like just another candidate, but like you're apart of the Wunderland family. Thanks to Alyssa, she placed me in a previous contract assignment with Choose Chicago and recently Northwestern Medicine as a Project Manager and had an overall amazing experience within both roles. I look forward to staying in contact if I never need further assistance within my career search and will continue sending referrals :)

Wunderland has changed the game and my perspective. They're extremely thorough from start to finish with every opportunity. They constantly check up on me and every person that I talk to genuinely cares. When I went to the office, everyone introduced themselves to me, shook my hand and expressed their excitement to work with me. It's definitely something you don't experience anywhere else. They really do work hard for you and make sure you're happy. I landed a gig a mere week after our initial meeting. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a new position.

A small boutique agency that really toes the extra mile. Sue was so nice to work with, she really kept me in the loop every step of the way. I met her in person at the office. The process was easy. I love that they use ADP and I can electronically put in my hours from home or at work. I'm not sure of the prior experience of a prior disgruntled employeewith her issues with pay but my experience is you get your hours in by the deadline, you get paid on time. If you don't, you have to wait until the next pay period. I've never had any issues with my pay from them but I always report on time and they send a nice reminder out to you as well! The only negative is that they don't offer benefits for a temp assignment but I was converted quickly to a perm employee so I have benefits via the company.

I had thought this would be a good job agency. It's too bad that the receptionist providing the…read morefirst impression in answering the phone did not create a good one. The person was, first, difficult to understand, and second, took over the conversation and then after saying what they wanted to say just hung up. They displayed very unprofessional conduct, an unpleasant, impatient attitude and certainly left a lasting, though far from great, impression in their representation of the employment agency that hired them. Other job agencies are actually helpful and patient in answering questions. Normally, I don't take the time to write a review but I found this so disconcerting and the person so condescending in their treatment of someone that I felt compelled to do so. It doesn't take much just to be kind.

They do not return emails. They do not ask to see your work. They do not follow up. Artisan Indianapolis? A joke. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY if you have an regard whatsoever for professionalism, or your career. There are plenty of other folks--Creative Circle, Aquent, Talent Z, you name 'em--who will actually treat you with a degree of professionalism. I just read their website and couldn't stop laughing when comparing it to the treatment I've received.

Working with Kayla was truly a pleasure- she made everything so smooth- went out of her way to find interesting opportunities in different fields that fit my experience- and took all my calls no matter the time of day.

When we hit a few road bumps with the offer- she was an absolute professional and dealt with them in a really kind and prompt manner. Don't know where she finds the energy!! Can't say enough good things about this company and Kayla!!! A+

After running into so many that didn't…read moreseem to have my best interests at heart, I wasn't sure working with one would lead anywhere meaningful. But Emily Cullen at The Larko Group completely changed that perception. After having a baby, I wasn't actively planning to return to work and was hesitant about re-entering the workforce with a gap in my work history. But Emily saw potential in me that I hadn't yet recognized in myself. She connected me with an opportunity at a medical device manufacturing startup in an operations and administrative role. Following the company's acquisition in 2024, I stayed on--what began as a leap of faith ultimately became the catalyst for a long-term career path. Since then, I've grown into a mid-level corporate role with exciting opportunities ahead in the medical device and technology industry. I'm incredibly grateful to Emily Cullen and The Larko Group for helping me take such a major step forward. If you're hesitant about working with recruiters, just know there are genuine professionals out there--and Emily is one of them. Great value and while it takes effort to apply and evalutate your skill and experience the return on your investment is high. I can't recommend her and The Larko Group enough!
