NRI is a top notch staffing agency with extremely professional recruiters. I have been working with NRI off and on for several years and have nothing but good things to say about them. I have been personally working with Melissa Brinsfield who is the BEST of the BEST! Melissa takes the time to talk with you about your interests, your skill levels, etc. When you become a part of NRI's family so to speak, they take you under their wings and guide you every step of the way from advising you on interview responses, to the proper dress for interviews to resume and cover letter rewrites. Initially, I was apprehensive about contacting another staffing agency due to the truly bad experiences that I have had over the years -- as, I was treated as though I was just a number being sent out so that particular agency could draw down their commission. Let me cite an example -- I submitted my resume for a position and received a telephone call asking me to come in for a meeting/interview. From previous experiences, I asked "do you have administrative positions open for the type of position that I applied for?" The response was "YES," we do. Of course, I found that this was the typical ploy to get me into their offices .... and, was told that the positions that I had applied for had just been filled! On another occasion, I found myself at an interview with four other candidates from the same agency where I had just seem them prior to being sent out for this interview. Now, my question to you is this -- can everyone be suitable for that ONE position? My answer is NO. I felt as though I was sitting in a "meat market" -- as I felt the only interest in me was getting PAID -- not whether this was a good fit for both the company and me -- just a good fit for the agency. NRI takes the time as Melissa does and did to try and match both the person and organization up to make for a good fit and two happy clients. If you want to be treated with respect and to also know that your best interests are being looked out for, I strongly suggest that you reach out to NRI and Melissa Brinsfield. read more

I would recommend that anyone looking to reach out to the agencies in the DC area first contact NRI!!! I was referred to NRI by a friend of mine who had previously worked with them. She gave me the contact information for Meghan A. This is my first time using an agency. I knew I wanted to get back into the administrative field after bartending for four years right out of college and not really wanting to use the degree I acquired in the traditional sense. Meghan was truly a huge help and a great source of encouragement. She cared about all my concerns in regards pay rates, work environment, work experience, and just overall piece of mind. Meghan was able to locate a position for me within a week of working with NRI. She went above and beyond to make sure I was happy. She left work at NRI to meet with me before I interviewed with her client at their work site. She wanted to make sure I was ready, prepared, and comfortable. All I can say is the position was EXACTLY what I had in mind. Great work environment, a diverse group of colleagues, nice salary, great benefits, and it was a direct hire position. I began a week of temp work, and that following Monday was offered a permanent position within the company. Contacting Meghan Ahearn and dealing with NRI is one of the Best decisions I have made this year!! NRI is definitely an agency I would recommend to anyone because they care both about their clients and their employees whom they refer out. Dominique W. read more

The people at NRI is easy to work with, and they get great results. My contact Melissa has been friendly and encouraging from the first time I spoke with her on the phone, and she has given me great interviewing advice. She works as hard as I do to find me positions that not only draw upon my strengths, but also allow me to support the kind of causes that I believe in. As whole, NRI knows how to nurture relationships with their temps. I never have trouble getting in touch with them, and their procedures are convenient and easy to follow. The most outstanding thing about NRI, however, is the incredible positions they have found for me. They found me a five-month placement in a great company where I made friends and connections, learned a lot, and felt truly appreciated. When that contract ended, they almost immediately found me another five-month position. Again, the working environment and organizational mission are perfect for me. I have been working with NRI for less than a year, but they have already found me two great long-term positions. I highly recommend working with NRI. They have been very supportive in helping me break into the DC job market. read more

I have worked with several temp agencies over the years to find temporary assistance in various offices over a long career. About 3 years ago, I tried NRI and they have done an outstanding job. Now I don't use any other firm. They do an amazing job of listening and understanding exactly what I am looking for. They now really understand my operation and can always send me someone who can fit right in with the rest of the staff, and hit the ground running with the work that needs to be done. I have been so happy with the bright, accomplished temps they have sent me that I have willingly paid the fee to move two of them to full time employment! I also have a long term temp here now who I would move to permanent if she weren't planning to go to grad school. Working with NRI is the ideal way to try out administrative support personnel. It has saved me hours of time, and given me the best possible results read more

NRI is an excellent staffing company. My contact Melissa definitely is a rock star. I met her and found a job independent of NRI. When I found myself looking again I reached out and she had temp assignment for me almost immediately. I think she worked harder finding me a job than I did. My last assignment with NRI was a short term assignment with no possibility of permanent employment. I was asked to stay on permanently after two weeks. I must say the NRI staff as a whole is great. They are very professional and helpful during job searches including following up when/if you were not selected for an assignment to find out why and help you make yourself more marketable. The company I work for is excellent and I am glad that I picked NRI and they picked me. I would highly recommend this company if you are serious about searching for a permanent position. read more

NRI took the stress out of finding a job in DC. After moving to the DC area, I went into panic mode about finding a job. NRI was the first job placement company I reached out to and they did not disappoint. Being in a creative field, I wasn't convinced a job agency would be the best place for me to start my job search. I worked with Melissa, who proved that contacting NRI was absolutely the best move. She responded to my email right away and immediately lined up several interviews. Even better, all of the job interviews she arranged for me were a perfect fit for my career experience. From helping me edit my resume, to offering interview tips, to following up on employment opportunities, I felt at ease with Melissa and NRI. It was a relief to know someone was out there working for me to help me find the right fit. Thanks, NRI! read more

I found NRI after doing a basic Google search. I was familiar with using temporary agencies but not NRI. I was a little nervous from my previous experience with agencies but decided to give it a shot. My recruiter Cailee Medina was absolutely amazing the whole time I've worked with her. I told her my expectations, she was honest with me and got right to work! She found me a job she knew I would both love and excel at. She also went the extra mile and sent me interview prep. The day before and morning of gave me the extra confidence I needed to represent NRI and get the job. I cannot thank NRI and Cailee enough! In this day and age it's not nearly enough to just be a college grad because so many people are looking for jobs. You need a team and support system and NRI is just that. I will definitely be recommending them. read more

I was laid-off in January and was seeking employment on my own for about two months with not much success so decided to engage with NRI. Today I had my initial meeting with Meghan and other NRI professional staff. Have you ever walked into a place and felt like you are in good hands? Well that was my experience with the NRI DC staff today - what professionals! The discussion was not just centered around finding me a job but finding my "perfect job" and getting me back out there in a position I will enjoy and grow. I was contacted within a few hours of leaving their offices with possible job opportunities. All I'm thinking is "I should have engaged with NRI sooner" but better late than never. Thanks to Meghan, Melissa and Elisa for helping me remain optimistic during this big transitional period - you ladies rock! read more

I'm employed by NRI and Meghan and Melissa and the rest of the staff are wonderful. I have enjoyed a very satisfying working with relationship with the team at NRI and have encouraged some of my friends to apply with them for employment as well. They are very professional and do their utmost to get you the best assignments that match your skills. I can't say enough about how wonderful they are. I signed up with many agencies when I first relocated from New Jersey over a year ago, and NRI was the only agency that has looked out for me on a consistent basis. They are the best temp agency that I know of. I continue to look forward to working with them in the future. read more

I continue to be impressed by the outstanding services afforded to me by NRI. When I moved from AZ to DC I was very concerned I would not readily find a job. I was referred to the agency by a family friend. I called on a Tuesday and met with Meghan on a Thursday. I was so surprised when I was placed in an amazing position the very next day! Meghan was extremely helpful throughout the whole transition and continues to be in contact with me for frequent check ins. I was so lucky to find NRI and would suggest their services to anyone who is looking for employment! In fact, I have already referred some friends to the agency! read more

Three years ago, I was laid off from my job and was introduced to Melissa Brinsfield by a former co-worker of mine. From the moment I met Melissa, she got to know exactly what I wanted to do for my career path to help place me at the best opportunity. She actually took the time to keep me up to date on all opportunities that were available and which ones would be good fit with my background. NRI is the best staffing agency in the DC Metro Area. I have never worked with such amazing people that actually look for positions that work best for YOU. I highly recommend them and will always send my referrals to them. read more

NRI is amazing. I loved working with them. Their interview prep is hands down the best interview prep I have ever had. I had no interest in sitting on the phone for 45 mins with them, but I am so glad I did. I felt 100% confident when I walked into that interview. I tend to get a little defensive about things and Melissa's honesty about that is one of the best lessions that I have learned. I am so very thankful for that. NRI has great connections throughout the city and are truly a professional company. I have happily been at the job they helped me get for a year and 4 months and I love it! read more

Words can't explain in theory how diligent Melissa & Meghan are, so pleasant, easy to communicate. I interviewed over 3 weeks ago - while on my interview Mehgan had a great personality she answered all my questions: She immediately gave me responses in a timely manner, told me she will try to find me non-temp work, instead of "Temp-to-hire, direct hire) how grateful I was for her to tell me she would do that. Melissa, Meghan are definitely the go to people if you have question pertaining to a job search withing NRI. Yet again I am thankful NRI staffing is giving me an opportunity. read more

NRI should be the meansuring tool for all staffing companies! Working with NRI has been amazing, mainly due to Melissa-an AMAZING Account Manager/Recruiter.

From the beginning, NRI made me feel like they were personally invested in my job search. I can't thank Melissa enough for her guidance, patience, and most off all her kindness during my job seach. read more

Words cannot express how wonderful of an experience it was working with NRI Staffing-especialy Meghan!

She really gave me all the tools to succeed in the job search process and set me out to interview for many opportunities! I would definitely use NRI again and would recommend it to anyone in a heartbeat. read more

I have been working with NRI since November 2012 and I have the most delightful experiences. I was looking for a job for almost six months after graduating from college. After working with NRI, I was placed at so many great organizations giving me the entry level experiences I needed. I had the pleasure of getting to know Melissa Brinsfield when I started working with NRI. She is a caring, professional and respectful individual who is great to work with and always responsive to my work needs. read more

I can't say enough good things about NRI. As a professional with an atypical career background, NRI embraced not just what I could do but who I am. They possess the rare combination of being good with task analysis AND good with people. They fought on my behalf and believed in me. I will ALWAYS be grateful for their investment in matching up the right people with the right opportunity. You won't find a more conscientious hard-working group of people.
