It's been awhile but I'm back in the temp market so I looked up Graham, because I worked for them…read moreyears ago and they were wonderful. After reading the only review I've seen here, I was really disappointed, but then I saw that Amanda Krape was this person's rep. I realize that having pay delayed is a major issue and must have been very frustrating for this temp, however, Amanda Krape was also my rep and she was AMAZING. She kept me working, she was always in my corner, the pay situation was never any problem whatsoever. As a matter of fact, nothing was ever any problem whatsoever. Graham kept me working continually, everyone was always positive and helpful and supportive and that's why I'm looking through them again now that I'm interested in temping again. Don't let one person's rough experience keep you from considering Graham. I've worked through a number of temp agencies over the years - and Graham was the best of the lot, hands down.

My recruiter's name was Amanda Krape (hence the last name because she and the agency surely were…read more"crap-py" and incompetent). Graham, on my very first paycheck, deposited my paycheck into a closed account which I informed them of prior to payday. It took over a week battling over this issue, which they then, finally, made a payment to my correct account. However, this now meant TWO payments out there: 1) The wrong account. 2) The correct account. They explained they transitioned over to a new system and for some reason, the new system didnt recognize my new account. ????????? They asked me to contact my bank, get a letter stating my account had been closed, which was a hassle. I explained I would provide the correct paperwork, but that my going to the bank, meeting with them and traveling to their location was a lot in one day, but will do - they emailed to say my next pay would be withheld. They also disabled my Graham online account thereby making it impossible to view my hours (without the situation being resolved nor telling me). Talk about passive - aggressive #1. They failed to pay me on my FIRST pay day, by sending money to wrong/closed account. #2. After countless communications sent back and forth over a week, they finally wired me my money (does this sound like a stable company?). #3. Then, after realizing money was out there in cyberspace - withheld my paycheck, disabled my graham online account and I couldnt view anything - not even my hours from the previous week to calculate what I would earn nor the ability to see if my hours were verified and approved (it would have been my second paycheck). Yes, this company will be out of business within a year for bad business practice. To add insult to injury - I was charged a wire fee despite the fact it was THEIR mistake. To this day, they have yet to reimburse me!!

I only give this place a 2 because the person I was working with was really nice. Here is my story:…read more I was living in North Carolina when I began conversing with a recruiter at NRI. I knew I was moving soon so I wanted to get everything done as quickly as possible so I could start work asap. I took a long series of test and scored really well. With experience in Property management as well as a paralegal I as assured they had plenty of opportunities for me. I submitted my resume before had and solidified an interview for the day after I arrived to DC. Needless to say, and very long story short, I was called twice a week with different positions and they never landed me a position not even once. I was working 2 days after I arrived with another agency in a law firm, so my resume was not an issue. They called me about positions every week for almost two months and I finally just told them I didn't want them to call me any more. For them to be a staffing agency, they are really not good at what they do at all. You can't be a staffing agency and never land anyone not even a part time position. Don't waste your time on all their test and lengthy interview processes, you're wasting your time!

I was contacted after applying for a position thru craigslist by a Kim Kilmer. She was very…read moreenthusiastic about my resume and set a date for an interview immediately because she said she had the best position for me and didn't want me to miss out! WHAT A LIE! I was told that I would only be there for the most an hour. After meeting with Kim for a few seconds I was placed on a computer to fill out a form, then told to complete a bunch of test. After I completed the test I interviewed with her for 30 minutes then three other agents. Things seemed to be going extremely well. I was given hope that in no time they would be able to find me a new position. All three of the interviewers made it seem as though I was a great fit for the position and informed me that I should get a suit before the weekend because I would be sent out for interviews the following week. I was walked out by Kim 2 to 3 hrs later and told to call and follow up the call with an email by the end of the week. This was a Wednesday. On Friday I called Ms. Kilmer and followed up with an email. No response. I waited until the following week and sent another email, no response. This is now the week before the holiday and sent a third email and got a auto response stating that she would be out of the office until Dec 27, 2012. Figuring that I would finally get a response after she returned I did not bother to send another email after Dec 27, 2012. When I returned from my holiday break and still no answer on Jan 2, 2013 I called once again and followed up with an email, and not to my surprise NO RESPONSE. I waited a week and decided that I would call her supervisor to see if maybe something was happening and she was let go or she quit, as this was extremely unprofessional to not respond to your emails and or phone calls. I spoke to a Sonya who was Kim's supervisor about the situation and she stated that it was extremely unprofessional and would look into the situation as it is not OK for her employees to ignore their clients. She looked up my resume and interview information and seemed a little confused herself as to why I was never called or sent on interviews. Especially since it had been almost two months since I was interviewed. She requested if she could follow up the next day with me to let me know of the outcome. Two days later I get a call from Ms. Kilmer informing me that as of right now I do not fit into any of the positions they have ( basically that they do not want to put me up for any positions) and that they would keep my resume on file and keep me in mind should a position become available. What happened to all the jobs I was being coached and informed about?? I guess I was no longer the best candidate? This is just bad business. As if this is not bad enough, I found a position thru a friend possibly working as a temp to hire for a government position. Being that it would be somewhat short notice they requested if they could speak to a hiring/temp agency that I had previously interviewed with. Thinking that everything went well on my interviews with NRI I called to speak to them about possibly helping me get this position and for them to speak to the new company looking to hire me. After being told that Ms. Kilmer would be out of the office until Monday and that I could email and leave her a voice message to request her assistance I explained that she does not return calls and that I was having an issue with her. Rudely the "acting" receptionist interrupts me and states that she is not suddenly the receptionist and is the accounting manger and is running into a meeting and cannot help me. But did you not ask my problem ten minutes ago and request that maybe you could help me?! I would not recommend this company to my enemy let alone any professionals. If this is how they work with people that have great skill sets and all they do is lie. Look for a professional agency that is actually looking to hire the correct people for the position. They they wonder why the same companies come back to them to fill the same positions?? Maybe its because you guys don't hire based on skills but maybe on skin color or race.

Simply the best! I reached out to YES career coaching…read morebecause I was feeling stuck and ready for a change in my work. My resume was OK, but I wanted to put my best foot forward. The team did a fantastic job on rewriting my resume, cover letter and LinkedIn profile. I ended up applying to a handful of jobs and got an interview immediately. What ended up happening though is that during the resume rewriting process, I developed this newfound confidence in my work that I never had before and I was going to go after what I wanted to do. I started to network with people that I knew in my area at different companies and ended up with an opportunity that was a perfect fit for me. Since I was a referral, the management team was not too focused on my resume but I ended up getting the job! I am thrilled to start this next chapter of my career and I have to thank YES career coaching for guiding me to see the light I had inside of me so that I can show up and be the best version of myself. Highly recommend!!

1 Star I paid $1,800…read morefor Yes Career Coaching because I was looking for professional guidance to improve my job search and secure a cybersecurity position. Unfortunately, my experience did not meet my expectations. I initially left a 1-star review because I was disappointed with the service and the lack of results. After I posted the review, I was contacted and asked to remove it. I was told that they would work with me, take a better approach, and help me with my job search, and I was given assurances that I would receive better support and results. Based on those assurances, I decided to give the service another chance and removed my review. Unfortunately, after giving them approximately another two months, I did not notice any meaningful improvement or change in my job-search results. I have several years of IT and cybersecurity experience and relevant industry certifications, and I have been actively applying for cybersecurity positions. Despite this, I did not see the level of recruiter interest, interviews, or opportunities that I expected after investing $1,800 in professional career coaching. I understand that no career coaching company can guarantee someone a job, and I never expected an absolute guarantee of employment. However, when someone pays $1,800 for a professional coaching service, they should reasonably expect personalized guidance, a clear strategy, consistent support, and measurable progress. What was especially disappointing to me was that I removed my original 1-star review because I trusted the assurances that things would improve. After giving the service additional time, I still did not see meaningful changes. I am sharing this review based on my personal experience so that others can make an informed decision before spending a significant amount of money on career coaching. Unfortunately, for me, the $1,800 investment did not provide the value or results I was expecting.
