Creative Circle is easily the best recruitment agency I've ever worked with!…read more I have been with them for over 10 years in different cities, and refer anyone I meet that's looking for work, to contact them. Opportunities range from short term assignments, long-term contracts, and contract-to-hire. Their agents are thoughtful, dedicated, and will help insure your resume & portfolio display your best attributes. They regularly contact you during work search and after placement to make sure your needs are met. Issues are handled within the day if not within the hour - To that point, they scrambled to help me organize with jobs I was on when they found I was effected by a natural disaster! A grateful thank you to both Kristi Seifert (WA) and Katie Berkson (PA). I highly recommend Creative Circle to anyone looking for new opportunities!

Creative Circle is a brilliant concept. And, I believe there's ample room for the company to live…read moreup to their stated values. The actual people I have had the pleasure to engage with have always been lovely. But, my observation of their business model is that they are income-focused-first and relationship-focused somewhere much further down the line. Being more net-income-centric than human-centric resonates as more similar to "following" than "leading" in business, most certainly in the marketing world they represent, where consumers are critical and have endless options. Mine is, of course, just an anecdote, one experience. I have received dozens of invitations to apply for roles and I have responded to a select few, only those where the fit between my skillset and the work required was genuinely aligned. And, I've never received a response of any kind. There's a very modest time investment they make upfront, evaluating prospective employees', like myself, experience and expertise at the start of the relationship, then the 1:1 communication seems to end there. It's been disappointing. If I were ever asked "How can we improve?" I would offer that the opportunity for Creative Circle here, as I see it, is to reflect on your values as a company, take a look at the shifting marketplace, and create an authentically human-focused engagement environment where there's trust fostered, earned and realized between the employer, the prospective employee and the Creative Circle brand --- and the real-life humans behind that brand. I realize that's potentially a daunting task, perhaps one that eats into net income... but someone's out there trying to figure it out. Why not you? With all due respect, this has just been my experience. Perhaps others have enjoyed something more meaningful and valuable in their collab with Creative Circle. The other reviews here would suggest so, but I suspect there's a lot more folks out there who feel similarly but have too much else to worry about right now than a yelp review.

Excuse me I am an adult. Nothing conversational about it. Nothing relational. She then sent me an email immediately after this unprofessional screen. What a surprise! She was nice. My resume would be forwarded and reviewed by Parker's client. That was fine. After stringing me along, she texted, left a voicemail and emailed me. I was at an appointment. I turn my phone off so I can listen to others without distraction during appointments, etc. I let her know to only call or email. Overkill. I returned her call. Quite demanding, entitled and self-serving. Jump ahead because I do not have time to write everything out. She lied to me twice. So, I decided to decline the Zoom interview with the client and I texted her since she appeared to like texting. I declined the interview and I blocked her. In a matter of seconds, she called me from another phone number and what overly nice - not authentic. Kirsten, who do you think you really are. She talked over me wanting to know why I declined and what company I planned to go to. She continued. I finally raised my voice and talked over her. I don't owe a liar anything. Why would I tell you what or where I am going? So, you can benefit from my work? I can help you. No way! An awful technique. She kept talking over me so I swore. I am not proud of it. Parker your need to build relationships, not steamroll people, who your representee reached out via text as a marketing tool. I asked Parker to remove me from your files previously when Kyle worked with you. It was disorganized. Remove me! I have contacted numerous HR professionals and let them know of my experience with Kirsten. Kirsten, you have received too many Participation Trophies. Get over yourself.

Back in the late 70's I began with "Kelley Girls" as my mother before me. The company is now called…read more"Kelly Services." However, I then transferred over to Apple one due to better pay scale. I consistently worked with Apple one in three states, and in three counties in each state so that I could always have income, yet flexibility to travel as my parents had homes on both coast. I thoroughly enjoyed numerous assignments as data entry operator specializing in statistical typing/input, computer operator for large mainframe systems, A/P clerk, then bookkeeper, accountant as I continued my education and about 15 other titles with "Fortune 500" companies. AppleOne supervisors were always awesome to me. My manager kept me under their wing and nurtured and supported me even when I was doing a job that I was nervous about taking, like as a "Jr. Planner" which lead me to an "Inventory transactions analyst" position for three years identifying, evaluating, rectifying, and presenting my findings with the five key department heads on a daily basis. AppleOne encouraged me and supported me and made me the woman I am I will never forget AppleOne and how they changed my life. There were very few 18 and 19 year olds working in Aerospace with top-secret security clearances and I was fortunate to be one of the few. AppleOne helped make me feel special and be special. They gave me the confidence to tackle things that most people would only dream of and kept me living in style! Can't say enough good about them. I later had the confidence and skills to start two of my own businesses and be home with my children when they were little. Young or old, fat or thin, classy or plain Jane.... they find a place for everyone at every point of your life! Give them a try I think you'll be extremely happy, as I had been. In fact and now that my husband has passed by am signing up with them again tonight. With Apple one you won't need good luck you'll have a good team!

I was asked to contact them to explain the situation. I emailed and again was ignored. I followed up here and mysteriously my review has been removed. This is not a good resource for job hunting. I'm embarrassed to see that their marketing department replied instantly with an automated response. See below. That reply posted at the same time as this review. There probably never was an actual attempt to look into the problem at all.

I have been trying to reach someone for a few months now. I'm surprised, as a recruiting company,…read morethat they aren't more proactive with meeting potential clients that they can place in positions. As a talent or recruiting agency, I would expect that they would communicate, get to know the candidate and what they're looking for, check in with candidates once in a while. As a candidate coming from Los Angeles in the apparel industry, I thought someone would be communicating with me about my interest in positions in the Seattle area. Especially, since 24 Seven specialized in the industry of my experience. However, I have yet to be connected to someone with any sort of customer service.

You'll be paid closer to your worth, and if you don't like the facility you work in one day, simply find a different placement. Plenty of opportunities out there for us laborers. Don't feel bad for your employer--it turns out they have the resources to pay you more, but it's in a different portion of their "budget," and they allocate that for agency stand-ins as opposed to paying their dedicated staff. The folks at Express are doing good work, in my opinion. They have been friendly and helpful, and given me more compliments in 3 weeks than I received in 3 months of working at a facility that shall remain nameless. Wide variety of places to choose from every day, rate of pay is disclosed before you accept a shift. Don't accept poverty wages. Make employers pay! Solidarity, comrades.
