I just had one of the most awkward and uncomfortable interactions with a recruiter from Pacific Staffing, specifically Elizabeth Mann. I applied for a position and received an email from her asking if I was looking for work and to call her to discuss opportunities. When I did call, it went to voicemail, but she returned the call within a few minutes. From the start, the conversation felt off. She told me her "team" received my résumé for an HR Coordinator position but that they already had two candidates in the final stages. That was confusing, since she was the one who reached out to me. She then began asking about my professional experience, my current role, and my previous roles. The questions themselves were fine, but the way she handled the conversation was not. Each time I tried to answer, I was either cut off mid-sentence or met with long, uncomfortable silence that she tried to down play by saying she was looking into other positions. It didn't feel like she was actively listening or genuinely interested. It also didn't seem like she had taken the time to review my résumé before calling, despite being the one who initiated the contact. I also asked her what OTHER roles they might have available, for instance; Customer Service, Administrative/Clerical, Data Entry, etc. she stillllll wanted to discuss HR Coordinator roles. If you're going to ask me questions about my resume, ask them in the manner of which you have first done your due diligence to review it fully, so you can properly ask me questions that relate to my experience and the variety of jobs posted available. Side note: I have 8 years of experience across training and organizational development, Non-profit sector administrative roles, HR Contact Center experience, and Executive Level Onboarding. So please cut the BS when you call people and act as though their experience isn't a fit, maybe learn how to ask proper screening questions. She mentioned having three HR Coordinator openings, but the way she described them didn't sound genuine, nor did it sound like she had any interest in assisting with finding an appropriate fit. She said she would reach out about one position only if the two candidates currently in the final stage didn't work out -- which felt unnecessary to say and was very passive. She also mentioned another role in Auburn, CA, but by that point, the tone of the call made it clear to me that continuing the conversation wasn't productive and truthfully a waste of my time so yes, I cut it very short and practically laughed at her because WTH why even call? or why keep asking questions if you're not even interested in doing YOUR job. Silly. Overall, the call was rushed, disorganized, and dismissive. Based on this experience alone, I'm not interested in pursuing any opportunities through Pacific Staffing, just like I told her over the phone. I ended the call respectfully, but it was enough for me to decide I would not recommend this agency. read more

Avoid at all cost! Went looking for temp staff and they offered a direct hire candidate. After multiple interviews and negotiation, we offered a position expecting to start in 2 weeks. Friday before a Monday start, they call to tell us the hire leveraged our offer for a pay raise! Incredibly un-professional company. Couldn't be bothered to let us know this had happened more than a week ago! And for this "service" they expected to be paid nearly $30K. Unbelievable! read more

Unbelievable! Elizabeth Mann is the recruiter I was originally referring to in my review. She had the audacity to call me recently for another job. I all but laughed in her face and hung up. Once bitten, twice shy..... I want no part of this shady job agency and some of the 4 star reviews look suspect, as if the employees themselves or their family members gave them positive reviews. read more

As an upper level manager, I've applied to a handful of roles with Pacific Staffing in the last year or so, and have followed up with emails and have never gotten a reply from them. They have advertised over a dozen positions that I'd be a great candidate for, but I can't even get a reply from them. Being an HR professional, it just seems off. They are looking for local candidates and they keep advertising roles over and over but don't contact qualified candidates who express interest. My experience w/ staffing agencies is that they usually want good relationships with candidates so they have a strong candidate pool for their clients. As an HR pro, I'd never use this firm since I have seen they don't care about candidate experience and don't really seem to have the industry savvy needed to seek out quality candidates. read more

I have emailed regarding a job position and the recruiter Nikki stated it has been filled and to look at other job post on there website. Now why is that after 2 days the job position that i have inquire about is still posted. This is the not the first time either that i have gotten blown off. I have opened up my options to them and ask regarding so many jobs that is "POSTED" on there website and they just keep stating that those position has been filled. Clearly you can tell they are not doing there job by not removing the job post or they probably don't like you then they will tell you the job has been filled. What a freaking power trip!! read more

I am so thankful for Pacific Staffing. My team is great-- Lisa-Maree, Liz & Karleen. Kept me abreast, worked expeditiously on my behalf and posed me well to get me into a great hospital. I'm so thankful for them all. I truly know they want to see me succeed. Such a great group of women! read more

I am very pleased with how fast and diligent Pacific Staffing works. Thank you for being the bridge between me and top notch companies I could possibly work for.. #1 being Dignity Health. Karleen Rocheleau, thank you so much for all that you've helped me with. You are so sweet and so good at what you do. And thank you Erika Garcia-Santos, for sharing my contact with Karleen. I 1,000% recommended Pacific Staffing if you're looking for a fast, reliable resource to employment. Lavoyce read more

I have been on the hunt for employment for over a month now and one day received a call from Liza. She was responding to my resume! Within a few days I literally had a interview and a direct hire offer!!! How fast & efficient Pacific Staffing is! 10/10 definitely recommend! Thank you again Liza! read more

Unpleasantly just rude. No call backs or emails. Nothing makes since. It's a waste of time to give all of your personal information and no response. read more

I worked with Becca Brock and she is a very professional recruiter. She got me connected with a company that had an opening that exactly fit my job search. She is very organized and transparent with the process. I would work with her again anytime to find a role! read more

I have been extremely pleased and satisfied with the services provided at Pacific Staffing. Liza and Karleen are always exceptionally professional, pleasant, and polite with every interaction and conversation that I have with them. I know I will be well taken care of, and fully employed, with little or no time to wait. I cannot think of a better agency that is more qualified and ready to provide excellent service at a moment's notice. Thank you Pacific Staffing! You're always right there, every time we need you!! read more

I applied for a position on their website and was contacted same day by recruiter Lucy Wright (https://www.linkedin.com/in/lucy-wright-05168865/) who wanted me to come in for an "interview". I made myself available for the scheduled date, got dressed up, headed down. Lucy neglected to tell me until I showed up that the position I applied for, they already sent a number of other people to get interviewed by the client. But we spent the time discussing my experiences (whenever I could a word in edgewise), handed over my resume and was instructed on when to follow up with her. Within a span of weeks, Lucy kept telling me that supposedly the client isn't getting back to them. Things became suspect when I did get a call from Lucy offering me a very short term position with the same client, but for lower pay and no conversion, not at all like the original position I applied for and I turned it down. The final communication I was told by Lucy that Pacific Staffing and the client were at a "standstill" and even supposedly the people who already interviewed with them never got a response. I just checked their website and saw that the position I applied for is no longer listed. I wasted a day making my way down there and there was never any discussion about any disqualifying factors, or if there was anything to begin with. I was pretty much deceived from the start. You know those online articles that discuss why temp agencies can't be trusted? Pacific Staffing is exhibit A to the subject, with contributions made in no small part by Lucy Wright. So yes, a number of the negative reviews here are on the mark. read more

I was called in for an interview with Liz when I was desperately trying to find employment after graduating from College. She talked with me and helped me adjust my resume to be more concise and placed me into an amazing full time temp opportunity. As my temp position came close to ending after about 6 months, Liz and the whole Pacific Staffing office sent me many interviews and opportunities for placement. Those landed me into what started as a temp job and ended in being hired on full time at my dream job! I'm super grateful for Liz and the whole Pacific Staffing office for helping me get placed into a position that I absolutely love and I'm always happy to let friends know of my amazing experience with them when they mention looking for positions themselves. read more

Pacific staffing is a great staffing agency to work with. They are very professional, organized, and efficient at what they do. They recently placed me in a temp to hire position that is the perfect fit for me and at a great company! I've worked a temp position at another staffing agency in the Sacramento area and I much prefer Pacific Staffing. Alyssa and Liz were in constant communication with me and whenever they got a new job that they thought would be a good fit for me, they would contact me right away. I always felt like I was in good hands. The on boarding process is quick and easy as well. I love the entire team at Pacific Staffing because they really put 110% into their work and will go above and beyond for candidates and clients. read more

Highly recommend Pacific Staffing Karleen and Trish are amazing! They made me feel like I was not alone in my job search. Myself not having any experience in the field that I was pursuing they helped me every step of the way. As a job seeker and pursuing a new career you have to put in your own effort and take the steps to be taken but this staffing company makes you feel like you are not alone. I would recommend anyone to use a staffing company to help you on your path and i HIGHLY recommend PACIFIC STAFFING read more

I have used Pacific Staffing multiple times for my personal job search. They are such an amazing and dynamic team of recruiting professionals. If you are in the job market, they will go above and beyond to match you with the perfect position. read more

I was recently laid off my job, and was a little apprehensive going through a staffing agency. One of my colleagues recommended Pacific Staffing and from the first encounter I felt put at ease; I felt listened to, and taken care of. It's been 3 months since being placed at my current position, and I owe a lot of my success with this company to the lovely people at Pacific Staffing. read more

This staffing agency is totally unprofessional they are a huge waste of time!! Do not expect a call back or acknowledgment from the recruiters. Seems like they only pick and choose who they want to work with. There are far better agencies out there who go above and beyond for people looking for work. Definitely not Pacific Staffing! read more

I HIGHLY recommend Pacific Staffing. After coming back to work following a Maternity leave, Liz and Karleen made me feel welcome and wanted. I completed some assessment testing at home consisting of the Microsoft office suite so they could assess my computer knowledge. Liz and I met for a nice interview where we discussed my options and what I was looking for. After a few weeks and lots of communication back and forth regarding different possibilities, they found a job for me. If you are looking for a job, give their website a shot. They have a job board that lets you see exactly what jobs they are hiring for. read more

Total waste of my time. I applied constantly and even called bc i was seeking a new job. Nope never called me. I even left a message and not even a call back. Made me waste my time to come in to have one on one "interview" with the recruiter and yet have no leads to a job. If i get a phone call I will decline wasting my gas to end up being no where read more

This team was great!!! Karleen set up my test with Sutter, gave me everything I needed to bring, & set me up for success!!! Karleen kept me in the loop & I was able 2 contact her @ any time!!! Darci was also helpful & friendly!!! I would recommend this team 2 any1!!! read more

I have never gone through a staffing agency before but the position I was interested in was listed by Pacific Staffing. I met with Lucy and she listened to everything I was looking for in a company and introduced me to other positions in addition to the one I was first interested. Lucy was determined to find me somewhere that I enjoyed being every day. And I do! Since she has placed me I have had the pleasure of working with other people that have gone through Pacific staffing. They are knowledgeable in what they do, hard working and fast paced. Clearly the best in the business. I look forward to working with Lucy in the future if I should ever need her services to staff our busy office! read more

I have been inquiring about work for over a month now. Pacific Staffing employees are not helpful. I've spoken to Elizabeth, Nikki and Liza. All have completely blown me off. I initially was sent on a interview and when I arrived, the hiring manager wasn't there and I was told I'd have to come back another day. I gave 2 hours of my own time (unpaid) to job shadow. It was completely unprofessional and unorganized. When I inquired for other work and/or if something was wrong with my resume I received a response back that the positions available at the moment are "specialized". Yes, I am "specialized" in many different roles that I've applied for. When I spoke to Liza, she responded that she gets "over 100 emails a day and does not always have time to check back" yet was bothered when I was following up with her when she asked me to. When I inquired with Nikki why placement was so difficult her response was "budgeting issues". Seems like everyone has a different excuse. Don't use this company to assist you in finding work unless you enjoy begging for help. You'll be better off performing your own search! read more

I found this temp agency through a google search. I honestly did not expect to get connected to a job so quickly! I submitted my resume on their website and the same day I received a call! Within 3 days I was matched to a company, interviewed, and hired! I briefly spoke with Liz who was my recruiter and she was very professional. Alyssa helped me with the rest of the on-boarding process and I absolutely love her! She is incredibly sweet and excellent at communicating. Thank you Pacific Staffing for getting me a job so fast! read more

I worked mostly with Lucy and Karleen at Pacific Staffing! They were a dream to work with! They are an incredibly efficient team and surpass all expectations! Everyone at the office is incredibly friendly and always ready to answer any questions or concerns! I would definitely recommend working with them! read more

Lucy & Karleen have been such a big help! I came in jobless and within two weeks they placed me somewhere I absolutely love. Lucy is always there when I have questions and I get an email response promptly. If anyone is looking for a job I recommend them to check out pacific staffing. read more

I really enjoyed my time at pacific staffing. Everyone was super nice and helpful. My recruiter kept in touch very efficiently, and checked in to see how my assignment was going. Karleen was so helpful along this process, Sheila always made sure to remind me to submit my time card. Thank you Pacific Staffing!!! read more

Went for an interview and all they told me that I did not have the credentials even though I am a year away from a doctoral degree and I have worked over 15 different jobs in management and human resources. The person interviewing me had only a high school diploma, go figure!. I did not get the job and when I called to see what was going on no one seems to know what was going on with the process. Do not waste your time here. Look somewhere else. read more

I don't know if I came off the wrong way, but I walked to their location a few months back, resume in hand, dressed to the nine and prepared for some sort of interaction with this company, but all I got told was "Thank you for the resume, we'll keep it on file." I had to go one step further and ask what was to happen next. They were friendly about it, but giving me something to go on would have been very much appreciated. On top of that, I've had no interaction with them outside of myself emailing them only to get responses days later. Outside of my daily interaction with their website and applying to jobs I qualify for, I've had no interaction with this company and regret wasting my time with them. read more

The people who work here are truly amazing. They actually try to get you a job and won't quit till they do. They have been by far the best staffing agency I have gone too and have connected me to great opportunities that really make my resume impressive. read more

Pacific Staffing has been so AMAZING! Karleen and Betsy are the ladies that helped me out. I had been laid off for a few months and took a position in the bay area because I have 2 little ones and took it right away, you gotta do what you gotta do sometimes. After a couple of months it just came to be too much, the commute but mainly not hardly seeing/spending time with my daughters. I contacted Pacific Staffing (which was highly recommended by a close friend of mine) and within a matter of, I would say a few weeks, they matched me up with a job really close to home and I love it here! They are really understanding and respond to emails/calls right away. Thank you so much for all that you do. If you are looking for a job, I REALLY recommend going to Pacific Staffing, they are AWESOME! :D read more

I've worked on and off with this agency and I have to say everyone there is a pleasure to work with! The staffing team is responsive, professional and friendly! They opened a lot of doors for me as far as opportunities go and the team manager is well connected and very knowledgeable of a lot of the major companies in and around Sacramento. If you're someone looking for some great opportunities they will help you a great deal! read more

Had very high hopes of gaining employment through Pacific Staffing. I got to interview for 2 companies and was waiting for my second interview when I was offered a position with the second company so they told me to just take it and not interview for the first position. Upon coming in to fill out paperwork etc. I was told for the first time that I would have to pass a drug test, unlike all other recruiters that tell you they require a drug test from the very start of their recruitment process. Unfortunately I had not quit using medical cannabis early enough and I failed the test. Losing eligibility to apply for any jobs through them for the next 3 months even though I'm sure I would have been offered the position had I got to go to the second interview. I thought I was in good hands but they failed to mention that drug tests are required until the last minute. read more

I was unexpectedly laid off from a position I loved doing in the health care field.I was feeling empty and scared about the immediate future. Naturally self confidence had been diminished. I reached out to Pacific Staffing for help,time is of the essence.There I met Jenny E. who took the time to listen,reviewed my resume, and we talked at length.Through our discussions she brought out skills and assets I forgot I had.Jenny took the time to ask a lot of questions,listened carefully,helped accent certain things on my resume. She took the time to be thorough,compassionate,supportive and easy to talk too.At the end of the day, she was able to set me up with an interview with another company.I literally cried with relief, that not only I got an interview, but that someone actually followed through on what they said they were going to do. If anyone out there is in the healthcare field and needs someone to help navigate the job competition,I HIGHLY recommend Jenny E. she knows how to draw out certain qualities in people and match them with a place to be successful. Jenny gave back a part of me, I thought I had lost. Confidence. That's a priceless gift. THANKS Jenny. read more

I'm really disappointed with the lack of help that they gave me. I registered on there website to help find a job and was on there for 3 months and signed up on there email list, applying to every job I was qualified for that they sent me. I called the office about 3 times asking if I could make an appointment to go over my resume and did several follow up calls on potential jobs and was told to email the lady "Kay". I got a response that said we will contact you of your qualified for something. I have an impeccable resume and fortunately found an amazing job on my own but the lack of help this company gives you finding a job is horrible. I would definitely reach out to other staffing companies besides this one. read more

Pacific staffing has been so helpful in helping me land my first job right out of school. Kay and Karleen were very efficient and professional. They got everything done on time and always answered all my questions and concerns in a timely manner. I highly recommend them and advise anyone to use their help in getting their dream job!!! read more

My experience with Pacific Staffing has not been a pleasant one. I have been dealing with Preet Kaur (Recruiter), who has been non responsive. I have had to call and email her multiple times, and express that I would appreciate a response. Once she finally responds, there is always some excuse as to why she has not responded. Don't get me wrong, I understand that she is very busy, but she owes her candidates some follow up, especially if they are expressing interest in positions posted by Pacific Staffing. Preet's lack of response is assumed to mean that she simply does not care, which unfortunately does not reflect positively for Pacific Staffing. I hope this is not a true indicator of the way Pacific Staffing does business. read more

I had a great time working for Pacific Staffing as a health care worker. For the most part, I worked with Karleen, but all of the staff were great! They were very helpful throughout the process and my questions were always answered immediately. It was easy to keep track on the online time-card. They were very on top of things, even calling to double-check I didn't forget one week when I wasn't scheduled. It did take a little bit of time to place me, but once they did, it was a great fit! Communication was great and they were always in touch during the placement process as well. I recommend Pacific Staffing! read more

The team at Pacific Staffing has been incredibly helpful! They were very professional, communicated with me on every step of the process, and answered all of my questions. They were able to do in two weeks what other agencies couldn't do in two months--connect me with an actual hiring manager, which led to interviews and placement in a position that was a perfect fit. Thank you! read more

I accepted a two month temp assignment that turned in to a six month temp assignment that turned into a full time permanent position. Lucy was very helpful throughout the entire process. Thanks for helping me find a great job. read more
