I first heard about Peak Performers through another online review, so I thought I'd pay it forward and leave one of my own. As a job seeker, I really appreciated the friendly staff who greeted me at the front desk. The atmosphere of the office was calm and professional, and several people went out of their way to make sure I felt welcome. When you're stressed with looking for work, those types of things are memorable. The registration process was similar to other staffing firms. I liked that the application/paperwork was up-to-date and minimal compared to similar companies I'd visited. The paperwork, interview and testing took me about 1.5 hours to complete. Highly recommended, especially for anyone looking for contract opportunities with state agencies. I also found a wealth of helpful information on their website (peakperformers.org). read more

Excellent staffing company. They were very helpful in walking through the process of transitioning from one job to another.

Austin has a massive talent pool to draw from, so if you're new in town or are seeking a new job, Peak Performers can place a person with office skills into a temporary job - almost 100% of the time with the state. The staff here is super nice and will place candidates into a setting that's a decent fit. They placed me into two different temp jobs that were very decent and a good match with my skills. Send in your resume, call every day, and Peak Performers will help you get a job. They did for me. read more

Peak Performers is awesome sauce. Paula B goes above and beyond to find the right fit for you. I felt special working for them. I was placed at Texas Board of Nursing. The staff there is great. Never made to feel like " just a temp". Actually felt appreciated. My disability wasn't a hindrance for once! If you are looking for that special place Peak Performers is the one! read more

Peak Performers - I started working at Peak Performers in 2018. The best staffing agency ever. Paula B goes above and beyond for you! - Employment Agencies Near Me - Austin, Texas

Great experience with this staffing agency. My first time I dealt with Cheryl McDonald who was okay, not the friendliest but okay as I was placed in a great enviornment with good pay. This time around I had Paula Baczewski and she was amazing! Very friendly, checked up on me all the time and was just an overall joy to work with. Because of Mrs Paula I highly recommend Peak Performers! She truly cares about your well being and employment career. read more

I had a really good experience with Peak Performers and Elizabeth Moliter specifically. She was able to secure a job for me working for DSHS doing meaningful work involving COVID-19. This was a significant jump in salary from my previous job and it was almost immediately. I didn't have to wait for months. She called me back in like a week. Very professional and a very friendly staff. Top notch. read more

Wonderful experience with this temp staffing agency catering to those with disabilities! My staffing supervisor was Paula B. and she has been absolutely amazing. Very professional atmosphere yet warm and caring about the individual! I was placed with a state agency right away, but did not work long for them as I found a ft position in my field fairly quickly. I will definitely use their services again! read more

I had a great experience working with Peak Performers. All the staff were extremely helpful to my hiring process as I am transitioning out of one industry to another. Amber King went above and beyond and helped with all the pieces leading up to an employment offer. Communication was frequent, helpful, and timely, making the interviewing and job search process effortless on my part. I would recommend Peak Performers to anyone needing help finding employment. read more

These folks are absolutely wonderful, especially Elizabeth, the staffing manager. They are caring professionals specializing in working with people with disabilities, and they will place you with the State. Best money I ever made temping. The first assignment I got I was at for 6 months, then they abruptly fired me for a bullshit reason. Peak found me a much better assignment that helped me get the full-time role I have now. I'm very, very grateful to them and can't praise them highly enough. When I left, they sent me the nicest card wishing me the best in my new job - so sweet! read more

They pay extremely well. Weekly. Have monthly contests. Highly recommend. Also provides tips on resumes. I send everyone I know here.

I first met the staff at a Job fair organized by the Texas Workforce Commission. Peak Performers had a table at the event and I introduced myself while providing a resume. Although this was not an IT specific event, I was informed I could work with Renee Holder and that my resume would be passed along. A few days later I got a call from Renee and we discussed the opportunities and requirements of working with Peak Performers. It wasn't long after I completed the paperwork that we had a handful of opportunities to discuss. This led to placement at a month long project with ERS. My experience was excellent at ERS and I was a good fit for the project. Staying busy, I was able to complete the project a week early and I moved on to another assignment right after. The impression this experience left me with was very good. I felt like the opportunities we looked at were a good match in general and a good place to start. I also felt that these were opportunities that I would otherwise not been able to access. I appreciated the fact that personal disability was an advantage, taken into consideration as well as opening the doors to placement. I have since moved to a permanent job with another state agency. For me, the time I spent with Renee at Peak Performers prepared me for this. I'm really appreciative of the service they provide! If I need help again in the future I will be talking to them. I was working with recruiters at three other agencies in the private sector during the same time and had been unemployed for nearly a year. For what it's worth, Peak Performers got me working again. Renee was down to earth and easy to work with as well as driven to task. This was a huge improvement over the recruiters in other staffing agencies. read more

Renee from IT Services at Peak Performers got me an interview at 10 a.m. on a Tuesday. I was offered the job by 1:30 p.m. that same day!! How many people can say that? Peak Performers reviews your skill set and matches with their client openings. What I couldn't do in a year, they did in just a few weeks! Truly grateful, Danna R. read more

My staffing consultant was Paula B. I applied on a job website, got called immediately for a job opening. I filled out some paperwork and in a couple of days they found me work. At the job I was placed, it seemed they needed a lot of help and my co-workers were all from this temp agency. From my interaction with my co-workers, they were all very nice and easy to work with. I would definitely recommend this company for their professionalism and charitable attitude. read more

I had a great experience with Peak Performers. They were professional yet sincere while they tested my skills. Within a month I had two interviews for state agency positions. I was selected for one, which provided me with experience I was able to take to official employment with the state. No one treated me poorly in the office--whether in person or on the phone. I'm glad I got referred to Peak Performers. read more

I was very lucky to have found peak performers. This is a great organization of very nice people who are eager to help. Everyone is very friendly and makes sure to listen to any and all concerns that you may have and does their best to match you with a position. These people are awesome. read more

Two years ago, I accepted a position with a state agency for a six month contract. With help from the staff at Peak Performers I was able to get that project extended for 2 years. Sadly it has come to an end, but my time working with Peak Performers, especially Bree and Barbara, was as pleasant and productive as any agency I have ever worked with. I have accepted a private sector job now but if I ever go back to contract work, I will be calling Peak Performers first. read more

This non-profit has become a close ally to myself and Military Veterans here at Texas Center Point Inc. They do a great job of assessing their candidates and placing them in amazing positions working for the state of Texas. Mo and Stephen are the best, and work hard to get civilians and veterans alike working and doing well here in the ATX! read more

i moved to austin recently (mid-june) and was overwhelmed by the prospect of finding employment. i saw a listing on the TWC website for a data entry postion that paid pretty good. i was kind of skeptical at first, but proceeded to go to the job fair. two weeks later, i find out that i was selected for the job (along with 64 others) and started a job with the state (after a background check and fingerprinting). when that job was over (5 week job), i called in for three days before i got an offer for another position (two week job) and the the day that THAT job ended, i got an offer to return to the original job. i really like all the staff that i've encountered (esp. Mai) they've all been so helpful and caring and professional. sorry about this review being one huge run-on sentence, but i'm watching tv and doing other stuff, lol) update: it is now 03/08/11 and I was actually hired by the dept that I was placed in, so woohoo, peak performers! thanks so much! read more

Ummm no, they don't like you unless you actually waste time at the job sites which they DO place you at. These ladies hold productivity against the people they actually do place--as in they release you from the company. And then they lie their tail off at the other places which you later DO work at. They'll actually give your employers false information about you. This is above and beyond even what Austin's other 'bad' temp agencies do. They don't just not return calls--or loose the files containing your info at their agency. They'll proactively work to get you fired at subsequent jobs. They just don't like people being productive, period!! Skip them entirely. Don't even attempt to work here. DO NOT use them read more

This is my first assignment with Peak Performers. The office staff is very nice and professional The office environment is professionally decorated and will make you feel at home. read more

I already wrote a review. For an agency that claims to want to help people with a disability get jobs they do not make reasonable accommodation. I went there a couple of weeks ago you have to fill out their application in writing instead of being able to download and type it in. My hand writing is not that great because my hand cramps, and I have arthritis in my hands and legs. So, I am not anxious to go back. I find it curous that they say they give priority to individuals with disabilities and yet you have to write out these applications and I nine forms and etc. I was on their rolls years ago but did not get work mainly because I worked in other jobs. Again I find it curious that they do not accommodate to individuals they claim they give priority to, howeverI Goodwill does the same. You would think that a staffing company who deals primarily with clerical workers would have a way for someone to type in their application and ids to get aboard. I know restaurant make you write it out it is just strange. I just do not feel like going back. They may be a good agency. But, I feel I got off on the wrong foot with them. And do not want to go back. I might add even though Peak Performer states they give people with disabilities work. The fact is that most of their jobs are from the state and the state wants workers they considered "job ready" whatever that means to them. And a lot of jobs want workers who can multi-task do two things at once even though I really do not think that happens. But they may wants some who can answered a switchboard and enter data at the same time. The reality is no one can do two things at once they may go from one task to another quickly. But, they really do not do two things at once. The bottom line is the state wants fast workers handicapped or not. read more

I want to say thank you to Elizabeth.. She has worked with and placed me at a job no less than 24 hours after I first spoke with her. Also the job I have now has helped me on the road to get a permanent position with the state. Peak will help you get in the door and give you the opportunities to gain state experience in the area that you are working in. The project that I am working on just got extended and I have no doubt that if it ends before I find a permanent position that Peak will have my back and get me placed again very soon. To the negative people out there Peak cant give you a job all they can do is try and place you for things that you will fit for so if you don't get a call back work on your resume nothing in this life is free you have to work for it. read more

Just as Gloria said. If you are actually productive and finish your work ahead of time, you will be disregarded for future employment opportunities. You are also required to swallow your pride and humanity when talking to agents at Peak Performers as they will treat you like third class citizens. When I call any place of business I would never expect to be addressed with a sarcastic, "Oh. It's you...yay...." Not professional at all! I understand being desperate for employment but I can't handle being treated as if I am unworthy of existence. read more

Just horrible business model/practices. Don't waste your time here. I came in, filled out all the forms and called in every day for a month and ... Nothing. There wasn't even anything acknowledging my existence and I never got a sense of expectations. I ended up finding a job through networking. read more

From the first appointment I was impressed and excited with Peak Performers. Bree and Mia were both very helpful and professional. I had contacted a couple other temp agencies but decided to work through P. P. and have not regretted my decision. I have worked every day ( 40 hrs/ wk) for nearly 3 months and my assignment may actually turn into a full time gig... Doesn't get any better than that!!!! 5 thumbs up!! read more

They provided me with opportunities and experience which greatly helped pave the way to permanent work in the public sector.

I was contacted by Peak Performers regarding a position with one of their state agencies. I was impressed first, with their beautiful office and then by their friendly and genuine staff through out the whole process. They explained everything I needed to know about the position and they made it very easy and comfortable for me to go to work. If I had any questions, I was given personal attention and guidance. I also liked being paid once a week. :-) I love what I do now and am eternally grateful to Peak. read more

I actually got 8 months with the State of Texas working with Peak, pay was only $12.00 hr but most of their jobs only pay $10.00 or so. It might be what the State of Texas only wants to pay. They have not had any work for almost 2 years now, I no longer call them. Did check to see if eligible for re-hire and they said yes, but I always hear "Things are slow", could be as the state has cut back on workers. You have to be disabled to work there, I have a bad leg. Would have rated them higher if they had sent me out on another job. read more

I have worked with Peak Performers on multiple assignments with State agencies. The pay was great and the assignments were appropriate for my skills. My experience has always been very positive. I have worked for other agencies since retiring and I can say Peak has been the best. read more

My 'job coach" was virtually useless. I found her to be loud, unprofessional, rude and a liar. Jo nell orJo somethin'. For some reason I was stuck with her. Not a people person. Hmmm, maybe I should find their corporate headquarters and write about the short little sawed off pain in the $^&. Too many jobs in this great city to mess w/ this lame company. Not to mention they're jobs pay low and a monkey can do them. I hate that place and I detest the ladies there. read more

I have worked for Peak Performers a little over 2 years until I found a permanent job. They were great at keeping me busy and employed.

Don't bother! They have no grasp of even basic customer service. I wasted three weeks calling in every day with absolutely no response - not even a "check in." I've temped several times in the past in different cities, and never had an agency be so non-responsive. I registered with another agency and had an assignment the next day. read more

This agency has been so great to me. Not only did they find me a job right away but they were actually concerned with what kind of environment would make me the most comfortable in. I say that because I am a mature woman and had a little trepidation on finding a job where I felt like I fit in...well, I am telling you, they found me great jobs with a mixture of age groups in the environment and I felt like family at every one of the jobs I was placed. They weren't just trying to stick me anywhere, they actually cared??? Wow, what a novelty when compared to other temp agencies I've dealt with, of course I am not going to name some of the others but I will say that Peak Performers outshines them all. A BIG SHOUT OUT TO the gal I first met who referred me from the job fair (I'm sorry her name escapes me now but OH MY GOSH, she was so instrumental in helping me), and also to my recruiters Cheryl and Paula, who are not only professional, but very kind - they really were rooting for me. I AM SO THANKFUL TO YOU ALL!!! read more
