They gave me the opportunity to build real, hands-on office skills across different areas, which helped me figure out what I was good at and what I enjoyed. They took the time to understand my goals, strengths, and personality, and matched me with opportunities that actually made sense for me. I never felt like "just another applicant." If you're looking for a staffing agency that truly cares about people and their success, this is the one.

Penmac Staffing truly goes above and beyond. Their team is professional, responsive, and genuinely…read morecares about finding the right fit--not just filling a position. They take the time to understand both clients and candidates, which sets them apart from other staffing agencies. Reliable, hardworking, and always willing to go the extra mile, Penmac is hands down the best around for staffing. Highly recommended!

I've called twice once at around 1:30 PM and another two times at 3:50 PM on Tuesday and Wednesday…read more I got a notice in the mail and they don't have an address on the notice so I called to see where I am supposed to go and after calling twice like I mentioned, I never got through, I left a voicemail never got returned and now I'm going to be going to three different places that could be Where I'm supposed to go but I won't know until I get there. You people deal with peoples lives, take it more seriously and do your job and answer the phone. When I had a job that was one of the number one things that our staff would do, if the phone rings you answer it because you don't know who's calling and how much they need your help.

This place is a very useful tool in trying to find a job. I used them when I first moved to…read moreMissouri in 2013, and they were paramount in helping me find my first job here in town. Most of the staff are very helpful and very friendly, but as with any other place, you will find a few bad apples, but they are few and far between. This place was also instrumental in helping me when my previous employer closed up shop and moved over the border, and lead me to this trade act thing, which helped me go back to school to learn a skilled trade, and find a better job. I have nothing but good things to say about the staff, and the help I have found here. If there is one complaint I have, then it would be the fact they moved the welfare office in the same building recently, and it's been a real zoo at times when you need to just hand in weekly paperwork, and you got vagrants and weirdos hanging around the area, or raising hell with the poor receptionist just trying to do her job. They really need to move it elsewhere to eliminate these problems. Other than that, it's a great place to get help needed for work. I would highly recommend them.

Every time I call, it's someone brand new. Employers don't take them seriously, and almost never schedule an interview with one of their applicants. And Express in turn aggressively discourages following up. They always promise to call you back... which never, EVER happens. No matter how many times they promise a return phone call, don't count on it. It's up to you to hold their hand. DO NOT hold your breath, whatever you do. I'm honestly not sure how much longer their doors will remain open.

This isn't the location I used. The one I used was on east battlefield. I contacted them when I was…read morestill in Iowa 4 years ago, and was trying to find a job here in this area before I moved to Springfield. They had called me, and wanted me to take some tests and have an interview with them. I came down via greyhound bus to meet with them (and to also spend time with my fiance, now wife). I went beck to Iowa after meeting with them. Several weeks later they said they had something that might fit my skills and experience, and that it could very well be a long term/direct hire type job, which is what I wanted. I packed everything that could fit in my car, and moved down here. They had me at KBC, which is in the Springfield Underground. Unbeknownst to me KBC was only looking for people to help with a couple huge jobs they had, then planned on letting those they hired through Kelly Service go after it was finished. a month and a half into working there, I get a call from Kelly Services saying the job was over, and they didn't have anything else. After bugging the heck out of them the following weeks, they had me at a couple day labor jobs, then never heard another word from them. They seem to be more office employee oriented, and just thought they would dabble a bit in manufacturing jobs because they never again had any factory jobs for me. To me they were very unprofessional in that aspect, because I felt like the only way to get word from them was by repeatedly calling them. This left me in a bind as I was now down here in Springfield with no job, unfamiliar with this new town, and not sure what to do next. I wouldn't say they were entirely worthless, since they seemed to have plenty of office jobs for folks, and day labor jobs, but they did leave a bad taste in my mouth, and put me in a tight spot. I wouldn't recommend them for factory work. I hope in the future they get their act together though. I honestly felt they were not trying very hard for me.

They are possibly the worst temporary agency in Springfield. Office staff do not value their jobs…read more(otherwise they wouldn't leave a potential applicant sitting there for 10 minutes while they talk amongst themselves and answer phone calls after that applicant arrived). In addition, they administer a cotton swab drug test but don't monitor the potential candidate doing it!!!! Besides this, their records system seems to not keep up with the modern technology (otherwise they would have your employee file ready to update). This begs the question: where do those files go???? Because it seems they can't find any employee files after 3 years!!!! Be forwarned when you go to update your information you will have to go in and re-apply from scratch. However, the major problem I have with Human Resource Staffing is that they advertise on Indeed and CareerBuilder that they have several job openings available waiting to be filled. But, when you get through the application, testing and interview they say at the end, "sorry we don't have anything at the moment; but please! check back in with us next week (we might have something available for you?)" I say what a huge waste of an hour of my time!!!! Literally for nothing. Trust me: there are better temporary agencies out there then this one.
