I had tried two other places in Western, MA and they never called and they never got me any interviews, but working with KNF&T I got probably 4 interviews in the span of a few months. Krista O'Shea was my primary contact and she prepped me for interviews, got me interviews, followed up, and kept moving forward with supporting me if the interviews didn't work out. This means a lot in such a finicky job market. I'm not sure what other locations of KNT&T are doing, but this one was stellar.

You can go to my page and see what he said under compliments. Actually, no, I will just cut and paste it here. "Seriously kid? You bash staffing agencies? I didn't help you because you sucked! I placed an average of 20 candidates a week in jobs; the reason why I couldn't help you is because you are probably a very immature person with no experience! Honestly I don't even remember you and you know why? It's because you suck you are a little punk ass kid! I should write an April P review here about how horrible of a candidate you were. I help a lot of smart people but not the stupid ones like you. I feel really bad for the other agencies that tried to help you or actually had to use you for one of their jobs. You probably represented them in a very poor way. You should also really spend more time concentrating on a career rather then blogging about people and business you don't like. I'm glad I found this blog and I am really glad I didn't use you to represent me. Grow up and get a clue!!" So yeah, that was the level of professionalism that Boylston Staffing hired. I've since found a great job, which I left to go back to school and get my masters. So I really don't think I am the immature one.

Don't even waste your time. Kathleen is most likely the…read moreagent you will speak with. They RUSH you in the door, and don't listen to ANYTHING you are saying. Unemployment rates are high, so I'm sure they get the same kind of applicants in excess daily, but omg do they ever treat you like a number here, rather than a person. For my interview with BS I arrived early, but they were not ready to even acknowledge my existence until almost 30 mins past my scheduled time. (Considering there is nowhere to park other than the Prudential parking garage, this would concern anyone unemployed.) Once I was finally seen, my interview lasted all of 8 mins. I don't even think she looked at my resume. Of course its an agency, and you have to fill out numerous applications and forms, however I've never heard of the following: Kathleen is busy rushing me through signing and dating all the forms, meanwhile not listening to a damn thing I was TRYING to tell her about my skills and what I was looking for. I thought I was almost done, and then she pulls yet another form from thin air, asks me if I've been collecting unemployment. I replied yes, for about 2 months. She then shoved this form in my face, asked me to sign it without any explanation, and wen I asked what the hell I was signing, she curtly responded that the government will give her a monetary kickback for recruiting me since I've been collecting unemployment. Put the most sour taste in my mouth. So folks, if you just want to be another commission for these idiots that NEVER CALL BACK, be my guest. At least you can dip through Lord and Taylor on your way out, and buy a little black dress that will most certainly bring more financial gain to your future than Boylston Staffing

After a few assignments, Contemporaries found the perfect assignment for me in November 2014! It…read morewas a temp-perm position. When the assignment was over, I was hired as permanent! I've now been with my company for 3 years. I LOVE my job/career! If it was not for this agency and their connections, I would have never found this perfect fit! Be patient, work hard, be RELIABLE, and they will work with you to find exactly what you are looking for. It takes time. Show them that you WANT THIS and believe me, they will eventually find it for you! It takes two to tango. I highly recommend this agency and would definitely use them again if I am ever looking to change fields!

So far, I really like this company. I submitted a resume, and they got back to me not too long…read moreafter. Eventually they came to me with a position that seemed really great for where I was in my professional journey. We set up an interview, they gave me a quick prep interview and I felt decently prepared. At first, the assignment had decided to move on with another candidate, and Contemporaries offered me a new assignment almost immediately. Before we could make any moves on that position, I got an offer from the original position! So far, I love the position, and I hope to be permanent at the end of this assignment. Without Contemporaries I'd still be looking on Indeed so I am very grateful.

I met with Megan Cuddy on Wed before memorial weekend. She sent my resume to two employers. Even…read morebefore I got home, she called to tell me that both employers wanted to meet me and was i available for an interview the next day. She sent me the information on the job descriptions and I did a marathon preparation. The next day I went for interview #1 at 10am and I knew immediately I wanted to work there. I connected so well with the hiring manager that I felt like I had always known him. Even before 2nd interview, Megan called me to tell me that #1 is very interested to proceed to 2nd interview. In the meantime I had been interviewing with another employer and and right after these interviews I got a job offer. I however wanted to go to 2nd interview with job #1 so I told Megan about the offer. I went to 2nd interview the following Tuesday and again I connected amazingly well with the two people I met with. As I expected, I got a 2nd job offer from them on the same day and now I had a major decision to make. Megan helped me get my dream job. She negotiated the salary and although I felt slightly pressured to make a decision, I'm eternally grateful she steered me in the right direction. Basically Megan helped me get my dream job in less than a week. I had met with a couple other staffing companies but they didn't really have anything to offer me.

I have exposure to this search firm and worked with them successfully only time in a decade. Though…read morethe people there are very nice, they absolutely are not responsive and have a tendency to only call when they have you in mind specifically for a job that is especially difficult to fill and open for awhile. Instead of allowing candidates to consider multiple opportunities and discuss with the recruiter what would be a good fit for them and their goals, they have a tendency to act as though they are "using you" similar to a bad relationship. My last exposure to this company was with Teresa and it was positive at first, and the company I interviewed with actually wanted to hire me, but I knew it wasn't a fit. So then when I kept looking and reaching out, and Teresa ignored my emails because clearly I didn't take the job she needed to fill. That was unprofessional. P.S. I really dislike seeing companies try to give themselves a series of 5-star reviews, which the Yelp algorithm picks up as fake (because they are), and sieves them out to the "Not recommended reviews" tab at the bottom of the Yelp page.

She has secured me my best assignments over the last few years. She never puts me in a box, but instead, sees the transferability of my skills and because of that, has gotten me some great gigs which have expanded my HR portfolio quite nicely. She has really extended the effort to get to know me and clearly values building a long-term relationship, versus just filling the positions that are currently on her desk. I have the highest respect for Maureen and her professional abilities and results.

My experience working with this agency was top-notch. Daley and associates is the real deal…read more Angela Fagin is, hands down, the best recruiter I've ever worked with. She helped me land my dream job at a competitive PE firm in Boston in an incredibly tough labor market with a company known for a very rigorous interview and hiring process, and without her guidance, support, coaching, professionalism, optimism, and help navigating the process, I honestly don't think I would have gotten there. Under Angela's guidance, I was able to land a role in a completely new sub-industry sector of finance, one that is historically very hard to break into without past experience. Angela spotted my potential and was able to sell me. What truly sets Angela apart is how genuinely invested she is in the people she places and her long-term commitment to finding the right fit. She stuck with me through major life changes, including having a baby and even turning down the first role I was offered, and months later came back with the right opportunity, patiently waiting until the timing made sense. She believed in me from the very beginning and was thoughtful and intentional every step of the way. Angela also coached me through a challenging departure from my previous company and helped transition me into my new role seamlessly, while still keeping my new employer confident and supported. She understands the delicate balance recruiters must walk to keep both candidates and employers aligned, communicating openly, and moving forward without friction. She helped me navigate difficult conversations, negotiate what I needed, and ask tough questions that are often considered taboo, all without creating red flags. Because of her transparency, care, and ability to handle difficult personalities and unexpected blockers, I felt informed, supported, and confident throughout the entire process. I would work with Angela again in a heartbeat and recommend her without hesitation. She has a rare ability to find the right "sweet spot" for each candidate, highlight their strengths, and thoughtfully address any concerns along the way. She is truly exceptional.

She was very professional, knew what she was doing, and sounded like she has a great relationship with their clients (employers). Asked me couple questions about my skills and experience, what I want to do in a long run. After the interview, she explained some of the jobs they have in the system and asked me if any of those spark my interest. Really liked this short term assignment in Cambridge, was places there a week after that interview! Went through many assignments with various employers through John Leonard so far, was a great experience to work with all those employers. John Leonard seems to have a good clientele of employers that would treat you well as long as you do your job! Long story short- no matter what kind of career goals you have, John Leonard will listen to you, learn your story to find a great assignments that fit to your needs and qualification! Shout out to Jen, you are awesome!
