I met with the Founder of PS&R (Kathy Orcutt) and at our meeting, I was impressed with her honest approach to my background, career and the job market. She knows her craft and the ever-changing market and was so helpful with great ideas on how to approach my job search and what to expect. She took the time to get to know me, even though at the time there was nothing in her job data base applicable to my background. When she called me, it was Fate! She had the perfect job for me! Unlike the Head Hunters who send people on tons of interviews, in the hopes the employer bites, Kathy and PS&R are Professional Recruiters - they contact you when they have the right position for YOU! It was a home run! The first company Kathy sent me to, I got the job! She is a Matchmaker, finding the right person for the right role! I hope to be able to use her talents on the other side, if my new company needs a position filled, I am going to the professionals at PS&R, where the resumes I review, will be matched to the business, the people and the job! Thanks Kathy! read more

I love working with a small local business! Kathy and Erin were fabulous and very personalized with their service. I had an unfortunate experience, I left a position after five years and my new job just wasn't a fit for me. I needed an interim job so I could look for a permanent job and still run my household with some money. I registered with this agency and thought they would be like the bigger agencies that never call again. Preferred was very different! Kathy called me right away and I felt she wanted to H E L P. She found me a job within a week filling in at a good company. I now feel more comfortable in an office because previously I spent fifteen years in assisted living in activities where I didn't have much experience with computers. I am just finishing my assignment with NEW confidence that I can now use in a great new permanent position. Erin was also great! She let me do paper time sheets since I am not very computer literate. Thanks to Preferred I am back on my feet!! Great agency they are different and really listen! read more

I worked with Kathy at PS&R and can't imagine having done this without her. We are a small outfit and the idea of putting together a job description when everyone is a jack of all trades, was overwhelming. I felt out of my depth so we placed the call. Kathy could not have been more helpful she took great interest in our needs as if we were a big firm. I talked several times so she could get the idea of who we were looking for. We then got to reviewing resumes might fit us and narrowed people down. Kathy sent us a candidate for an interview and we could not believe how her background, work experience and personality fit our job opening. PS&R gave us a wonderful employee and saved us so much time and effort. I would recommend them to any company in search of a good employee. read more

What a breath of fresh air dealing with PSR and Kathy Orcutt directly. The other staffing firms I've dealt with are so out of touch, you get passed down the line and the left hand doesn't seem to know what the right hand is doing. Not the case with PSR. Kathy takes a personal interest and makes a point to understand what the need is and won't send a candidate unless it meets your requirements. read more
