I went months and months of applying endlessly, and the only interviews I seem to get were the ones where I had a connection (and I'm not particularly good with networking to begin with, so they were far and few). I searched for 'top recruiters in Boston' and let's just say they all disappointed. I won't mention them by name, but they wasted my time, gave me false hope and had little follow-through on their part, with no contact for months, and I would get pathetic, measly replies after hounding them. After being burnt several times by useless recruiting agencies (you know who you are), I decided that I will try the next one down the list, with no expectations whatsoever. I worked primarily with Dave, and he was so caring and kind, and I finally felt I had my own cheerleader in this dreadful job hunting process. Within a week, he had 3 interviews lined up for me. Within 2.5 weeks, from first contact, I started my new job! I would've started sooner if it weren't for the holidays. They really follow-through, and when they say they're looking for openings for you, they mean it! Before every interview, I had a call with Dave to prep me for what's to come. I didn't even ask for it -- he just did it! They went above and beyond, and they continue to keep in touch with me to make sure all is good in the new place. I met several former Manning candidates in this job and other places I interviewed, and they all have nothing but amazing things to say, and it's no surprise there. I know at this point I am sounding like I get commission for endorsements lol, but the truth is, I was in a difficult spot, mentally, financially, and I would want anyone else in a similar situation to find the same help that I did. Vocational rehabilitation, if you will. Save yourself the frustration, and start with them first.

Applied online and got a call back from Jen who was very friendly, told me to come take a visit for an interview. The building was very nice, prime location in Financial District. Front desk person asked me to fill out an application and led me to Jen after. Jen was telling me that she has been working at John Leonard for almost 30 years holy moly! 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!

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.

Super ultra mega recommended. Jeannie Halsey is my employment warrior. A tireless advocate, she…read moreconstantly is looking at every avenue, and possibility, for that role which is mutually beneficial for all involved. Jeannie is a powerhouse of energy and enthusiasm. Continually searching for stable and experience appropriate employment is a difficult, arduous, exhausting task, at times involving countless faceless applications with algorithms that do not take into account capability, personality, drive, and heart. Their only purpose is to count applicants as the machines they are with the programming they have. Jeannie counteracts that with humanity, caring, purpose, knowledge, and soul. I am glad to have her at my side, not only for my future, but that of my family. I am eternally grateful to all Jeannie has done and continues to do. Thank you, my friend.

Years ago, I applied to work with this temp-to-perm agency. I thought it was a very cool idea to…read morehave a temp agency that focused on jobs in the creative fields. I can't exactly remember what the job was, but there was some interest in one job I wanted and I physically interviewed at their Chicago office. (I'm not sure the downtown location is there anymore.) Shortly after, I ended up getting a full-time editing job with another company that I applied to on my own, so I never got to find out what the company was like. Fast forward several years (maybe a decade?) later. A couple of clients came and went in my full-time freelancing career. I'd randomly applied for jobs with this organization but never held my breath because I always seemed to be getting rejection notifications. (I don't take those personally. I realize there are hundreds of other people all applying for the same jobs.) But I'd been completing freelance work for about eight years and just had no desire to sit in an office again. I have had a handful of remote clients since the pandemic and LOVE(D) working with them. I decided to sign up for Creative Circle again after I stopped for years because of the rejection notifications. I found it was much easier waiting for invites than to apply on my own because the recruiters (obviously) knew what their clients were looking for. I accepted one job invite (along with a few more), and BOY, DID THAT MAKE ME LOVE CREATIVE CIRCLE! The recruiter (Liz) who I briefly talked to was nice. The HR and Payroll team are pleasant. Cesar (who I completed the interview with) and Paula Jean (Engagement Specialist) have been amazing to work with. And best of all, I really like the job and the duo from that company that I work for via CC. I don't know if I would've had this great of an experience a decade ago. All I know is it came "right on time" this year, and maybe THIS TIME was the right time. Even if the project is just for this year, I can easily recommend and compliment Creative Circle for how they treat their contractors. I have zero complaints with CC or the external client. I'd recommend them to anybody.

They have opened so many doors for me that now I have the confidence and experience to deliver quality concepts and ideas to my personal clients and acquaintances. In my personal opinion... any individual leaving negative feedback or bad mouthing their service is probably the real problem behind why things didn't work out. I would recommend them to all my peers in the industry and can vouch for others that have landed career level dream jobs at major agencies in NY, LA, and beyond. Who am I?

Certainly has made a difference for me.

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
