I would like to share my experience at Accounttemps Fremont. I had been out of work for months and frankly, I had lost some of my self-confidence. During my month's long employment search I had registered with dozens of internet employment sites, applied for hundreds of positions on line, and was only contacted once for an interview. Although I felt the interview went well, the interviewer contacted me a week and a half later to inform me they had chosen another candidate with more relevant experience. The whole process left me slightly discouraged. I felt the internet job search was just not working for me. I decided to contact the local staffing agencies; possibly one of those agencies would have an opportunity for me. Armed with my resume, I drove to 6 local staffing agencies and distributed my resume. I followed up with phone calls, left messages and waited for replies. A few weeks later I received a reply from Accountemps Fremont. Out of the 6 agencies I contacted, Accountemps was the only one that followed up with me. They scheduled me an interview, provided their web address (for registration purposes) and three days later I walked in to Accountemps. During the interview, the recruiter, Meryl, asked questions relating to my work experiences as she reviewed my vague resume in detail. She continually prodded me, taking notes from my words, demonstrating to me just how highly skilled she is as a recruiter, in order to determine exactly what relevant experience I had. During that thirty five to forty minute interview, I began to sense my self-confidence starting to seep back in. It was amazing. Not only did I feel I might actually have a chance to gain employment through the agency, as I left there I felt I was walking a little taller than when I first stepped through their doors. The fact is Meryl showed me such respect; acknowledging my skills and abilities, that I immediately gained a new perspective on my employment search. By simply recognizing my skills and abilities, she boosted my self-confidence and lifted my spirits. I left the office that day feeling positive I would certainly receive an employment offer. Moreover, shortly after I did! Although I did not receive the actual job offer for a few weeks, Meryl and the staff at Accountemps kept in touch with me during the entire process. They notified me of a possible assignment that seemed to be a perfect fit. The employer was nearby, and looking for someone with the exact type of experience I had. They were going to present me to their client and get back to me. The next few days seemed to drag by, while I waited for that call. The following week I received a call from Chris, the manager at Accounttemps Fremont. He informed me they had presented me to their client, informed me of the location of the position, (only 3.16 miles from my home) and asked if I was still interested in the position. Of course I was! The next few days flew by! I contacted their client directly, discussed the position and my relevant experience with their client on the telephone, it seemed to be a perfect fit for me! I began working the next Monday. This coming Monday starts my 5th week. The position, a contract assignment, will last 6 to 9 months. . I am close to home, love what I am doing and I owe it all to Accountemps! The staff at Accountemps provided excellent Customer Service and follow-ups. They are amazing. I highly recommend them! read more

Writing this review has been rather difficult for me because it is hard to put into words just how appreciative I am from my experience at Accountemps Fremont. Getting a call from Meryl, the staffing manager, was truly the start of something great for me. My story began as one of lost hope as I'm sure many have or are experiencing at this moment. I was going on five months of unfortunate luck with obtaining interviews after having quit my previous job. I was starting to get worried and losing a bit of faith that I would ever land anything. Into my fifth month of not working, I received a call from Meryl and set up an interview with her at their Fremont office. I could not have been any happier with the level of respect I received from Meryl. She was attentive, friendly, and really trying to get an understanding of my skills. The interview was the start of a great working relationship. While I did not think my resume was very impressive, she showed me that it was. She was confident in my skills, which meant the world to me and reignited my own confidence in myself. She was definitely a source of encouragement. Meryl was able to find an assignment for me within a couple of weeks with a great company. I definitely enjoyed my time there. What stood out the most, though, is the fact that Meryl continued to keep in contact with me throughout my assignment to make sure everything was going okay and to provide any support, if needed. Her job never ended when I started my assignment, which is what I am truly grateful for. That is, she was genuinely invested in my professional growth and looking out for my best interests. A few weeks into my assignment, I was fortunate enough to get a full-time position elsewhere (outside of Accountemps). While my time at Accountemps Fremont was short, it was still a great experience. Accountemps Fremont is not like any other employment agency; rather, it is so much more. It is an office filled with professional staff that care and show concern for their candidates. If ever I find myself looking for a job again in the future, I will definitely be back. read more

As a 2010 Finance graduate, I really struggled to find anything after I got out of school. I languished for a few years through unemployment and it was definitely a depressing experience. I always felt that I just needed a shot to get my foot in the door, so I tried my hand with Accountemps. I wasn't really expecting much because another temp agency hadn't been able to get anything for me in the past. But this was an entirely different experience. I met with Chris at the Fremont office, and he was very confident that he'd be able to find me something within a month. And sure enough, he and Meryl delivered with a one-week assignment to get my feet wet. It didn't take long after that for them to get me a 4-month temp-to-hire position with another firm. I succeeded there and have recently been upgraded to permanent. My experience with Accountemps has been overwhelmingly positive. I met with them in late August/early October, received two assignments, and was able to parlay that into a permanent position by December. The Fremont office is very professional and, if you are diligent in your job search, they can definitely help you out. I'm incredibly thankful to Chris and Meryl at the Fremont office because they worked very hard to find appropriate positions for me. They were friendly, gave great advice, and never let me feel like I was left out of the loop. read more

As an accounting professional, when I'm in the job market my "go-to" agency has always been Accountemps. True, it's a business, not a charity; yet I have always found this agency more "engaged" with its candidates than others. The branch in Fremont is no exception. From the start, managers Chris and Meryl have demonstrated genuine interest in me, a humble candidate. They answer emails. They answer phone calls. They've given me feedback when necessary, encouragement when needed. And even though it's a business relationship, I do feel like they are "in my court". I have not always had such a consistent experience with other agencies. In my opinion, it's possible these days to digitize resumes and turn job placements into algorithms. But it still takes people to make the hiring decision, and people to convince them that they're the "one". That's where Accountemps in Fremont comes in - it's the "people" link. Yes, I also apply for jobs online, but I think what that lacks is the whole reason I go to Accountemps - PEOPLE. People who can help network me into the door. Chris and Meryl, from my standpoint, are two dynamic and committed managers representing what has been for me a successful company providing a needed service. Keep up the good work! read more

I have been with Officeteam since 2011. Both assignments I was able to be converted as a permanent employee. My 1st assignment, after being converted lasted a 1 1/2 and then we lost the account, and I was out of a job. So, I went back to Officeteam, a month later, Mr. Ruben Alvarez called me up, with an assignment in Fremont working for a medical device company. After 3 months, the company converted me to be a permanent employee. I've been in the industry for many, many years, worked for different companies. I can honestly say, that I finally found a company, that I truly believe in what they offer to the world. I'm grateful, and honored to be a part of this team. And I'm truly thankful to my recruiter Ruben Alvarez and the Officeteam staff for this opportunity they have provided me. This is a true blessing in my life... I thank you Officeteam.. Your the BEST!!! I've been with many, agencies.. for awhile, I was known as the 'Temp Queen', but I can honestly say, Officeteam, has been a blessing. Great staff members, and they really do care about their people. (It's hard to find companies like this, nowadays.)... So, if you need a job, i recommend 100% Officeteam, to be your main source of assistance to find a job. They will always be there for you. read more

I have worked with Officeteam on and off in Central and Northern California regions and have made wonderful contacts and gained valuable skills I can take with me everywhere I work. I signed up with the Fremont office several months ago, working with Ruben and Julianna who sent me out a lot and are a consistent support while on assignment. If you do your part in preparing your resume and completing the online profile, being flexible and positive, you will do well. Agency employees work hard and compete just like any other business and it helps to always understand their position and be on their side, and be supportive of them too! One assignment leads to another and if you continue proving yourself, you will get more and more work opportunities, leading to permanent work. Always keep in mind, attitude is everything and we live in a connected world. Gaining a good name and reputation, with a proven track record takes time! Best of luck to all! read more

Let me start by saying that Officeteam in Fremont is one of best agency I have ever had with my employment search. I have tried other agencies, but nothing compares to Officeteam. Ciera and Juliana have been very professional, supportive, and consistent with helping me find the the right job/assignment. They helped me find the right job that fits my qualifications and experience. After officeteam helped me land a job assignment, Ciera is doing follow ups on finding out how the assignment is going and if everything is going well. I am very happy with officeteam and will be using them as my future employment agency. I have recommended them to family and friends and I am also recommending it to you or to any one looking for employment. On your next employment search try officeteam and you will not be disappointed. Thank you Ciera, Juliana and Austin for all your help. Best Regards, Ronico read more

Accountemps and Robert Half are always my first and only choice for Finance and Accounting opportunities. Other agencies don't carry the same weight with clients nor does their staff act as professional from my travels. I've been placed by the Accountemps Fremont office since December, 2007 on two long term assignments. I can always rely on Chris Nguyen and Meryl Rebaldi to represent me with the client and to touch base frequently to see how I'm doing and if my needs are being met. I've never had an issue in getting the support I've needed to be satisfied. The team is honest and very proactive in finding new and challenging opportunities that fit my skill set and experience. I could never imagine going anywhere else. read more

I started as a Salaried Professional in 2004 for almost five yrs, then as a temp for four years when recession hit, but with continuous access to RHI educational training on line and outside of RHI, it has kept me updated in technology which is very important. As a temp I have been exposed to various operating systems and met lots of friends and contacts. Accountemps has been good to me. Fremont office has been great, small office but great staff. Thanks to Nelvin, Brian, and Chris Nguyen for all their hard work and support in finding me a temp to hire position in two weeks time from my last assignment. Love you guys! I highly recommend this office to anyone seeking employment. read more

Accountemps is my 'go to' place when I need help in my Accounting Dep't. On 2 occasions, I needed someone ASAP that was honest, competent and skilled. My request was filled within a day for both candidate requests. Resumes were sent, best fit was discussed...problem solved. Headache and worries - GONE! John Miller, Division Director is wonderful and easy to work with. He listens, understands your needs/questions and assists in your decision-making process. He becomes part of your team. In a word...he is competent. As a leader at Accountemps, he is making changes and moving things forward. Thanks for being there, John! Trudy A. read more

I first began working for Accountemps when I was in college. Another classmate of mine recommended the organization and I can honestly say that I have had the best experience with the company. The Fremont office in particular has provided me with some of the best experience and at the best rates! Chris Nguyen is an excellent representation of the organization as a whole. I relocated to Southern California but if I were in the Bay Area I would definitely work out of the Fremont office. They really take of you. I hope my review was helpful to anyone looking for short term to permanent accounting work. :) read more

Robert Half Office Team in Fremont has surpassed my expectations as a temp agency! Christian Cepeda is a wonderful recruiter who has helped me find the perfect place for me to work. He has gone above and beyond to be attentive to my needs as well as help place me with a company that best suits my skills. Juliana and Ruben have been extremely helpful as well and i am completely satisfied with the work this company does for people like me who really need that extra push through doors with opportunities that I wouldn't be able to contact or find myself. I cannot thank this company enough! read more

Robert Half wasted 4-month out of my life! They original said $75k 3-month-to-hire. Guess what I got offered, $60k! It's a shame, I'll talk with this company and make sure that Robert Half doesn't get any conversion rate if I do take this job. If Robert Half has a problem with this they can speak to my attorney and this will go to civil court. BTW - Robert Half didn't even offer me benefits & insurance package when I was being contract out and being paid by them! They don't even offer bereavement leave too. Don't pretend to not know who this is. read more

I lived in Auburn, NY and Accountemps help me find job and keep me working. I moved to California went to Accountemps for a job and within one week I was working the job which turned permament then many years. Later I was unemployed. I was looking for work for about four month on my own but nothing. I went to Accountemps interviewed with Meryl. She made me feel like I was talking to a freind about my career path. Merly send my resume to Chris within two days I am working again. read more

I think they are the best in the industry. I was new in this country. Then I met Rosa Martinez from Accountstemp. She knew where to fit me in. She was quick to find me a temp assignment. Since the assignment was short and I was looking for a long term I was about to leave the assignment when Rosa guided me to stay in the company and very soon I got a permanent offer in the same company. Thanks to Accountstemp for this great opportunity they gave me. read more

I worked with Office Team for 4 years. I worked with Julianna Bravo and Ruben Alvarez. I went on many interesting assignments. I meet some very nice people, through the years that I worked. Last week I converted to perm and I don't think I would have been given a chance if it wasn't for Julianna and Ruben's guidance. Thank you to Julianna and Ruben. Will miss you guys. read more

I signed up with Office Team after seeing a posting online. The entire process has been professional and surprisingly responsive. I have used other services before, but they did not offer the same level of service I found here, which goes above and beyond what I expected. I am sure that I will be recommending Office Team to others that I know in person. read more
