I am new to the consulting world, but I feel fortunate to have been connected with the owner Josh. Josh is very hands on. His firm has a boutique feel compared to competitors, which provides much better customer service to all parties involved. Don't let the size fool you. He's connected with a network of companies and built personal relationships with their executives, which translates to better leverage in opportunities for his clients. He is knowledgeable about career paths and offers quality advice while setting realistic expectations. He is responsive and intuitive, often following up with answers before I even have a chance to ask the question. Compensation seems fair, comparable or above other consultants in the same role from other firms.

Josh was professional, responsive, and most importantly found us the right candidate in a timely fashion.

Someone by the name of Gaby texted me out the blue saying that I attended an interview, which I am…read more200% certain that I didn't. I called for confirmation and she really tried to sell me on the fact that I interviewed with them. So like anyone who does not close doors on opportunities I asked for the job posting, and the rep could not provide one. She couldn't even recall my name. So why would you text me and ask for sensitive documents? I'm sure they are getting people employed, but imagine what the process is like if situations like this happen? If I was vulnerable I would have sent them all my sensitive documents with no job lined up.

This is the first time I used the Express Employment branch in Columbia, MD and this will also be…read morethe last time. I needed two temporary workers for a job fair event I was having at the BWI Four Points by Sheraton. I emailed the owner, Jim Craig, Wednesday evening to set someone up for the following Monday morning (5-days notice) The following morning at around 11am I contacted the office because I never heard back from anyone. Jim answered the phone and said "he was just about to send me an email" He told me Jessica is the person I want to speak with to set up the temps for Monday morning and that he'd forward my email to her so she'd have my information. The conversation with Jim was strange in that he seemed more concerned with making sure I have a billing account set up with Express rather than wondering what my needs were. Approximately 2pm, about 3 hours later, I called and spoke w/ Jessica. Jim had failed to send her the email so I forwarded her a copy. She said my temps would be no problem and asked if she could contact me the following morning to finalize. I said "yes." Friday afternoon came and I never heard back from Jessica so I called her. She said she "was just about to email me the temps info" and she would do it in 5 minutes. I ended up getting the email at 2:54pm, the end of the day Friday. Jessica had set up my two temp workers for Monday and emailed me their contact info so I could touch base with them. I called the first temp to confirm and was very unimpressed. He seemed completely void of social-functionality and I could barely hold a conversation with him regarding the logistics on Monday. The second person I tried calling didn't answer her phone, the call went to voicemail, which of course the voicemail box was full and I couldn't leave a message. I called her two times Friday afternoon / evening with no luck and also sent her a text. I emailed Jessica in hopes of having her help me get a hold of the temp with the full voicemail box. Jessica offered to try calling her from her phone. I asked Jessica for her personal cell phone # in case I have any emergency's with the temps over the weekend, ie...they cancel on me, etc...She did not reply to my email so I assume she doesn't want me to contact her. My event is on Monday morning and the workers need to be there at 10am. At this point I'm feeling extremely uncomfortable with the people that were chosen for my fair and uncomfortable with the fact that I'm not able to contact one of the workers, nor my Express Employment contact for that matter. My company hosts 16 job fairs per year in the Northeastern United States. I mainly use Express Employment for each of my job job fairs and have always had wonderful results with them, until now. In hindsight, I would have definitely chosen to go with a different staffing agency and saved myself the headache. My recommendation...skip past Express Employment in Columbia, MD and choose to contact a different staffing agency. I ended up calling OfficeTeam on Pratt Street in Baltimore on Saturday afternoon and they were able to help me with no problem! If you have any questions regarding my experience or would like a recommendation on other staffing agencies in the area, feel free to contact me directly. Steve Faulk steve@premiumjobfairs.com

I should have composed a review late November when I was let go or December 2024…read more Elite Personnel VP contact NHG and manager EH contacted me about a Contract Travel Accounting position for a large union International Brotherhood Teamsters IBT near the Capitol downtown DC. It was a temp to hire staffing assignment and looking to start Monday August 12. Interestingly, I just relocated from NYC July 31, 2024. I had to work 500 hours to become permanent. I already interviewed three other staffing recruiters and a Silver Spring MD direct hire HR employee which they were stalling with pending next steps in the interview process so I prioritized my time and took IBT staffing agency to survive. Although the pay rate was $29 hour and it was non-negotiable per NHG so I had no choice. She "lowballed" me since my salary was $65,000 from my previous NYC local employment for nearly seven years. My duties include verifying and auditing employee travel expense reports and applying LM2 schedule for accurate coding using SAP Concur software and processing travel-related vouchers on Microsoft Dynamics XL formerly Solomon Edwards software. I was grateful to learn two new software SAP Concur and Microsoft Dynamics. I loved data entry processing travel related vouchers since it keeps me busier than verifying expense reports which caused me to doze off occasionally. Travel Accounting manager TB I thought I worked well with signed my weekly timesheets mostly. This racist Travel Accounting supervisor JF was and is arrogant and indifferent toward temp employee as a Black male and normally out of the office a lot leaving less work for me to do. JF and I were not on the best terms. The other four other Travel Accounting employees trained me a certain way to verify and audit expense reports. I explained to him during two performance evaluations September 17 and November 1 for the reason for my swift delivery and attempted to avoid careless errors and I acknowledged my breakdown to him and to TB. JF applauded my data entry and admin related work with limited and no errors. I expressed oftentimes sitting at my desk unproductive and idle for a long time whether I am working slow or fast. He and TB admitted about some down times which expense reports aren't coming regularly. Staffing agency RHI sent a black woman temp to handle back logs for both Vietnamese permanent employees out of the office in late October. She and I share the same birthday, and she has extensive accounting background including travel accounting experience from a large NW DC university. JF asked me to train her on processing travel expense vouchers and she acted pompous and kept interrupting me in the process. She asked some of the questions repeatedly and cosplaying from making careless mistakes and she did tasks her. She implied JF and another white female temp employee explained the best way opposed to mine so I just ceased training her and talking to her. Their ice was and always colder than mine. I refused to work in a spiritual and gender warfare toxic environment feeling disrespected by her and the co-workers. I am beginning to feel uneasy working with the temp and how she tried to undermine and sabotage me along with JF especially with my 500 staffing assignments are set to expire November 25. I addressed my concerns to TB. Finally, NHG called to inform me Wednesday November 27 to confirm my last day since the Accounting Manager TB and/or JF informed her I was "frustrated" with the lack of consistent and regular work and my refusal to accept permanent offer since they pay once a month according to TB and other employees. Also, I refused to work in a toxic environment feeling disrespected by HR, cafeteria staff, "raccoons" security, and many union employees.

Straight out of undergrad, they were able to place me on a temporary assignment that lasted for about 2 months, and then when that ended, I was placed in a more long-term admin front office role. When nothing else worked to put my degree to use, I could count on Elite to get placed somewhere, and luckily for me, they seem to have great connections all throughout the DMV so I didn't have to wait too long before I would hear back with a potential opportunity. If you're still in the search for a new temp agency, I definitely recommend Elite be your next (and last) stop ;)
