I owe my last 5 years in Los Angeles to the team at Officeteam Westwood! They placed me in a great job quickly and were supportive during the transition from temp to perm. I've referred many friends to this location and everyone has been pleased with the level of service and professionalism. read more

Must sing the praises of Kim Garstein and her highly effective team. In a span of about 3 weeks, I interviewed with multiple impressive companies and ultimately accepted an offer from my top choice. These ladies move so quickly and really go above and beyond in terms of communication, support and overall experience. Kim, Kayla, Ariana, Emily and Sam - you girls rock!! read more

Was being approached by one of their recruiters and was being convinced to an interview for a position with one of their clients. Then never heard from her. No phone calls, no emails at all. In general, I find a lot of these recruiters are like salespeople. Very desperate to make their commission. Sugarcoat/exaggerate things. When you are "useful" to them, they act all sweet and nice. Otherwise, don't expect them to return your call/email unless you have something that would favor them. They love fishing for candidates on LInkedIn too, watch out. Also, they take 50% off the freelance hourly rate, that means your clients paid them $50 but all you get is $25. The cut is more than any art agent or rep. Better do more networking and marketing on your own to get gigs than going thru them. read more

So, drove to this office to register with a friend. We both scored extremely well on the software and typing tests. We've been signed up with this agency for a little over a month. They've contacted me three times total. My advice. If you are interviewing at other companies do NOT let them know. Pretend that you have nothing going on. They will not submit you if they think you have other opportunities. Both of us ended up finding jobs on our own. I'm working at very large corporation.My friend is currently working at one of the studios. Not sure what the deal is with officeteam. They don't seem to have a lot of jobs coming in. They were great back in the day. For the past few years I've been finding work on my own. The recruiters at this branch are very nice! Just don't rely on them for consistent work! :) read more

Very friendly, professional and fast! Placed me with a job in a couple of days upon an interview. Kept me busy with work until it was time for me to move. Thanks so much. Will recommend! read more

Absolutely awful temp agency in Bevverly Hills.Worst staff and discrimanatory.discrimated against me because of age and British accent. Worst staf work there.Narrow minded, discrimatory, bigoted.. Avoid.DO not hire from his firm or contract with them as a temp.From an experienced temp with great references. read more

First ever review! I moved to LA a few months ago with a decent resume, mostly entertainment-related, but had an impossible time finding work. I had no knowledge of temp agencies or how they work and was very skeptical about their ability to help. But after months of searching on my own, my situation became dire and I decided to give temp agencies a chance as a last resort. I Googled "temp agencies" and saw OfficeTeam pop up to mostly good reviews. Within a week of contacting them, I was in touch with their agents and had my meeting/interview set up. I interviewed at the Westwood branch. Before meeting them, there were assessment "tests" for common admin programs such as Microsoft Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and a general typing test. The tests took about 30-45 minutes each and were very manageable for anyone who is computer-literate. I did really well with the typing test and was just above average for the programs, and about average for Excel. The day of my interview, I met with several agents who were incredibly nice and within a week of that interview I already had job offers. These jobs ranged from short one to two day gigs, to weekly gigs, all the way to potential temp-to-hire positions. The jobs were all over LA which was a little difficult as I don't have a car but the bus system does the trick if you're willing to make it work. The highest offer I received was $14/hr which isn't amazing but when you're hungry for work and they're finding you jobs, you can't really complain. Overall, this was a great experience and helped put me at ease when I was at the point where I needed work immediately. As for the bad reviews, I have to think these folks either didn't do well on the assessment tests or didn't follow up with the agents because there wasn't a week that went by where I didn't receive a job offer after I had my interview. I also was fortunate to have a pretty good resume built up from my time in NYC which I'm sure helped. However, if you're computer-literate, have a good attitude, and are eager, OfficeTeam is definitely an amazing company and I would absolutely recommend contacting them. Good luck! read more

Other agencies have been able to keep in contact and show some effort on helping me find a job. This place and the person who said would help me has left me on the back burner with no type of communication other than the initial role/job they showed me when I contacted them. They are not that dedicated to helping you, like they said. And when I call or send email they are very short, as if they are busy. If they was that busy, maybe I would have some kind of leads from them... after a MONTH. Worst experience dealing with TCG. read more

This is THE premier temp agency. I primarily worked with Samantha and Kim (who are phenomenal!!!) and I was given a wide variety of assignments that emphasized my strengths and allowed me to diversify my entire skill set. The companies that OfficeTeam partners with provide the ultimate learning experience for any office environment. After a season of temping, I was hired full-time from one of my assignments and received nothing but encouragement and support from Samantha and Kim. OfficeTeam is the way to go! read more

After being laid off for the second time within 4 months, I had no idea what I was going to do. I turned to Office Team and it was one of the best choices I could have made! Samantha was so helpful with the enrollment and interview process, and the first position they sent me on hired me within 30 minutes of interviewing. Because of the stellar performance of my Office Team, they were able to match me with a position that perfectly fit my skills and I was offered a permanent position within a month and a half of being brought on as a temp. I can't thank you all enough! read more

Thank you to Santiago Farmoso for being up front, honest and clearly communicate the job opportunity he presented to me. It is refreshing to have someone at a staffing agency be HONEST, UPFRONT and COMMUNICATE. I recommend this OfficeTeam location! Thank you! read more

There isn't enough I can say about this particular Office Team. Essentially, if it weren't for Kim, Nicky, Stephanie, and Lindsay at Office Team, I would be in a ditch somewhere. I consider them my 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th mothers. Here's my Office Team story... I applied for a job through Office Team in October of 2012. I had no idea it was a temp agency. I got a call from Stephanie asking if I could come in for an interview. Again, I had no idea it was a temp agency. I wore a tie like the moron that I am. Wasn't necessary. The interview was basically a run through of my skills, goals, and personality. I took some Microsoft Office tests and met with a few cute ladies and was on my way. I was just happy to take off my tie. After about two days, I started receiving texts, calls, and emails about my availability. NOW I REALIZED IT WAS A TEMP AGENCY. I was in desperate need of a job and NOTHING was happening for me. So, I caved and decided to open up my life to these women. Best decision of my life. The women who worked with me at this particular location were incredible. They're truly genuine, caring, and passionate people. It really made me feel worth while. My first few months in LA I felt like a pile. They reversed that. They first got me hooked up with some day-to-day gigs. I was working odd jobs with them off and on. Finally, after some patience, I landed a full-time gig! Office Team is on top of their game. They are quick to respond to emails, voice mails, and even texts messages. Sometimes they were working until 7 or 8 at night for me. Not only did they become my colleagues, they also became my friends. Office Team also rewards you if you refer! I've referred countless people and have probably made $250 off of that alone. There's no negative with this place - only positive. They're truly professional, punctual, and friendly. PROS: Caring people -Location (Westwood) -Parking -Friendly -Got me work -Driven CONS: None. This place is a gem. Love them. Sean read more

After spending months fruitlessly searching for an entryway into my dream career, I signed up with Robert Half at a friend's suggestion and was immediately impressed by how professional and supportive the team is. Just several weeks after I signed up, OfficeTeam found me a temp position with an amazing tech startup where I quickly transitioned into doing what I love with people that have come to feel like an extended family. Almost a year since I joined the tech startup, I've finally been offered a permanent position with a great salary. I really can't thank OfficeTeam enough, especially Darby and Samantha who have been so supportive of me and even took me and my co-workers out to lunch! They are incredible kind and generous people who will take care of you and will do everything possible to make sure you succeed. In short, it's no understatement to say that OfficeTeam truly changed my life for the better. I would recommend them to anyone without hesitation. read more

They do find you a job fairly quickly -- with that, I can't complain. It's best to be specific and up front with regards to what you're looking for because they do have quite a few opportunities, I think. If you don't want anything long term you can choose purely "temp" -- don't take "temp to hire" if you don't anticipating working long term at the described company. Really, they can suit your needs. You can find free parking a few blocks down -- if you don't want to walk, use the meters. But personally I don't mind walking and would rather not worry about feeding the meter! The office is located on the 9th floor and includes Bank of America on the first level. read more

I feel so fortunate to have connected with Lisa Berube of TCG. Full of energy and equipped with an incredible network, Lisa is a go getter who gets what her clients need and what her candidates want. Right away she found me a gig at an agency I've admired for a long time but at which I hadn't been able to work prior to being placed there by Lisa. The gig was great for my networking, experience and resume and I got great reviews from everyone I worked with. The agency asked for me back again and again. Let's just say Lisa is the eHarmony of recruiting. She sets up matches made in heaven and everyone is satisfied. ALSO Lisa gave me the BEST portfolio advice I've gotten all year and I've had portfolio reviews with some of LA's top CDs. She gave me very specific website suggestions that directly increased my qualifications for specific jobs. Clear feedback is priceless and not only did Lisa give me that, she also helped me prioritize each website change before I dove into my navigation restructuring. To boot, I look forward to my interactions with Lisa because she's positive, upbeat yet honest. She also passed along very valuable agency feedback after a couple placements I didn't get. Knowing why you're not eligible is just as valuable as what makes you a good candidate. Great experience! read more

Thanks to Kayla, Jade, Samantha and David, I was able to find my dream role! I have always been a skeptic when it comes to working with job placement agencies; I had heard so many horror stories from online posts and acquaintances, but this amazing group of people truly changed my mind. From minute one, I felt that they took the time to get to know me, and what I was looking for in a position. The team always kept me apprised of new jobs that would match with my skill set, feedback on interviews, and constant encouragement throughout the entire process. In March, I agreed to take a temp to hire role, and I've never looked back; I was hired at a phenomenal company, working alongside the most incredible boss. I have so much gratitude for Kayla, Jade, Samantha and David. read more

Honestly, it's been such a pleasure working with Samantha, Darby and the entire team. They've provided employment with some really incredible companies with good people, amazing culture and interesting work. I owe them a great deal of thanks for all of their support and the ability to make a strong impression on my behalf. read more

I loveeeee OfficeTeam! I was a recent college graduate, new to LA from Michigan and needed to find work immediately (August 2012). As soon as my interview with OfficeTeam Westwood ended, I was placed on a couple assignments and had numerous interviews back-to-back. By September, OfficeTeam placed me in a temp-hire position that I loved! Not even two months into it, the company I was temping for offered me a fulltime position that I'm currently working today! I am so grateful for Kim, Sheena and Katherine. They seriously looked out for me. I felt like I was a priority. The company I work for is, conveniently, in the same building as OfficeTeam Westwood. One day when I'm not swamped at work, I want to visit them. Words of advice to new temps: Be prompt to your assignments. Work beyond your best. Taking your assignments seriously will make OfficeTeam look good. Make good and lasting impressions during the assignments, and OfficeTeam will book more jobs for you. read more

I can't say enough positive things about the staff here at OfficeTeam in Westwood. I moved out to Los Angeles with nothing lined up - other than a place to live. After a month of applying for jobs on my own, with little to no luck, I gave OfficeTeam a call. Now, I was registered with OfficeTeam back in Florida - so I knew the drill. After a few calls, I scheduled a time to come in and meet the team. I met with Sheena and her group. We talked about my goals, background, what kind of work I was looking for, environment and our love of Disney. I pretty much walked into the meeting unemployed and walked out with a great assignment offer. Sadly, I only was able to work at the assignment for a few weeks as I found a job that is more in my field. But, when I told them, they were nothing but excited and supportive for my new opportunity! Now, I can't speak for everyone, but there is nothing negative I have to say about the staff here. They are open to communication and always quick to return calls/e-mails. If you are a hard working professional, they will work equally as hard to place you. Robert Half and OfficeTeam are highly respected nationally, so, the clients they work with expect the best. Come to the interview on your A-game, ready to work and they will return the favor! If I ever find myself needing help on my job search again, I have the OfficeTeam Westwood number on speed dial. Thank you to Sheena, Kim, Gloria and all the ladies/gentlemen here! I wish I could give them more than 5 stars. read more

Robert Half Technology is a wonderful organization. All because of one person. Anna Malayan. Before signing up with Robert Half Technology, I was skeptical. I read a lot of reviews online that spoke negatively about the company. After my initial meeting with Anna Malayan, I quickly dismissed those reviews. I was fortunate to be assigned to her as my recruiter. She responded quickly, always called for updates, and left voicemails. Additionally she followed up if I was too busy to respond (I was working part-time). There was an scenario where I received a parking ticket while working on one of the jobs another recruiter signed me for. Even though Anna was not that recruiter, she was able to get the ticket fine reimbursed. This is just one of the examples that she is a very dedicated recruiter. I would recommend Anna to anyone who is looking for a position in IT and Development. read more

One of my best experiences ever!!!! These guys really try their best to help you!! I have been looking for a job for a little over a year....ufff no luck, then i came through THE CREATIVE TEAM and i gave it a try, then the magic began!! They started calling me and hooking me up with several openings until i found my fit place ! And guess what now i'm working there and no longer in my old boring job cause of them!! Love you guys and thank you for everything. PS: Carol is the best. read more

Just signed with The Creative Group. Good move, really helpful! I hadn't gone the agency route before and was a little skeptical about getting attention, but my recruiter, Robyn Ross, is hard-core. She sent me on not one, but two interviews in the first month! And not cruddy interviews either, good ones: legit companies, decent pay, full benefits, permanent work in my field. Robyn is great! A real pro. I've also worked with Carol Schenkler who is amazing as well. I hope to continue working with them and all of the recruiters at TCG in the future. read more

There's definitely a reason TCG has higher scoring reviews than other creative agencies - it's because their fabulous recruiters actually care and do their due diligence to find you the perfect fit :) I was at a job I had outgrown from and decided to leave to try and find a better fit, somewhere that I could grow and receive a pay rate that matched my set of skills. I signed up for a number (and I mean like 5-6) job agencies and ended up finding a PR job on my own, and I'm pretty sure it's just a sweatshop for recently graduated journalists. Anyways - I get a call from my recruiter, Jessica Buck, while I'm at PR hell and she shoots the idea of a temp copywriting job that I could start at in 24-48 hours. I jumped ship, did a phone interview, took a quick copy test and bam - 5 hours later that same day I had a new job! Not only that, the originally 2-week temp job is now my new full time job :). The whole time I was struggling to find work, Jessica was communicative, responsive and entirely reassuring. She was patient in finding me the perfect fit (a millennial style office with major potential for growth) and made it a point to never push me towards a job I wasn't interested in. All in all, I was turned off from job agencies until I worked with TCG and Jessica. There's really nothing to lose and a mountain of opportunity to gain! read more

The Office Team squad in Westwood is top-notch. Over the past three years, I have come to them with various types of availability (everything from 2 days in the middle of the week to a few months) and they were more often than not able to find employment for me. If I wasn't on assignment, they were good about finding me last-minute fill-ins and replacements. On top of finding me plenty of placements, they were also supportive and helpful on the rare occasions when placements were not a good fit. Indeed, you enter every workplace hoping for the best, but sometimes the environment is a bad fit for you - they get it. These ladies are friendly, responsive, diligent, and thorough - what more can you ask for? I've referred six of my friends so far that are already working with them as well...I feel like my Dad when I say "what do you mean you can't get a job" because the OT squad has been able to find plenty for me. (for the record, I've also used Office Team for temporary stints in Boston, Denver, and San Francisco - also with great result) read more

I recently came across OfficeTeam in searching for temp or temp-to-perm work. I had recently moved to West Los Angeles, and needed a bit of help in my job search. I was contacted by Kayla, and we quickly met to discuss options. I immediately felt that she got me and had a clear idea of which jobs might be a good fit for me! Proof being, she got me my first placement within days. I have since found everyone at Office Team to be excellent resources - I am always able to get in touch with someone quickly, and everyone I've encountered is professional and thorough. Certainly a great organisation to be a part of. read more

This is the best job agency I've ever worked with! Quite a few recruiters worked hard to ensure that I was getting the opportunities I was looking for. You show up, have common sense, and do your work, and they keep calling you back. Every time a client gave them good feedback on me, I got more and more offers. I love how honest I was able to be with them (with the good and the bad), and that we worked together as a team to get me the jobs that worked for me/jobs I worked for. Whenever I had an issue (because this happens anywhere - they can't control how companies will treat you), I immediately communicated my concerns to them, and they were very receptive. They were helpful in getting me out of any bad situations, but there were definitely way more good experiences than bad. All job agencies take a fee from their clients for your services (they have to make money somehow), so of course, as a temp, you won't make as much as you would working permanently. However, when I needed a little more, if I knew a place liked me, Office Team was always incredible at negotiating rates for me, saving me from having to have the awkward conversations. I don't know where my life would be without the recruiters of Office Team. I've worked with them on and off for years, from 2010 until now, when I'm moving out of LA. Throughout these years, they got me many temp jobs, three temp-to-perm that came with permanent offers, one of which I accepted. I worked for that company for over three years, and then went back to Office Team when I was looking for something else. I've worked some of the best jobs through them, in many extremely legit and well-known creative agencies (media, entertainment, and advertising). Now my resume looks so great that I already have an interview in the small town I'm moving to. Thank you so much, Kim Samantha, Kayla, Ariana, Emily, Jade, Darby, Taylor, and Lindsay (before she left) for all that you've done for me! read more

"Super efficient" is the phrase that comes to mind when I think of Cristina Donofrio. From the beginning, Cristina reached out to me before I met her in person at a career meet and greet. She conducted a Skype interview the next day after we met and set up my profile so that she could start submitting me for jobs that aligned with my goals and interests. Cristina offered me security and confidence in my job search and she constantly gave me updates on potential job opportunities and feedback from companies. More importantly, throughout this entire process I began to see Cristina as a sincere confidante and genuine friend than a business acquaintance. As a design contractor, Cristina earns my highest recommendation. read more

I don't think this group places many people. Seems like they waste time with fake interviews. One employee even admitted this to me. Make sure you independently verify there is an open position. Often you can go to the company website they claim there is a job and see no job opening at all. Plus many of their job descriptions are cut and pasted from each other, which makes me believe their business is nonsense. I'd like to see some real statistics on how many people robert half places. It seems like they are just an information gathering outfit that will waste your time and gas. read more

This is the best staffing agency in Los Angeles in my opinion! The recruiting staff is phenomenal and very professional. If anyone is looking for a temp position, this company is the right choice for you. read more

I just moved here are about 3 weeks ago and for the past two weeks (since I registered with them) all locations of The Office team has been booking me non-stop interviews. HANDS DOWN the nicest, most understanding, hard working group of people ever. I HIGHLY recommend them. Come with your A- Game and they'll get you an interview at your dream job!! read more

Definitely had a great experience with RH office team. They were great at communicating new opportunities and following up. They were easy to work with and the team was great overall. The best part of using them was how quickly I found a job opening and I only had to interview once. Turned out to be a permanent position and ideal for me! Thank you so much office team. read more

I moved to LA about six months ago and couldn't find a job so I decided to go through office team and they definitely were a huge help! So glad I contacted this office because everyone I worked with was very nice and helpful! They seem like they actually care about helping you find a job and once they find you something, they'll keep in touch just to see how everything's going. Some agencies I've been through in the past will just send you off and not really care if you like what they've chosen but office team makes sure you like the position and they'll try to find something else if you're not satisfied. I enjoyed the first position they assigned me and everything worked out. I'm very thankful for this team and everything they've done for me! read more

Robert Half and its associates at the Westwood office got me interviews quickly and worked specifically with my situation and requirements to get me a really good-paying job. I highly recommend their professional services. read more

I've worked with different agencies and I've gotten job offers and actually landed a job even for a temp. Office Team is a piece of work, they are just a bunch of snotty women who sees candidates as commission. When they finally interview me and claimed they have a couple of job openings that best suited my skills and experience, they low blow the pay. I've compared the job positions with the other agencies I was working with and their salary pay even for a temp is almost to the minimum wage. I've asked if there's any room for negotiation just to see if they can fight for me I was immediately shut down. This happened 4 years ago after 3 temp jobs and 1 permanent job, and now they called me for an "update" to see if I am working and as to where and if I am open for another position. This just tells me that they are desperate and just collecting candidates to add in their database to promote business. I will never come back nor reach out to them ever again. I hope they change their way of doing business where they actually get REAL corporate companies that will pay big $$ for excellent candidates. I'm happy to say I found an agency that placed me in a well reputable company and my team are awesome and the pay is great! read more

If you are wondering if TCG is what you are looking for in a hiring agency, TCG is one of the few thats got your back. Brie Tomaszewski has been an awesome recruiter!! A go getter! She has helped me find work at the top agencies all over Orange County and LA. Very professional and is willing to go out of her way to help you out and do almost anything to see you happy. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have had the experience i'd have now. TCG has been a great asset for networking and experience. If you haven't discovered Brie or TCG yet, you have been missing out! read more

Update: ****I'd like to respond to Gretel M., but no LinkedIn profile exists and I couldn't find any contact information for her. Review below: I don't know about other reviewers, but here's my experience. I called Office Team. The recruiter said they had jobs and they're busy. Submitted my resume, filled out the application, interviewed via Skype, took software tests and received high test scores. They checked my references, but not one interview after five months. I checked-in regularly, but mostly left a voicemail for the "recruiter of the day". I checked their recent open jobs on the website. I called on four at different times. The ones I chose were either filled or they had no information. Frustrating! I found out the woman who conducted my Skype interview no longer worked there. I wasn't on anyone's radar. The woman I spoke with (no names here), tried to put me on the defensive. Somehow this is my fault. I called again, another recruiter told me about a position. She submitted me to a company as it turns out, late--after the company had already interviewed others and was ready to make an offer. I was always polite and professional but was never treated the same. One recruiter said she hoped that Office Team wasn't my only source for finding a job. The last one I spoke to said that basically because I've had specific professional positions but only one administrative assistant position, their clients wouldn't be interested. Why didn't Office Team tell me that before I filled out an application, did a Skye interview, took tests, went through a background and reference check? Job hunting is very stressful. Why make matters worse by trying to humiliate a candidate going through the process? read more

Kim, Kayla, and Samantha have been the BEST team backing me in my journey! Just a few days after signing up, they found me a great position in a field I wanted to be in. After about 5 months, I am happy to say that I have a full time position with the company and I am SO excited. While it was my first assignment with OfficeTeam, I have no doubt if I were to need any other assignments, I would have the same level of care and attention that I received. Everyone at OfficeTeam understood that I was looking for something entertainment based, and were amazing at finding the best fit for me. They followed up with me often before the assignment, during, and now after I have been signed on as a full time employee - they are still checking in to make sure everything is great/to congratulate me. Additionally, I received the pay I requested for hourly temp. When I went to full time, my rate wasn't what OT said it would be, but it was more than I was expecting based on current employees starting rates. I will recommend them to everyone I know looking for work in the future, not only because they got me this amazing position, but because they truly care about their employees happiness and place them in an environment they want to be in. read more

OfficeTeam is a great company! They were super easy to work with and helped connect me with different temp opportunities when I was in between work. The pay is pretty competitive and entire company seems to be very friendly and communicative. If you're looking for temp work, this is seriously one of the best agencies you can go with. Thanks Samantha, Julia, Kayla, Emily and the rest of the OfficeTeam! read more

I've waited a long time to write this, mostly because it makes me shudder to think about what I went through with this agency. I am *very* relieved to see that I'm not the only one who had a poor experience. Let me start out, like many other reviewers, by conceding that I had high hopes at the start of my time with OfficeTeam's Westwood office. Specifically, I greatly enjoyed working with Emily Corken (who's since been promoted, I believe), because she was the one staff member who initially exuded authentic concern when I started looking for jobs. I did well on the software tests and stated at the beginning that I wanted to find a permanent position in entertainment. OfficeTeam made it sound like my goal would not be a problem for someone like myself who had a bachelor's degree and previous admin work under my belt. I found all of the other staff members (including the receptionist) disingenuous and/or two-faced. If I hadn't been so desperate that summer (I had just returned home from a long backpacking trip and needed to start working immediately), I would have probably passed and kept looking via other agencies -- or directly applied to full-time jobs the normal way. Unfortunately, I think I was a prime target for OfficeTeam: since they underpay and demonstrate lackluster communication (on a good day), desperate job-seekers make their sad mediocrity easy. As others have said, I realized quickly that to OfficeTeam I was merely a means to an end instead of an actual person. The first 8 months wherein I was an active "candidate" went rather well in that I didn't go a day without work, but none of my "temp to perm" jobs ever became permanent. My first temp assignment was a toxic, hellish position that overworked and underpaid me in ways that -- once again -- I wouldn't have tolerated had I not been in a rocky period of life. That first assignment lasted about 3 months, and it was clear that the client company did NOT intend to hire someone as a permanent employee. I was so stressed having to work 2-3 peoples' worth of job duties in a petty environment that felt like high school! (It's important to note that, although client companies pay through the nose for temps, they *save* a lot of money because they don't have to worry about paying a temporary employee benefits or a livable salary...so, in my opinion, the client companies that take offense to the idea of permanently hiring someone are just as malicious as OfficeTeam's empty promises.) Also, none of my assignments were at legit entertainment companies because they just don't have a decent client pool to choose from. I WONDER WHY THAT IS. It was glaringly obvious to me that there was a common denominator between the companies for whom I worked: they were all unprofessional, disturbing, questionably managed/staffed, and seemed to treat people like robots or dirt. I was so preoccupied with trying to pay my rent and bills that I didn't have much time to search for jobs directly, and the "assignments" I was given were never supposed to reap long-term success. Everyone at OfficeTeam and "client companies" seems to be in on this, but naive/willing job-seekers don't have the time or money (or ability) to walk away. Long(er) story short, after I left my last assignment months later and tried to follow-up, OfficeTeam never gave me the time of day again. OVERNIGHT, I went from having a working rapport with OfficeTeam's staff to being turned away and even scolded when I called. They had gotten their fill of commission and wiped their hands of me when they were done. I was and am appalled by their cold unprofessionalism. I had to scramble and sign with a few more agencies at that point because I couldn't make ends meet and they had strung me along. I don't know what kind of shit goes on behind the scenes in their very shiny and corporate office, but it's amazing to me that they shuffle in/out a bunch of qualified job seekers as if they're pieces of livestock. People are fucking struggling to get by even if they went to college! Shouldn't that matter to a place that claims to want to place people in jobs? It took me a while to get back on my feet, but I eventually did by directly applying and getting hired by a law firm. I am so sorry to everyone who has gotten massively screwed by OfficeTeam and other monstrous "job agencies." I would be willing to start a forum or get coffee and establish new friend/support groups with people who've suffered through similar stuff, haha. What a joke.
