I have hired multiple rock star domestic employees for my clients through The Grapevine Agency. Lori and Rachel are persistent when finding the best fit on all sides. They listen when communicating your needs and wants. They are SUPER accessible and truly take pride and care in making the best match. After many years working with them in the drivers seat, I recently stepped into the passenger side. I came to Lori when looking to make a switch in careers. We went through my work experience as well as my wants in my next job. I was particular on my needs and Lori took the time to hear it. We had candid conversations and I felt supported and looked out for every step of the way. I knew she had my best interest (as well as the interests of the client's looking). With her help, I've landed a great job I see myself in for the next several years. I'll continue to work with them! They are always my first stop when searching to fill a role. And they're the last because they deliver.

I'm so grateful for their guidance and for helping me land a role that I'm truly excited about. If you are looking for a recruiting team that is professional, kind, and exceptionally good at what they do, this is it.

If I could give this service 0 out of 5 stars, I would…read more First, I want to acknowledge how wonderful Naomi was when she helped place me in my first role. The second recruiter I worked with, Michelle, was also an absolute angel. She was supportive, kind, and communicative throughout the process, and I truly appreciated working with both of them. Unfortunately, my experience with the owner, Claudia, was the complete opposite. I have never in my life worked with someone as unprofessional as she was. To provide context, I was matched with two ultra high net worth clients through this company. Both individuals turned out to be extremely emotionally abusive. I have worked in the celebrity industry since I was 20 years old, and by the time I worked with these clients at age 31, I had never encountered behavior to that degree. While I understand that the company's priority is to place candidates and generate revenue, there should have been transparency about the individuals they were placing me with. In my experience, Claudia was only kind and engaged when a placement was made and the company was earning money. During my second placement, I gave a two week notice due to the increasingly toxic and emotionally abusive behavior I was experiencing from the client. One week into that notice period, the situation escalated further and I made the decision to leave the position early. I had previously been transparent with Michelle about my concerns and my desire to leave the role. At one point, the client contacted Claudia and shortly afterward Claudia left me a very aggressive voicemail referencing an NDA and accusing me of disclosing information about a previous employer. This accusation was completely unfounded. The previous client I worked for through this company was already listed on my resume, so there was nothing confidential about that information. I chose to respond by text message because I did not want to engage in a heated conversation when I knew I had done nothing wrong. Claudia's response to my message was simply a vomiting emoji. I found this reaction extremely unprofessional and inappropriate, especially given the circumstances I was dealing with at the time. The company and employer also made several accusations about my conduct. Ultimately, I provided the California EDD with substantial documentation covering the three month duration of my employment, including text messages, emails, and medical documentation. After reviewing the evidence, the judge ruled in my favor and granted unemployment benefits. It took me nearly two years to feel comfortable enough to write this review because of how stressful and traumatic the experience was. My hope is that no one else is placed into situations like this without transparency or support. I sincerely hope the company reflects on how candidates are treated moving forward.

I get it, the staff deals with a regular community that may need extra guidance and patience, which gets repetitive, but there is absolutely no excuse for the patronizing tone and ice cold atmosphere. If you can't deal with the extra guidance and patience then GET ANOTHER JOB, I'll take your job. I was recommended to look into this by someone and when I jumped on their website site Wednesday evening, I saw they had a "Transitional employment opportunities", which is what I am looking for. They had orientation on Thursday morning, so I went. A few minutes into it, I learned that the "Transitional employment opportunities" were for "very rare cases" and they required a lot of steps before they would even consider if you would fall into that very rare case. I have all the other tools already. And they make no exceptions on skipping any steps. I asked for my sign-up sheet back and instead of maybe asking why, I was no longer interested, I saw up the nose of the staff. Without a "Sorry"..."Wish you the best" or even a "Bye" Again, extremely rude staff. So on top of the extremely rude staff, if you already have a resume and were just looking for help with transitional employment opportunities - I recommended staying clear of here, not worth your time. If you go, orientation is a good couple of hours. And they take your picture. So plan ahead.

BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you end up using Michelle, it will ruin all other agencies for you…read more I am a professional career nanny. I have over seven years of nannying experience, five years of teaching experience, and more. I have a B/S in childhood development as well as my MAT. When I began my search for a nanny-family in LA, I did my due diligence by shopping around looking at multiple agencies. I found that Michelle had the TOP RATED AGENCY ON MULTIPLE SITES and wanted to take a closer look. I read through every. single. review. I thought to myself, "Really? Every single person had a positive experience with this agency? That's just not statistically possible if she's really working with this many people..." I decided to set up a meeting. I drove to her office where we met to discuss particulars (what I'm looking for, what families are in the market for a nanny right now, what ages/salary/commute/hours I'm looking for) and the moment she opened the door and greeted me with a giant smile and her upbeat, positive attitude, I felt like just working with HER was my perfect placement! Once we started the process, Michelle was completely professional while also refreshingly honest and realistic in her suggestions. She really took the time to get to know me and what I was looking for and she only suggested me to families that she knew had the potential to be a "love match!" After looking at a few potential matches, Michelle called me to tell me that she had "found my family!" She said, "This is the one. Please go for an interview and see for yourself." So I did. This is the part of the review where I'm going to get annoyingly emotional. Not only did the family and I immediately "click," but Michelle had made sure that all of our stats were in alignment. The age range, schedule, amount of hours, commuting time, pay rate, expectations and needs happened to all align with what I was looking for. It was LITERALLY the PERFECT PLACEMENT!!!! Coincidence? I think not. Michelle is highly intelligent, professional, personable, understanding, diligent, experienced, communicative, and pleasantly charismatic and I owe my job satisfaction directly to her. Now that I think about it, maybe I should send over a bottle of wine. Thank you, Michelle, for just being so incredibly good at what you do. As I mentioned earlier, when I started this process, I read through every one of your (5 star) reviews and thought, "There's just no way every single review can be five stars..." and now here I am adding one more.

I met Michelle at a time when I was at a low point in my nanny career and personal life. I had…read morebeen looking for top nanny position and had been on many interviews through other agencies. It seemed like I had landed a few dream jobs only for it to slip away from me. Really trying times. Then I met Michelle! This brings a smile to my face. Meeting with her felt like chatting with a friend. I realized after that this is her skill. She loves people and wants to represent both the families and the nannies. It was a slow period and she didn't have any job opportunities at the time when I signed up with her agency, the perfect placement. After being on the hunt for my top nanny job with a kind family for many months and it wasn't happening I was getting ready to move out of state. I mentioned to Michelle that I'm no longer looking for a position as it doesn't seem like it's going to happen. Michelle didn't give up on me. She called me with 2 opportunities. I went on both interviews and was called back to do a trial for the one that I wanted !! Yay !! Then Michelle negotiated some time off that I needed to take care of a health issue. The family was so wonderful they waited for me ! All I can say everything lined up perfectly. Michelle will always return your call in a timely manner and she always checks in to see how you're doing. I thank God I met Michelle !
