I met with Megan Cuddy on Wed before memorial weekend. She sent my resume to two employers. Even…read morebefore I got home, she called to tell me that both employers wanted to meet me and was i available for an interview the next day. She sent me the information on the job descriptions and I did a marathon preparation. The next day I went for interview #1 at 10am and I knew immediately I wanted to work there. I connected so well with the hiring manager that I felt like I had always known him. Even before 2nd interview, Megan called me to tell me that #1 is very interested to proceed to 2nd interview. In the meantime I had been interviewing with another employer and and right after these interviews I got a job offer. I however wanted to go to 2nd interview with job #1 so I told Megan about the offer. I went to 2nd interview the following Tuesday and again I connected amazingly well with the two people I met with. As I expected, I got a 2nd job offer from them on the same day and now I had a major decision to make. Megan helped me get my dream job. She negotiated the salary and although I felt slightly pressured to make a decision, I'm eternally grateful she steered me in the right direction. Basically Megan helped me get my dream job in less than a week. I had met with a couple other staffing companies but they didn't really have anything to offer me.

I have exposure to this search firm and worked with them successfully only time in a decade. Though…read morethe people there are very nice, they absolutely are not responsive and have a tendency to only call when they have you in mind specifically for a job that is especially difficult to fill and open for awhile. Instead of allowing candidates to consider multiple opportunities and discuss with the recruiter what would be a good fit for them and their goals, they have a tendency to act as though they are "using you" similar to a bad relationship. My last exposure to this company was with Teresa and it was positive at first, and the company I interviewed with actually wanted to hire me, but I knew it wasn't a fit. So then when I kept looking and reaching out, and Teresa ignored my emails because clearly I didn't take the job she needed to fill. That was unprofessional. P.S. I really dislike seeing companies try to give themselves a series of 5-star reviews, which the Yelp algorithm picks up as fake (because they are), and sieves them out to the "Not recommended reviews" tab at the bottom of the Yelp page.

She's great with communication, follows up and definitely doesn't make you feel forgotten when it comes to helping you look for work and finding the best match. I give Maureen a 10/10 and would like to thank her for being so supportive and understanding. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs help in their job search, Keep up the great work Maureen!!! Thanks, Sheila

She has secured me my best assignments over the last few years. She never puts me in a box, but instead, sees the transferability of my skills and because of that, has gotten me some great gigs which have expanded my HR portfolio quite nicely. She has really extended the effort to get to know me and clearly values building a long-term relationship, versus just filling the positions that are currently on her desk. I have the highest respect for Maureen and her professional abilities and results.

Two representatives have done a very nice job in assisting me. They actually communicate with one another about opportunities and about my strengths and preferences. Both have been very personable without being pushy and have been great about communicating. Another skill they possess is an ability to communicate well with their clients. The people with whom I have interviewed seem to genuinely like working with them and there appears to be a open stream of discussion back and forth about needs, strengths and where the hiring process is progressing. When the deal is closed my rep arranged to meet me at a place convenient to both of us to go over the paperwork. That paperwork was actually well organized, clear and professional in appearance -- not a pile of over-photocopied papers. It was a nice touch. I am curious about the experiences of other H.R. folks who have used them as headhunters appear to generate quite expressive reviews...

I've now been with my company for 3 years. I LOVE my job/career! If it was not for this agency and their connections, I would have never found this perfect fit! Be patient, work hard, be RELIABLE, and they will work with you to find exactly what you are looking for. It takes time. Show them that you WANT THIS and believe me, they will eventually find it for you! It takes two to tango. I highly recommend this agency and would definitely use them again if I am ever looking to change fields!

Eventually they came to me with a position that seemed really great for where I was in my professional journey. We set up an interview, they gave me a quick prep interview and I felt decently prepared. At first, the assignment had decided to move on with another candidate, and Contemporaries offered me a new assignment almost immediately. Before we could make any moves on that position, I got an offer from the original position! So far, I love the position, and I hope to be permanent at the end of this assignment. Without Contemporaries I'd still be looking on Indeed so I am very grateful.

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
