They just don't follow up with people. The people in charge are so bad at their jobs that they…read moredon't understand that we're not dependent on them as much as THEY are dependent on the goodwill and personal endorsements of the people they manage and recruit. Nothing but dead air lately from The Smart Dept. I worked a job for them a while back and they did NOT have my back when the situation fell apart. They privately told me they were on my side and understood what my issues were with the client, but they did nothing to earn the money they robbed from me. This is a garbage company. Even something as basic as the lack of a search option on their website that would allow an applicant to search for local jobs, jobs in their field, or remote work has not been made available to applicants, which shows how out of touch and dumb this "smart" department really is. EDIT: Weeks have gone by without so much as an email telling me they've received any of my applications. They're on my block list now. I suspect the positive reviews here have come from employees of Smart Dept itself, or other plants and familiars.

Working with the Smartdept has been great. To begin with, they stay in touch. Often, creative…read morestaffing agencies forget about you or don't respond at all. Even though Smartdept is a small agency, I'd rate them as one of the better creative staffing agencies in the Seattle area. I'm registered with at least six of them. I regularly get work from only three and Smartdept is one of them. If you're looking for freelance work, give them a call. It can't hurt.

I cannot overemphasize the quality, professionalism and attentiveness of The Chicago Hire Company…read more Within days of submitting my application they connected me with several companies with whom I got interviews. Before each interview, they sent me a very thorough prep-sheet. They spent a lot of time on the phone with me getting to know my preferences and career goals. They made contact with me before and after every interview to provide guidance and process the experience. I know they are super busy, but it felt like I was their only client. Also, there was a sense of fun about working with them! I'd utilized three other recruiting agencies before I found them and I'd come to expect poor service and constant checking in to remind them to work for you. My experience at The Chicago Hire Company was completely different. They are excellent and I can't recommend them enough!

I would highly recommend this group if you are ever in need of finding work.

Jon Heise is one of the best recruiters I've ever worked with. He's transparent, and asks clear and…read moreconcise questions to identify what you truly need and how he can help you best. You get honesty with him and its refreshing. He's got a great attitude and my personal recommendation is to let him know the full detail of your current situation with other job interviews. Keep him in the loop because he helped me immensely at following up with his client (now current employer) and going to bat for me when he knows timing was potentially becoming an issue elsewhere. He's one of those individuals that generally likes what they do, puts in the work and makes the process look good. I'd work with Jon again anytime in the future.

I'll be the first to admit--I was skeptical of recruiters. After running into so many that didn't…read moreseem to have my best interests at heart, I wasn't sure working with one would lead anywhere meaningful. But Emily Cullen at The Larko Group completely changed that perception. After having a baby, I wasn't actively planning to return to work and was hesitant about re-entering the workforce with a gap in my work history. But Emily saw potential in me that I hadn't yet recognized in myself. She connected me with an opportunity at a medical device manufacturing startup in an operations and administrative role. Following the company's acquisition in 2024, I stayed on--what began as a leap of faith ultimately became the catalyst for a long-term career path. Since then, I've grown into a mid-level corporate role with exciting opportunities ahead in the medical device and technology industry. I'm incredibly grateful to Emily Cullen and The Larko Group for helping me take such a major step forward. If you're hesitant about working with recruiters, just know there are genuine professionals out there--and Emily is one of them. Great value and while it takes effort to apply and evalutate your skill and experience the return on your investment is high. I can't recommend her and The Larko Group enough!

Amy was very persistent with the search. She arranged several quality interviews, and Russ helped prepare me for those interviews. Andrea and Julie went above and beyond as well.

Scott contacted me with an opportunity he thought would be a perfect for me. After learning more…read moreabout my wants and desires in an employer, he informed me about the company he was recruiting for. Scott took his time explaining what the position entailed and answered my questions. He did such a good job nailing the best aspects of the company I couldn't wait to get on with the interview processes. Once we got the ball rolling and the preliminary conversations out of the way, Scott brought in his manager Chris, and together they stuck by me every step of the way. They tag teamed to keep me informed of where the employer was in the interview process and next steps. Two key points I took away from the experience... 1). before every interview with the employer, Scott set up a meeting between himself, Chris and myself to make sure I was prepared. Chris provide interview tips and answered last minute questions. They provided the website for the company I was interviewing for and a little bit of information on the individuals conducting the interview so I wasn't going in blind (this really helped with tailoring questions). 2). after the interview they checked in to see how things went. Scott and Chris were knowledgeable, professional, courteous, encouraging, easy to work with, and eager to assist me in securing the position. If I ever have need for recruitment in the future I will definitely want to work with Scott and Chris, and I will definitely recommend CultureFit to friends.

Enter CultureFit (found me on LinkedIn when I set my status to 'open to work) and my view of recruiting is forever changed. Sherita made sure to provide me with full disclosure on anything that someone might consider a dealbreaker straight away and was fully knowledgeable about my endless questions. I felt really good about the interview, because I was qualified for the position and the company I was paired with was exactly what I wanted (without even realizing I wanted it!). Sherita reached out to me on LinkedIn and called/texted me with every information I needed to succeed, going above and beyond with fast responses and honest answers. I would absolutely recommend culture fit to a friend, or to any company who is looking for someone to assist in the hiring process. I was not asked to write this review, I asked if I could leave a nice comment because I am just that pleased with my new position.

If I could give NBSG 10 stars, I would! I can't say enough about this team!…read more After a company downsize a few years ago, I found myself unemployed and unsure about what to do. Fortunately, I used North Bridge to bring in temps for vacation coverage while at my previous position, so they were (naturally) the first place I called. Man, that was the BEST call to have made! Since that time, I have worked with Erin, Gerri and a few others for several years, filling many long-term temporary positions. I discovered early on that I didn't want to commit myself completely to another large company; I fell in love with the consistent positions that I was able to find in their opportunities. I have been able to diversify my portfolio of industries, ramp up my skills and hone in on the positions/roles that I excel in. Erin and Gerri took the time to truly get to know me, my personality, skills and my desires and they have been able to connect me with so many great opportunities. All of my recent personal development is 100% due to their amazing time with me and finding positions that match my needs/skills. I wish that they had an office in California so I could continue working with them. If I was not moving, I would continue to work with them. If you are not sure of where/what you want to work with, temp positions are perfect for you. North Bridge is the perfect place to start your journey. Thank you Erin, Gerri and the full NBSG team!

When Northbridge…read morefirst reached out to me, I had recently left a horrible agency and did not have high hopes for finding a new assignment so soon. But from my first interview with Erin, she has been able to consistently find job assignments and keep me working throughout the year. Usually, once you hand in your resume to an agency, you never hear from them again or don't hear from them for awhile. That was not the case with Erin. She is great with maintaining communication with me about every single job offer I qualify for. I recommend Northbridge to all of my family members and friends who are looking for work.
