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!

From start to finish, working with Lisa Chew was outstanding. She connected me to my firm, where I…read morehave been enjoying working for about a month now. Through interviewing, Lisa was able to understand and align my values with my current company. Lisa ensured that all of my concerns or questions were addressed and always responded in a timely and professional manner. Thank you Lisa and Chicago Hire team for all your help. I would highly recommend this group if you are ever in need of finding work.

I have had such a pleasant experience with this agency so far! My daughter is 2 now and has been…read morewith this agency since she was an infant. They are so nice there and very reputable. The kids agents are super helpful and go through everything with you, answering any questions. They are no pressure and advise you to go home and think about things before you sign with them. They have so much work going through that agency. My daughter goes out regularly for castings with them and they remember you when you talk to them on the phone. It's a nice personal touch. They let us know right away when they are running low on photos or to update her work permit, or anything else. My first time there, my daughter was probably 6 months old and the agent let me change her diaper right there. Unfortunately my daughter started crying like crazy but her agent came right over and started playing with her again and my daughter stopped crying. Such a great group of folks there. I definitely recommend them to anyone.

Wunderland has changed the game and my perspective. They're extremely thorough from start to finish with every opportunity. They constantly check up on me and every person that I talk to genuinely cares. When I went to the office, everyone introduced themselves to me, shook my hand and expressed their excitement to work with me. It's definitely something you don't experience anywhere else. They really do work hard for you and make sure you're happy. I landed a gig a mere week after our initial meeting. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a new position.

They told me they would look out for jobs that fit my criteria, and within days I had an interview lined up with a company that was a great fit for me. I ended up having two wonderful employment experiences that came directly from Wunderland. The second job turned into a full time position at a company that I LOVE. I am so thankful for my experience with WunderLand. It's so hard getting a foot in the door at a company where you have no ties, but WunderLand makes it possible. Thank you!

The agency is right off the train stop just a few blocks up off uci/ of the blue line. It's on the 4th floor and it was very beautiful! I'd love to get signed out here by them so I can come back more often and kill it. I already know I got the juice.

I've read the reviews, and most of the reviewers are non-members or members that never were active…read more I've spoken to make professional associations, and I have to say that many use similar tactics. My greatest critique is that the membership fees should be posted and more transparent. That being said, they do provide services, and opportunities for networking, professional development, and leadership through the organization. I've been impressed with the women I've met through the organization and the leadership in the National Capital Region. An organization is as good as its membership, and I can say this is an organization that I've derived some benefit from. So for those reading these review, please consider the perspectives of the reviewers. And to NAPW, I hope you'll change you're registration processes because it's creating a lot of bad press!

We were able to get photos taken with Annie who was very sweet and professional. While we weren't signed with the Rock, they were very kind and gave us some good suggestions and direction. I would definitely recommend them for people looking for an agency. I can't speak for the value, but I would think that their expertise is invaluable! Overall it was a great experience!

My son went to an open casting call here, and I cannot say greater things about the experience…read more Laura was fantastic with the kids during the call. Very friendly, informative, and my son was extremely comfortable with Laura and the staff there. The atmosphere is very warm and welcoming. They are transparent and upfront with the experience and expectations. You get informed within two weeks if your child is selected-- they do adults, as well, but my experience is only with the talent (kid) side. The Rock Agency was extremely professional. Since my son was accepted to be represented, the staff has been awesome in terms of explaining the process, understanding the profession and field, setting clear expectations, and ensuring that parents are fully informed if their children are selected by the agency. My son is thoroughly looking forward to representing The Rock Agency and growing in his profession with The Rock's vast expertise and amazing staff!

Loren reached out to me after I decided to start sending cold resumes out to Chicago after being let go from my position in Florida, and she is now the reason I am sitting in the office of my dream company right now. I've never met a more enthusiastic & supportive recruiter in my life, and it's all thanks to the wonderful crew at 24Seven Chicago. I plan on letting all of my creative friends know about 24Seven should they be on the job hunt. Remember, it's up to you to make yourself stand out first!

Perhaps once a thriving recruitment agency, they've gone downhill - at least for the Chicago…read morebranch. With the last of their positive reviews being in 2014. The website contains outdated resources (2012-2014), advertises training options that don't exist after a telephone inquiry from the Chicago office, and an online job search and application system that takes away the human interaction between the potential job candidates and 24 Seven staff. It's not like days of the past where you can stop at a recruitment agency and hand in a resume - they won't even let you in the front door without an appointment. To get an appointment, you have apply through their online system and wait to see if they even want to interview you. I have over 10 years of professional experience and submitted for several of their online resources - even some of the jobs were re-published - but no call for even a "hey we would love to know more about you and what you can offer". I even called and their secretary was friendly, but even after submitting a resume directly to their email, no follow-up from them. I understand that the job market is tough, and I presume that many recruitment agencies are getting loaded with potential candidates, but a person who makes the time to conduct several inquiries should show some curiosity on the staff's part, In the end, you feel like a number and not a human being.
