I wanted to have hope with this agency as it says on their website that they are minority owned. I wouldn't recommend anyone come here if you're looking for work. The recruiters never answer their phones or respond to emails. I went in for an interview, did testing (and scored well above average) and then heard absolutely nothing from then on. I tried getting in contact for about two weeks. The receptionist always says the recruiter is on the phone and gets my contact info to pass on. Guess it never gets passed on. I gave up after they disappeared into thin air. read more

I am really shocked at these reviews! Yes, there was only one person working when I came to get interviewed at Team One but Karla was amazing. I was placed that same week and now I am about to officially be hired permanently at my place of work, The salary I am making is the most I have ever made in my life and I am beyond happy with my experience. I had seen 5 other employees find work at my same place of business recruited from Team One and we are still looking for more employees. I would suggest really listening to what Karla has to say about your resume. To stay on the ball when it comes to answering your emails, texts, phone calls because many people are after the same positions and you really have to be quick to succeed and land a spot. I had absolutely NO trouble at all and only went to the office once and was working the next day! You also need to take in to account the way you look and act when you come in to interview with Karla. Be honest about what you are looking for but be professional. Wear a suit, have a resume handy, follow the instructions for signing up online and printing your packet that she sends via email. I also love the fact that I get medical insurance right away with Team One. I had not been able to see a doctor in years and I just saw a dentist and a dermatologist! As long as you are working every week you have the option of getting group insurance and that alone is amazing. I highly recommend Team One. As as matter of fact I just sent someone there! read more

If I could give this company no stars I would. Their huge office has one person working in it. Karla. I called to follow up and was told that she (the rep) was busy with something else and I that she would get around to sending me tests when she was done. I would think if you needed employees you would be trying to get them as quickly as possible. I guess not. Bottom line like the other reviews said, this place is run by one woman who claims that the rest of the staff are out while she's working. There is no one else working and you probably won't be called to work either. I'm still waiting on the assessments I was supposed to be emailed two weeks ago. Not impressed. Wonder if their clients are as wack as they are. read more

This place is just so poorly run it's sad. I feel bad for Karla, who is essentially a one-woman show at their office in West L.A. I'd like to blame the whole thing on her, but I think the reality is that Team One has no other staff members coordinating applicants. I came in dressed in my business attire after setting up an appointment, and had a very brief discussion with Karla regarding my past experience. She then emailed me a series of proficiency tests, which I completed that same day. A week goes by, and I call her up. She tells me she'll call me back, without even asking about who I was or acknowledging the tests. A month goes by, and nothing. I sought employment elsewhere. I get a call from Karla 'hi, can you work today?" ....are you serious? I understand she's swamped with probably hundreds of employees, but where was her tracking system, and how could she possibly expect me to drop everything and work...today? How about, did you find another job? I'm so sorry to bash Karla, but she is so terribly unorganized. read more

This employment agency is misleading and awful to work with. If you have a college degree and aspire to make more than minimum wage --- this place is a WASTE OF TIME because they don't have any real jobs or opportunities available. Karla is a nice person and I feel bad for her; she is a one-woman show with no staff, management or leadership support. Employment Agencies are a dime a dozen (especially in LA), don't waste your time with Team One. read more

Katie was great--she found a job for me asap. She is super sweet and SUPER helpful. She went over my resume and helped me edit it--I was so thankful for that. The position I worked for TeamOne was only one day, but it shows that TeamOne is promising and I am hoping for more opportunities to come from them! read more

I'm pretty hesitant about recruiting firms. But after interviewing with Katie. She found me a temp job the next day. She's giving me pointers on refining my resume. And has talked to me about a couple permanent jobs. read more

Katie was nothing short of amazing. I interviewed with her this afternoon. She was professional, personable and extremely helpful. She gave me great tips on how to improve my resume! Thank you so much Katie! read more

I'm a student currently attending college and I needed a part-time job. I found this agency online and sent my resume. I got a call-back within 20 min!! Karla (recruiter) called me back and said she had a job position open for me if I could bring my paperwork and come in for an interview. I did so and I got the job after a 30 min interview. (Keep in mind this was in May of 2013- so I don't know why there's bad reviews about getting called back) Karla is so easy to talk to. Her positive attitude is contagious. Even over the phone you can tell she's smiling. She's one of the best supervisor/boss I have ever had. If I ever have a problem with one of my assignments I know I can call her and she will do everything she can to fix it and make sure I'm happy where I'm working. You make more than minimum wage here. Of course it depends on the assignment you get but you always have an option of taking it or leaving it. I like working with TeamOne because they work around my schedule. They always have NEW clients and are in need of workers. Also, they have direct deposit, health insurance, and WEEKLY pay $$$ Yes its true that sometimes it was like Karla was a one-woman show but I know she hired Dania and they seem to make a good team. :) TeamOne Staffing Specialists are awesome. Best employment agency I have ever worked with. I am happy to state that I have been working with them for over a year already. read more

Katie was incredibly helpful providing feedback on my resume. Her advice was excellent. She also exhibited a caring and compassionate approach to the interview process. Additionally, she had an impressive insight into the hiring process. Katie was very warm and receptive. Her honest approach coupled with her energetic personality made the interview extremely pleasant and informative. It was truly a blast interviewing with her. I would highly recommend interviewing with Katie at TeamOne to any job seeker! read more

January 18, 2014 Karla Tomas 10801 National Blvd., Suite #104 Los Angeles, CA 90064 Tel: 310.481.4489 Fax: 310.481.7900 Email: karla@teamone.la Re: Letter of recommendation To Whom It May Concern: I have worked with Ms. Tomas for the past year through the course of assignments with Team One Employment Services and through my experience Ms. Tomas has been an absolute pleasure to work with. Ms. Tomas takes the initiative for dedication, support, and project satisfaction to excelled level. It is because of Ms. Tomas that I had discovered a wonderful opportunity to work with a prestige league of professionals in which to this day I have maintained a wonderful communication relationship. I consider Ms. Tomas to be a dedicated, hard-working, witty, intelligent, and a great sense-of-humor employee of Team One. There is no one else I would consider working for other than her with the firm. Ms. Tomas explains every assignment in detail and with great passion, and oversees the client/employee satisfaction which is truly an asset. This letter is being presented to you today in regards to Ms. Tomas, a wonderful person who enjoys her work and goes the extra mile for us employees of Team One. Thank you for your time and consideration of this letter. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. Respectfully, Natalie Innabi read more

Apparently they have moved to a new office on National Blvd. near the 10 freeway. When did it become OK to text when you are sitting with a potential candidate? When did it become OK to have the receptionist interrupt the potential candidate's interview to say that vitamins and fish oil caps fell out into her purse and now her purse smells bad? When is it OK to interview another potential candidate in your office with the door open so everyone can hear the discussion? What happened to professionalism? It died and I did not get the memo! This temp agency lacks professionalism. I wasted my morning and $6.50 for parking because they do not validate and the parking structure only takes cash! This place was more like Team NOT! read more

This temp agency is one of the worst I have gone too. I signed up over a month ago and they do not respond to any of my calls or emails. DO NOT SIGN UP with this agency they will do nothing to help you find a job. read more

Team One LA is a true example of an excellent and consistent company. I worked with Derek Ballew and he found me a direct hire position within a month! What I liked most was his interview coaching and preparation. He also helped me revise my resume, cover letter and showed me how to convey my best qualities to the employer in the interview. Im now about to begin a career not just a job and I give thanks to Derek Ballew. read more

The BEST Agency EVER! I have been using agencies for more than 10yrs across the country and Derek Ballew and his office is by far the best experince i ever had. The quality of the job placements and proffesionalism is very outstanding i cant thank you all enough. I would recommend you give your time to this agency you will be pleased if you apply your self they will place you. read more

There should be qualifications to run an employment agency. All they got is catching website and aside from that is non-existence. I wasted my time driving to their office for interview but never even got any follow up email or call. So I called and all I got is nothing right now. Not even trying to or even mention a company name might be a good fit. NADA!!!! Dont waste your time on this place and Karla is not even their to find you a job. All she got is taking applications.... Sure enough your ratings reflect the kind of service you deliver! read more

This staffing agency has been Great! I got a call to interview and the next day had an assignment. All thanks to the professional and knowledgeable Derek for his assistance and patience. Every time I've had a concern he's hasn't hesitated to answer a call or an email. His vibrant personality makes the interactions comfortable. Thanks for all your hard work Derek. read more

To say that the experience here was disappointing is an understatement. I was pleased at first to have a face-to-face interview with a friendly Senior Recruiter. It was a comprehensive interview and skills tests followed. I felt that I was on a good path to temporary and then permanent employment. I never heard from them again other than an email response to a question early on. They never returned calls however I had been assured they would be contacting me. Weeks passed. After I left the area, I emailed to ask if there was something I should avoid doing now that I am seeking employment again. How insulting to receive an email back with two job opportunities and no answer to my question. I have a feeling that they have a very small job pool to choose from but they won't tell you that. This is a waste of time. Don't pin any job hopes here. read more

Karla is very rude! I called today for details on registering. First of all she was speaking so fast to the point where she was slurring. She tried giving me her email address and because I was not understanding her slurring words, she began to yell at me! It felt like i was a scolded child. When i repeated her email address to her I added .com! She completely lost control, it sounded like a breakdown, she continually yelled, "DID I SAY .COM!!!!!!" I was scared to reply but I finally answered, "Yes". Then she yelled again, "I NEVER SAID THAT, WHEN DID I SAY THAT?!!!!!!! After reading the reviews I understand. Honestly I feel bad for her. I finally told her "you know what Karla have a wonderful day" and hung up. I guess I wont be registering with them after all. read more

Karla is very helpful and friendly. I think they need more personnel in their office because during my interview I got interrupted by phone calls every two minutes. However, she shows a genuine desire to help. Make sure you hug your phone. If they call you for a job and you don't answer they give it to someone else. It happened to me and it is extremely frustrating. She also mentioned that most of the agency's clients are in The Valley or in Downtown, so keep this in mind if you are not willing to do the commute. I do have a friend who found a permanent position at a great company thanks to this agency and she was the one who recommended it. It's been two weeks since I missed the call and she hasn't called back with another opportunity. If I get a job with them, I'll update this review. They test for proficiency in Power Point, Word, Excel, and Outlook, and typing and they offer tutorials before the test to refresh your skills. read more

Before I actually met in person with Katie at TeamOne, she had already given me some great resume tips and insight into what recruiters are seeking with respect to a candidate's skillset. When I met with her, she was enthusiastic and knowledgeable and shared some great information about increasing my chances of finding a job. TeamOne is lucky to have her. The reason for the 3-star review is because I have not yet been sent on an interview or placed in a job. read more

Love, love, love Karla! I worked two jobs before getting placed permanently at the second one. As far as her being a one women show, she is! Karla backs her temps and I really like that. Yes be on time, dress for the position and be patient. Over all I own Ms. K alot, Thank you! read more

I'm very impressed with TeamOne Staffing. Dania assisted me with my resume, and offered many suggestions for a successful interview. Not only was she thorough and extremely knowledgable, Dania had great energy and showed a major willingness to set me up on the right path. Within a week, I was offered a job with career opportunities. I highly recommend TeamOne. read more

I highly recommend Team One for anyone looking to get a new job. They responded to me right away, helped me through the whole process of interviewing and I landed a temp job in a week. I am now making more money and I am on my way to a new career. Thank you!!! read more

Team one was great in assisting me to find a new job! I felt as if they gave me personal assistance and attention. I would definitely recommend them to anyone in search of their perfect job. read more

I have been in contact with Karla my recruiter and I have to say she is such a joy to work with. Karla is always a pleasure to speak to. The first day I walked in to interview with her, she put me at ease and gave me a sense of relief that now I am not alone in my search for employment. I highly recommend calling TeamOne. read more

Unprofessional Staffing Agency! 4 empty offices in the company. 1 woman is running the entire office. She is on the phone juggling many things at once and you sit there being ignored while your interview time is supposed to take place. Very rude to have an appointment time and constantly have this lady run to grab a phone or finish up her email to another client. They are so cheap to not hire more people in their office and have only her run it. She sends me to an assignment telling me it was "temp to perm". I get there yesterday and the client tells me "No sorry it's on a day to day need basis. We told Karla that". Karla even emailed me telling me it was "temp to perm" position. She basically lied to me to fill the position to get her commission. That's what you get when you have 1 woman running the entire office. Mistakes will be made. Don't waste your time with this unprofessional agency! read more

Bad service. I got a phone call to come in for an interview. But before I had to do that, I had to take several tests online. After completing a long application process and the test, I went in for an interview. The interview was less than 10 minuntes. The few basic questions were "What is your strengths/weakness" and "Tell me about yourself." After two months, I have not heard a single word from them again. I've met better staffing employment services. Never answer back to my emails in regards if there is even any jobs related to my field. GOOD LUCK to those who applied and waste your time. read more

Team one appears to be a good temp agencey for entry level positions in administrative jobs. The company has a real polished look from the appearance of its website and office. Team One staff member Karla is a one-woman show. She was quick to field phone calls and answer emails. However upon arrival she was still multitasking during interviews. She wavered between giving basic advice on professionalism to young women interested in work and giving her attention to callers. If your looking to get connected to temp-to-hire or direct hire work, this company maybe one of a few you look into. I would recommend putting in an application because it's easy to do. But, it would be advisable to keep looking for work and to apply to other agencies. read more

I'm sorry that so many people had a bad experience. I was looking for a job for 6 months and had no leads. Finally I sent my resume to Team One and was called back for an interview immediately. Like the rest of you I found myself in a big office with only one person running the show - Karla. She was very warm and personable. I dread interviews! She asked me what I was looking for and said that she would find me something. She didn't disappoint - within a few days she called me to start at a temp to hire job. I worked there for 4 months and then they hired me as a permanent employee. I have a great job that pays well and I have Karla to thank for that. read more

I have worked for TeamOne on a few different projects over the past year. I would have not signed up for a temp service, after having a negative experience working for one while I went to college in Washington State, however, I came to apply for a specific temporary position that was listed in Craigslist and it was being staffed by TeamOne. In addition to that job, I have been called by Karla for a few other great projects and am very grateful! I would not recommend working for any temp service as a sole means of income, but in my situation (I travel a lot), the temp jobs I received from TeamOne came at the perfect time and helped me to stay afloat in LA while I was between traveling jobs. read more
