When I was unemployed for over a year after losing my well paying corporate job due to COVID, I was depressed. I applied for 20-50 jobs every week. Made it to 4th and 5th round interviews, and applied to things I was under, exactly and over qualified for. Depression turned to despair and other staffing agencies I had reached out to from the start couldn't find anything or things never worked out. When I contacted A-List, they were so friendly, professional and optimistic. They took time to listen and carefully considered the job descriptions that I was looking for. I got matched pretty quickly with a temporary position that I really enjoyed. Then again in January of 2022, they matched me to the place I am still working at. I love this job and will be hired on full time very soon. They couldn't have matched me with a more perfect job! It's work that is in a new industry to me, but it's only growing and I'm learning so much! They also stay in contact regularly. I highly recommend them! Ask for Cory or Jen-they're the best!! read more

I've been in contact with several advisers since last year. They aren't helpful at all. They will not call you or email you with job opportunities. You have to keep calling them and get told the same lie"we don't have anything at the moment." I don't believe they submit you for any job that they say they will submit you to. They never give you any feedback or updates from the client. read more

Very quick and easy process. Interviewed with them and then they found me a job based on my experience and interests. Most of that happened same day! These guys are great, I strongly recommend Storm and Alayna! Wonderful team. read more

I spoke with Tricia today which was a HORRIBLE mistake. She asked me what type of work I'm looking for and then proceeded to tell me what it is that I want, instead of taking note of what I'm looking for. She interrupted me continuously and had a horrible attitude. I asked to speak to someone above her and she said that "there is no one above her". Horrible first encounter with this employee! Edit: This employee called me back seconds after this review went up to argue. I asked the purpose of her 2nd call 4 times to which she didn't answer. read more

The team at A List were amazing during my whole job search. They are very friendly and proactive. I would definitely recommend anyone looking for a job to contact them, they will help you! I'm only sad I won't get to chat with them anymore! Thanks a ton A List!!!!!!!!! Y'all are THE best. read more

Trisha, Sara and all of the rest are top notch!!!! Love, Love, Love The A List staffing Team!!!! Thank you read more

Reached out for help upon moving to Austin and they never returned my messages. No help whatsoever. If you must deal with this group, be prepared to bug them. Decent professionalism, but no action. Communication is key. read more

I relocated to Austin in June 2019 and walked through the doors of The A List shortly thereafter and am so incredibly glad that I did. I have found every member of the staff to be friendly, thorough, organized and professional. They have consistently kept me gainfully employed when I am available, and what's more, they genuinely seem like they care. I recommend The A List 100%. read more

I was sent on an interview by this company and waited over a week to get a response. I finally had to email them to find out they'd hired someone else without telling me. Very unprofessional. UPDATE: I received a call from A-List and an apology. She asked me again what happened. She said she would follow up on her end and that they pride themselves on their communication. That was my last contact with them read more

When I moved to Austin in 2015, I applied to many staffing firms and heard back from even fewer, but the one firm that believed in me was A List Staffing. They were professional and courteous from the very beginning. They understood my needs and met them all within a short amount of time. They placed me at two client sites, one of which turned out to be my full time job where I am headed to become an industry leader in my field and all thanks to the time and dedication that the A List Team invested in me. I am forever grateful and will tell anyone who is looking for work to go straight to A List Staffing. They are the best firm in town! Thanks again A List Staffing!!!! read more

Had a last minute request (literally last minute at 3 minutes until 5pm) and they were able to fill my request for the next day. The employee they sent was prompt and courteous. I will definitely contact them for any upcoming staffing read more

Returned A Call Back That I Received From This Company After Submitting My Resume To One Of The Positions They Had Posted On Their Website The Employee I Spoke To Was Very Rude And Condescending To Say The Least. She Basically Tried To Tell Me It Was A Misdial And They Did Not Call Me I Don't Mind That But It's Not Always What You Say It's How You Say It. She Tried To Speak Over Me And Try To Talk Down To Me As If I'm Not College Educated. Glad It Was A "Misdial" I Would Never Want To Work For A Company With Such Poor People Skills I Suggest To The Young Lady I Spoke To To Find A New Career You Don't Value Your Job And I Suggest To The This Agency Heavy Retraining Cause It's Seems Like I'm Not The Only One That Has A Issue With Your Not So Friendly Staff read more

The A List Staffing - Employment Agencies Near Me - Austin, Texas

Thank you so much A-list Staffing for landing me a dream job that aligns perfectly with my interest in environmental non-profit organizations. During my interview, I met with Dolores and she was very professional and genuinely cared about helping me with my career. She introduced me to the entire office and all of the recruiters respectively stood up to greet me. After being laid off from my last position and unemployed for two months, this act of kindness and respect meant a lot to me and will never forget how acknowledged I felt at that moment. All of the recruiters such as Elka, Lisa and Dolores worked diligently at matching me up with assignments right away. My first assignment I received a phone call in the morning and went in that day and worked the rest of the week. I expressed that the position I was seeking entailed more of an Executive Assistant position and within a few days, they found my dream job. I am now working for an organization that I absolutely love and the relationship with my coworkers is synergetic. I not only am passionate about the work that this organization is doing, this position aligns perfectly with my own non-profit that A-List staffing cared enough to ask me about. A-List Staffing goes above and beyond to match qualified candidates with quality organizations and high caliber companies. I am beyond grateful that I was given this opportunity to utilize my skills and professional background. I have already learned so much in the past few weeks and look forward to growing with this organization thanks to A-List Staffing! read more

Don't depend on A List to find you a job. Even if you found a job through them that lasts, say, months. Don't depend on them to help you land another job. It seems like temps run in and out of fashion - dependability to their workers doesn't exist. They don't negotiate salary (which typically runs around $12 - $13). No men work there. Imagine an alternate universe where every sentence you utter to a recruiter has the power to get you fired/ black listed (no matter how awesome your work history was with them). Anyway - that's A-list in a nutshell. read more

The A List Staffing - Employment Agencies Near Me - Austin, Texas

I accepted a full time position Friday and just wanted to thank you for your excellent service. I appreciate the way Megan Kelly and the others quickly grasped my capabilities and experience and presented me with attractive job opportunities. Although I didn't secure a full-time position through the A List Staffing, the temp work you secured for me was rewarding. It is obvious that you invest the time and energy to thoroughly understand your employers and candidates so that you can make strong matches. Additionally, your client and customer service is top notch, and I highly recommend you and your team. read more

I was a long term contractor for 2 years and my job went from remote to all the way down town or I couldn't work there, Lisa and Nicole got me on with a great company that's about a 7 minute drive. I got hired permanent and am so grateful. read more

They were great! The person who I primarily worked with, Lisa Marie, was amazing. She had a great attitude, and was able to find me an assignment the day that I interviewed with A-List. I had my interview with her on Wednesday, my interview with my assignment on Thursday and started my first day that next Monday. I tried looking for work on my own for about 1-month and had very delayed and sporadic responses from employers. This is definitely the way to go! My ONLY issue was that no one answered my emails... ever. I think I received one response back and I sent emails at least 4-5 times. On the opposite token, they will always answer the phone! Literally, they have someone on call 24 hours. And everyone was always very pleasant every single time. I owe this career to them! Thank you A-list!!!!!!! read more

I am an employer with a busy office environment. A List Staffing has provided me with great temporary employees when my current staff has been sick, on vacation or quit. I've been VERY happy with every employee they have sent. read more

I went into The A-List because my former job started to cut hours on my schedule. I knew that I could not live on 16 hour work weeks so I had already started the job hunt but then I remembered Yelp. They led me to The A-List and that is where I met Steffanie Ngo-Hatchie and Meg Burkly. Meg was my assigned contact at the A-List but she was interviewing another person when I arrived. Steffanie was more than happy to take over the interview process. I told Steffanie exactly what I was looking for in a new job and what my current circumstances were regarding my old (current at the time) job. Steffanie was very thorough on the questions asked and what I was really looking for. Meg was very kind and just as thorough as Steffanie when Meg had a moment to followup. They found me a job and I must say that I am loving the new job. Thanks Meg and Steffanie! To give someone my personal experience in a timeline: March 20, 2013 - Met Meg over the phone March 21, 2013 - Met Steffanie at The A-List office (instead of Meg) March 26, 2013 - Received an email from Meg regarding a potential position - interview setup on the same position March 29, 2013 - Had the interview with the company and was hired within 2 hours of completing the interview. March 30, 2013 - Turned in my resignation to my old job April 1, 2013 - Started the new job I call that a quick turn around time since I already had a job in which limited my availability to start the new one. Your turn around time WILL vary so keep that in mind. Keep in mind the three critical steps for this to work: 1) Have to have a resume prepared 2) Have to go into their office for their interview (so that they can gauge your specific needs and wants) and it is IDEAL if you know what kind of work you would like to do 3) Call them every week to let them know that you are available to work (otherwise they may put you on the inactive/standby list) Once again, thanks Meg and Steffanie! read more

Please also refer to their Google reviews before you choose this agency. They have a 3.1 rating. I had a terrible experience with this place. Please know they value their clients over you. They also tried to threaten me with legal ramifications for talking about my experience working with them and Kendra Scott. Please be wary of What you sign there and keep copies of your paperwork. read more

I have nothing but great things to say about the A List Staffing group. This is my first experience with a staffing agency. Moving from Louisiana to Austin without a job is a bit nerve racking, to say the least, but the A List has helped me through this process, especially Trisha and Megan. When I went in to meet with Megan, we went over my skills, experience, and my work place preferences. After talking with her, she ended up giving me a lot more confidence in my experience than I had when I walked in the office. While I was there, I was introduced to all of the members of the staffing team, which it's nice to put a face to the person who will be giving you assignments. I met with the A list on a Friday and the following Monday, I had received an assignment. Now that's faster than I had expected! If you are needing to find a job, or taking a leap of faith like myself, definitely give the A List a try! read more

I moved to Austin and needed to find a great job. I worked with 2 other agencies over 3 months and they found me little to nothing. I met Yazmin and Ashley at a job fair, went in to The A List for an interview and started working quickly! They ultimately placed me in a great job doing what I love. Great team and a great company to work with. I highly recommend! read more

I used A List for employment during a career transition more than a year ago and think back highly of the whole experience and the staff in their office who handle the job placements. They made the whole process really simple and straightforward, and I believe actually screened and matched talent based on the available jobs be good matches for. I once visited another staffing agency which I did not end up working with and it was a very different story.. helped me to really appreciate A List. They also worked to try to get me a full-time job in my industry, which didn't end up lining up but was really an example of them taking the more temporary jobs as a way of fielding permanent roles. I haven't worked with them in awhile since landing my career job but they just called me out of the blue to wish me a happy birthday (guess I'm still in their system) and it has me appreciating the role they place at a transitional time in my life. read more

Out of all the temp agencies I've worked for (and I've been through a few here in Austin), Ashby Staffing is by far the BEST service in town. First of all, they are actually LOCAL, so many local businesses prefer them over any of the others. They are also a little pricier than the other services in Austin, indicating their standards for placing quality employees with their clients. From an employee's perspective, their staffing managers really listen when you tell them what you are looking for in a position, and are totally understanding when you feel you weren't placed in the right position, or matched with the right type of company. They are quick to find work as long as you are putting forth the effort of calling for assignments, and they were always available when I had questions or concerns. Although it took a couple of tries, I'm happy to be where I am because of them, and will always seek their services when I need to. read more

These Ladies are amazing! They are very helpful with people who are trying to find work. I have tryout a few other staffing/temping Agencies in Austin, Ashby by far is the best. They call me pretty much every week with job opportunities. The best part is that they work with all types of Austin companies Creative and Corporate. read more

A List Staffing has been a tremendous help with my job search! I've been working with them for a year now and they're always able to find something for me or at least keep in touch with updates if there isn't anything available. These ladies are amazing! read more

This temp agency is a goldmine that specializes in admin/clerical work. When I needed to be employed the very next day, they managed to find me a job. Not to mention, they are extremely cooperative and helpful and will try their best to find you any position that fits your criteria, and if you need something in a hurry they will keep you in mind should anything last-minute come up. They are efficient, organized, and you will get paid promptly every week. If you need help finding the location of the job site, they are patient over the phone as you wander aimlessly in your car. Best yet, the two sites I've worked were in central austin, so I could take a bus as well. As a freelancer who needs work between jobs, I will be using them as much as possible. read more

I can't say enough great things about this company and all of the gals over there!! Right away I noticed how much fun they were having and they all were very upbeat, friendly, helpful and professional. Andrea was who I worked directly with and she really listened to me about what type of temp work I am looking for, and what I would be good at. I was VERY surprised at some of the different types of jobs they have and companies they work with. My appointment was at noon and by 3:00 I was booked for the next week doing something fun and with hours that fit into my schedule!!! I will be recommending A List Staffing to everyone I know that is looking for work and blabbing about them on Social Media! Thanks SO much ladies- I can now have a great weekend knowing I have work lined up for next week! Your review helps others learn about great local businesses. Please don't review this business if you received a freebie for writing this review, or if you're connected in any way to the owner or employees. read more

Thanks again Yelpers for steering me in the right direction! The A List Staffing was "A List" all the way! Very professional, friendly and eager to help! I came in on a Thursday and had a temp job almost immediately (the following Monday) and was hired for a Temp-to-hire position within 2 weeks of coming in! I did check out one other temp agency before discovering the A-List and they were horrible in comparison to the A-List, so if you've been thinking about temp or temp-to-hire positions...look no further A-List Staffing is the place to go. They can match employers to your job skills and careers of interest. Why are you still reading this? Give them a call now or go to their website for directions on how to submit your resume. Thanks again A-List! You gals are A-mazing!!! read more

I have been using the alist for the past 3 years for my job searches and they have never failed me! They always find me exactly what I am looking for with some of the best customer service I've had most places. I have used many other staffing agencies and I would definitely recommended them about the rest. read more

I contacted A list during my recent job search and I'm happy to report that they found me a good three-month position with the potential to be brought on full-time within a few weeks. Everyone that I spoke with at their office was very nice, informative and professional. During my interview at their location, Leslie Thomas was amazing. She's very intuitive and helped me decide on the area in which it might be best for me to concentrate my efforts. read more

I was looking for work earlier this year and contacted The A List. They were quickly able to find me a temp to hire role doing AR and billing. Cheyenne and the rest were absolutely great and generally responsive. If you need short or long term assignments, this is the place to go! read more

I am very impressed by the quality of the people and environment of the workplaces where Ashby has placed me. They seemed to work nonstop finding the right "fit" for me, and I couldn't be happier with how my current job is going. Once I was placed permanently, Jackie even brought tulips and a balloon to my new office. Thank you, A-List, for living up to your name! read more

Exactly as the review reads... I've experienced better indeed. Not as high ranked as the very old reviews on this page. I would never use words like "amazing" or "extremely cooperative" in regard to this group. Not sure what has happened to the staff currently in that office, but there is a lack of the following specific qualities: *follow-through *honesty *professional communication *timely request fulfillment *appropriate talent -to -career placement *correct and timely payroll I have worked with two other local agencies and I will continue to work with them rather than Ashby/A-List. They tried, but that's not good enough. They are held at a higher standard in the community, but it was obviously a standard created a few years ago by a better staff in the Ashby office. read more

I had a great experience with A List! I had just quit my job where I felt overworked and extremely underpaid. I didn't want to commit to anything full time because I was so traumatized from my last work experience so I came to A List. They listened to my request to not apply to anything full time but to just dabble in different things until I was ready. After my first call with them I came in for an interview, explained my situation and they asked typical interview questions. After that I did some online tests, which did not really affect anything they said. Then within the week they called me for 1-3 day assignments. My assignments ranged from Jewelry assembly to receptionist positions. Pay was generally $12-$14 /hr which is pretty typical for temp positions. My last temp position was for a two week admin position that lasted four months and has now turned full time. It was nice because I was able to almost test run the job before committing. Also since they were paying the temp agency a large fee for me they were able to give me a huge raise and I became salary. A List was there every step of the way, constantly checking in and always prompt with their responses. You feel as if they really care- because they do! read more

At first starting out with this staffing agency seemed good. They got me signed on right away and found an ok job. Off the bat, I noticed they weren't really listening to what I was wanting to peruse in a future job and insisted on taking a position I was already experienced in. Wasn't completely opposed to it at first because I needed to find some work quickly. I received a summary sheet of my new role with an hourly temp rate and a salary rate when I would be hired ok permanently. I should have foreseen this trait would turn into a problem because they aren't focused on helping you...only collecting money from the client. I put in my 760 hours required to go from temp position to a permanent position. Once it was time to sign on to my new company, the company refused to pay me anymore than what the temp company was paying me. This also says a lot about the company who wanted to hire me. But my main concern with Erin at A-list was as I am telling her my concerns and wanting her to fight for me to get a livable salary as promised from this company..she doesn't..she left it in my hands to try to negotiate with this company. I expressed my concerns and how upset I was and it went in one ear and out he other. As I'm telling her I can't afford to stay on a temp pay for a heavy of a work load I'm getting, her solution was just to quit and that she couldn't find me anything else and that I had no other option. Then when finally deciding to stay (because the bills have to be paid regardless) she assumed I was getting the salary amount..I told her I wasn't and had to reiterate a summary of a 30 minute conversation to her that she just must have tuned out. Months go by without anyone from A-list reaching out to me or my current boss. I've emailed about other job postings they occasional send me by some email bot and I never get a response. My overall opinion is that they aren't very personable and won't fight for you to get an pay that was sold to you in the first place. You won't hear from them to check on you, even though they are your employer. read more

Without question the Best Staffing Agency Ever. My own personal experience is a true reflection that encompasses the core mission of this Firm. Each and every job seeker is treated with the utmost respect from beginning to end. The interview process is conducted in a private , polished and professional manner. Each candidate is given the opportunity to expand on themselves , their needs and their history. The recruiters and staffing managers work diligently every day to push forward, as they promote and advocate for their candidates and clients. The A List Provides a level of personal care to that shines above and beyond, expectations. Their dedication comes full circle and is unmatched!! read more

A-List is a good employer. They didn't get me anything long-term in my field (although they did approach me about some longer term, temp-to-perm assignments, which I ended up not taking), but they were great for getting me shift work while I was between jobs. The staff are REALLY nice. I have something full-time that I found on my own now, but I'm still signed on with them. Highly recommend. read more

I found A List to be very helpful at first to find me a job quickly, but once you are on the job, they never check on you. Had to do my own negotiations to go permanent with the company. Dee T. read more

Our business used A List staffing to locate candidates for a small focus group assignment in the Lockhart area, using people in that area to replicate a potential jury pool. A List gave us specific feedback in the selection process that they had found about 160 candidates in the Lockhart/Niederwald/Caldwell County area. However, when we held the focus group, it turned out that none of A List's candidates were actually from Lockhart/Niederwald, and they were all from Austin. It was relayed very clearly that we were looking for a narrow demographic of Lockhart-based individuals, and that Austin/Travis County-based individuals should be excluded. A List completely failed to do this. A List argued back to us that we had the chance to review the candidates' addresses when A List forwarded us their resumes. However, this was untruthful because none of the resumes included the candidate's address. They also argued back that they had "put a lot of work into our case." Sorry, but just because you put a lot of work into something doesn't mean you actually did a good job. If someone pays me to paint a picture of a giraffe, I don't get any brownie points if I spend 20 hours painting a picture of a dog. read more
