Working with Michelle Cornelius was one of the best experiences I've had during a job search. From…read morethe very beginning, she took the time to understand not only my qualifications but also my long-term career goals. Rather than making me feel like just another candidate, she made me feel genuinely valued throughout the entire process. Michelle was incredibly responsive, transparent, and encouraging every step of the way. She consistently kept me updated, answered my questions promptly, and provided honest insight that helped me feel prepared and confident. Her professionalism, attention to detail, and commitment to finding the right fit--not just filling a role--truly set her apart. What impressed me most was how much she genuinely cared about my success. It's rare to come across someone who is as invested in helping people grow professionally as Michelle is. Her guidance and support made what can often be a stressful experience feel smooth, organized, and exciting. If you're looking for a recruiter who leads with integrity, communicates exceptionally well, and truly advocates for her candidates, I can't recommend Michelle highly enough. Thank you for everything you made a lasting impression, and I'm incredibly grateful for your support throughout the process.

Megan Joyce was my recruiter and she was outstanding, she really took the time to hear me out, providing constructive feedback on my resume and basically held me hand through the entire process which I appreciate. After working with several recruiters, I finally felt heard. Megan was super helpful with walking me through the company I was applying for and giving me pointers on interview prep. She was proactive and constantly checked in making sure I was happy. Megan is truly the best, not just saying that because she got US A JOB and a great company. On top of that, she was kind enough to connect my friend that is looking for a new job with one of her colleagues. Proven has great staff all around and I highly recommend them. Keep shinning Megan, I appreciate you!

I had never considered…read morethe possibility of finding a job this way but here I was thrilled about the opportunity because Amanda was truly interested to learn about me to find the perfect match. I first interviewed with one company, we learned we were not a match, but Amanda immediately sent me other opportunities she felt would be a better match. On my second interview with the second company, with the magic powers of Amanda, I found the most amazing compatible human beings and organization for me and for my future career goals--I found my Dream Job! It was a pleasure working with A-Star Staffing, the onboarding and transition to full hire employee with the new organization I work for now was seamless! Amanda was extremely supportive and has been instrumental to my success at my full-time job now. She was reliable, genuine, caring, and helpful. A-Star Staffing have truly been a blessing--I feel fortunate to have found them! I highly recommend A-Star Staffing, but only if you are serious about finding a job and have good intentions to stay on good terms with your potential employer, because A-Star Staffing will search for the most compatible job for you to remain permanent and happy! In case you are wondering.....I am few months from completing my 1st year at my new job!! Thank you, Amanda.

I inquired about a job and got a call for a zoom interview, then I was given 2 tests to complete but the link was only letting me access to one so I reached out to the recruiter about it and told her that so had completed one out of the two and sent her screenshots of the error I received while trying to do the second test and she replied back very promptly and informed me that she had sent another link for the test and so I finally get that test done and informed the recruiter and I get an email from her saying "Thank you" So I assumed that they would get back to me. I tried calling them multiple times but nobody ever answered the phones. 10+ days go by and I'm calling but nobody ever answered or returned the calls so I proceeded to email a follow up after that since I wasn't getting anywhere and Woow! Weeks after I finally hear back with the classic "we don't have anything that fits your skill set" SO THEN WHY EVEN TALK ABOUT A POSITION THAT YOU WERE NOT EVEN GOING TO PRESENT ME FOR??? So unprofessional! They need to figure out their stuff because why even try to help others when your office and staff isn't working properly. Other than the one Express office in Camino del rio this is the second office that just doesn't produce good outcomes. IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO WASTE YOUR TIME DO NOT COME WORK FOR THIS INDIVIDUALS

When I reached out to Ultimate Staffing, my goal was to transfer into a position in the Human Resource field. I could not have asked for two better individuals in my career transition than Chastidy Lopez and Vicki Nelson. Both ladies understood my new career objectives and begun strategizing to achieve my new career goal. When I first called Ultimate Staffing; I got the pleasure of speaking with Chastidy Lopez, who was very welcoming and more than happy to assist me. Chastidy exceeded my expectations in helping me get established with Ultimate Staffing and she connected me with a recruiter in the Human Resources field. My first appointment with Ultimate Staffing was on a Wednesday, where I met Vicki Nelson who took the time to meet with me even though the office was extremely busy. I was so impressed on how Vicki understood my motivations and how to use my education, skills, and experience for a position in my new desired field. The next day, Vicki obtained a phone interview for me with a great company for a position in their Human Resource Department. On Friday of that same week; I had a face to face interview with the company and on Monday, Vicki called me to announce that I got the position! WOW! The guidance these ladies provided me have made a world of difference in my career change. I knew changing careers would be a challenge, but Chastidy and Vicki took much of the stress and fear away. I highly recommend Ultimate Staffing for anyone looking for employment, new employment, or like myself, changing careers. read more

I am so happy I found Ultimate Staffing. With Tarick he was able to reach out to me quickly as soon as I needed a job and get me onboard with an Employer in a matter of days. Being that Ultimate Staffing is my first Agency ever, working with Tarick as my first Agent he has done so much for me and eased the pain of job searching. I work with him directly and personally. He constantly checks up on seeing how I am doing mentally, and physically with work. Tarick is always keeping me up to date with changes and making sure I am on the right track with my performance levels at work, if not, he would let me know asap. He keeps me well accountable and to be honest, couldnt ask for a better Agent. He is a down to earth gentleman that only looks out for the best of his clients. Thankyou Tarick for everything you do for me and look forward to hopefully working with you for as long as I can. -Daniel read more

This time, the second time, my experience has been even more painful. Supposedly, I entered into some sort of "program" to get me employed but thus far it has been months of going around and around with one woman after another who has done nothing but refer me to "workshops" led by women who openly admit that they cannot get hired doing anything else. Yes, the Metro Career Center is clean, but I really wonder if some of these overly enthusiastic reviews on here are created by employees simply to ensure that the funding continues. The truth is that you can get a computer at the library. You can get a listing of temp agencies (that are not hiring) from Google. I can tell myself the basics of resume design. I can (even better) ask ChatGPT. My current "case manager" does nothing. She knows that I am going to go hungry soon so she sends me two links to dead-end job listings from companies that thus far have ignored my application. I'm not qualified to be a lot attendant for a parking company? Do I need two degrees for such a prestigious position? Now my case manager refuses to return my emails, even after I have begged for more help, or at least some moral support. Terrible. These Career Centers do nothing and are staffed by people who are otherwise unemployable themselves. As I've already written, the library also has free computers. The people at the Career Center claim that somewhere at the end of the rainbow there may be Department of Labor training, but you never get there. The pot of gold is a mirage. It's just the same thing over and over again, if you are even that lucky. Redo your resume. Redo your resume. Redo your resume. Get no job hits. San Diego's job market is the worst I've ever seen. Vastly too many people. And most of the people doing the hiring are very very biased and prejudicial about who they hire. Too old? Too this? Too that? Too bad. Get your shopping cart and pick a nice corner in a nearby parking lot to live. And no one cares. Even the people allegedly paid to help you. Five stars for superficial appearance. Zero stars for actually doing anything to help you get employed.
