    I got set up with Joann last year. She gave me one possible job that didn't even match my skills. Then she went completely MIA.

    One word to describe Wunderland Group - amazing! My friend referred me to Wunderland Group 4 years…read moreago after she spoke so highly of the staffing agency/team she worked with that helped placed her with a direct hire opportunity at Northwestern University. After connecting with Marisa Vrona, she was amazing keeping me in the loop of current career opportunities that best fit my level of experience and very personable! Fast forward to now, I met with Marisa and her colleague Alyssa Rubnitz for coffee yesterday since I've been in contact with them so long and never officially met them in person. They were both very bubbly, personable and I can see why we all stayed in contact for so long! They don't treat you like just another candidate, but like you're apart of the Wunderland family. Thanks to Alyssa, she placed me in a previous contract assignment with Choose Chicago and recently Northwestern Medicine as a Project Manager and had an overall amazing experience within both roles. I look forward to staying in contact if I never need further assistance within my career search and will continue sending referrals :)

    I can't recommend WunderLand Group enough. I've worked most closely with Marisa but also Molly and…read moreJessica. All three of them have been nothing but proactive in helping make my job search as seamless as possible. In the span of 9 months and two placements (two contract roles), Marisa has helped me better realize my career potential and reach my career goals. I've worked with other recruiting/talent agencies in the past, but none have been as helpful, responsive, and positive as WunderLand. They also do an awesome job at making you feel like your work and success is recognized. I would hands down recommend WunderLand!

    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!

    I am so grateful that I found Northbridge Staffing and my amazing recruiter Erin! 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.

    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.

In their unfriendly behavior they make it clear they see you as a nuisance and not as an asset. I requested to reschedule an interview, and they mouthed off at me as if I was a child asking them to do me a favor and began to lecture and accuse me rather than doing their job. I am a busy salaried professional and it took a lot of effort to keep my composure. It's ironic because I was giving them the benefit of the doubt despite multiple low-star reviews and the fact I already had offers elsewhere to choose from. The only reason I didn't explode over the phone is because their client was a decent, large company and I wanted to see if they would do the reasonable thing for their client and simply arrange to reschedule the interview. As of the time of this review, they haven't sent me anything. Well, I'm done. Now their client is short an employee. I wouldn't trust this company in any capacity due to their low standards of professionalism, communication, and professional engagement. If you want to get hired at a large company, just go to their website. Using a middleman who's sloppy, passive aggressive, unprofessional, and most importantly not acting in your best interest can cost you valuable opportunities and obstruct the hiring process. You do not want these people to handle your resume or in any way be involved in your employment search. They will ---- it up big time and act like it's nothing. You absolutely cannot count on these people. Do not let them anywhere near your resume. HANDLE YOUR JOB SEARCH YOURSELF.

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!
