Comments:
I hate this agency. The registration takes 3 hours. Then you go meet the "smilely, happy people". After I had completed my test, I was paraded around the room like cattle.

They made me go interview for a job at Goldman Sachs. If it is a temp job, why do I have to answer those stupid interview questions. You know what are your strengths, what are your weaknesses. Where do you see yourself in five years. Duh, lady if I am tempting, obviously, I don't see myself here.

This place is a waste of time. They call with stupid offers. I don't do phones. But when you give in, they say great let me call the client and never call you back.

Stay away.

I had great success with Quantum
