Comments:
Leafstone is a decent agency which sent me on some pretty good assignments. When I got there, I took some pretty routine tests and they had an assignment for me about a week later. I would say that they made a reasonable attempt to put me at assignments which matched my skills. One big problem with them that I had was their horrible standby policy. They always tell you to come in, they don't pay you at all, and there are WAY too many people there. That's why they're always encouraging people to come in for standby, because it doesn't cost them anything. They also become upset when you leave on them when it becomes obvious you're just wasting your time there.
