Comments:
I fax my resume to Atrium. I receive a message stating that there were a few Administrative Assistant openings. Talk on the phone with a counselor name Taz for about fifteen minutes. She told me how impressed she was by my qualification and background, and would like to meet with me. I was given an appointment the following week. When I got there I was told to fill out an online form. I was not even tested, even though I asked for one. I met with a counselor named Melissa and was told that there was nothing available at the moment and was sent home. Wasted my time and subway fare. If you ask me I think they were expecting someone non-ethnic especially based on my work experience listed on my resume.

Note that all reviews are individual contributions and do not represent the opinion of the site administrator. They have not been independently verified, so there is nothing to stop someone from posting a pack of lies. Some agencies with great reviews may be really bad, and some agencies with bad reviews may be really great. As with everything online, be careful and don't believe everything you read. I take no responsibility for what comes up when you google yourself.
