This review is biased because, after 1.5 years of working though Force One, we became friends with the owners and they bought one of the first web pages from our design business! At any rate, my boyfriend Glen was referred to Force One while interning at Epic Records and after a few temp jobs he landed a great job.

I started at Force One not very trusting of employment agencies, but I found the people there to be extremely friendly, straightforward and honest. Actually interested in what I wanted! A lot of the people temping for them are actors. They don't pay the highest rate but you get a lot of chances to temp at exciting companies with really interesting people. It's a great way to get to know the entertainment industry.
