Comments:
This has been a harrowing ride. My recruiter (former) had no understanding of even basic computing terms and was trusted to place people for positions. Many was the time where I found myself explaining simple issues and relevancies for a project that wouldn't have taken more than a minute's time to the average user. The sad part is that most temps there don't realize that they're victims.

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.
