Comments:
I worked with Cameo Group for a year upon moving to NYC. I was placed quickly at reputable companies and was treated with respect. Everyone I encountered, including the placement counselors, were very helpful and pleasant. At other agencies I felt they gave me the run around. I always felt as though Cameo was upfront and honest about everything they told me. I am currently in a permanent position acquired through Cameo and I would return to Cameo if I was in need of employement. They are a medium sized firm which allows them to give thier temporary employees the attention and respect they deserve. I would recommend Cameo to anyone who is interested in temporary work.

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.
