Still waiting...

They seemed thoroughly impressed with my resume, references and test results, *and* I came highly recommended by one of their favorite temps. Before leaving the interview, I was told about a potential job order and that someone would followup with me the next day. But I never received that call and eventually followed up with them myself at the end of the week. In short, I have yet to hear back from them and have never received placement.

What a waste of time.

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.
