Spherion

This place is awesome! They helped me find jobs right away in the past. Valerie and Elisha, who are no longer there, were fantastic. Shawn who is there now, is also great. Its much slower now, but they are honest about it, they make no promises they cant keep!

The agent at Randstad contacted and invited me to come to the office to sign up with their company. He is very nice at first by trying to match me with the job which weren’t match my skills. After a few tryings, he totally ignorged me and get really mad when I tried to contact him about the opening position on thier web-​site which I am intereted. Tried to call him, never got through, left him a message, never heard back, finally got through to him and he answered: What the heck do you want? Really. Is it how you work with peoples in this stage and age. He forgot that he need candidate like us to make his commision and his company profit from it. Never in my life got a bad treatment like that from any staffing agency. Forget Randstad in Century city.

I had a referral to Spherion, now Randstad, Fall 2011, and found Elisha Rodriguez and Val Kennedy, Recruiters, to be fantastic to work with and immediately able to place me on assignments. My preference was to work at UCLA, Westwood, and thus I waited for a placement. While waiting, I also networked with contacts at UCLA and that provided work for me with Elisha setting up my timecard and hourly pay. Finding my own work and then having Elisha work with the client for my pay has been very convenient. Elisha is also well liked and respected at UCLA and this has made my desire to work at UCLA Westwood very helpful.

I didn’t find the Torrance location helpful at all. In the 2 months I’ve been looking for work I’ve gotten many phone calls and interviews just by applying to companies directly. Imelda Perez has not called me once. It was a complete waste of time to go on an interview and take the assessments which I scored very highly on.

I’ll be the first to review Spherion.
Everyone here is really nice and helpful! They found me a temporary assignment right away after I signed up. It was also a perfect fit for what I told them I was looking for in a position. They are really helpful in not only finding you available positions, but giving you preparation for everything you need for the interview. They give you all in the insight to try and nail the interview to get you the position.
I’m actually now a full-​time permanent employee at the same exact place that Spherion put me in contact with! With that said, my experience with Spherion was a success.
