Nelson

As an employer who has had horrible experiences with many of the Bay Area staffing agencies, I thought there must be an alternative solution. After an extensive online search, I found Nelson. They have always been prompt, courteous and responsive. From the very beginning, they listened to my needs and understood that my hesitance based on my horrific experiences with other staffing agencies. Rich Dana (not in the Pleasanton branch but definitely deserves a mention) and Sarah have been wonderful to work with. The very first candidate they found was «the one» that I have been searching for and is still with me today. Nelson has proven to be a cut above the rest in an era where staffing agencies have appeared to lose any semblance of standards. I have referred a few colleagues and will continue to do so. Keep up the good work, Nelson!

After being laid off from a job, I found myself adrift. It was thanks to Sebnem and Sarah that I was able to get back on my feet! They found my a well paid position at a reputable firm in Lafayette, and took into account the fact that I don’t drive and only found me listings near BART. I highly recommend this responsive and caring team!

I have had the best experience with Nelson Staffing — Pleasanton branch. I have worked with and worked for other agencies, but Nelson takes the cake. They are the model for how a Staffing company should treat their contractors, employees, and even competitor contractors (I know because I have prepped competitor candidates who are about to interview with a mutual client). If you want a break down, this branch has both Finance, Technology, R4R, Administrative, and Light Industrial divisions. I saw a review below — and would like to address the fact that Nelson does not work with any factories. I believe the assembly line position was at a winery and a very nice one at that. Check out Nelson Staffing Recruiters’ LinkedIn profiles for more positive reviews from candidates.

I called the agency to register and spoke with Mikaela. She said for me to send her my resume and it was not necessary to come into the office to meet in person. Weeks later I sent a follow up email after seeing a CL job posting that they were seeking people for jobs in the area. I was qualified for those jobs posted… Still no response from Mikaela. There’s a thing called follow through and it’s unfortunate Mikaela doesn’t know what it is. Luckily I went with another staffing agency and they found me a job! If you call this office, ask for someone else to assist you.

I can not say enough about how wonderful Nelson staffing was in helping me find a job. Im interviewed by Charlyn Tango last friday and by Tuesday afternoon i had a job offer. I am starting my new position this Coming thursday and im so thrilled! I would definitely recommend this company to anyone i knw who needed a job.

Can any company be soo perfect to constantly get 5 starts without a single ONE star missing?
Is something ever soo good to be true that — MAYBE it is?!!
My friend always searching found a posting from this branch looking for CSR’s so they applied and had a response to come in for an interview.
Supposedly like they say in other Unilocal the staff were very friendly and very sociable and kind… they got interviewed by the manager too boot.
When they came back to the car they were happy and singing the praises of how kind everyone was and they were beyond super positive they would be getting a job.
Why … ?
Because they were told they were such a good canidate the manager referred their information to another Nelson office and also outside of the office said they would keep in touch regarding possible other jobs in the industries of choice they wanted.
At the end they were told by Friday… Monday at the latest they would be contacted back GOOD or BAD with a status update on the first job they applied for.
Well Friday came and went then Monday… OH wow NO CALL BACK!
So they went and called Nelson and were told the recruiter would call them back ASAP…
One… two… four… a week passes and no response from Nelson.
So they call again and get told by a different person that they will check on their profile and contact them back ASAP
Can you guess how fast they called back?
Two weeks pass and still no callback — no email — no sky writing…
What makes it sad is they were SO heartbroken because they were soo filled with confidence by the staff and recruiters… they had SUCH high hopes… and had them crushed!
It takes… 2 minutes. to email an update…10 minutes to call and leave a voice mail…
Nelson staffing couldnt take a few minutes to treat a unemployed person like a human being and give them alittle respect after PROMISING over 3 times to contact them…
When people are on unemployment and are given false hopes… is that human… is it morally right?
People unemployed just want to be given alittle respect and dignity…
The job market is cruel enough on the unemployed as it is…
Ever wonder why soo many of the 5 stars here ONLY have one posts?
Well seems people are encouraged to post favorable comments on Unilocal.
Notice how none of them have updated if they got a job –etc-​etc-​etc…
It always goes back to ‘if something is too good to be true…”.

I deem it important for me to take the time to write a brief review on my job interview experience at Nelson Staffing of Pleasanton represented by Charlyn Tango. I found the experience to be rewarding, professional and stress-​free. The environment at Nelson Staffing in Pleasanton gave me the impression that the staff possess the wisdom to know that the job search process is quite demanding and at times a bit discouraging and over whelming. When you enter into this office you feel a sense that now you are receiving sincere representation towards the goal to find a position in the work-​force.
I want to thank personally Charlyn Tango and the staff at Nelson Staffing in Pleasanton for taking a negative situation and turning it into a positive experience.
Sincerely & Best Regards
Dale O.

Losing a job can be one of the most difficult times in your life, and after searching on my own and countless résumé submission I decided that I had to do something different. From the moment I walked in Justin was very courteous and informative. Which was a drastic change from the other agencies that would give me the run around. I’m very pleased with the service that I received from Nelson’s. I already have a interview scheduled for next week.

Adrienne is definitely one of the best recruiters I’ve had the opportunity to work with in SF. She is thorough, incredibly accommodating, actively listens, and truly cares about you as a person in juxtaposition with your professional goals. She continues to exceed the requirements of her role for her clients and goes through hoops to make sure that you are taken care of– settling for mediocrity is not in her vocabulary. And to top it all off, she’s hilarious! I strongly recommend her and the Nelson Team. They are seriously the best!
