Eh, no luck with this agency. The reviews were generally positive, so I took a chance and submitted my resume for consideration. I submitted an application, took the tests, submitted references and was connected with Diana Villegas. However no opportunities were sent my way. Word of advice: When using a staffing agency, do not submit your references right away, or at the very least, make it clear that you do not want your references contacted until the agency has first connected you with potential opportunities. I was not happy this agency checked my references when I wasn't presented

I highly recommend Whitman Associates. Julie was absolutely incredible and gave me fantastic suggestions for improving my resume's readability. Even though I ended up landing a job by myself, Julie had some great opportunities lined up for me that fit my experience and preferences to a tee. If I ever find myself looking for a placement in DC, Whitman will be my place to go. They work hard for you and genuinely want the best for their clients.

Julie is AMAZING! I had started to lose hope in my job search process and was honestly on the fence about using a staffing company. I had been peddling my resume to old job connections and through every online avenue with not ONE solid response. I have a very stacked resume and was naive thinking I could easily find a full time position that fit my needs. The instant I responded to Whitman's email they scheduled an appointment for me to come in and meet with Julie. In that meeting she gave me some job opening options and asked me what I was interested in. The following week I had back to

I have had the luxury of having secretarial and administrative support for more than 35 years, and have always insisted on the best, because after all, that person is an extension of what I do. From running multi-million dollar corporations, to a small nonprofit, the criteria is the same. So, when I needed a temporary assistant for the week of our nonprofit gala, I called Whitman Associates, Inc. in Washington and happened to speak with their VP of Marketing. I told her what I needed, and what that person would be doing. Now, while I would ordinarily want to interview that person in advance, Julie

My experience with Whitman Associates, Inc. was my first with a staffing agency and I am not sure anyone could provide a better experience. I originally found them online and decided it was worth a try since I was looking for a temp position. I followed the directions provided to email in my resume and follow-up with a phone call. I was immediately scheduled for an interview just a few days later (due to my own schedule being full). The appointment was really smooth and straightforward. I met with Denise who was an absolute pleasure to interview with. The entire meeting was very professional while

I highly recommend Whitman Associates! I had never used a temp agency before, and this was a pleasant experience. I was very frustrated trying to find a job after graduating; I ended up going to Whitman Associates for help finding a job even though the positions were unrelated to what I had studied but I didn't mind.
Julie was so helpful, professional, and nice-- she called me and told me about several positions and never gave up on me. I was working for a few months as a temp which turned into a permanent position. I can't say enough wonderful things about Julie. She was excellent
