I have worked through Pro Search at three different companies over the years. They are responsive, care about your experience as a temporary, you are paid weekly, and they offer some benefits. If you are retired and looking for a way to earn some extra money or are looking for a new position consider registering with ProSearch.

ProSearch is incredibly professional welcoming. Liz G. My recruiter explained every step of the job process and continually sent follow up emails. She answered my calls when I had specific questions and even noticed I had forgot a part of my pay paperwork to ensure I got paid on time!

The recruiter, Brennon reached out to me regarding a part time contract role. This was my first in the industry, and involved a leap of faith for me. Brennon and Pro Search went above and beyond to get me cleared for the assignment which lead to a full time employment offer. Thanks again Pro Search team for your responsiveness, professionalism and being such a joy to work with!

I'm from Pennsylvania and came to Maine with my boyfriend for his work. I reached out to ProSearch before coming out to see about finding a temporary position while I was here. Liz was very professional, courteous, efficient, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. She made finding a job effortless on my part. I had offers as soon as I got out here and she guided me through everything necessary to begin working. I was placed in a great position, making great money. I honestly couldn't be more thrilled with my decision to contact them. I will definitely be getting in touch with them again next year
