I worked for Scott Iverson and he shorted me on my last paycheck and everyone else on the team and took away my raise and withheld my check for 5 weeks and counting. Terrible professional. Will be reporting to state.

Staffing Solutions has helped me navigate the choppy waters of being a caregiver to my mom and having a legal career these last few years. They have consistently found me choice temp or contract paralegal roles that worked with my caregiver obligations so I can do both.

It took less than a month for Staffing Solutions to help me get job. Shortest and easiest job search ever.

I almost never write reviews, positive or negative, but in this case I wanted to shine a light on the fantastic services I got using Staffing Solutions. I've used employment agencies my entire life- both good and bad- and this is one of the most professional, accessible and downright nicest staff I've ever worked with. They were awesome, and YES I got exactly the job I wanted! That's why I'm writing this. Thank you Nicole and Ali, and everyone else, for all your work! Highly recommended

This company is local and very professional and well respected. They have earned that respect because they are extremely professional, kind, and very skilled at finding employee to employer matches. Its clearly apparent that they really are passionate about what they do. They placed me in a great job working for a great company and I am so happy still, one year later. Im forever thankful!
