My experience with Leading Edge Personnel has been great. The Austin team is efficient, professional, and hard-working. In less than two weeks, they helped me to secure a temp-to-hire position with a great company. I couldn't be more satisfied with Leading Edge and their service.

The staff at the Austin office of Leading Edge Personnel talked to me and, once I entered my information, obtained a wonderful first assignment for me with an Austin association. (THANK YOU!) Everyone at Leading Edge Personnel has been helpful, supportive and kind. I highly recommend them. Also, the orientation video is the funniest video of its kind I have ever seen.
