I've been temping for 29 years. I used to be a photographer, so I did that as backup. Now I'm changing directions professionally. I was hoping to continue temping, but the whole temp industry has gone to hell in a hand basket. And Helen Hopkins, the "president" of Hire Standard, is a prime example of why. She was trying to line up an assignment for me. Things were going well until she told me on a Wednesday I had a choice of one of two days to start - the next day, or Friday. I picked Friday because I had something to do the next day. Then she tried to tell me to keep my

I havent yet secured employment with this company, but what Ive experienced with them thus far has been great! The owner, Helen, is very personable and really takes an interest in your needs. I highly recommend them if youre looking for a company that sets the bar in professionalism. Give them a call, you wont be disappointed!

I was working hard for this temp agency for 4.5 months being paid at $18 per hour. However, I was paid only $8.25 per hour in my final paycheck. When I asked for an explanation, no reply. Unethical.

This place was awful. After submitting my resume, I called to see if I could talk with a recruiter. I spoke with someone on the phone, and she asked me a few questions about where I work, and what I'm looking for. I answered just that, and then she asked me "Oh, your job doesn't have any opportunities there?" EXCUSE ME, if it did I wouldn't be calling you!! Needless to say, I never heard from them after that, I never called them after that.

I was contacted by this company regarding a job that they said would be PERFECT for me. After 30 minutes on the phone, I was promised a call back within the next day or two, to set up an interview. I was told that I'd definitely be one of the (if not the only) best candidates that they'd be recommending to their client. Within the week, I called twice to check on things, as I hadn't heard back. As I still haven't, and it's been a few months, I'm guessing I wasn't the perfect candidate after all. But still, I think it's pathetic that someone can&apos
