Report
I came to Pancoast looking for work. They responded to me fairly quickly in the beginning, but after I completed and sent them the full application they requested I complete. I ceased receiving any notifications from the company, complete radio silence. I do not recommend this staffing firm to any individual looking for work. Do not waste your time filling out a detailed application just have this agency ghost you after.

Scott, Lisa and his team are the best temp agency downtown. Whether you are looking for temp or direct hire, they work with you to get you the best option to fit your needs. I would absolutely recommend. Thanks for placing me.

I didn't find a job through Pancoast Staffing but Scott was dedicated to reaching out to me and connecting me with employers. His response was always timely and approach was very respectful. I definitely recommend working with them!

Great company to work for. I prefer temporary jobs and I have had many great positions thru Pancoast over the years. The staff is especially sensitive to the needs of the employee at every step of the process whether it is a temp position or an interview for a permanent position. They are not bothersome nor pushy. I usually just call to show availability and the staff starts calling rather quickly with work. I have and will continue to recommend Pancoast Staffing to everyone seriously looking for work.
