BEST RECRUITERS EVER!!! Cannot say enough good things about these folks. Very professional, helped me get my dream job. They represented me to my employer very well, and I wanted nothing more than to make certain IDR looked good when I interviewed. I would not hesitate to work with them again.... but there is NO WAY I'm leaving my full time, non-contract current gig :)

Everyone in their Nashville, TN office was extremely professional, efficient, quick, and truly cared about my time and schedule. I would recommend them to anyone. I was placed quickly and my engagement manager always followed up with me.

Report
This recruiting agency is a joke. They do not care about their contractor and are very greedy. They will talk you into a lower rate so they can make more off the top they charge a company. They have small little office in Dunwoody, your rushed through all the processes cause they want you working immediately so they can benefit off you. Do not quit your job and go to work with this company.

Report
I was contacted by these recruiters here in Atlanta and I really regret I even spoke with them. They really know how to talk you into quitting your current job and taking an assignment with them, then you find out its not all what they claim to be, cause they will tell you how great its a place to work, etc etc. Then when you start you find things are not what you expected. There are many more better recruiters to work with in Atlanta, Just use caution when speaking with these recruiters and make sure you do your own deep research and speak in depth with the company you will be contracted to.Beware
