Worst experience. The only thing worse than setting aside three weeks doing the whole interviewing process is not to receive the money you were promised. Praise God that whole chapter is over and found work through Indeed. WILL NEVER use a flight by night job gypsy again especially this one. Do your own job and career searching

We needed a Controls Engineer immediately- they quickly were able to determine exactly what we needed and had someone start with us within a week. Excellent service, A+ recruiting.
