Out of a number of recruiting companies in Silicon Valley, Palo Alto Staffing provided me with the most support and helped me get hired within weeks of reaching out to them! My recruiter Dillion went above and beyond to match me with a company that fit my personality! I couldnt be happier with my experience with them! 10/10 would highly recommend!

Palo Alto Staffing really helped me out when I was in a pinch back in March. I was laid off from my job and bills were quickly pilling up. Matthew was so great and really coached me through the whole process. They ended up placing me in a dream position. It was a temp position and I was praying that the company brought me on as an employee. I finally got the official offer to become an employee of the company and will be moving off of temp status!!! Can't thank Matthew enough for helping make this my reality. I really felt like I got the treatment of a family run and operated business. Thank

From beginning to end PAS has been very helpful in finding me a job! Most other recruiters that I have worked with did not really put in an effort to help find me a job. After a week or two they would give up but, my recruiter Ana work diligently until she found me the perfect job! Staff is also polite, easy to talk to and the on boarding process was very easy.

I have been using Palo Alto Staffing's premiere services for a while and it has been an exceedingly great experience. They find you a great company to work for and negotiate for you great compensation as well. On top of that, when you have a question, they are readily available to answer all your questions. What more can one ask for? Thank you!
