I am very impressed with the Applied Companies HR and Temp recruiting team. They are always very helpful, responsive, and knowledgeable. Jasmine Sarmiento is a pleasure to work with and always very helpful to myself in the manager role and to my staff. Kerry O'Neill and her team just rock. They work so hard to fill the positions we post with them with quality people. Also, Kerry and her team are always so responsive and resolve issues in a very timely manner. Kudos to the Applied Staffing Team for their dedication, hard work, and excellent customer service to the small businesses that they serve

The Team at Applied is the real deal. We've had a single year business association with them that I predict will spread far into the future!! They're our team's right hand, and Kerri always brightens my day in the process with her sense of humor and can-do attitude. RIX Industries' Human Resources team appreciates Applied!!!

We have been working with The Applied Companies for over 10 years now. They have really worked for us and are very responsive. Emma, is always on standby with any issues that may come up. I have worked with a couple other PEO's but Applied is by far the easiest and best to work with.
