Update 2/23/2017: Never heard from them again. Pretty sure I got called back just so they could ask me to update my rating. Updating it again to my original score. Update 2/4/2015: I was contacted by Greg Myers, the president of Option 1 staffing this morning who formally apologized for the experience I had and said hed handle my case personally to ensure my satisfaction. I have to say I did not expect this and I found it very courteous and professional. That is not something that I would expect most companies to do and for that Im willing to bump up my score a bit. Original Review: Was called by them after putting my resume up on Monster. Went in for an interview which was pleasant and the woman who interviewed me named Paula was sweet. She said she was considering me for a job in Sunnyvale doing similar work to the work I am currently doing. I was then offered a position a week later by a woman named Sarah who wanted me to work up at Stanford, which is a little out of the way for me but I was interested anyways. After calling me saying she was going to do a background check and would call me for an interview the next week, I suddenly got a call the next week from her basically asking me to accept the job on the spot. I am currently working already and I found it a little unprofessional that they would want me to accept a job on the spot without wrapping up my previous engagements. She also contacted the wrong phone number after I specifically gave her a number to contact me. Long story short, I found the overall experience a little unprofessional. She apparently made a mistake as to where I was actually located and in the end I was rudely told that they "cant work with me". Maybe they are helpful for some people, but I was left with a very bitter taste in my mouth.

Option 1 Staffing was the blessing in disguise I was in great need of. I had been on a long bumpy path of education and was ready for a career. I had been applying online for jobs for at least 6 months, but unfortunately no avail. One day, I received a call from Nicole and the rest was history. I came in for my interview with Amy and also Paula. Both so sweet and wonderful. Nicole did an amazing job communicating with me back and forth. The interview really made me think of what I wanted out of a job. A couple of weeks later, a temp-assignment came as an opportunity and I am ever so thankful to Paula for bringing it to my attention. An assignment that was just for a few weeks ended up being the job I was looking for. Exactly 4 months later, I have now secured a permanent position in Stanford University, School of Medicine. I am equally thankful to the Stanford team for providing this opportunity. Option 1 Staffing really opened the door for me. Yes, some may have say it is so cliche, but I am living this reality. I must have applied to over 100 jobs online through various recruiters electronically. I really now wish that I had come in contact with this wonderful team earlier. But like they say, when the time is right everything will fall in place. I can go on and on about how wonderful this agency is. I really wish there were more than 5 stars to rate this agency. THANK YOU OPTION 1 STAFFING!!!

My experience of working with Paula and Option 1 was exceptional. From initial contact until she successfully placed me into my desired position as an Executive Assistant, she consistently supported me in my applications. She went above and beyond to ensure I was prepared for the interviews and provided an approachable but professional service. I am now working in a growing tech company, which met all of my needs, and I know I wouldn’t have had this opportunity without Paula’s help. Paula has also restored my faith in recruitment companies and I felt as though she tried her best to help me whenever I needed it. I recommend Paula and Option 1 Staffing to all of my friends and colleagues. This was my current companies first time using Option 1, and having Paula come out and meet our team personally after I was hired to ensure I was a perfect fit simply assured the company that they in fact did make the right choice both in working with Paula at Option 1 as well as hiring me. Thank you Paula!

I have not needed the assistance of an agency in many years (fortunately) until last week. I went to 3 of them. Two large, global agencies and the local firm, Option 1 Staffing in Los Altos. From the moment I was GREETED at the door I felt that I was the ONLY person that mattered! The receptionist was so friendly! I was waiting in the lobby and the president of the company was walking out and he stopped to see if I was being assisted! WOW! I met with a very bright recruiter who seemed to truly want to help ME on the road to MY GOALS and not just hers! It has been 5 days and I start my new job on Monday! Very honored to represent such a great company!

Option 1 Staffing is a great company with great people working there. They are very helpful in placing people in jobs that are a good match for each individual. The office staff is very helpful and accommodating and always available to you when you need them. One of the best things about them is that if, for any reason, you dont feel a placement is a good fit they will find you another position with no questions asked. They also find jobs of any length of time you wish to work and will accommodate keeping you working temp jobs or temp to perm. I highly recommend working with this staffing agency. They will keep you working!

There is only one word to describe Option 1 Staffing...AMAZING! Its the best feeling to wake up, and actually want to go to work in the morning. Paula, who helped me find my current job, was so great to work with. She was professional, efficient, and found many options that fit exactly what I was looking for. She was determined to find the best fit for me and she did. I felt like all the attention was on me, and she wouldn’t stop till the right job was found. I would recommend this company to anyone and if you have the opportunity to work with Paula you will not be disappointed.

I had a really great experience with Nicole. She really went above and beyond for me finding me a position in a company that I really enjoy working for. I am so thankful for the services that Option 1 has provided for me. As a student, it was difficult to find any job that could match with my school schedule as well as be easily accessible without requiring me to drive. She made all of that happen, and I am extremely thankful. On top of that, this company made the hiring process a breeze and I was kept in the loop and updated frequently.

Option 1 Staffing has been the best resource! Ive shopped around and this by far is the most professional and personable experience in the Bay Area. Greg and Paula are first-rate characters and the supporting staff are always friendly and accommodating. I highly recommend their services! They placed me at Stanford 9 years ago and I reached back out when I needed there services recently. Paula remembered me and was happy to assist once more! You are in great hands with Option 1 Staffing!
