I am a bit torn about how to rate Monument. On the one hand, they found me jobs that kept even a little bit of cash coming in. On the other hand, they are rather pushy about the jobs they find for you, often well outside of the city (as opposed to *in* the city, where they are located and where I asked to work) requiring a lot of commuting expenses that they dont compensate well enough to cover. I never once received my paycheck within 5 days, nor did they bother to inform me if they never received my time sheet. This happened twice, once the week before Christmas, and both times it took me calling them to ask where I might locate the money I worked for (they dont consider resending a check until the tuesday after it shouldve been there, which means that there was a solid TEN DAYS when the company knew I worked full time but didnt feel that it was important to inform me that they had no evidence of this). I used to work for Staffing Now, who would call me if my timesheet seemed *short*, so this negligence was particularly off-putting. They never check in, they are very short and rude on the phone, and they often promise more than they can provide. If I could I would rather this be a star and a half, but since they kept me above water for December, Ill give them the full second without too much fuss. Sign up if its your last resort.

On one hand, they found me a position and were always very responsive to my emails/phone calls. On the other, they were deceptive and pushy. The positives: sent Monument my resume and got a response from Hannah the very same day. Arranged to visit the agency and was impressed by how efficient and approachable they were. They did get me a job, one which I currently still hold. The negatives: I had made clear I was not looking for a temp position as I already had a job when I began searching with them. Despite this, they only set me up with an interviews for a temp positions. In order to get me to accept, they lied to me -- neglecting to mention I was in competition with another temp for 1 position and promising it was only temp for 2 weeks because the manager was away. In the end, I am gainfully hired. However, the story could have just as easily ended poorly and I cannot help but feel slightly mistreated by Monument.

I can not say enough about monument staffing. I had the pleasure of meeting with the owner, Eric. He had reached out to me after finding my resume online. I met with him 2 days later and explained to him that I was looking for a career change and also a permanent job. Eric assured me that he could help me and thats exactly what he did. Within 4 hours he had an interview lined up for me with a position available that I was very interested in. He kept me informed of every detail and next step of this process, he even called to wish me luck the morning of my interview. Eric went as far as to call me after his work hours to tell me that I landed the job. He is extremely personable, has a wonderful personality and kept me hopeful each and every day. I cant thank Eric enough for his help in finding the job Ive been looking for!

Monument Staffing found my resume online and called me into their office. I had just moved back to Boston so even though I thought this was a little weird, I decided to give them a shot. When I went in, there was a brief interview and some paperwork filled out. Within a week or two, I was offered a two week position at a company in Back Bay. It was mind-numbing work, but they knew that, so they paid a little more than they probably should have. There were about 8 Monument Staffing temps in this company at the end of every month. I was called at the end of every month to see if I was available to go in. Monument never attempted to find me anything else, and I soon stopped working with them.

Many thanks to Shelbi and Monument Staffing! As I came out of college to pursue a professional career and leave behind food service, I dealt with a handful of staffing firms. Out of those, I entered into the most productive relationship with Monument Staffing, far and away. I was provided with more than one very relevant opportunity, for someone like myself, for resume enhancing professional office experience. The companies I temped at were hiring internally and I might have qualified to apply there, but I did not; less than a year after working with Monument I am now working for an IBM subsidiary and still not content to rest on any laurels.

Although I ended up accepting a job offer sourced independently, I had a very positive experience with Monument Staffing and would definitely recommend it to job seekers. It is not, nor should it be, an outfit that does all the work for you. Those expecting to be handed a job on a platter with no effort required should look elsewhere. But if you work with them, follow their advice on how to improve your resume and interview well, keep in touch and provide regular updates on your job search, they will deliver opportunities for you. Definitely a firm worth doing business with.

I had a very refreshing experience working with Julia Spector from this company. Although I did end up accepting a position from a privately sourced organization, Julia was with me 100% during my job hunt process, with a positive and professional attitude, and really helped me get through with minimal stress. Id really recommend her and Monument Staffing to anybody fresh out of college and perhaps lacking a bit of direction in their job search.

I was assigned to work with someone and the day I showed up, she wasnt there. I then worked with Amy who only called me once for a internship position (although I distinctively said I was looking for temp to perm jobs) that does not match anything I was looking for. After I declined that one she basically stopped contacting me and I havent heard a word from her for the past month. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

Amy Adamcin was perfect. She was the most helpful person I have ever dealt with and she really and honestly had my best interest at heart. I Moved to Boston without a job and by the end of my 1st week, I had four interviews lined up and now I have a great full time position.

I absolutely am so happy I found this agency! Amy helped me get into a position the same day I came in to interview ( it helped that I was dressed for the job I wanted) she was so direct and only gave me options that fit my needs! Highly recommended!

I met with one of their staff, reviewed my resume, covered some basics, and never heard from them again. I sent a few emails to the person I met with, but never got a reply. Pretty worthless.
