I have nothing more than to say that PSG Staffing provided me with the ideal job I was seeking within DAYS. For about a month I had been seeking employment on my own, with various interviews along the way. Unfortunately none of those interviews were fruitful and thats when I decided to seek the assistance of PSG Staffing. They were very friendly, professional, and detail-oriented. I set up an appointment to interview with one of the staff members; she informed me that there were many opportunities available and with my background in higher education, and I would not have too much difficulty seeking employment. To ease the employment seeking process I was invited to join their Guaranteed Work Program and came into their office the following week. This on-call program placed me on the top of the list for any potential last-minute employment opportunity. Though I was not assigned anywhere that day, I was pulled to the side later that afternoon and informed about a job opportunity available. Within two days, I had an interview set-up. Went in, interviewed, and within two hours received a phone call from PSG notifying me that the employer wanted me to start immediately the following week. Ive been working for more than two weeks now and love it! Now, with that being said, not one person is a complete reflection of their overall performance. They are there to assist you in finding a job. There is no guarantee that theyll be able to find you a job within a certain time period and because of this, people shouldnt bash on them when they are unable to find a perfect match for you. Keep in mind that the demand for jobs may be greater than the supply available. With that being said, its important to note that a lot of it has to deal with YOUR credentials. They are only facilitators. The most important part of it all, is what you have to offer to potential employers. They help get your foot in the door, but it your responsibility that you cross the path on your own. Though there are a number of negative responses on here, you should still go ahead and seek their assistance. YOU HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE! Keep in mind that each individuals experience is unique. I almost did not get in contact with them because of the negative reviews but decided to go ahead; I had nothing to lose. If I had listened to the reviews posted on here, I would probably still be unemployed and miserable. Dont just stand back, take the initiative. (And no, this message was not written by any staff members of PSG; it is an authentic message written by someone who is grateful of PSG and their celerity in finding an ideal position for me.)

Please believe me when I tell you this firm isnt worth your time. I applied to a Administrative Manager position and was contacted to come in and meet with a rep. When I went in, they immediately wanted me to fill out temp paperwork even though I expressed that I wasnt interested in temping. The receptionist was nice and said no problem. Then I met with Jeb. Oh Jeb..... He proceeds to tell me that he isnt able to find every person a job but he is here as a resource. He gives me the typical "Id love to introduce you to to my colleagues when we are done." He tells me this several times throughout my interview. I have a MBA from a top tier university and 8 years of experience yet he tells me he isnt sure if I have enough experience...?? He explains that he has gone through my background in depth yet asks me to go through my resume bullet by bullet. Fine, I think maybe he just wants to be sure I can articulate myself properly. He explains that he has nothing that will be good for me now but will keep checking in with me. I ask him specifically about the position I applied for and he said "That position is a net we cast to fill our candidate pool. In the future, dont apply to these positions." Then he tells me not to be selective and that I should be applying to "anything and everything so maybe you can get 3 interviews a week". Then he gets up, shakes my hand and walks out. Seriously people, if you are looking for a new position dont go here. Kennison and Associates or Beacon Hill are much better and they actually know what they are doing. Best of luck!

Avoid this at all costs!! This agency will not help you! I have worked with other hiring agencies that have given me very good results, however, this is not one of them. First thing is they really do lie. All of the jobs they post of craigslist do not exist, talk about false advertisements. Also the thing to remember is that you technically work for them as a "contract" hire. This basically means that if they do place you its PSG that pays you. Keep that in mind because they will drive down your wages as much as they can. I specifically told my recruiter I wanted a full time job at no less than 40k. I went to college and I have experience and I needed something to pay the bills since living in a city is so expensive. She smiled and gave told me she had three positions that would be a perfect match. **I went to those interviews and some of them were with prestigious entities. However, 2 of those interviews were "informational" and had no position available at all. She neglected to tell me this until the day of my interview. They did offer me a position but as a YEAR long contract with no benefits, no sick time, no vacation, hourly (and less hours in December), and at 32k. After taxes it was barely enough to pay my bills and living expenses. Average amount of pay for my field is 45k. Avoid this place because they lie to you about positions. Im going to file a complaint with the better business bureau, I suggest people with similar experiences to do the same.

I dont normally write reviews, however, I felt compelled to share my positive story, given all of the negative reviews Im seeing here. Ive been unemployed since October of 2016, so for about 4-5 months. I am highly educated with nearly a decade of professional experience. On a whim, I decided to reach out to PSG to look for work. I contacted them last Friday (one week ago from today). I was immediately scheduled for a meeting in their office for the following Tuesday, at which time I met with Mike Conte (interesting coincidence, we both come from the same professional background). Before I left from our meeting, Mike already had two different opportunities lined up for me. The following day, I told Mike to go ahead and submit my name for one of those opportunities. Within two hours, I received a phone call to set up an in-person interview with the company that coming Friday (today). I had an interview prep meeting via phone on Thursday, and met with the employer today. Three hours after my interview, I was offered the job. I start on Monday. So, to put it short, PSG helped me identify, apply, interview, and ultimately land a great new job at a national firm - all within one weeks time. Many of the reviews here call PSG a "scam", staffed by liars. I am sorry that was your experience, but for me, PSG took me from a point where I was ready to give up, to employed with an opportunity for advancement. I would HIGHLY recommend them.
