A friends mother referred me to them, informed me of their great jobs that were high paying and friendly. Upon applying their, the office manager was extremely rude and told me that I did not have the skill set I claimed to have on my resume (this was verifiable by simply contacting my previous employers) and then telling me she couldnt place me because of that. 2 weeks after that I received a phone call about a position that I was most certainly interested in. Close to home, pay was good, overtime. Calling back I was told the position would not be offered to me but a different one was available 45 minutes away for the same pay. Naturally I took the position as a job is a job and I needed one. After 3 injuries at the temp job in question, being lied to about the hours that I could and would be able to work, my pay being taken (they actually charge you for your own drug test. Highly unheard of in the temp position world), I finally had had enough. I informed the recruiter of my deciding to leave and pursue a better employment opportunity elsewhere. It was then that I noticed they hadnt paid me for the time worked, only half of what was due. I attempted contacting them and was told the pay would be in my account the following pay period, 1 week from the day. Never asked the hours I worked (that was the reason why they hadnt paid me) so naturally the following week I was not paid. Again. The world is mid range pay, bordering poverty. The job is NOT what they say it is, and they are very rude to speak with. Actually threatened to fire me after I was called in by the US Army for paperwork concerning a predeployment screening. It was then determined that my hours would be cut, almost as a reprimand for having to do the duty I enlisted for. I would stay far, far away from this company if at all possible.

After some really bad experiences at other staffing agencies (I’m sure you can guess), a friend of a friend referred me to HTSS. He said that HTSS would take the time to find a good fit for me and I wouldn’t have to be thrown into any more sketchy situations. I scheduled an appointment with HTSS, arrived on time and dressed well (just in case I met with anyone—you never know!) I filled out the application, completed some basic computer testing, and after a brief wait was able to meet with someone who explained that although they did not have work for me at the moment, they would keep my application on hand. I was skeptical, but figured where was no harm waiting. I was surprised when I received a call a couple weeks later regarding an open assistant position at a firm not too far from my home. Of course, I had to set up another appointment to meet with my recruiter and go over the details of my job description, location, schedule, etc. but I was more than happy to! Throughout my time with HTSS, Inc. I felt like I was in good hands. My recruiter went out of her way to find a job that was a good fit for my skills and personality, and even let me know about other opportunities for professional development. I am grateful that I found a dedicated and professional staffing service where work ethic was the standard, not the exception.

I also, would give this agency zero stars if I were able. As one reviewer stated, I was penalized during the blizzard of 2008 because I could not get my car out of my driveway (which was located at basement level to the street). They told me I should have shoveled it out the evening before, when shoveling wasnt even the issue. I ended up having my neighbor video tape my effort to get my car out as evidence. They ended up firing me because I received a subpeona to report to court. Since I didnt show up at the job site, they terminated me. I advised them that the employer was aware of the court date, and they were left a message informing them as well. Both the employer and HTSS declined any knowledge of this, and unfortunately the email that was sent was from the employer email which I now was not able to access. They fought my unemployment claim, and when appealed, the referee said he had no reason to believe me over them, even though I brought the court documents. These people are crooks and downright dirty. The recruiter that I dealt with is Karen, but she spelled it differently, maybe Karin or Caren, I cant remember. She is a nasty woman. Stay away from this place!

Absolutely horrible!!! Not worth the time to fill out the application. Husband was working there and they placed him at a great company with an awesome team atmosphere. He recently hurt his back at home and made sure to contact HTSS to fill them in on the situation....the temp coordinator assigned to my husband asked him to go and get a release from the doctor allowing him back to work. When he got all the paperwork together required it took three days to contact the temp coordinator to get information on getting him back to work. To the point where my husband was forced to contact the client company directly to inform them of the situation. Only to receive a call from the temp coordinator (who was upset because she was contacted by the client company and they proceeded to (in her words) chew her out) and she in turn took that issue personally and decided to let my husband go all because she got in trouble. She wouldnt answer his calls and it actively looked like she was dodging him entirely. So in the end. Save yourself the trouble and stay away from a company like this. IMKO is a good company as well as aerotek.

There are only superlatives to describe my HTSS, Inc. experience: Each one of the ladies exhibits courteous, professional and trustworthy demeanour of the highest order. From registration through assignation and placement, each of the steps is handled politely and efficiently by everyone on this team of professionals. The roster of companies from which assignments and projects are chosen is broad, exciting and diverse. Each of the staff personnel makes herself accessible to answer questions and to address concerns that may arise, regarding scheduling, placements and unforeseen issues. The provision of coffee gratis in the waiting area contributes to the overall ambience of friendly professionalism. I have been assigned to a nationally reputed company through HTSS and I state without reservation, that this agency is in the first rank of temporary staffing companies in the Lehigh Valley.

Absolute horrible experience. I worked there nearly a month ago and still cant get my check. They claim they mailed it out and say that it got lost in the mail. And if I want it I have to pay 35 dollars so they can do a stop payment. But they have no evidence that they did in fact mail it out. I did not tell them to mail the check. They did that on their own. When I contacted the manager of the office she actually at one point laughed when I asked if she would be upset if she didnt receive her check. Her response was she would never be in my position because she would not have let her check get mailed out. Since they refuse to fix the situation I am currently attempting to contact the labor board, better business bureau, and also a local news station because I have found out that this is a common occurrence and I am no where near the only one.
