Quick results and extremely professional staff This whole experience has been positive and almost effortless for me compared to my other experiences with internship or job searches, and to be honest, this would be a very unlikely way to describe a scenario when one is unemployed and desperate. In November 2014, I was laid-off, and immediately started applying for jobs and had a few interviews. Then I applied with HT Staffing. Although the initial position I applied for had been filled before my interview with Chrystal Long. She told me that she liked my resume and thought she could definitely place me in a more fitting role than the one I applied for. She said she would hold on to my resume and would let me know if another and better opportunity came along. Naturally, I hesitated to completely believe what I thought was like the usual, discouraging line, "well keep your resume on file," but to my surprise, I was wrong. Chrystal called me a week later and told me about a temporary job opportunity to hold me over during the holidays while something better came along, and I accepted. After that, she called me again a week after and told me about an opportunity with Atkins Global. I went to the interview, and later that same day, Chrystal called me and told me that I had been offered the job. Chrystal was straight forward and supportive the entire time, wanting to hear about the interview afterwards and offering genuinely helpful advice during decision making moments. She demonstrated to me that she actually cared about me and my professional career. I am so thankful to her for all her hard work which was dedicated to getting me a job...hard work that actually led to a job opportunity, unlike all my own efforts that did not provide results. I definitely recommend HT Staffing to everyone. If it wasnt for them, I wouldnt have a good job with a great company that I am happy to have.

Short story: Chrystal wasted our time, and mislead my wife into cleaning a kitchen and clearing plates. Talked her into doing a ONE day temp position when she was looking for a full time career in the marketing field..... It is like buying a used car, except they sell people. Never using this agency again, and I want people to know why. Long story: A great named company (I will call it Company X) was looking for someone as an administrative assistant. My wife figured she might be able to get in the on the ground floor in that role, and move into something more marketing related down the line. All of this was explained in a clear and concise way to the HT Group. She was looking for the right fit in the right company, and not taking a job just for the sake of it. Her wish list never included: -A single day temporary position, covering a shift while a current employee was out. -With ZERO opportunity for growth or visibility within Company X. -Being sold a difficult position to fill, and wasting everyones time. Directly from Chrystals email to my wife: "They need help covering the front desk, answering phones, greeting guests. Check out their website at [removed]. Dress is professional" and "It is your responsibility to get us your approved timecard each week" While it is true she will be sitting at the front desk, there will be no answering phones. It also seems the janitorial duties were left out of the email, go figure. I would like to say she made a mistake, or misunderstood the requirements. But in reality Chrystal had a crap position to fill, and she misled my wife in order to fill it. Not by my choice, my wife decided to stay the entire day to help company X out. She felt bad, and the entire process was a very negative experience.

The last two years had been a roller-coaster with jobs, from not being happy with the position I was in, to being laid-off, and overall not able to reach the opportunities I felt I was worth. After sending out hundreds of applications (and that is no exaggeration), interviews that didnt lead to much (or chose not to pursue due to lack of interest), I finally received a call from the HT Group. No joke, they get straight to work! As soon as they called, we talked briefly, set up an interview, and the next day I was sitting having four different interviews with four different Staffing Managers describing my ideal job, where I saw myself and what I could bring to the table. Before I had left that day, I had already been considered for about two or three positions. Taylor, a Staffing Manager, told me she thinks Id be a perfect fit for a job she had in mind, and she got me an interview set up within the day or so. That following Monday, I was in a position Ive dreamed of having the opportunity to be in, in an Awesome working environment (my co-workers are Fantastic!), and ultimately became a full-time employee!! Seriously, if you are tired of doing the job hunt, and you feel you cant get anywhere, Go To The HT Group! It wouldve saved me a Ton of time if I knew about them to begin with.

HT Group was a referral from a friend who works in corporate HR. After asking about my experiences with other local recruiters, she urged me to call HT Group.
Two months later, happily engaged on a temp-to-hire assignment with HT Group, I easily can see why they earn rave reviews.
What has HT Group looming, head and shoulders, above other staffing firms in Austin? Its their people-first attitude thats not all talk. Rather than being dismissed as a resource, I was treated with respect, as an individual with unique talents. Julianne Lopez, in particular, amazed! She suggested a much-needed resume overhaul, going well beyond the call of duty in the process. Most importantly, she listened, coached and encouraged.
In contrast to previous experiences, I left the initial HT interview with shoulders thrown back and chin up, for the first time in months. Juliannes input reinvigorated my approach and renewed confidence. The follow-up from Chrystal Long and Krystal Matthews was equally exceptional. These ladies are as smart as they are people-savvy, and they really know their industry.
Austin, Texas, there IS no other staffing firm, not in my book. Thank you HT Group, and Julianne, in particular.

I have nothing but great things to say about HT Staffing. This is my first experience with a staffing agency. From the moment I walked into HT Staffing I received 5 star service particularly from Chrystal. When I went in to meet with Chrystal, we went over my skills, experience, and my work place preferences as well as my goals and where i saw myself in a few years. After talking with her, she ended up giving me not only a sense of confidence in my skills but helped me discover exactly what I was looking for in the "perfect job." I met with HT Staffing on a Wednesday and the following week, I was already placed for an interview. Within a matter of weeks I had an offer letter with a company I see myself growing with for years to come! Now thats faster than I had expected! The entire process was seamless and I would not have been able to do it without Chrystal! If you are needing to find a job, or taking a leap of faith like myself, definitely call HT Staffing, they are a blessing in disguise!

I reached out to Chrystal Long while in a job that I no longer wanted to be in. She was energetic and positive about opportunities and made me feel so relieved that she would find me my dream job. Only two weeks later, she proposed a job opportunity that perfectly fit with my skills and desires. She helped walk me through the entire process and whenever I felt discouraged, she would make me feel better and hopeful. I wound up getting the job and start next week. It really is a dream come true for me and would not have happened without the help of Chrystal. I owe her so much. She is not just a valuable resource. She is a friend and cheerleader for you. I wouldnt trust anyone else in this super competitive job market. I reached out to so many other staffing agents before HT and none of them ever got back to me. Chrystal, was always a phone call away and always had my back. If you want a great job in this economy, call HT and ask for Chrystal Long. You wont be sorry!
