Barrington Staffing Services

Where do I start? Janet and Myra are fabulous! I’d been a stay at home mom for 8 years and they used my previous work experience and helped me with temporary work and now I have a job! They, Janet and Myra, are professional and caring and they were happy for me. Janet called and told me I got the job and Myra called just to say Congratulations! How’s that for a staffing company. I went to Apple staffing the same day I went to Barrington and never received a phone call even after I called them. Thank you both for all of your help, support and believing in me!

It should be clear that this company is not like Apple One or any «head hunting» business as they say. They interview people and submit candidates to local companies.
I submitted my resume was called in for an interview. It was pretty normal. Computer assessment and a sit down. The biggest positive for this company is that they are honest in that they will not communicate with you, it is up to you to update with them. The downer is that there is no guarantee if you will be accepted for a position, so you wait and wait and wait.
I ended up getting a full time position with a company on my own. This is a small company with some nice people running it. It is worth giving it a shot but not if you are in a time crunch…

Myra and Janet bust themselves to help! Great ladies, very compassionate and totally supportive.
Highly recommended.

I’ve only had great experiences with Barrington. The recruiters are genuinely kind, caring and very professional. They’ll call me when there is a suitable position for me, return my calls on a timely manner, and respond to my emails the same day. I’ve dealt with many job agencies in the past, and Barrington is far the best!
I’d recommend them to all job seekers! Mayra and Janet you are AWESOME! Keep up the good work!

I’ve had a great experience so far, I got an interview pretty quick. I’m still working. The only ccomplaint I have is my paycheck coming late, but keep in mind this is the first time that it’s happened. But other than that, nothing but good things to say about them.

Terrible. One of the recruiters reached out to me to come in and said I am very placeable based on my experience so I go in to interview and test for almost two hours, only for her to never follow up with me. When I called to check in, «no positions.» Very tacky and no follow through. Overall just wack. Don’t waste your time.

Very helpful, and they were able to find me a job quickly close to my house! Thanks!

This place is a JOKE! They can’t get their act together to save their life! Apparently, a job was very interested in me, which was great news! This employer wanted to do a «second» interview. However, they wanted my references… alright, no problem. Barrington FAILED to inform me that they were having a hard time getting my references. Almost TWO WEEKS had PAST when the employer called for the second interview and for the references! If Barrington had called me the first day that they had an issue with getting my references, I would of been able to get Barrington any reference they wanted! I had letters from employers, recommendations from clients, and I could of personally called past employers to get the ball rolling to have them fax, or call Barrington! But because Barrington just sat on it, and was not proactive, and did not go the extra mile, of informing me of the problem… They COST ME THE JOB because of their LACK OF STAYING ON TOP OF THINGS!!!
Then to make matters worse, they placed with a crappy temp job with a crazy, bipolar boss (after losing the job, I really wanted) every week, I would call to get a status of how the employer thought I was doing, etc., finally on the eve of my 3^rd month (end of my probation period) I overhear my employer talking to Barrington (I couldn’t hear word for word. but I heard «Janet» and «Barrington» so I knew they spoke) so an hour later in the morning… I called Janet at Barrington to ask for feedback… and she completely LIED to me on the phone… telling me she never SPOKE to the employer! Well come 5:25pm (I’m already driving home from work) Janet calls to inform me she has bad news… that the «assignment» has been cancelled! Now, I’m pretty sure SHE KNEW OF THIS «CANCELLATION» IN THE MORNING WHEN I CALLED! She could of told me then… instead of having me work the entire day… when I could of spent my time on better things, like pounding the pavement… looking for a NEW JOB!
STAY AWAY… THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT THE EMPLOYEE… ONLY THE CLIENT!!! They will not back you, they will not have your best interest at heart, they only care about the bottom dollar, because you are their meal ticket. Plus the way do business is very old fashioned… everything is done by snail-mail…timecards MUST be mailed, paychecks are mailed, EVERYTHING is done by the mail. Apparently they are not aware of the internet or any type of technology advances…

As far as staffing agencies goes, Barrington Staffing is great. I visited the Burbank location to fill out an application for a position posted on Craigslist. The position was in Santa Monica, and though they mostly have jobs posted in the 818/​Burbank/​Valley area, they occasionally have a need from Westside employers.
I spoke with Gaby on the phone, but had my interview with Janet. Janet is super sweet, and KIND! I couldn’t believe how nice she was. They were having a very busy day, and she treated me professionally, but also humanely. Which is saying alot, especially for a business like this when people are in and out every half hour.
I didn’t get the job I applied for, but true to her word, Janet contacted me to let me know. I’m hoping to be able to work with them in the future.
If you live in the Burbank area and want to be treated like a human, contact Gaby and Janet at Barrington!

Since moving back to Los Angeles last year, I have had a great relationship with Barrington Staffing in Burbank. Janet and Gaby have been incredible representatives by finding me assignments. They are, in my opinion, Diamonds in the Rough. Thank you Barrington for keeping me busy during these rough economic times. If anyone is looking for a temp agency, please contact this Barrington Staffing in Burbank and speak to either Janet or Gaby and mention me as a referral.
