Emerald Staffing

The worst recruiting place I have ever been interviewed at. The lady that interviewed me had no idea what she was talking about she wouldn’t even go through an interview process all she wanted to do was take minor things off my resume, write on it and tell me what I need to change on my resume had nothing to do with the job that they had me drive over an hour to get interviewed for! She then told me that I was not qualified for the position that they had me drive over there to interview for I asked her well what does it entail she then proceeded to tell me the exact definition of a Marketing Manager I’ve been pointed out to her that I have been doing those exact things you just spoke of ⁴⁄₄ years and then she still said that is something different I then asked how is that something different? I’ve been asked you just told me what the job entails and I just showed you that I have done that through my other marketing jobs and you can even contact them she would then not continue and says you need to work on your resume and that you would be more fit for a sales position when I have been a manager for multiple different companies including being a outside marketing manager for another. These recruiting places are hiring uneducated people to try to fill jobs for company’s that they nothing about. Companies that actually want reliable with experience in that field should not use emerald staffing as a recruiting agency because they don’t even go over an interview process how can you find the right fit for a company if the interviewer is not even interviewing.

After being contacted for a job I didn’t think I was the best fit for I reluctantly went in for my «interview» thinking that I could at least get a good temp contract. Sadly all the negative reviews are spot on. Tiny office with young condescending recruiters asking you broad stroke questions within earshot of 5 other recruiters. I guess what I’m saying is I went in with really low expectations and they still managed to disappoint me. Maybe all the people raving about them are real people with success stories, but I’m fairly sure I just went into a database as a sales force lead never to be contacted again. A waste of time for everyone.

Great local people connected me with an amazing local small business!!! I had very specific needs and they matched me perfectly with my new employers.

I went to Emerald after applying at three other staffing agencies. Emerald consistently sent me on more interviews. Cory and Katy are awesome and Cory ended up giving me some really informative, professional advice which helped me land an amazing job. I truly don’t believe I would have been hired without Emerald’s help. They are always positive, professional, and genuinely interested in what they can do to help you succeed. I highly recommend their services! You won’t be sorry if you go to Emerald.

Very professional, very friendly, pleasant experience. Look to this staff for any help finding employment, they are wonderful!

This was my second time trying to use Emerald for employment opportunities. Same as the first time, after they have you come into their very loud office where none of their «recruiters» even have cubicles its just one large area in the open and you can hear everyone’s business. There is no follow up or follow through. Its always you checking in with a recruiter and waiting days for a reply. They get you excited about potential openings then no follow through. I took a contract through Volt Staffing… second time with them, they had me placed in about two weeks and always emailed back within 24 hours. Emerald Staffing is an unorganized joke

This place is a JOKE, if I were an employer I would can their sorry *sses. Called me in for an interview, the guy was not professional at all. They wanted to do a background check on me before they would do anything else. When I asked about the company that was looking to fill the position I was told «oh, I can tell you about it later». Well later never came and the guy blew me off and ignored me basically. Don’t waste your time with these morons.

Was led to believe there was a sales job that was not the same after I arrived for interview. Sat with 2 people and they told me that they would get busy finding me a job. I asked if I should follow up with them in a week or so or would they get in touch with me. They said they were excited to work with me and would follow up. I heard NOTHING back from them. Do not waste your time interviewing with them– Use the worksource in Tualatin. They have updated, higher paying jobs and help. This was a waste of my time.

I went to their website and followed the instruction of emailing my resume. I then was going to go and fill out the application online, but thought against it as they are not anyone that I’ve heard of; further, it says on their site the following:
If you are not comfortable registering online, you are certainly welcome to complete the application process in our office. Please contact Brooke to schedule an appointment. 503.941.4788.
I called and explained that I was not comfortable with filling out my app online and would like to make an appointment. The young lady tells me that it is required to fill out the application. I asked if I had to do it online? She says «no». I say «this is why I’m calling; to make an appointment.» She then says, its required to fill out an application. It was a bad scenario of «who’s on first»; I just hung up on her.
I guess she thought that I didn’t want to fill out an application period. But, who does that? If you’re applying for a job, you fill out an application! All I can say is WOW!

This agency contacted me for a position and I was very excited to work with a local business. I arrived 5 minutes early for my initial screening and did not have to wait more than 15 minutes.
The interviewer was nice and addressed my concerns about age discrimination as well as the stigma now attached to being unemployed. I left feeling hopeful.
Sadly, my positive first impression was slowly eroded to not being able to recommend this company to anyone. The biggest annoyance was finding a position in which I was interested, contacting my initial interviewer as well as the person who was posting the position and receiving absolutely NO response from anyone.
I tried to make contact via telephone AND email, leaving voice mails and messages with the receptionist. I made several attempts for several posted positions — all for naught. Additionally, I do not believe they are on top of keeping their open job postings current.
This company is very unprofessional and seems very poorly run and managed. Stay away from this company if you are unemployed because the people have no true interest in helping anyone find a job.
