Elwood Staffing

Employment Trends is not sexy. It doesn’t have the chic vibe of something like Boly Welch. You will complete mountains of paperwork for hours and then do a drug test, which consists of peeing in a cup and then HANDING YOUR CUP OF PEE to the person you’ve been politely chatting with for their inspection.
But you will get work, and that’s what matters.
In fact, I got a gig right at my interview, for the very next day! It was a one-​day gig changing lightbulbs, but still. Money.
They called me for a couple more opportunities that didn’t work out for various reasons, but a month or so later, they got me another one-​day gig at an office, which turned into two days. On the second day, my recruiter called and offered me a temp-​to-​hire position at an office from which I type this very review.
So, needless to say, they’re very good at what they do. My recruiter, Kara, was very nice and worked round the clock for me without me lifting a finger (none of this email your availability every week business). Maybe I just got lucky, but as far as I’m concerned this is the place to start (and maybe finish!) your Portland job search.
