Motus Recruiting & Staffing

When I decided to bring on my first employee I didn’t want the hassle of figuring out payroll and all the various tax things that go along with it. Motus came highly recommended from a friend and they have not disappointed. I’ve been using Motus for payrolling services for my employee for a few months now and it’s all going smoothly. I can focus my expertise on the parts of my business that I love and leave the payroll stuff to Motus. On the occasion that I have had questions, someone from their team always got back to me in a timely manner.

The staff at Motus Recruiting is awesome! They are very responsive to emails. Sarah Boothby is who my recruiter. She keeps in touch and ask how my assignment is going, whether it is working out. I definitely recommend Sarah to anyone in the area looking for a recruiter.

I’ve given Motus 5 stars because they were as good to me as it gets for both temporary and temp-​to-​hire positions. I worked with Sarah Boothby, who was always very responsive, informative, and friendly. Even the places that hired me through her raved about wonderful she is to work with. As someone who has held lots of admin type roles, I was always surprised at how «on it» Motus’ admin support staff were, whether it was a reminder to submit my hours, helping me re-​submit something, or answering a random question, they were incredibly warm and efficient. They also took time to visit every location I worked through them by checking-​in, bringing treats, and making sure to show that their temp staff’s hard work is really appreciated. I’ve worked with a lot of agencies over the years and the many places I’ve lived– what really sets Motus apart (and why I always recommend them) is that they really work hard to make a time of work transition as stress-​free and fun as can be.

Motus was great to work with.
I was looking for work in the Portland area and applied to a posting I found through Motus. I interviewed with a Motus recruiter, Sarah Boothby, who was wonderful to work with, and then with the company she was representing.
It was a smooth process that took about a month from when I submitted my application to when I started my job. I was kept in the loop throughout the whole process, which hasn’t been my experience when dealing with some of the other recruiters in the Portland area.
I’m still with the same company and glad I went though Motus!

I had a very positive experience with Motus.
Tifhani was my contact person and was really «on the ball» in terms of staying in touch and finding the right assignment for me. I landed a stint at Nike (there were several others from Motus there as well) and I am glad I had the experience. I had heard a lot about Nike (good and bad) and I was pleased to find it was not a place for me and I would not otherwise have found this out.
I did land a job on my own which did not work out and I am going back to Motus. Tifhani responded to my email the same day. And I have met her in person several times.
I do recommend Motus and was surprised RS had a bad experience. But then again I did have a horrible experience with a different Lake Oswego staffing business who believe themselves to be a gem!

In 15 years of providing contract work, Motus is easily the worst recruiter I’ve been affiliated with.
— made multiple payroll errors, some of which took over a week to resolve.
— I never met a Motus employee, even though their offices were within 10 miles of my contract placement.
–Beware: unlike most recruiting agencies, Motus provides no benefits or perks of any kind.
Given how hungry recruiters are for business in this economy, I’d advise any employer or contractor to look for an agency who is more focused on providing a better relationship.

Motus Recruiting & Staffing has provided me with the best experience possible. Their staff is outgoing, personable, and results driven. After personally looking for employment for EIGHT months, Motus received my resume through an employment ad they had posted, two weeks after I was given the opportunity to interview to work with one of my top 5 dream organizations. Motus gives you opportunity and drives to place you in the position you deserve. Beyond the job opportunity I was given, I can also vouch for the impeccable communication, from email responses to honest and transparent information. I would recommend anyone looking for employment contact Motus Recruiting & Staffing, YOU WON’T REGRET IT! :)
