Westaff

I was let go on a Tuesday two days before Thanksgiving. After a thorough search for jobs online and applying to so many, I was discouraged by the results. I went to one staffing agency and within minutes I was out the door, I couldn’t live off those wages. In speaking with a friend, she suggested Westaff because she knew someone that worked there. From my first visit I felt really good about the people helping me. When we discussed job opportunities, I wasn’t prepared for them to find me a position I would want to keep because of good pay and work environment. I started two dollars higher than my previous job in a very professional office for a very respectable employer. Although the position was temporary, I was informed it could lead to permanent employment. In my second week I was offered an employment opportunity somewhere else that had more long term possibilities at higher wages. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Westaff. They didn’t know it but I really needed that job when I got it assigned to me and a two dollar jump over my last job that I had been living off for a year. I should also comment on that my fellow temps assigned with me on the «project» were all really good to work with and really seemed like good people. I give them five stars for my experience; I think you need to help them help you. MJC

I was contacted by Mark in the Owoss, MI office about a position in Flint. After filling out the online paperwork and taking the ProveIt tests, a week passed without any word. I finally called and he hadn’t even looked at the results yet. I was told he was busy and if I didn’t hear from him by the end of the day, I should call hi back. I did not hear from him and chose to write this off as a VERY BAD customer service experience.

My experience with the Lansing Westaff office has been great. Mark Joseph is very accommodating and friendly. He happily worked around my wedding, honeymoon, a few vacations, and holidays. I worked a couple of longer term jobs and a few short terms jobs. Between jobs, Mark was able to schedule interviews for permanent positions.
I haven’t worked with a different temp agency so I don’t have anything to compare Westaff to, but I’ve been satisfied. I think my experience has been so positive because of Mark Joseph. I haven’t really interacted with any other employees so all of my feedback is based solely on his performance as a staffing coordinator.

I moved to Lansing from Chicago to live with my fiancé having no real job prospects. I had heard that Westaff was great at placing people so I filled out an online application and waited to hear from them.
My only minor criticism was that I never heard from an actual person at Westaff to confirm they’d received my application and we actively trying to find a position for me.
But that turned out to not matter at all! One morning I received a call from Mark Joseph saying he had a job for me, but that I would need to interview the next day and start my job the day after that… if that was ok. Of course that was ok!
My placement was a good, well-​paying administrative position at a hospital. After working there for 8 weeks, I took two weeks off… got married… and before I could even call Mark to say I was ready for my next assignment, he contacted me to say that the hospital wanted me back for another 8 weeks!
After completing that assigment, I had logged enough hours to be hired away from Westaff and into the hospital. The hospital needed me to stay so they hired me on as an official employee and I couldn’t be happier.
When I spoke to Mark about my new job, he couldn’t have been more gracious and let me know that if I ever needed his services again, I shouldn’t hesitate to call.
My experience with the Lansing Westaff was wonderful and I would recommend them to anyone!
