Accentuate Staffing

I recently contacted Accentuate Staffing at the suggestion of N.C. Works. I am new to North Carolina and needed some help finding a job. I am a well educated woman with many excellent transferable skills that can easily be applied to a variety of positions.
I called Accentuate and was referred to Laura Turner who was responsible for filling the position I was interested in. I left her a voice mail and asked her to return my call. She didn’t. The following day I called again and spoke with Laura. She was very curt and told me that she had interviews that day and would call me back tomorrow. She didn’t. It has now been nearly a week, and Laura has never bothered to return my call.
The reason I contacted Accentuate was to seek help in finding employment. The purpose of Accentuate Staffing is to assist people in finding employment. A good recruiter takes the time to meet with or at least speak to a client to learn more about their work experience, professional interests, strengths, skills, and employment goals. Only in this way can the recruiter be effective in finding the best placement for the client.
In addition, a recruiter who does not follow through with clients is also doing a great disservice to the companies who have entrusted him or her with the responsibility of sourcing the best qualified candidates to fill their positions. A recruiter should never discount a client by making a snap judgement and making inaccurate assumptions about that individual. Neither should a recruiter ever be rude to a client and make promises he or she has no intention of keeping.
I was extremely disappointed in the service or lack thereof that I received from this agency. This particular recruiter is in the wrong profession. Her interpersonal skills are abominable, and she is not doing her job. Even if she felt that I was not qualified for the position in question, she made absolutely no attempt to explore other options, nor did she have the courtesy to even return a phone call.
If this is the calibre of employee who works for Accentuate Staffing, it is most unfortunate. I would not recommend this agency to anyone, and I will also inform N.C. Works of the poor service that I received. As for the recruiter, she’d better get her act together fast because other wise she may find herself on the other side of the desk.

I am a small business owner. These guys refused to help. Sad. They told me on the phone that my business wasn’t worth their time. Granted it wasn’t going to be a 100k in billing — but every bit of 6K in a week. So if you are a small business — don’t waste your time. Very disappointed.

This is one of the best staffing agencies that I have ever worked with. They were very professional and the recruiters are friendly. They sent me out on multiple interviews with several reputable companies that offered great pay and benefits. I accepted a great position after the third interview. I highly recommend them.
