Manpower

Amazing candidate experience. Welcoming staff, knowledgeable recruiters, and lots of open jobs relative to my administrative expertise. Thank you for a refreshing employment agency experience! I confident that Manpower will be a great resource for me in my job search!

I basically agree with Tim C. I feel that it’s a useless place if you need work.

I was interviewed by Manpower in February or March of 2014 and they said they could have gotten me a job within two weeks after my appointment with them. After a week, I called them and they said they’ll let me know when they get a job for me. Two weeks later, they said the same thing. I believe I called a third time at least a month after that appointment, and I still got a response along the lines of «we’ll let you know when we have a job for you.»
Now it’s May, about two months after I had my appointment with them, and I still haven’t gotten a call and they haven’t done anything to help me find a job of any sort. It’s not like I wanted a specific job. I said I would have been willing to work at almost any place they could offer. Still, they couldn’t find one place for me after all these weeks, and haven’t bothered to contact me.
Pretty unhappy with this place.
I’ll give them an extra star because their office building is clean and nice.

I was laid off last year by a company I’d worked at for 12 years. The last year has been a struggle to find work, even with all my experience, and I was getting very frustrated and worried. Two weeks ago, I answered an online ad for a company that was staffing through Manpower. They arranged an interview with me.
My first interactions with them was with Frewini, who contacted me and set up the appointment. She was very friendly and patient. I’ve talked to her several times since, both on the phone and through email, and she’s been delightful through each step.
My interview was with Betsey, who was extremely courteous, but gave me some very honest feedback and advice on my resume. She pointed out the reasons why I probably wasn’t getting much traction in my job search, and gave me pointers on what I needed to focus on. She had me go home and write up a new one right away. I took her advice to heart and submitted it to her email that night.
Within two days, I got a surprise scheduling of an interview with the company I’d applied for through Manpower. Everything seemed to go quite well. I contacted Betsey again right after to go over things with her. The next day, she got back to me saying they’d like a second interview with me the following week.
After my interview on Monday, I felt very confident, and a lot of my confidence had been built by Betsey and, later, Nicole at Manpower. By the end of Monday, Nicole had called me to tell me that a job had been offered. She worked at getting me the paperwork I needed to sign off on, answered my questions while I anxiously awaited all the final details, and followed-​up every step along the way.
Obviously, the assistance I got from Manpower worked out very well for me. I start in my new position in a couple weeks, and I have a far better understanding of how to display my skills on my resume in the future. But, most of all, I really appreciate the level of service and support from everyone there. They were friendly, helpful, and genuinely seemed interested in getting me back to work. I could not be happier or more grateful for their help.
