If you wish to edit your information please visit My Profile Section WHAT OUR CANDIDATES ARE SAYING ... The company received my application and called me within 2 hours. Then I got an interview within 2 days. I met with my recruiter who definitely understood and took the time to listen and I am now working for a family-owned company for 4+ months and they are very pleased with my work. I am very thankful to Selective Staffing. Thankfully, Laura Holakowski at Selective Staffing Solutions helped me in finding a new career. Diligently researching different job opportunities to match my career goals, she placed me at a job where I can excel. I am grateful and highly recommend this agency. This is the first temp agency I have ever applied for a job with. I was placed in a position within 3 weeks after months of not finding a position on my own and I have been at my current assignment for almost a year. My recruiter has been great as well. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a professional temp position. I worked with Mitch and he was awesome! He always updated me on what was going on and was there if I had any questions or concerns. He was also very helpful in preparing for the interviews and made sure I knew what to ask and how to respond to certain questions, it really made the interviews go a lot easier for me. I have recommended Selective to many of my friends and they have found great careers just like me! I ve dealt with many hiring agencies and I would have to say that my best experience was with Selective Staffing. Their entire staff is very professional, and they really care about getting you a job that s just right for you. I couldn t believe how fast I got a job offer after so many months of looking on my own and never hearing back from anyone!! (less than two weeks!!)” I had applied to 3 different temp agencies to try and jumpstart a career. Two of which wanted to send me to a collections position. I chose to work with Laura and she listened to everything I said and before I walked out the door she had a place in mind to potentially send me to. Every e-mail or phone call question I had was answered within an hour every time and I had many. I was a little hesitant to join Selective Staffing as a temporary employee. I used to think that this kind of thing was the lazy way of getting a job. Boy was I wrong. They took my resume and turned into a work of art. 2 days later I received a call for an interview with one of the local banks and I got hired. If it wasn t for them, I would have never gotten hired for one of the best jobs with great benefits for me and my family. I moved to the Buffalo area from down south and I gave Selective Staffing a call. Stefanie, my recruiter, was great. She made me feel like she really cared about finding me a job that would be a lasting fit. The end result was a wonderful job with great people. I was hired immediately and was able to remain in the Buffalo area. I came to Selective Staffing Solutions because I needed help searching and applying for a new job due to being laid off from my former employer. Everyone at this company/agency helped me tremendously. They were kind, helpful and determined to help me through the application process.
