JWilliams Staffing Company

Not impressed. I am a management company trying to give them business and they are unresponsive. I have attempted to contact them on 3 different occasions by phone, email and website and to no avail. Not the best way to start out a business parternship. I’ll try elsewhere. If I do get a response, I’ll update review, but a return call to a potential customer is a very basic requirement for doing business, so far they havn’t been able to do that.

It was a great experience with JWilliams in Southern California. I recently moved from San Francisco Bay Area to Orange County; my work experience in the last 10 years was in the New Home industry. Through a friend’s referral, I connected with Jessica, Senior VP of JWilliams Southern California Division. She immediately set up appointment to meet me and walked me through the New Home industry down South. She also told me that she would call around the builders to find the right match for me. After a week, I got appointment from her to meet the builder. During the process, Jessica also help on transferring my resume to the builder in a timely manner.
Jessica is very detail oriented, very professional and willing to help; she set me the right expectation so I have no surprised. I truly recommend Jessica & JWilliams. — KC —

My experience with JWilliams Staffing to date, has been excellent. Jessica has been nothing but professional. She has a positive attitude and is a joy to work with. She takes time to really get to know each applicant. Her attention to detail and dedication is why she stands out and serves as a testament to what JWS stands for. She deals with several applicants on a daily basis but always finds time to reply to my inquiries. As far as the staff, the ones I’ve dealt with have been first rate. In today’s economic climate, jobs are still scarce. Having an advocate like Jessica and JWS definitely helps.

JWilliams Staffing is great company. I don’t care what anyone says, Jessica is amazing. Jessica is very professional, caring, and very understanding. Jessica takes her time with her clients, knowing she has tons of applicants, she still responds to emails and return phone calls. My experience so far has been wonderful. The staff is always courteous and tentative. Jobs are hard to find. If you have the right team providing their time and effort, you can’t fail, you will successfully succeed. I appreciate everything Jessica has done for me. Jessica stands behind her company, product, morals, and value of JWilliams Staffing.

They refuse to pay for their orientation/​training, even though it’s mandatory and payment is the law. When I asked about this, I received a very rude response and they refused to set me up with a time card. I even contacted a labor attorney who said they are wrong, yet, nothing. Also, I did everything they told me to, down to the gnats ass, and after 6 weeks have received «O, zero, zilch» hours of work. They demand you move your RE license to them, which means you can’t work unless they provide it. And they don’t provide work. Wish I knew how they stay in business. If I could give them «Zero» stars I would.

J Williams Staffing is a horrible place to work! Unprofessional. They promise to place you and that is a lie. Their pay is lower than any other Temp job, they are so unorganized they call you to work when you are already on assignment, they call you to check in daily when you have already checked in… this is constantly. The most professional person who worked there Quit because of all the complaints. Do not work for them go with another company. This company does not care about the employees.

Oh Geez! I have been on both sides of the fence. I have used J Williams staffing when I was on-​site as a property manager. I found a WONDERFUL employee through them who had just started in the industry. They trained her and she is still working at the original property 2 years later. She has also been promoted since her hire. They recognize good talent and will place you to work if you show promise. I have never been disappointed with any of the help they have sent me.
I also signed up with J Williams when i was looking for a job. I was sent out on temp assignments and for interviews under their division that looks for permanent hires. I was hired by the company they paired me with and I could not be happier.
Claudine is in fact busy, but she will call you back. I got a call after 5:30 or 6:00 once but I was looking for a job. Heck yeah I am gonna answer my phone no matter the time. I had to be a little flexible, but again, I WAS LOOKING for a job. I have always been treated with respect. As a side note: whenever I have applied on-​line for a job, I have always had to provide my social security number as well as my DL#. That request is not unreasonable. This is a legitimate company. No shady, sketchy behavior from them.
After reading the previous Unilocal reviews about this company I am seriously considering not trusting Unilocal anymore.

I think it is strange how they want your social security number right online. Other applications I fill out online never ask for my social security number. Even a driver’s license number I do not have a problem with, but a social security number is going too far online. I felt very uncomfortable filling out the job application and just decided to not even finish it.

I did get assigned after a mix up with the Client !!, But it was 2 hours away and nobody seemed to care how far I had to drive. Also worked two weeks and still looking fo my pay check .I took a real job so i did not continue the temp one.

My experience has been the opposite. I signed with J. Williams in November of 2013 after meeting with Claudine (yes in Burbank) and within two weeks, was on an on-​going assignment. Since then I’ve worked at over 14 properties and even turned down offers of employment from a couple properties because I like the flexibility of temping.
I’ve recommended other friends to J. Williams who in turn recommended others and we’re all working.
Yes Claudine, at times, gets a little behind with return calls and messages but what employer (temp or permanent) doesn’t? Not making excuses, but as job seekers we have to be persistent and sometimes patient.
If you can make the drive, it’s worth it.

I won’t go into all of the «gory details», but suffice to say that this was a horrible experience with this recruiting firm.
I registered online last week. When I called to follow up on specific property management positions, I was told to speak with Claudine Kanjo. After leaving her quite a few messages & not hearing back from her, she finally left a message today saying that she was interviewing in Burbank. Had I known that they didn’t have a nearby office, I wouldn’t have wasted my time trying to connect with this person.
As a long time working person, I’ve dealt with many recruiting firms in my life. This is by far, the worst experience I have had. Their total lack of professionalism, follow-​up, & responsiveness is unbelievable. A job search is challenging & frustrating in of itself, without having additional frustration from a recruiter.
Heads up to all Unilocalers about this recruiting firm! Be warned & cautious if you do decide to work with them.
