PrideStaff

Bob Daniel and James McKoy are very professional and worked hard to find me the perfect job with a great company! PrideStaff is the BEST staffing firm that I have ever used.

My experience with Pridestaff has been great & these are the reasons why. Whenever I was given a job assignment to do for them I always represented them well by possessing a strong work ethic, never received any complaints, & exceeded their expectations. When you take care of Pridestaff they will take care of you. I got recognized as a valuable asset for the agency which kept me busy doing various of job task, along the way a permanent position that I qualified for was available & I was one of the first candidates that Pridestaff contacted to compete for this position. The managers strongly referenced me & with their help I landed a great job & now have a bright future to look forward to. Thank you Bob Daniels & the rest of the members at Pridestaff for the opportunity to enhance my career.

Whatever you do do not sign these peoples paperwork! First they ask you to sign away any rights to legal action against them and then they demand that you give up all rights to your personal information, your driving history, your credit report, relationships, marriage, divorce any legal action before you’re hired and after you give them full and complete rights to snoop into your life with no exparation date. This place should be shut down. It should be completely illegal! Don’t sign anything! Don’t work for them! Stay away!

I went through the natural progression steps. First spoke with the Recruiter: James McCoy, who seemed like a nice fellow. I was sent skills tests via email and completed them online. The scores were sent to PrideStaff ahead of time for my scheduled interview. I showed up and asked for James whom I’ve spoken to initially, but he was not in the office, so was interviewed briefly by Kaci, or Casey, not sure how her name is spelled. She went over my test scores and asked me general questions like what my desired salary is, and what type of employment I was looking for. You have to spend about 15 – 20 minutes filling out the required paperwork before you sit down and talk to someone.
I was told if there was a match then they would call me. I have called their offices at least once a week to follow up to see if there was more I can do. I was told they would contact me. It’s been more than 3 weeks now and I have called them at least 6 times for a status. Just today I called, and was put on hold for over 10 minutes, at which time I just hung up.
I’m not sure what their workloads are like, but it doesn’t appear as if there is any urgency for them to help you. For all I know, my case folder/​file could be sitting in a file drawer somewhere collecting dust.
All that a job seeker such as myself is asking for is some Communication and a status once in awhile. We shouldn’t have to be the ones that call you multiple times a week, to see what that status is. If you don’t have jobs that fit my skills set that’s okay, just let me know that you’re at least thinking or working on my case. You may be behind in working through all the applicants, but an email or voicemail takes only a few minutes. Until the communication lines get shored up, at least at this Vegas office, I would recommend going elsewhere like Robert Half/​Office Team, where they seem to communicate more effectively.

I went through all the online steps, loaded my resume & called at least 4 times over the course of a few weeks~ to schedule an appointment/​interview… to no avail. Each time I called, I was told I had to wait a few days which was extremely odd considering I am sure the person answering the phone had not asked for my name, nor did it seem to matter.
AVOID this nonsense.

WORST TEMP AGENCY I’ve ever been to. They had me come in and the lady I met with (which was the receptionist as well?) first told me my salary range wasn’t realistic for an office job and that unless I had 40 years experience I should be grateful for $ 9/​hr, pretty sure 2 years prior I was making way more than that in an office position. Then they told me as I walked out, to hurry and do the computer testing because they have an executive position that would be perfect for me. Never heard about that job position ever again, though I called in every week to check in, they never had any assignments for me. Weeks after meeting with them, I receive a call from the receptionist saying she had an assignment for me, it was at the convention center, handing out flyers dressed up in a Koala suit. As I graciously declined this most pathetic offer, I was promptly told that since I denied them, I would be put at the bottom of the list because they help clients that help them first. It would be one thing if I had told them I was desperate and I would do anything. As a professional, I was offended that with my experience this was the type of job they thought was a good fit for me?! I was in shock because I read such great reviews on Unilocal about this temp. Totally horrified with my experience. Most unprofessional temp agency I’ve ever encountered. How dare they think threatening someone into doing an assignment that is totally out of their scope is acceptable. I will never refer any friend or foe to this unprofessional agency. I hope I save one person from wasting their valuable time on this disgusting place.

I am so happy with my new job. Thank you Mr Daniel. I found my dream job.

I am new to the Las Vegas area and a former employee of the Pridestaff — La Jolla, CA branch. I sought assistance with finding work at this branch, and was very impressed with the owner Bob Daniel, and his approach to finding the right match for me. He made an effort to thoroughly assess my skills and interests, and worked to find me a place of employment that worked for me. After going on countless interviews in the area, I’m very grateful for his help. He found a great position for me in a matter of days!
