Kathy and her team at PS&R are awesome. They found me a great employee in a faster timeframe than expected. They were responsive and professional. I would definitely recommend them to any employers looking to hire qualified staff!

Kathy is great! Brought to my attention a truly life changing Enterprise Sales opportunity and was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the company, role, and interview process. As a potential candidate, having a great recruiter that sets you up for success is not as common as youd think, but truly what you get with Kathy and PS&R. I recommend her and her company 100% and appreciate the hard work and diligence put in on their end to help me land a life changing role!

I had a wonderful experience with Preferred Staffing. I had surgery and could only work limited hours per week. Kathy placed be in a terrific law firm who was looking for the same. Fast forward 3 months, I had recovered and ending up being offered a fabulous full time position. Kathy and her staff are responsive and very pro worker for her employees. I am very grateful for the position she helped me to secure.

I worked with Kathy Orcutt at Preferred Staffing and she was absolutely fantastic! She found a great position for me. Kathy is a pro, she has a huge network, and she clearly knows what shes doing. And shes not the type of recruiter who you contact once and then never hear from again. She was awesome about presenting opportunities and staying in touch. I highly recommend Kathy!

Needed to bring in a temporary administrative assistant to work in a healthcare provider setting. I anticipated that it would be difficult to find an individual during the pandemic. Within 48 hours PS&R provided two very qualified candidates to interview! The temp we selected has done a fantastic job. No hesitation to highly recommend PS&R.

My experience with PS&R and specifically Kathy has been very positive. Kathy is a seasoned professional with strong interpersonal skills and an understanding of what is required to successfully place a candidate in the right position. She is very responsive and able to negotiate effectively to result in a positive outcome for all. I highly recommend Kathy for any placement needs.

WOW!! 10/10. Absolutely the best agency out there. I had the pleasure of working with Kathleen and man was she great. Kathleen had me interviewing for a great company with already another one lined up within the first week. The turnaround time for this was incredible as I have been on the job hunt for a while now. If anyone is looking at this before you give your resume to PS&R, DO IT. Your next job is literally waiting for you! Again 10/10, I would absolutely work with this agency again.

The PS&R group is among the most effective placement firms in this dynamic and ever changing employment market. They have the agility of a boutique firm with the reach of an organization of considerably larger scale. Working with Kathy their Principal, she is an effective listener to needs, preferences and skills matching the candidate and potential employer. First in Class Service ... A+ all around!

I love working with a small business that gives personalized service. I just loved working with Kathy and Erin. I had the unfortunate experience of leaving a company after five years and getting a new position that I thought would be great. My new job was not great and I ended up leaving that position. I was kind of lost, I worked a seasonal position until mid April. Then, I decided to call Preferred Staffing. I told my story and immediately got a call from Kathy. She really listened to me and felt she wanted to help and cared. I needed to look for a permanent job but also had to run the household with some money. So, Kathy found me a job and I worked for six weeks there. I kept looking and did find another new position starting on June 17th. Thanks to Kathy and Erin they were lifesavers! Preferred is a different agency - they care and listen and do try to place candidates instead of keeping them in the file. I have worked with other agencies and I definitely would highly recommend Preferred! Erin was also very good she let me do paper time sheets since I am not very computer literate and was always understanding calling right back with an answer.

They wasted my time soliciting a review because they had my email somehow, despite having no association with the company.

Kathy was a pleasure to work with. She was very responsive and was able to answer any question that I had. There was a very quick turn around time between the moment we first spoke and my interview with the company I have now been hired for. I highly recommend Preferred Staffing & Recruiting, Inc. Thanks Kathy!

They were very accommodating and understanding. Kathy found a few positions that actually fit my criteria, both in salary and in what the positions entailed. She checked in with me every step of the way and seemed genuinely pleased/proud that I nailed my new career. I would recommend them to ANYONE that needs a little steering in the right direction in their job search. After both of my interviews she sent me to, I called her as if she were my own mother. Thank you Preferred Staffing! I am soooo happy in my new position. I would have never applied to this job but it fits me so perfectly!!!!

Kathy did a great job helping us find a qualified candidate to fill an open position we had in one of our departments. She was very helpful navigating the process and helping us make a decision. We certainly found a much better team member than if we had completed a search independently.

As prospective employee, PS&R staff distinguished themselves immediately with high level of effort, expertise and action to match with employers. Had more direct discussions and job leads in first 3 weeks than in 3 months from other area agencies. Highly recommend!

Within a week of sending in my resume and speaking with Kathy from Preferred about what I was looking for, she found me a great temp to perm position that was the perfect fit. During the temp period they have an extremely user friendly online system for entering hours which makes things so easy. Overall, extremely professional, caring, and a pleasure to work with!

This was the first time my company has used a temp agency, and we hit the jackpot when we found PS&R. They are so professional and Kathy Orcutt, the owner, treated us like we were her only clients! We had such a positive experience that we decided to use them again to hire a data entry-front desk person. The person she placed with us has been one of the best workers we have ever had in our workplace. I highly recommend PS&R and would use them instead of going through the stress of trying to hire staff.

I met with the Founder of PS&R (Kathy Orcutt) and at our meeting, I was impressed with her honest approach to my background, career and the job market. She knows her craft and the ever-changing market and was so helpful with great ideas on how to approach my job search and what to expect. She took the time to get to know me, even though at the time there was nothing in her job data base applicable to my background.When she called me, it was Fate! She had the perfect job for me! Unlike the Head Hunters who send people on tons of interviews, in the hopes the employer bites, Kathy and PS&R are Professional Recruiters - they contact you when they have the right position for YOU! It was a home run! The first company Kathy sent me to, I got the job! She is a Matchmaker, finding the right person for the right role!I hope to be able to use her talents on the other side, if my new company needs a position filled, I am going to the professionals at PS&R, where the resumes I review, will be matched to the business, the people and the job! Thanks Kathy!

I met with Kathy Orcutt of PS&R on the phone. She was very professional and honest when talking to me. Although I did not qualify for the job I was applying for, Kathy took the time to give me advice on my resume and got to know my background beyond what was written on paper. She ended up looking for other assignments that I could take part in while we conversed.She gets back to you quickly and she is hard working. I would definitely recommend the services of PS&R.

I have worked with many agencies and I can honestly say that this is the best agency I have worked with in the Boston area. The staff at Preferred go the extra mile. They have helped me find the right job opportunities and they stay in touch during and after completion of assignments. I would highly recommend Preferred Staffing and Recruiting.

I recently worked with Kathy Orcutt and Diane Read on hiring two great administrative assistants. My initial inquiry was for a temp to cover for a departing employee-- the person she sent was top-notch and we hired her permanently! While we were in the process, Kathy also identified a second high quality candidate-- while we were only in the market for one person, the second person was so good that we hired her as well! I have recruited a number of administrative assistants over the last several years, with results that were mixed at best--Kathys ability to find great people and deftly bring them through the entire hiring process has made our company much better and I look forward to working with PS&R again in the future!

Kathy and her staff are absolutely amazing and worked with me to find the perfect job for me! Kathy and Erin Keysor and the entire staff were always available to offer advice and help with anything that came up. I would HIGHLY recommend Preferred Staffing Solutions to anyone looking for a new opportunity in the workplace- I’ve worked with numerous recruiters over the years and Kathy is hands down the best I have ever come accross. Kathy is friendly, warm, trusting, intelligent, has a wonderful personality and truly cares about helping to find the best fit for employees and employers. I cannot recommend Kathy and her team enough!!!
