Had an excellent exprience working with Ellie-- one of their Portland recruiters. As an older job seeker who is in the process of transitioning back into the healthcare field (only had 15 plus year experience and two health care degrees btw) have found most contract agencies will only half-heartedly (mostly as an afterthought) put my candidacy in front of their clients and then let me chase them around for a week after I dont call them back within a few minutes or am not willing to start immediately (Jebus, I have a job.). Not so here. In a months time being represented by Apex, I had two job interviews at excellent companies, and one job offer. Apex (win)-Client (win)-John (win) situation. Isnt that how it is supposed to work? Call them!

I did some work through Apex and was impressed by the ease of interacting with them, the simplicity of onboarding, and fair pay. Other agencies treated me like I was guilty until proven innocent and offered compensation that wasnt competitive. And the place I work now has found a lot of good people to work with thanks to Apex.

One of the worst companies out there, they first recruit you by telling you what you want to hear, then they promise you they will get your schedule figured out because you were asking not to work weekends. They tell you your training hours will be a certain time THEN....once you get everything situated, daycare in line, ready to start they tell you a different story and throw you off guard, they lie to you and make you seem as if your loosing it when you confront them. My hours changed and days changed too. All they care about is getting their money and hire as many as they can....oh and when you try to turn them down from the beginning they try to talk you into taking the job and promising you everything you want. They wasted my time, money, gas and energy.

Sent me to a client that told me they wanted to hire me for two months... when the contractor told me it was a contract to hire position. Complete waste of my time considering I already have a full time permanent job with benefits. Why would I leave my job for a job that ends in two months and no prospective benefits. That was a waste of my time. Not sure why the business lied to Apex but rated low because of mis-communication and lack of communication. When I went to the place I had my interview at they gave me the wrong room number because of a typo... its really important when going to get a job that the information is right and reliable. The guy apologized to me which thats taken care of thankfully but, then a week or two later two woman messed up job submitting for me. A woman named Maggie could barely speak English did my submission wrong and I had to re do it all over again at that point and time I said just move on and dont worry about it as a result it jeopardized my other opportunity which I was submitted already by Amanda for a different job. That makes no sense why if I ask to not worry about a job when an employee doesnt do their job right the first time another job I applied to would be affected that I did a week ago. I contacted the branch and talked to a manager who apparently has been working there for 10 years. She reached a resolve with me. Id rather have quality service then a bunch of people who dont know what they are doing helping me. If someones being paid for their job they dont need a baby sitter to go over the job with them in less their new which is way more appreciated when someone says they are new at first bare with me. Ive worked with Apex Systems before this isnt usually normal. I have had a good experience with their Virginia branch employee named Rocky.

The recruiter stood me up twice. When we talked he seemed annoyed and in a rush. Said he would get back with me. Never heard from him again.

Wonderful service
