What Elwood Staffing does best is RESPOND. Many companies lack time, money & resources to secure qualified talent. So they rely on staffing agencies. With this in mind, there is often high turnover in said industries. Finding a secure temp-to hire position can be a bit daunting. However, if ever I had a question concerning a W-2, travel distance to an assignment, whether it lasted a day, week or a month as Elwood office management was never un-available to RESPOND in a timely manner. Thats good value. dcm
Tina was so understanding of my situation. She listened to what was going on in my life and was ready with solutions to best fit my needs and wants. Honest, helpful, understanding, and professional is what you’ll find in everyone on the team.
I went in for my appointment and it was very quick and easy. It was very professional and I was assigned to a job the very next day. They really are the better people. I highly recommend anyone looking for work to go to Elwood Staffing!
So far, so good. Although I have only been with Elwood Staffing for a fairly short time, they have been great so far. Within a few weeks of my signing up with them, they connected me with a very good job at a good rate of pay. (And this despite my being a displaced home-maker!) Brandy, at the office is very good about answering questions. I have great hope that when this assignment ends, Elwood Staffing and I will be able to find another good job where I can apply my skills.
I had a great experience at this location. I had just moved to Portland with no idea on where to start looking for work. I started researching employment agencies on Google. I signed up with a few different agencies and of the three I have attended for the initial interview this was by far the most professional one of them all. Unlike the others, it was easy to park your vehicle, easy to find, they did not ignore me, they greeted me upon entering, they were polite, they offered me water, they were prompt with their services, the process was fast and easy with only a few simple questions regarding my job preferences. I started my first task the very next day. You get paid weekly, every Friday in fact.They have never missed a payment. You have the choice to sign up for a prepaid card or have the funds go directly into your bank account with direct deposit. They hand you the prepaid card the same day if you not wish to use direct deposit along with the itinerary: the date, time, and location of your task. I recommend to anyone who is new to Portland and I also recommend this to anyone who has lived in Portland all their life. Sign up today, work tomorrow!
I moved here in 2017 across the country just out of school. Brandy had found me a very nice postion for within a day of contacting her. She is amazing and was there to help me with every detail I didnt understand. On the rare occasion she was unavailable the other office ladies were knowledgeable and very helpful. Brandy I dont know what you make but its not enough and you deserve a big raise.
After moving across the country I found myself without a job, Elwood Staffing secured me a position nearly instantly. My main point of contact, Tina, has responded to any inquiries Ive had in a timely manner and proactively initiates conversations with me to guarantee my happiness. Currently I have the option of transitioning from Elwood to becoming a full time employee for the company I have been working for. I would recommend Elwood to anyone who needs to find short term solution or anyone looking to get their foot in the door at a new place of employment while hoping to be hired on full time.
My business with Elwood Staffing is as a customer. Whenever my company needs they are ready, fast, and efficient at fulling our staffing needs.The staff really take care of their workers. They are very knowledgable about Oregon laws for the workers and keep on top of everything needed for them. If there are issues they do a great job maintaining communication with their workers and their customer. Shout out to Tina Addy and Cassandra. Keep up the great work.
Ive worked for this agency for a month now, and the employment process has, so far, gone smoothly. I was contacted quickly for an interview, and received calls for assignments in the days following the interview. I enjoy working for the employer on my current assignment, and it appears the agency paid attention to the fact I cant work for employers who micromanage.
Insulted and disappointedA few days ago, I came into Elwood looking (desperately) for work, spendt a few hours w my recruiter, did all my tests and things, one of which was about professionalism and integrity.I was told by said recruiter that I would hear something from them by Friday 12/20/19 about a job Friday comes and goes, not a word, email, text, phone call NOTHING! I take it upon myself to email my recruiter about whats going on, knowing I wont get a response until Monday anyway.I get an automated email that says my recruiter will be out of the office from Dec 23 to a certain date.Now I feel insulted that my professional integrity was question when havent even exercised any of thier own, had I not sent that email I wouldnt have know anything and still be sitting in the dark.Just another in a long list of temporary agency disappointments.
Sometimes it is difficult for people to find good employment after not working for awhile, but not with Elwood!! They hired me on the spot when I only wanted to inquire about the opportunities being offered! It has now been more than 3 months and they are still keeping me busy in a position I enjoy. Thank you all at Elwood Staffing!!
Got into work fast and easy. A very reliable company
I moved here from out of state and was having a hard time getting a job. I met with Brandy at Elwood staffing and she has helped find me work and is compassionate and professional. Ive been fortunate to work with Elwood, they encourage you along the way to let you know that your doing a great job.
Great office, very helpful and nice staff! I would recommend Elwood Staffing to my friends.
I saw a job posting that looked perfect, and I went in for an interview with Brandy. She was really nice and helpful throughout the interview. I am now on an assignment and really happy with how everything worked.
The other employees are very helpful with helping me to learn all of the processes and details.
I love working for ElWood Staffing. They listen to the opinions of there temp agents, they send you on assignments that are Taylor made to your personal strengths along with great pay. The staff are always happy and friendly when you arrive to ElWood a great place to work 👍
These awesome people saved me from going into an unemployment spiral. they communicate much quicker than expected, worked with small scheduling issues I had, and all they asked of me is some common sense safety knowledge, a willingness to work, and a clean drug test. Easy peasy, im working more than 40 hours a week and learning a new trade. payment is painless if you can do direct deposit, and the Elwood staff sent out text alerts to myself and other employees in my area to notify us of emergency evacuations due to a near by fire. The results speak volumes, Ive been approached by our client for a position with them. Elwood helped me get my foot in the door to a good job, and I wish that other industries in my area would give them some business.
Cassandra got me and my friend pretty much dream jobs! May not happen for everyone, but it did for us! Thank you!
I was looking for a job and elwood had me working the next day. The people at the office are all about you and very understanding. If your looking for work I strongly recremend Elwood Staffing.
I was impressed at the quick, easy initial interview and registration. Took awhile for me to make up my mind and sync with an available schedule, but everything else has been real smooth.

Elwood Staffing was very friendly and helpful in getting me where Im at today! Their online timecard helps immensely for ease of use and convenience.

I had just left another job, and before I got out of bed that morning I had an interview. Elwood does not mess around or delay, and everyone who works there is nice.
Been an employee here for a couple months. They have done nothing but help me and contribute to a positive working environment. Thankful for the ladies in the office for constantly being ontop of things!
Staff works hard to help you get and keep a job.
False information on jobs.
Nice place, nice people. They will help you find a job.
The receptionist Is really rude and doesnt make you feel welcomed. But the staff workers are very sweet and nice.
Scored new a great job!
Very helpful and work with you and not around you
If you can avoid smoking marijuana and harder drugs, Elwood can find you work in Portland, Oregon. Helps if you have a vehicle of course.
Good experience
There are rooms for improvement with the employees attitude.
Legit staffing.
Great Service
