Honestly, where do I start?! I couldn't speak highly enough of DES. The company is professional, kind and so hardworking. I worked with Dobbs and truly felt blessed to have had her guide and help me into my new role. I am so thankful for all of her handwork. If you are looking for a new role, please get in touch with Dobbs at DES, and I promise you will have a wonderful experience and find a new position you love!

I have to write in ALL CAPS, BECAUSE DOBBS AND DALLAS EMPLOYMENT SERVICES HAS CHANGED MY LIFE AND MY BUSINESS! I was so skeptical about using any employment service at all but after speaking with Dobbs, I was sold! Dobbs listened to what I needed and wanted in an executive assistant and made sure to find someone who could work with my personality, my needs and my hours.

She found me someone within a matter of a week, I believe and it has been the best fit ever. I have accomplished more goals within the first 4 PART TIME days of working with my assistant than I had in almost a year! I have been so productive, so motivated and accomplished so much since hiring my assistant and even though it has only been a couple of weeks, I could not imagine working without her. However, I know that if I had to work without my amazing new executive assistant, Dobbs would find me a replacement so quickly that I will still be able to meet all of my goals! Thank you Dobbs and DES for all you do and for improving my quality of life and my work-life balance!

Regal Personnel was not only the company we used to hire personnel, but they were also the ones who placed me in my first CPG role, and ultimately started my career in this industry. As a recruitee 15 years ago, Adria Pearl helped me identify my skills, walked me through the interview process, and stayed close to me to monitor my growth even after I was awarded the position.

Then from the other side, using her to place candidates, I saw in Adria a deep passion for matching up the right people to the right companies. She is devoted to her job, and makes it a personal goal to help others succeed professionally. Adria is as genuine and dedicated as they come! I would recommend Regal, and more specifically, Adria to anyone looking for employment opportunities.

These professionals are the top in their field. They listen to the candidates and actually gauge what direction you want your career to go in. Every other agency treated me like a number on one of the many numbering systems. I am grateful for their help and look forward to the continued relationship.

Regal Personnel was extremely helpful during my job search. I was able to sit down with both Adria and Kristen to go over my resume and discuss possible job opportunities. Adria clearly has a lot of experience and knowledge because she had amazing ideas, and suggestions during my whole job search. Kristen thoroughly reviewed my resume and helped me make several improvements to make it stand out against other candidates. Adria and Kristen were always eager to help me in any way possible.

They prepared me for my interview by giving me tips, potential questions and answers and even making suggestions on what I should wear. I have never felt so confident and comfortable before walking into an interview. Thanks to the talented ladies at Regal Personnel I will soon be starting an exciting new position, earning more than I was previously, and also receiving full benefits. I loved working with Adria and Kristen and I would not hesitate to do it again!

The talent acquisition professionals at Regal swooped in at the optimum moment, when we were struggling to fill an administrative assistant position. Having never used an outside agency before my Human resources team were beginning to wonder if the "revolving door" position could ever be occupied indefinitely! I received a call from Kristen asking if our in house HR was struggling to hold the position.

She had noticed it listed on Indeed several times and offered her support. We decided to give it a shot, and within a matter of days, Adria and Kristen sent us a bright individual who was a breath of fresh air and still holds the position (with a few extra responsibilities) of course.

Each individual you encounter is top notch. I could not say enough good things about this company. I highly recommend working with them, for them, through them or just being around them.

Regal Personnel placed me in my present position. At that time I was working out of my home, and after four months of looking, had almost given up on finding a tax manager's position with a public accounting firm. Adria's phone call changed the direction of my career. The position she was trying to fill was a perfect fit for me. I am in my fifth year and love the work, the clients, and my co workers. Recently, Regal Personnel accomplished what seemed to be impossible.

They found an auditor for a position with our firm. The firm had been searching for months for the right person, and had other search firms looking. Regal came through and found a person who is a pleasure to be around, and technically proficient.

I just moved to Dallas from Chicago and for a little over one month I was having difficulty obtaining a job. Once I applied to a position through Regal, I received a call right away from Adria and scheduled an interview. The process was so quick and I received an offer for the job! Adria and Kristen were incredibly helpful with my job search and Adria is the best at what she does.

If you are looking for someone who will place you in a job that they know will suit you, your needs, and make you happy. Adria is the person to go to! She truly cares about the individual and doesn't just place someone because the position needs to get filled. I am beyond appreciative for Adria and Kristen's help in finding me my amazing job!

I moved back to Texas in 2007, I had placed my resume in different places on the web and within a few days I received a call from Adria Pearl at Regal Personnel. She told me about an opportunity that suited my experience and sparked my interest. My initial introduction with Adria was thorough but relaxed; her personality makes her very easy to speak to.

A few days later I was headed to a formal interview with her client. It was one of the most in-depth interviews I had ever been on, but Adria had prepared me so well that it was actually one of the most enjoyable hiring experiences I ever had. I'm proud to say that after 8 years I still work for the same company. I wouldn't be where I am today if Adria hadn't found me so many years ago, Thank You!

I have worked with Adria Pearl and Regal for many years and will never use another recruiter. She has found us so many quality candidates over the years. Adria and Kristen are both great people to work with and always responsive to questions and concerns. So glad I found them! - Julie, Irving, TX

Adria and Kristen are refreshing and wonderful to work with! They both have so much experience in the recruiting and staffing industry, and they add a personal touch to every single candidate and position. I am consistently impressed with their communication and dedication to projects. As busy as they may be, they always have time to interview each candidate and prepare them for the interview with the client. I highly recommend Regal Personnel for any quality staffing need in the Dallas/Fort Worth/Irving area!

I'd honestly give this a 0 star review, if it were possible. I got a referral from a friend who'd recently been placed in her job through DES. The contact given was Kay Eubanks. I sent her an email with a little bit of an introduction and asked what were the next steps. She didn't respond to what I had written and asked for my resume, so I sent it and got a response saying she received it.

A week went by and there was no further response. I sent an email asking if there was anything else I should be doing or if she had anything lined up for me. She responded saying she saw my resume and has nothing for me, and to check back later. Seeing as how this person was recommended by a friend and not some random website I looked at, I decided to take a slightly more aggressive approach and set up a phone call with her.

In the phone call, I asked about how her recruiting process worked, and she asked me about my job at the time. She seemed very disinterested and rushed me off the phone. I never heard from her again.

I have been registered with DES for about a year now. I have submitted my resume to numerous positions and have not gotten any feedback from them regarding their employers. I have gotten called in for an interview by one recruiter as I was leaving the building from interviewing for the same position after I was told the position wasn't available. I'd hate to think that my "resume name" is what's getting the attention and not my resume itself.

It really wouldn't be good, especially since I am African American. I've done well on the tests, above what they required but not once have I been called back. Now, when I email I'm not even getting responses to my email. I've emailed Kay, Stacy, & Samantha. I've even met with Stacy & Kay. Stacy forgot about our interview and was 30 minutes late.

The receptionist called her and she was still in bed. Then I met with Kay, after I told her over the phone I had met with Samantha. She was adamant about meeting with me, so I obliged. Then when I got there, she cut our interview short bc she said I had met with another recruiter, which I had already told her! It's become really frustrating and all I can think about is the 20/20 segment on race and resumes: they took the same resume and changed the names to see how recruiters would respond.

Then also did the same resume with "resume names" but sent different races on the same interview and the non-black got the job even with the exact same resume. Breaks my heart that this still happens. So it makes me wonder this about DES.

Don't waste your time. I came into the office, no one was available. I was told to call the next day, well I left several messages over several days. Dobbs never returned my returned my call and no one else was available. I am new to the area however no professional courtesy was given to me. I just wanted to discuss any options available. I went to this agency base on the reviews on yelp. Feeling discouraged!

Incredibly Rude and unhelpful! I was told by the male secretary that I wasn't a fit for anything they had without finding out what my experience and qualifications were. When I asked to speak to someone, I was told they were in a meeting when I could clearly see 15 feet away that they weren't. There is too many staffing agencies in the city to give these jerks any kind of business. I would avoid them at all cost.

The recruiters are very tan, young, and fake. They take your picture when you interview and it feels like an escort service (someone should sue them). Someone forgot to tell them that we had a feminist movement! They will call and ask you to go on a job and then call back after you are rushing around and getting ready and say "never mind". Then they'll say you are their "top priority for the next job" and then you won't hear anything for months, and they'll do it all over again. They did at least 4 times, and I finally told them to stop calling me. Don't waste your time with these people.

Waste of time. Its like all other temp agencies. They post they have jobs and when you go in they come up with the suprising "AT this moment we dont have any jobs" crap.

My friend gave me Kay Eubank's phone number. I called her and met with her 2 days later. She called me once a week asking me questions about certain jobs. Three weeks after I signed up with Dallas Employment Services, Kay called me about a potential company and I was hired! YEA! I am going to recommend all my friends and family to her!

Dallas Employment Services is far from stand-out when it comes to recruitment in the DFW area. On the job-seeker side you can send them as many emails as you like. You have a 0.0001% chance of hearing from anyone. If you (by some miracle) do hear from them, you'll get a short, sentence fragment or two in which they'll ask you some of the usual questions and that will be where it ends.

On the employer side you can try to send in job orders through their website, and you'll hear absolutely nothing from them. It's as if they don't want your business. You can call, but they'll pretend like getting through to Kay or another recruiter is as easy as resurrecting the Queen Mum. I would say go somewhere else, but they're all the same. You're better off scanning CB or CL.

I had an absolutely horrible experience with this company. To put things mildly, Kay Eubanks was the most unpleasant person I met. She will place a blonde haired knock-out before anyone else. She possesses a unique ability to make any situation a reason to exert her necessity to dominate her workplace. I find her method of control demeaning to every person exposed to her and in my opinion; she creates an unhealthy hostile work environment.

The frequency and degree of Kay's verbal abuse and conduct is unacceptable and prevented me from completing my assignment with the professionalism and quality I usually demonstrate. I take great pride in my work and work ethics and have never walked away from a job, until working for her.

I have worked through DES since the 80's and Kay Eubanks was my recruiter. After returning several years later Kay was was still there. If you work with Kay, don't expect someone to hold your hand and sugar coat the harsh reality that you are not the best candidate for an open position. Trust me when I say, she knows what her clients want. If Kay can place you, she will.

I have been with Dallas Employment Services for 9 months and they have never even sent me on so much as an interview. I have gotten so many calls from Kay Eubanks saying "I think I found the perfect job for you, it got your pay rate, its in the distance you want to travel. I am going to send over your resume, and I will give you a call when I hear something." and then I never hear anything back UNTIL THE NEXT FALSE HOPE CALL! Everytime she calls I get all excited thinking "thank goodness this might be the one" and then I never hear anything about that job. As nice and friendly as everyone is at DES I would not recommend going there.alot of hoopla, and false hope with no follow through!

The crew at Dallas Employment Services are absolutely fabulous. If I could give them ten stars, I would. I went through them and another agency at the same time thinking, "Hey, I can use all the help I can get". The other agency called me on anything and everything that was somewhat of a match with my background and skills. Even after I'd say I wasn't interested or it was too far away or I'd worked at a collection agency before and didn't want to do it again, they'd try to talk me into taking these positions and go out on interviews, for jobs I KNEW I didn't want.

Meanwhile I had just about written off DES because I hadn't heard a peep from them that first week. Then, Kay, my recuiter, called me with something. It was exactly what I said I was looking for - the location, the position, the pay, the benefits - a PERFECT match to all of my requirements. And here I am now, in that new job. Kay and her assistant Eleni were right by my side, supporting me through the whole interview process, genuinely concerned with how it was going and how I thought the interviews went.

Rather than trying to get a commission off me and throwing every job opening my way, regardless if I'd actually be happy there or not, they dug a little deeper and found something perfect for me. I owe them the world. They truly care about their clients. Thank you DES!
