Highly Recommend! Taylor Hodson is my go-to agency whenever I am looking to make a change in my career. I reached out to Janice Crosby over ten years ago and she helped place me at a wonderful firm - she was responsive and helpful, assisting in resume and interview advice, and generally being a wonderful coach, advocate - and ultimately friend - throughout the interview process.

She was always a text away and the care and thought she gave to my job search made me feel I was her only client! During my most recent career change, Janice helped me secure a high-level seat at a first-class firm within my industry. Even though I already had contacts at firms in the city, and could have looked for a job through word-of-mouth, I still reached out to Janice.

From entry level to executive level, Taylor Hodson has a wide breadth of roles to choose from. Minerva Taylor also hopped onto Zoom with me and Janice towards the late stages of the interview process with my current firm. Her encouragement and advice did wonders for my confidence and helped me to land the job. I send all of my friends and family to Taylor Hodson and will continue to do so. I highly suggest starting with Taylor Hodson if you are not sure where to start your job search in NYC. Thank you Janice!

Lauren Gorstayn quite literally changed my life. She found me my perfect job within a week of working with her. She was so patient as I was learning and was by my side the entire time, reaching out and making sure I was okay. I now have a permanent job that I adore because of her, and I am able to live comfortably and fully all because she stuck by me. If I could give her 100 stars I would, you will not regret working with her, I promise!

Taylor Hodson is the only search firm in the city which has a true variety of roles on which they are working on a daily basis but also the ability to place candidates who are interested in more senior or specific positions. They truly listen to each contact and present them opportunities that fit their expertise, interest, and requirements. There is no "one size fits all" mentality or generic slate of jobs, all cases are handled individually so the candidate's success rate in getting the job is high from the first interview on.

More importantly, it's the only firm I have met whose clients are 100% committed to them and rave about long-standing relationships. Taylor Hodson spends time with each person, treats them like human beings, and actually places them at dream jobs - all in the most respectful and professional way. I would never go elsewhere and plan to one day becoming a client after being their candidate.

I encountered Taylor Hodson on a Thursday. They brought me in to meet with them on Friday. I had a job offer on Tuesday. Granted, this was much faster than usual, but Minerva, Janice, and Cynthia also sent me on another interview and had two others lined up when the opportunity that panned out turned up. They really hustled to get me employed again, and I'd work with them again in a heartbeat.

Taylor Hodson is the best agency I've ever worked with. I've been working with them for 4 years on and off, and they have always been amazing. Lauren has been my contact from the beginning and is always lovely, great at communicating and hugely receptive to me coming back. I've gotten jobs very quickly with them, and many have lead to long term teams positions. They've been incredibly flexible with my schedule, which is why I temp. Couldn't recommend Taylor Hodson more!

I will always be a champion of Taylor Hodson for anyone looking for temp and/or permanent work in NYC! I've worked with them for almost 20 years now, since I first arrived. Even though I had no "office" experience, they found me a great starter position back in 2001. When I needed their services again, and once I had some admin experience under my belt, they worked to find me another great position in another great firm.

Jump ahead to the downturn of 2009 and a layoff, Cynthia May, my contact over at Taylor Hodson, was able to get me into my current role. Besides Cynthia (who is fantastic, by the way), I've worked with Janice Crosby, Ed Reagan, and a couple of others (some on the temp side and some on the permanent side) and all have been very helpful in keeping me working all these years! Can't thank them enough! Highly recommend Taylor Hodson!

Angela, Minerva & Cynthia have been phenomenal to work with so far! They have been quite diligent on proposing great positions and sending me out to interviews. This is quite a dedicated team with full determination on helping people find a fit role for them. Really glad to be working with them.

I was actually impressed with this agency despite them not finding me work (another agency beat them to it). But from my experience, they seem to be a dedicated team. They set me up with a couple of companies to interview for - one I was really interested in, but unfortunately, they just took too long to get back to me due to a staffing restructure.

The other wasn't for me but gave me good interview experience. Minerva was really fantastic in keeping me updated and calling me almost daily with moral support (being unemployed is really hard!), and prepping me for interviews. I would recommend, but I think my resume/qualifications were a bit too qualified for the types of roles they had on hand. If you're after competitive EA or admin roles, I'd highly recommend them.

Wouldn't recommend. Went there, met with Lindsay. The meeting went well and I was hopeful. Nothing came out it after that first meeting

I have been working with Angela at Taylor Hodson during my job search and she has been a pleasure to work with. She is very prompt to reply to any questions or comments I have (which can be many at times) and she genuinely considers positions that are good fits. The entire team is very helpful at preparing you for interviews and following up after. The only reason I am not giving 5 stars is for the narrow assortment of industries they work with.

I worked with both Minerva Taylor and Janice Crosby. Taylor Hodson Staffing was a cut above. They get to know you, get you to discover things about yourself that you had not taken the time to articulate and work really hard for their clients. Love this company.

My experience with Taylor Hodson has been nothing but exceptional. After meeting Minerva and her team, they took a vested interest in getting to know me in a professional and personal way. Their encouragement and support gave me the confidence I needed to interview at my very best and Minerva's guidance during every step of this process was so comforting. And as I embark on the next phase of my career, I have the team at Taylor Hodson to thank!

Same story as many of the other reviews. I answered an ad on Craigslist, that appeared to be a direct hire for an Office Manager position. Lindsay emailed me asking if I could come in for an interview, and when I saw the job title "Director of Legal Division, Recruiting", I decided to google the company. which is, of course, when I learned that they are a staffing agency.

In general, I don't like to deal with folks who aren't upfront and this felt like a red flag but I scheduled an interview because I felt like it couldn't hurt to go see what they're about. (It is worth noting that I was asked to bring two forms of ID for payroll and that felt shady too.) I used that opportunity to for a bit more about the position via email and was told that it was in the early stages and that they needed more information themselves. Um, what?

At that point, I became ill and had to reschedule the interview. I sent another email requesting more information. Lindsay said she would "try her best" to obtain it, but that I would need to come in anyway. Finally, I composed a professional but stern email, basically calling them out and stating that the lack of transparency was making me uncomfortable, and that I needed to know exactly what was on the table.

At that juncture, I received a lengthy email explaining that yes, I applied to the Office Manager position, but that they have two to three available and would need ID because they're temp to perm, and the agency issues your pay for the first three months. She copied and pasted an example of a job description she was referring to. I wrote back thanking her for the clarification but never received a response.

Though she was very nice, I feel like there was dishonesty from the very start, and that I had to do a lot of insisting and digging to get any actual facts. It doesn't make me feel like they'd be very useful in placement, negotiation, or back up - and at that point, I'm better off on my own.

Same BS that every recruitment agency does. Post fake job listing adds on LinkedIn and Craiglist and then when they call you suddenly the job you applied for is gone but they would still like to meet you for other opportunities. Met with Angela and she introduce me to her colleague Janice who kept screaming out to her whole team that I didnt have my Bachelors degree and kept interrupting everything I was saying. Please do not waste your time with them. I have 10 years experience at reputable orgnaziations and these people said there is nothing avaialble for me.

Like every other staffing agency it was a waste of time. Got an email from Kate Newman and set up a phone interview. She said the same bs every other agency says to you. I asked if the the job i applied to was still available she says she will get back to me. I emailed her a few days later and she never got back to me. I've heard a lot about Taylor Hodson and its usually negative comments and that they're racist.not surprised. So in a sense I'm glad It didn't go any further. To hell with them and every other staffing agency.

Within 17 days of sending in my resume, I had accepted a job offer. I really enjoyed working with Taylor Hodson. The staff was friendly, professional, and very helpful. I would highly reccomend them.

I was called in for an interview after submitting my resume on their website. I remember going in, seeing the staff talk amongst themselves (not about work). I noticed the lack of diversity that further made me feel like I didn't have a chance in hell. Well, that feeling was spot on. I remember the dude at the front desk giving me the once over as if I was Medusa.

Then after filling out the long application, I met with my recruiter who took me to the far back; away from where the staff was just taking it easy. I remember seeing someone walk across from where we were seated to make herself a cup of coffee. Short version, the recruiter sold me a dream and I haven't heard a whistle back. I knew I wouldn't from the moment I got some stares.

HI-- My name is Shandra, I am a real, unpaid person who recently graduated with a boatload of highly specialized educational experience and went to Taylor Hodson, looking for work in the Real World. Not only did the president of the company invest in my potential, she sat me down and whipped my resume into shape, got me interview ready and gave me priceless savoir faire on corporate behavior.

Finding a job is easy. Finding satisfying, career building work in one of the most competitive cities in the world is nigh impossible. If it wasn't for the good, efficient, *well connected* people at Taylor Hodson, I would be in a library somewhere, writing another research paper instead of having an incredible position in Midtown in the finance sector. DISCLAIMER---You get out what you put in.

Taylor Hodson is by far the best of the staffing agencies I've come across in New York. Let me explain: First off, their clients are legit. All of the places I've been sent have been in Manhattan with sweet offices and highly professional personnel. I've been sent to consulting firms that work with Fortune 100 companies, a big name financial services company, and up and coming start ups. Second, the recruiting professionals themselves at Taylor Hodson are professional and classy. They're well spoken, conscientious (will remind you to turn in your timesheet if you forget), and check out clients prior to sending you out to them.

I can say this for certain about Lauren, Theresa, and Ed, but especially about Lauren; I've worked with her most closely. She's a great recruiter. Lastly, they don't seem to be just collecting candidates to increase the size of their potential temp workers pool-- meaning they seem to be as much or more on the side of the temp workers as they are with their big name clients. Taylor Hodson seems to genuinely want to find their temp workers jobs. Anyway, it's a great place that should continue being a trustworthy New York institution.

They were helpful in getting some decent interviews, but have since disappeared. Nice people all over the office, but I was never staffed even for daily work.

I first met Janice Crosby at Taylor Hodson 4 years ago, having just moved to NYC from London. Janice and her team went above and beyond to help me be successful. She made important edits to my resume and offered multiple positions suited to my skill set. They work with many prestigious companies and have great positions available. Along the way she provided her knowledge and positive support to help and guide me.

I have been to many other agencies in the city but always return to Taylor Hodson. I found their assistance so grand that I continue to send all my friends and former colleagues to them, many of which found wonderful placements. Finding a job is tough; finding one in NYC is a tall order. I highly recommend, see Janice and you will not be disappointed!

I'll give this place two stars just because the recruiter I met with was so nice to me. but still. AGAIN nothing back. I'm losing hope in these half ass staffing firms. small firm, you see everyone's cubicle & practically hear everyone's conversation. annoying.

Unprofessional! I went in to have an interview with one of the staff, she gave me a couple places that she would help me with. I went home and NEVER HEARD FROM HER AGAIN! I emailed her and emailed her, and she just NEVER GOT BACK TO ME! How unprofessional is that?! I will never deal with these people again.

I couldn't have asked for more with Taylor Hodson Inc. Not only are they passionate about what they do, they're passionate about getting to know you. Taylor Hodson took the time to learn about my personality and understand my strengths and weaknesses. I truly felt support from the entire Taylor Hodson team and I felt them rooting for my success. They made sure I was extremely prepared for my interviews and they helped me with any uncertainties and questions.

I would highly recommend Taylor Hodson Inc. to anyone. It's a company that walks alongside of you throughout your journey and beyond. If you don't want to be just another face to a staffing agency, you should certainly consider Taylor Hodson--they made me feel as though I was the only person they were helping. Great service, great support, great results! I couldn't be happier with the company I'm with and it's all thanks to Taylor Hodson!

Beau Bye at Taylor Hodson was extremely welcoming and understanding. He introduced me to his colleagues whom meet with me and discussed their available opportunities for me. Each and very person that I meet with took the time to truly understand what I was looking for. Less than 24hours later I had several interviews set up and within a few days I landed the position that we knew was best for me. 7 months later I am still in contact with Beau Bye and work with several of his colleagues to fill some positions with my company.

I can not say enough good things about Taylor Hodson and their staff. They are all extremely welcoming and understanding. Best of all, I was always kept up to speed on what was going on and what the next steps were. NEVER felt that I was being mislead or neglected. Thank you Taylor Hodson for making my experience a memorable one. Josephine

I had a fantastic experience with Taylor Hodson, and I would highly recommend their services to anyone looking to work with a placement agency. Back in 2006 I was living in Boston and planned to move to NYC; with the help of Minerva (owner) and her great team, they were able to place me in a Fortune 500 company. The interviewing process for the company I worked for took 5 interviews. Minerva and her team were great in making sure that all details of the process and next steps were clearly outlined, and I felt I had a true support in each time I went in for the next round of interviewing.

I ended up staying with the company they placed me in for 3 years (before I moved to PA). I'm sad to see some poor reviews on here, and that is definitely why I wanted to take a minute to give my honest review of Taylor Hodson. So often people don't always remember to review a company or service when they are exceptional - usually it's the few that had a poor experience for whatever reason. Don't let the few who wrote poor reviews here sway you from Taylor Hodson. I wish I had written this positive review years ago! I suppose late is better than not at all :-)

Taylor Hodson was recommended to me by a trusted friend who'd worked with them in the past. They got me in to interview quickly, got me work quickly and have worked with my flux between true temp work and finding a long term temp to hire position. They've been great to other people I've sent their way. They've been supportive when I've had bad temping assignments to get me out of there. They've also helped me find a really great job that I hope to turn permanent. Also, when there was a paycheck snafu, they went above and beyond to make sure I got paid. They're professionalism and kindness has not gone unnoticed. And if I do get hired full time by my current temp employer, I will miss them!

I don't have time for a thorough review at the moment, but I couldn't read all the negative reviews without offering my INTENSELY disparate opinion. I have been overwhelmingly happy with my Taylor Hodson experience. I am about to attend my second interview through this agency. The first was with a highly prestigious firm; yet while I appreciated the opportunity, it might not have been the greatest fit for me and I believe my interviewer agreed.

But Kathryn recognizes my professional strengths; she immediately set me up with an interview for another position that I believe will be more my speed. In addition, she has been kind and extremely thorough in helping me prepare for interviews. I can only imagine that the candidates who left negative reviews lack either the qualifications or the level of polish Taylor Hodson feels comfortable submitting to top clients.

I met nearly everyone who was in the office during my first visit - a team of exceptionally open and helpful ladies - and I am more than a little irritated to see them bashed like this on Yelp.

I was contacted via telephone by Cathy M. on Oct 15 after I responded to an ad on Craigslist. At the time, the job didn't seem like a good fit but I told her I would call her the next time I was planning to be in the city so I could complete an application, meet her, her learn about other opportunities and such. She agreed. I called her back Nov 5 and the receptionist took my name, put me on hold and then told me Cathy was on the other line, but would call me back.

She was ready to hang up, but I asked if I could leave my telephone number since I doubted that Cathy still had my resume from two weeks earlier. The receptionist took my number, but Cathy never called back. I received an e-mail from Cynthia M. on Oct 21 regarding a job I had applied to on CareerBuilder on Sep 26. I informed Cynthia that the hiring firm had unfortunately, already seen my resume through another recruiter back in September.

She responded that she would keep me in mind if other opportunities should arise. I e-mailed her again Nov 4 to inquire if she would like me to stop by their office to complete a new candidate application since I would be in the neighborhood several days, I did not get a response from her either. So far, my first two impressions of them are not very favorable.
