I am so glad I went to Pacific Placement Group to help me with my job search. Everyone at Pacific Placement Group was amazing and so helpful! I worked with Erin, Amanda, Jessica, and Kelley and they were all great and so nice. They found some great opportunities for me and were constantly keeping me updated on new opportunities and the status of ongoing ones.

Wow, worst recruiting firm I have ever met. Met with Jane Groner and she was not only condescending but she was downright disrespectful. I can put up with a lot from people but she made me feel like I was worthless. She said my resume was awful. Pretty funny because another agency updated it for me. I walked out. My advice is stay away from this firm. There are many, many great firms in this town.
