Critical: Quality, Value Not truthful. My mama told me before I moved out here not to trust anyone. Horrible experience. They get your personal information and never help you while you suffer they are relaxing in their offices eating tacos and sipping on Starbucks.

I want to thank Helpmates for helping me secure a job extremely fast! They are responsive and will answer any questions you have. Damien especially who is my contact for finding work has helped me tremendously. Was out of work for a few weeks for personal problems at home and called to see if they had work available and they always have something available to start either the following week or right away! If anyone needs a job, give these guys a call and start earning! Thanks Helpmates and Damien!

This company is getting one star because they left a flyer on the passenger side window of my car. That means I have to drive around looking at it and then try to remember to grab it when I get out again. Beside the fact that windshield fliers are bad for the environment because people throw them on the ground, this company obviously does not do a good job of training their staff if they have not instructed their staff to place the flyer on the driver's side.

Let me just say this company is great! Very helpful staff everyone is so nice and welcoming. They are very quick and concise about getting you a position that works for you. I recently moved and reached back out to Diane who is always so nice and helpful she was there for me when nobody was. My mother passed and she helped me get a position that kept me afloat during my time of need. Nancy is always so happy to provide help. I'd love for others to work here long term short term its just a great environment

Critical: Professionalism, Value Wasted a lot of my time, helpmates has the worst online application, you have to fill out 8 different employment histories, the I went in to interview for a company twice, they called my references twice asked crazy questions only to give me a low ball offer.

Do not call this employment agency! they say they will call you and they don't. and if you happen to want to work for them because you're desperate, do not ask for daisy. she is the culpret. she doesn't deliver. she says she'll have someone reachout or says she will but never does. a waste of time!
