The staff at Seattle Financial Staffing had reached out to me a couple of times over the years regarding opportunities I may be a good fit for. Always so professional and friendly. This may sound a little corny but it was almost like hearing from an old friend. When they called regarding the job with my current employer I went for it. It was right at the start of the pandemic so it was a challenge for all of us but Lisa hung in there with me.
Always letting me know what was going on and willing to answer questions. She sent me videos and pointers on interviewing, which I used, and I am positive all the prepping she helped me with is what landed me this great job! I would highly recommend them to anyone!

Quick turnaround time! I used Seattle Financial Staffing to find a new job and worked with Lacey after connecting on LinkedIn. I received an offer in my asking salary range after 3-4 weeks of initially applying. Lacey was informative and honest, providing me with useful information about the companies that she was working with. She was willing to find the right fit for me and I never felt pressured throughout the process.
I ended up finding a job that met all of the criteria that I was looking for and have been enjoying my new job ever since. Getting this type of turnaround and receiving an offer with a desired company is difficult enough, but this was all accomplished during the COVID-19 pandemic. Lacey was available and checked in with me throughout the entire process, providing useful feedback after interviews that helped me gauge how things were going. Overall, the process was extremely smooth.
