Very rude place! They do not give updates or call back. I have done assessments and passed and was turned away. Waited for two other position and Again, never called back or gave any updates. Every time I call they blame it on the client. I would have felt better if I was simply told they wouldn't like to do business with me. I honestly think they prejudge people before giving them a chance. Please be careful! Don't turn down any other positions for this company. They are Untruthful and Dishonest.!

Kent is one of the best when it comes to professionalism. Job placement is so important these day, you should consider filling that position with someone that knows the ins and outs.

The office off Creyts in Lansing is nice. Very friendly staff and helpful. They are really committed to getting you placed at great companies with great pay that fits your skill set. I couldn't be happier with assignment and I hope to become permanent. But regardless I know I'm in good hands with the team at Personnel World. Thank you very much.

I can't say enough about how great this company is. I was with them for over two years. They placed me in some great positions from the beginning. I was with my 2nd assignment for over a 1 year and a 1/2. The great owners sold the Company and I was released of my duties. I let Personnel World know that I would need to be placed in another assignment as soon as possible. Although I was working part time I let Paige know I was interested in full time.
They immediately set me up with an interview with the Career that I have now. Kent Housler and Paige Emmons at Personnel World have literally changed my life. I was hired with my beloved Employer full time with excellent benefits. If I were to say that I was forever grateful to Personnel World it would be an understatement. *********Thanks to Paige who communicated with both me and my wonderful Employer and oversaw the entire transition. Personnel World changed my life. I will be forever grateful to them.**********

I have been working through these guys for a few months now and between having to switch my shifts, to switching workplaces due to shutdowns, they have always been accommodating and very responsive. If I email them they get back to me within that same day, unless it is after hours then I hear back the next morning. But overall a very professional place to work through.
