Hello My name is Latarsha Goldsmith
I have been an employee of A-1 Personnel since January 30, 2013. Since day one the staff has been wonderfu. Everyone is very nice and pleasent. I have not had any problems if they make changes I recieve an email, if we need to turn in payroll early I would get proper notification. I love the fact that they are very organized and on top of everything. I am still on the job that I started with at A-1.
Thanks for evrything and keep up the good work.

My experience with A-1 has been nothing but pleasant. Zee is very good at what he does in all aspects. The rest of their staff is very helpful as well. They all have patience and will find answers to your questions no matter what it takes. I would highly recommend A-1 Personnel to anyone I know who is searching for a great job. Thank you, Zee and A-1 for finding me a happy place!

Mr Zee at A1 Personnel was excellent in following up on every detail. Not only was he helpful in securing the interview, following up on every detail all the to the hire on at the City of Houston, He helped me in getting my employment verification to the proper channels in order for me to get approval to proceed in moving in to my new apartment. The staff at A1 live up to there business title five stars all the way around. The main thing is keep your staff lifted up in prayer

A-1 Personnel is TOP notch! I am veteran and they have taken such good care of all my employment needs. Zee Haidary is my recruiter. I needed some additonal help being placed into a position with Harris County quickly and he was all over it. Zee went ABOVE and BEYOND to help place me and due to his skill and attention I was placed into a great position. The speed at which he placed me saved me from from bill trouble. His communication and kindness is a pleasure to work with. If you need to be placed into a great job, A1 Personnel is the place to go. Zee also has experience working with our military and looks forward to helping veterans or any other person for that matter. Again Thank you A1 Personnel and Zee!

I am so glad to see the reviews are good, but I don't have that testimony. Been with this company almost a year and I have yet to be hire. Pass Every test they have given and have report my availability every monday. Nobody call and say nothing. I call and leave messages and No one calls back.. What am I doing wrong? I have 30 plus yrs of Clerical Experience.

I sent in my documentation for payment MONTHS ago. If there was a problem with the documentation, a company representative should have notified me. They do not allow phone communication so I can only email. Having a contact person in the company would make it seem like someone cared.

Mr. Zee was great from beginning to end. He did everything he said he would and within the time frame he set. My background came up, which it shouldn't have, and instead of automatically dismissing me, Mr. Zee and the place of employment still gave me a chance. I'm forever thankful. Mr. Zee is the man!!!!!

How is that a A1 requires so much from a candidate yet their staff is unprofessional starting with Zee Haidary . I have been applying for jobs with this company for sometime now . I sent my resume to this rude guy after an email was sent to my email about a job position that required bilingual I also implied in my email to be removed from their email mailings due to never hearing from anyone after applying many times over a year . Well up until today when satan found entertainment in Mr.Haidary to call me. Now , I have applied to jobs that do not require bilingual yet no reply . So , today I applied and asked to be removed due to seeing bilingual preferred and in some jobs it is not (Well no I am not bilingual yet I still applied ) I may not be bilingual yet I am well qualified for any jobs that come before me . However, Mr . Zee got mad I assume from my email I am certain and have the nerve to call my phone today at 12:48 ask if I am bilingual I in return said no and hung he just up in my face (Caller Id itself tells on many , yet they still try to act ) . Oh I get it A1 personnel has to email a list of candidates whom obviously make them seem as if they truly working themselves & helping others . ... A simple email or even a removal from their list would have been just fine -by me . But no satan himself had to find Zee to entertain today of all days 1-28-16 . By the way I am an honest person if was not Zee I apologize . And to whomever that took the time to coming for a Child of God (GOD bless you child!!!) If "0" were a star you failed ....

I have found A-1 Personnel staff to be honest, efficient, and a pleasure to work with. I am employed in a position where my hours change with the seasons, and they are undaunted by my irregular W-4 changes. In addition, I work on Saturdays, which can sometimes mean my timesheet arrives later than they would like; nonetheless, I am always paid on time. Highly recommended.

They were really quick about helping me out. My recruiter Veronica Garcia is amazing. She helped me get employment, first & foremost!! She kept me updated everyday when there were job opportunities available. She walked me through a lot of steps and helped me get through the whole necessary processes. She was very detailed & helpful when it came to taking the proper steps of applying to a job, completing all necessary paperwork, how to look & be ready for the interview, & so much more. As soon as I applied/working with A1 Personnel, she was quick to respond to me. They are really fast in helping you out. Ms Aurora Torres was another recruiter who was also helping me out & she was just as awesome!! If you really set your mind and follow it all the way thru, this company is the one to go to. Thank you!!

I was interested in employment with Harris County Toll Road Authority. According to HCTRA's website, I needed to register with ONLY ONE out of four available personnel agencies. This was the first time I had ever had to go through an agency for a job opening. A-1 Personnel was the closest to my residence, which is why I chose them.

I completed the registration form and faxed it to A-1 Personnel and drove to the office on Westpark a few days later to follow up on the fax to see if it had been received and processed. Unfortunately, I had arrived at lunch, but Ms. Veronica Garcia did assist me and that was the beginning of our communication, mostly via email. After some concern on my part that the registration may not have gone to the correct fax with particularly sensitive information on it, Ms. Garcia found the registration and my process began.

During this period, I was looking for other employment and I did receive a fair amount of invitations for sales and marketing positions and some rejections from other retail establishments, but I was hoping for a little luck with HCTRA. The registration was faxed in Early January 2019 and Ms. Garcia notified me January 30th that I had been selected by HCTRA as a Customer Service Representative candidate following the interview with HCTRA the previous day. I was very pleased.

One important thing I did after getting directed to A-1 Personnel's website was to read their posted information and learn their process to make their job easier to get this applicant to employment. I could not get employed by HCTRA without their help.

I do appreciate the assistance Ms. Garcia and her associates at A-1 Personnel was able to give me and I thank HCTRA for giving me this opportunity.

I truly don't understand this company at all. They don't ever pick up their phones but ironically enough when you show up in person, they are all at their desk on the phone or computer. I even left a voicemail numerous times and no response. They will email you(so-so) saying they have openings and to send your resume but I already sent my resume to them numerous times. When you ask for certain jobs they ignore you or tell you to look on their website. Then they will send an email out to everyone, hoping for people to send resumes to fit their job. I gave them my direct deposit information in the office, email and over the phone and they still couldn't find my info and asked me for it or they are just too lazy to find it themselves. They emailed about a warehouse job that pays $9/hr(which I only accepted because I was unemployed) and it was only a 2 day assignment (Monday and Thursday). I told them I want a regular 40hour work week job. This company doesn't care, unorganized and unprofessional. Go somewhere else that will take you serious if you are looking for work. Screw these clowns.

A1 Personnel is an awesome staffing company. My recruiter Veronica was amazing!! She was fast, efficient and explained everything to me about the position I applied for. With her help, I was able to land a great position for a government client. Overall, A1 is a great place to apply! I highly recommend it and Veronica when searching for better job opportunities!

I highly recommend this place. I had been trying for years to get a great job that l loved. I had no success until I reached out to Zee Haidry. He went beyond what he could. Now because of his efforts I have a job that I love to do . The employees there are excellent

A-1 Personnel is a great staffing agency. After being unemployed for over a month, and applying to over a hundred jobs, Veronica called me up about an assignment working for Harris County. She was very sweet and efficient. I finished the whole new hire process in a week, and was ready to go to work the following week.NOW THAT'S GREAT SERVICE . THANKS Veronica for this wonderful opportunity and giving me the chance to prove that I was a great fit for this position.

I joined A1 Personnel to get an opportunity to work for an organization that needed good work. The staff at A1, the orientation, and the easy timesheet and direct deposit has made this company one I can recommend to anyone needing to get employed. Thank you A1 for getting me the work I enjoy

At first I was skeptical about the whole process. And After turning in my application and not hearing anything for about 2 weeks I gave up on the process. But shortly following I was contacted by Veronica who was amazing. She was great when it came to communicating every detail that was going on in the process. All within a week, she found a position for me, got my paperwork done, got my interview schedule, got my skills test done and I was hired!

I've had a very awesome experience with A-1 Personnel. My recruiter was Veronica. From the first day I spoke to her, she has been in constant communication with me regarding my job search. I applied online, took some tests online (required on some jobs), and submitted required paperwork . Each necessary step was communicated to me very clearly. I am very happy to report that I was offered a position today - one week from the day I first spoke to Veronica. It is up to you to comply with all requirements in a timely manner so you can find a job sooner than later. Believe me, they want to help you find employment. I cannot say enough about Veronica - she is very professional and courteous and she will do everything to assist you with your job search. Contact Veronica - she's waiting for your call! Thanks Veronica!

Read all the reviews and was hesitant to call and get started with this Temp agency. Then I saw the last review was done in 2010...ok, lets check them out. I didn't get the job I had applies for but, they worked with me and I got a great job! The people there are the nicest people to work with. Shame on those hateful people writing bad things about this company. I encourage you to call and get started!

I have known about this agency for about 3 years now and I have always heard great things about them. I recently received a job opening via email and I sent in my resume to Zee Haidary and he was able to provide me all the information about the position. He answered all of my question and was very friendly and professional at all times.

When I went into the agency for my orientation, the staff was very professionally dressed, great atmosphere and the office was very clean and organized. I am currently hired by them and I am currently seeking a permanent position with Harris County. They process has been very smooth! I can't complaint!

I have had the opportunity to work with A- 1 Personnel of Houston since July of 2014. My experience with this staffing agency has been great. Everyone on the A-1 staff has always been very professional and attentive to my needs as an A-1 employee. I have recently accepted another job offer, but would definitely consider using their services in the future.

My cousin recommend me to A-1 personnel since I was looking to work in a different environment then retail. At the beginning it was fast and simple to apply. It does take time to be considered and hired so be patient. I had given up myself however all of a sudden it was like there was a light at the end of the tunnel. I received and interview and it was a great one! Thankfully Veronica staying in contact with me after I had given up and she surprised me with an interview. Thank you!!! Looking forward to my new assignment.

I am newish to Houston Texas, my experience with Zee Haidary was exceptional. I can t Recommend Zee Haidary Strongly enough he is by far the best person and recruiter I have come across. He is very humble and thoughtful guy.

I called and outline my current situation, Mr. Haidary told me to come to my office with your resume.

First thing, He told me I feel your situation and I put myself in your position that was a touching sentence. in few minutes he told me, re write your resume, add summary, area of expertise and technical skill, bring an impressive resume and you will find job quickly, I did exactly what he advise me to do.

I repost my resume in Zip Recruiter. Resulted in finding a best job within a week. Unfortunately Not with his company, but with different company. Because of his best advice and encouraging words. My life has been change.

I strongly recommend A 1 Personnel to any job seeker in the market, I will refer as many as possible people.

Ms. Aurora Torres has been very helpful to me. I've had documents that i needed signed and turned in immediately, and she sends them back to me very quickly. Anytime I had a question she either helped me herself or would direct me in the right direction, giving me all necessary information. She was very helpful and persistent on helping me land a job (which I did) and start quickly. I just happen to do an interview with the company today in hopes of being here permanently. They will find you really awesome jobs. Thanks A-1 Personnel, especially Ms. Torres

I just got a new job at a great client with this company. All are very helpful and always nice. They go above and beyond to help those in need of a job. Veronica was my recruiter and she was hands down the sweetest kind person that you could ever meet. I'm not sure why people are leaving such low ratings on here. This is a temporary agency. Its a way to get your foot in the door with a great company. I am thankful for A-1 personnel putting me in a position that I am happy with.

I have had the pleasure of working with Zee Haidary for several months now. Zee is loyal, honest and above all has empathy. He always goes above and beyond. Since our first meeting he has guided me hand-and-hand in finding interviews and landing me a job. He has the great matchmaking sense and positive attitude that makes you walk into an interview already feeling like a winner. Follow up on the suggestions and guidance Zee provides and you will find success. I am happier now that I have even been career wise and I have A-1 Personnel but most importantly Zee to thank for that!

It's been a month haven't heard anything. They send emails about a position. Veronica says no faxes only emails tried to email her about the job and the email wouldn't work. This was not a good experience with this company. Was getting very upset from no responses. All you have to do is let the person know you don't have anything or they don't qualify. They don't deserve this one star at all.

I worked with Zee Haidary at A- 1 Personnel of Houston (Employment agency) who is extremely passionate about his job and well equipped with all the qualities required of a great recruiter. He is highly knowledgeable, honest and know very well about Houston IT Market Overall working with A-1 Personnel has been great and I would highly recommend to other job seekers.

I highly recommend A-1 Personnel to anyone looking for a job of their favorite.

I recently moved to Houston, Texas. I was seeking an employment, and the staffing agencies were my primary option to start. I tried many other staffing agencies and job fairs before finding A-1 Personnel, which none of them were any help. To my experience A-1 Personnel stands way beyond the excellent. Their recruiters were very friendly and professional. I applied for some positions that were processed by Ms. Veronica and Ms. Mayra. They both did a great job following up on my applications.

I had a face to face preliminary interview with Ms. Veronica before she sent out my application to her client. She was very professional and clear on explaining the job. It led to an interview with their client a few days later, however I did not get that job which is totally fine with me, I know someone else did a great job at the interview and sure he/she deserve to get the job. Everyone applying for same position can t get the job right? So one has to stand out!

I kept applying for other positions that matched my qualifications, and I received a call from Harris County for a face to face interview. I did well at the interview and proved myself to be the right match for the position they were looking for to fill. Finally I did get the job that I was looking for. I can t thank A-1 Personnel enough for their great work.

I was immediately greeted upon entry. I spoke with the front desk she was very professional and informative. I was a walk in. I was able to speak with two recruiters whom was very professional and enthusiastic about helping find work. Zee and Veronica are Great. My first impression was Great. I look forward and trust them with helping me find career.

I have to say my experience with Zee Haidary at A1 Personal has been great. I walked into A1 Personal a year ago and told Zee I wanted to work full-time with the City of Houston. He took a 10 second look at my resume and said this resume will not get you a job . I was crushed, and asked well what can I do to change that . He told me about ten things that I needed to change on my resume and he allowed me to make the changes at the office. And the rest is history By the way in less than year I was offered to full time position with the City of Houston and received and great pay increase. Zee Haidary is a great recruiter and I would greatly refer him to anyone who is serious looking for employment.

I don't recommen this company, is out of total ethics, they make you to sign a paper that says if you quit the job before 120 hours they will pay you the minimum wage $ 7.50 and if you work require driving your car they won't pay for your gas, and obviously you are allowe to work only 40 hours per week, with no benefits, just think really good about it, you deserve something better than that.

I would like to recommend A1 Personnel to anyone searching for employment. Ms. Anjana and the staff are very helpful in placing qualified job seekers in the appropriate positions. I was always paid on time and never had a problem or issue that was not addressed in a timely manner. I am currently working full-time with a permanent position with great benefits which started as a temporary assignment. The owners are wonderful people and I wish them much success!
