This is a great agency, do not believe any of the negative reviews! I suspect some of those are written by either unprofessional or bitter candidates that the agency can't place. I mean I saw a girl in the lobby waiting to be interviewed with ripped jeans and blue hair... come on people! My experie...

Very rude. They do not follow up with you and when you call, they don't return your calls. They call you in to get commission. The interviewer I spoke with was Katarzyna Czarnecka. She actually hung the phone up on me when I called.
