Update 2/23/2017: Never heard from them again. Pretty sure I got called back just so they could ask me to update my rating. Updating it again to my original score.

Update 2/4/2015: I was contacted by Greg Myers, the president of Option 1 staffing this morning who formally apologized for the experience I had and said he'd handle my case personally to ensure my satisfaction. I have to say I did not expect this and I found it very courteous and professional. That is not something that I would expect most companies to do and for that I'm willing to bump up my score a bit.

Original Review: Was called by them after putting my resume up on Monster. Went in for an interview which was pleasant and the woman who interviewed me named Paula was sweet. She said she was considering me for a job in Sunnyvale doing similar work to the work I am currently doing.

I was then offered a position a week later by a woman named Sarah who wanted me to work up at Stanford, which is a little out of the way for me but I was interested anyways. After calling me saying she was going to do a background check and would call me for an interview the next week, I suddenly got a call the next week from her basically asking me to accept the job on the spot. I am currently working already and I found it a little unprofessional that they would want me to accept a job on the spot without wrapping up my previous engagements. She also contacted the wrong phone number after I specifically gave her a number to contact me.

Long story short, I found the overall experience a little unprofessional. She apparently made a mistake as to where I was actually located and in the end I was rudely told that they "can't work with me". Maybe they are helpful for some people, but I was left with a very bitter taste in my mouth.
