It does not allow ZERO STARS, so they get 1...the explanation is rather simply. 9 months, 1 interview. Follow ups? None.

Possibly the single worst professional staffing company in the area. They have you come in for an interview, jump through dozens of hoops and courses, make you get "credentialed" then do nothing. Documents that were sent to them 2-3 months prior, and verified through email records, were lost, excused as not being received, or that "we do not have it on record."

You spend more time chasing them around, following up on why the ARE NOT doing anything for you, than doing work. In 9 months, I have had 1 interview. 1! Do they care when I call, email or wonder why they are not working harder? No.

Jennifer K. is the single worst of FMA's staff. She does not return emails. She does not return voicemails. Her "assistant" allegedly leaves her messages, she does not call or email. Jennifer does not care about you or your job status one iota.

If FMA cannot get the hourly rate they want, and from some sources they are very high, they will not apply for you. In the end, you do not get job interviews because it is not in their business interest. They are either asking too much per hour or not working hard enough.

Another issue - they do not ever listen or adapt. When confronted with problems about your experience, they simply harp on these blockades to your success. Instead of finding job alternatives, they say "You do not have 2-3 years experience in this arena...." - Well, find jobs that do not require that level within your job search. I mean, this is job placement 101. FMA fails here.

I could literally post the DOZENS of emails and over 50 calls left for FMA the past 9 months, almost all unreturned or unanswered, but I think you get the point.

No, I would not recommend FMA to anyone, for any job, at any time. For a potential employee with 4 degrees and current clinical certifications, this is just inexcusable.

All FMA does is come up with excuses as to why you cannot get an interview instead of finding a job that suits your resume. I have had more interviews working on my own, minus the excuses, than this company and I am not even familiar with the area.

Their reviews with 3-4 stars must be all "canned" reviews by someone. Again, having worked with six-figure only staffing services and getting interviews and JOBS....FMA is poorly connected, poorly staffed and woefully prepared to get legitimate, good paying jobs.

Would you work for $12 an hour with two Master's degrees? You can make $12.50 now at Burger King. Wow.

If getting paid is important don't work here. I was sent out on a job that I was told was indefinite. The second week I reported to work the company hired permanent staff. I was told to leave my desk and work out off the copy room they did however let me finish out the work week. The FMA confirmed verified receiving my time sheets. So imagine my surprise the job was over and I had not been paid. It took them three weeks after the job to send me my first check. Then they claimed they never received my second time sheet. I have a confirmed fax and phone call that my information went to payroll. So it's over 30 days and instead of getting a check I have to resubmit my paperwork. Like I am not going to summit this complaint to the dept of Labor and industry.
They are willing to send me on job interviews but do you want to work for a company that does not pay????

The staff brought me in under false pretenses that it was full-time paid work, the contract included money that I would ve owed if I missed a day of work. The hours offered were not full time , I would ve been an employee under their agency paying my own taxes. I would not recommend going in for an interview, the contract held you liable for a lot and they are simply asking for information to see whether you can meet their needs and make money off of you. You also are agreeing to work for them for 500 hours prior to accepting a full time position at this agency, meaning you are contractually liable to stay with them for about 3 months even if the agency you are working with offers you a full time position prior to this.

I spend hundreds of dollars getting this company the credentials they asked for and then $100 to get the credits for the courses they had me take! They could not place me at a job where the pay was with in $10 or what I could find online. The credentialing worker kept telling me that she had changed my resume but never said how or sent me a copy, they stopped taking my phone calls and then stopped answering emails, even after getting my LPC it took them a month to call me. Not about a placement just to see if I was still interested!
