Philly Temps & Perm Reviews

I will admit I was a little wary at first, since I have never gone through a temp agency before, but I was quickly put at ease. The Philly Temps team was extremely responsive and helpful. This isn't a factory. It's a small office, and there are actual people there with names and faces who will sit down and talk about your needs, interests and professional background. Their staffing agents were always available and genuinely committed to finding something that would fit my personality. They were able to accurately represent and even promote my professional skills to employers.

I was looking for both immediate part-time work and full-time placement. They provided both. Within a week, I was working a catering job and making money. I was always provided with a lot of information so I knew exactly what to expect when entering a new assignment.

Because of their timeliness and care, I was able to (quickly) land a great full-time, salaried (with benefits) position as a legal secretary which I have held now for over a year!

I have recommended Philly Temps to several friends for temp and temp to perm work and will continue to do so. A+!!

The staff at Philly temps are great! The assignments are always local and the pay is pretty good. They have carpools available for those who do not drive and the hours are usually not too late (2am -). I would recommend them to anyone in the food service/catering industry who is looking for part time work at reputable companies in the Philadelphia area.

The employee a large white man was rude and trite. He immediately asked if I read their website and did not take my resume, but informed me I would have to fax my resume. He asked about my experience and became irritated with my response. The employee ushered me out door with a small strip of paper. I would not recommend this staffing agency. The lack professionalism most likely extends to the companies Philly Temps services.

Alexa Bogan (staffing manager) was great and very supportive! I truly value the experience I gained from working at Philly Temps.

If I could recommend anything to the job hunters out there, make sure your resume and cover letter is proofread. Most times, people won't take you seriously if you don't represent yourself in a well manner. Take the time to make it perfect so that Philly Temps can take the time to find you something perfect!

I got hired with Philly Temps over the summer and was only presented with three work assignments, one per month. They had more job postings on their website but nothing new came up for the whole summer. I do not think they have a lot of assignments but use those to attract potential employees. The overall company was nice and the people were also nice.

Philly Temps is a great agency. First their employees are friendly from Lori who handles the checks to Alexa who put on me on assignments to John and Tina who I have also worked with.

I reached out to Philly Temps after seeing an ad on Craigslist. I sent my resume and got an email pretty quickly. I then took a prove it test and came in for an interview. The interview was pretty much standard and Alexa was very welcoming and thorough in explaining everything. She tried to get me an assignment that week, and the next week I was working. This was the fastest placement ever that I received at a temp agency. My situation was unique, and I wasn't really expecting too much so they exceeded my expectations.

The assignments that I have been on or been offered have all fit exactly what I was looking for, the pay was good and they were at nice places.

I do wish they offered direct deposit, but most of my assignments have been near the office, plus they are open early and will mail your checks.

I recommend them to my family and my friends, and to all of you reading this as well.

Philly Temps offers placement in administrative settings and catering. I was placed within 1 week for my first catering assignment. I love Philly Temps because you can work as much or as little as you want. It is perfect for college students or a parent like myself who has to work around your partner's schedule. If you are reliable and available to work, they will keep you busy! I also enjoy the variety of working with different catering companies in many different settings. It gives you a good feel for the industry and you never get bored. The staff at Philly Temps are friendly, organized and accommodating. They always ask how the assignment went and if there were any issues which need addressed with the catering company. They truly want to make your experience enjoyable and make sure you are being treated fairly. The owner has come to several events (on a weekend!) to personally meet the staff, which says a lot about her commitment and involvement in the company. I would highly recommend this agency for anyone who is looking for fast placement and ongoing assignments in the catering industry.

If you are looking for employment, look no further than Philly Temp.
From the first phone call as to how to go about joining their agency to my job placement, they have been wonderful, helpful , kind, professional and skillful in which type of jobs they considered me for. It took less than a month and they have attained for me gainful employment in a great and professional atmosphere. Thanks to Hanne and all the staff at Philly Temps.

Philly Temps was the first job I got after completing my undergrad. My first assignment was the move in of students, it was a great experience, the day was long and the work was hard but I truly had a great time. Soon after that assignment I began working conventions and catering. The experience working a wide range of events relative to academia, community, social, hospitality, and much more was the best part.

The staff at Philly temps are very friendly and honest. They have always done a great job preparing the employees for events, and informing us on what the event might expect.

Not every assignment will be exciting and not every assignment promises good hours and good money, however, if you are reliable, friendly, and ready to work to will find yourself a perfect fit here. I was blessed to go from a temp position into the full time position I am currently working. I am happy that I can count on them whenever I need some extra cash.

I can't thank Stefanie enough for helping me to further my career! She found me a perfect fit in a position where I am able to take on more responsibility and have found upward mobility.
It was a struggle finding a job on my own; for over 6 months I was filling out applications / writing cover letters / taking tests and performing 3-part interviews with no luck.
I'm grateful to have decided to become a temp and have the agency do the work for me - because it has paid off with a permanent position in my company!
