These people are dishonest, unprofessional and awful. They call you in, have you fill out paperwork, rewrite your resume, and tell you they have plenty of jobs that might be a good fit. I went on two interviews and that was it. Never heard from anyone again. They didn't have the decency to let me know I didn't get the jobs. Nothing.
BEST AGENCY I have come in contact with hands-down. Ainsley helped me secure a job with exactly everything I wanted PLUS so much more. She was always quick to email me back and even went out of her way to check in on me during the process. Excellent communication and now I am working for one of the best firms in DC with incredible people. So thankful for Ainsely and all of her hard work!!!! Amazing!!!
I have worked with The Ford Agency for more than 10-years and have always found them to be a great company; professionally managed and staffed. I have hired a number of their candidates over the years and have always been impressed with the quality of their temporary staff.
I highly recommend.
Wow they are awesome. Upon arriving to DC, I had a whole summer ahead of me with no plans before starting my PhD in the fall. Out of 6 agencies, the Ford agency was the fastest to get me placed and working. I've made hundreds of dollars that my husband and I weren't even expecting. Im so glad I applied and I wouldn't work for any other agency!
get me placed
They're awesome! The day of my interview, they already had me working. Now I'm working full time with a client!
I would definitely recommend this agency to anyone looking for temp or temp to hire positions.
Wow!! I just got off the phone with Diana, who is the Founder/President of the Ford agency, and it was an overwhelmingly great experience.
To make a long story short, I had a small mix up with an employee on the phone and Diana gave me a call to follow up on the matter.
She not only atoned for the mix up, but also gave me extraordinary customer service. Diana is very serious when she says that customer service is very important to her and her team at the Ford Agency.
I will be sure to continue to sing Diana's praises anytime a colleague or co-worker asks me about the Ford Agency. Thanks again Diana!
Filled out multiple applications online. Received an email to follow-up and to schedule a phone chat...never received a call. I called to speak with the recruiter and she was "on another call" the girl I ended up speaking with had a smug, nasty tone and attitude and immediately asked what my salary requirements were. I guess my requirements were too high because I never heard back, not even a declination letter. Although, based on her demeanor, I wasn't convinced she would even pass my message along, let alone my resume. I'm actually annoyed because I'm new to the area and have over 11 years of HR and Recruiting experience; I feel like you all missed out.
They are a sales staffing organization but wont accept other people to offer them services. Bad policy and leadership.
This agency is very helpful. Super friendly, always accommodating, and very quick to respond. I usually don't write reviews (no they didn't ask me to write one, either) but I had to with this one. Id recommend anyone job hunting to contact them. They rock!
UPDATE: I gave them a 4 star review. The Ford Agency amended the issues that had transpired. Even though there was an issue of when I was exiting the position, one of Ford representatives reached out to me, and they requested me to work for the last of my two weeks, even though it was 4 to 5 hours.
I gave them a three stars for a reason.
Good company in regards to you finding employment fast, if you have a good amount of skills and experience.
But communication towards the end of employment was not so great.
Now I understood before hand that putting in my two weeks notice was also contingent upon them finding my replacement.
But what bothers me is, that I found out by the company that they have the contract with when my last day was as oppose to them sending an e-mail to me of when my last day would be.
That put me out of work for a week and we all know how much of week's difference that can be.
Good company to work for, but beware of communication concerns.
