Whitman Associates, Inc. Reviews

Julie was absolutely amazing, very professional and so kind as she guided me through my process! I highly suggest this organization and working with Julie.

What can I say about Whitman Associates? I've had a very unique and rewarding experience with this agency. I was contacted as a candidate seeking a job, and due to their time, patience, and relationship with the employer, I was made an offer and am now a client who has the opportunity to work with them on another level! I can rant and rave about every single person I have been in contact with, from Julie Lindgren, Rachel Butler, Rebecca Hager, I mean their staff is top notch and make providing their services seem effortless. They truly know the meaning of customer service and I am completely honored to have been placed by (and now have the ability to work directly with) this AMAZING agency! If you're looking for quality candidates, and seek a placement service for temporary or direct hire needs, look no further. Candidate or client, Whitman Associates will do their best to find the optimal solution to suit your needs. Trust me, they are your first and last stop! David L. Massey-Finance & Operations Officer

It has been great working with Julie and her team at Whitman for the past several years. I started as a temp working with them on and off for a few years and now I have become a client and reached out to them to hire temps at my new place of employment. Julie truly does have a great team that is always very nice and professional!

I can't recommend Whitman enough. These ladies are so persistent, and found me a job within three weeks of signing up. I was looking for temp, temp to perm, or perm, and they called me just about every other day with temp opportunities. After just a couple of weeks, they recommended me to my current employer which was a direct hire, no temp to perm! I love the job and they really made the effort to match me with something that fit my resume and goals.

The team at Whitman Associates is superb! Julie and her team are extremely professional and truly work hard at finding placements for their candidates. I was impressed that only a few hours after meeting with Julie she had me set up with two interviews! Working with Whitman took a lot of stress of the job hunting process and I would happily recommend them to anyone searching for a new position.Thanks Whitman!!

There is an excellent reason why Whitman Associates has been my staffing service of choice for just short of twenty years. The stellar customer service, the temporary staffing pool are professionals and the response time is fantastic. There is no need to look any further when my staffing needs are always met at Whitman.

The entire process working with Whitman was very smooth and I always felt supported. I was looking for temporary employment but I was placed with an organization that was such a great fit and amazing opportunity to enter a new field that I m happy to sat I m now a full time employee there. The team at Whitman was open, support, and proficient. I m very grateful to have found Whitman and for my experience working with them.

Whitman Associates kept me employed in a long-term placement as I looked for full-time employment. Both Julie and Kim were great to work with and I would recommend them to anyone looking for temporary or temp-to-hire work.

Right out of college, I was a temp for about 5 months until the company hired me on full time with great benefits and pay! I've heard nothing but good things about this company and will recommend to all.

Many thanks to Julie and the team at Whitman Associates!

This was the first time I had contracted with a staffing agency. I wasn't sure how early I needed to schedule a temp. Julie at Whitman was very helpful and lined up someone right away. We had a great experience with our temp. She was very competent, friendly, and an all-around good fit for our office. We've already scheduled her for two more weeks in the fall.

Whitman helped me find a temporary job that I've been with for the last few months during an in-between time in my career. They matched me with a great company and job that fits my skillset while still helping me grow. The staff, especially Rachel, are all incredibly friendly and quick to respond to any questions that I've had. I would highly recommend Whitman Associates!

I had such a positive experience with Whitman Associates, Inc. From the first day I walked into their office, everybody was so incredibly kind. They worked with me to quickly place me at an organization that provided me with such a great learning experience. I was so impressed that throughout the placement process, they maintained strong communication channels with me and were so quick to reply to any question I had. Thank you so much Whitman Associates, Inc; I am so grateful for the work that you all do!

I highly recommend Whitman Associates, Inc. to anyone looking for employment. I had a wonderful experience with them and have referred a few friends to the agency. I turned in my resume on a Saturday and by that Thursday I had my first temp assignement. The staff is very professional and friendly. If you are looking for a good temp agency, try Whitman Associates.

Whitman is an amazing staffing agency. Our non-profit uses Whitman on a regular basis and we always receive the best temp employees with the relevant experience for our needs.

Whitman Associates found me a full-time position...in the middle of a global pandemic, no less! I cannot speak highly enough of my experience with this agency. The team is made up of incredibly helpful, kind, and hardworking professionals who repeatedly went above and beyond for me. I am so grateful - thank you, Whitman!

Julie and Whitman Associates have been wonderful to our organization over many years. They have provided us with top notch temporary employees, some of which we have converted to full-time hires. We are always impressed with the caliber of candidates that we get and how skilled they are when they come in. They always hit the ground running and have been tremendously helpful to us. We love working with Whitman and very much value our partnership.

I am currently a temp for Whitman Associates, Inc. I am in an in-between place right now figuring out where I want to work post earning my doctorate. This was the first company to get back to me when I applied on their website, within a week I was all signed up, paperwork filled out and ready to go. Julie is a delight, she always makes sure you have a job that suits you. I signed up early November but I had to be out of town from Nov. 13-15, she already had jobs for me but worked with my schedule. She really cares. Rachel makes sure you get paid weekly, even when I lost my time sheet, she made sure I got paid. She will even call you if there are any questions she has to make sure you get paid. Diana is also great, she makes sure to follow up with job opportunities as well. Point is that everyone at Whitman does their best to make sure you get a solid temp job. They will call and email you until they find you! Moreover, they work with some really interesting businesses in the DC Metro area, places I didn't even know existed. You can make some great connections. If you need temp work sign up immediately with Whitman Associates.

Whitman Associates helped place me quickly with some outstanding temp opportunities. The staff is very professional and worked quickly (just a few days) to help find me work with some of the best offices in Washington DC. I highly recommend that anyone looking for work reach out to Whitman.

If you're looking for a job and have some experience on your resume, apply with this agency. They communicate quickly, pay you promptly, and don't waste your time with opportunities that don't fit your needs or interests. I didn't end up finding a full-time position through them, but they found me temporary positions that let me continue developing my skills (and learn new software!) while I searched.

Due to COVID-19, my full-time job plans changed and Whitman made it such an easy process finding a temporary job during this crazy time. Diana and Julie are so helpful and I would recommend Whitman to anyone!

I was very impressed with Whitman from the moment I contacted them. Those helping me were friendly, professional, and extremely helpful.The Microsoft training given to me was a great.

Most of all, I wanted to thank Julie Lindgren who spent additional time helping me. I was a bit depressed about my current job situation and I received the advice and pep talk I really needed. I came out of there feeling like a million bucks and landed the job of my dreams just a week later.
I will recommend Whitman to everyone looking for a change in career.

A true pleasure working with Julie and her staff. We had a large conference in DC, and needed very professional and friendly temps to help us out. We were not disappointed. Thank you, again Julie, Rachel and Rosalyn and the rest of the staff!

The staff at Whitman is very helpful, kind, and competent. They had me placed at a 6 month assignment within less than 3 days. Highly recommended to anyone new to the area looking for work, or even if you aren't new.

Been "with them" (and I say that VERY loosely) for over a year and have NEVER been sent on a job, don't waste your time... they didn't help me at all.... but I guess my 20 plus years of experience meant nothing at all to them and maybe they just want recent college grads only.... :(

I started working with Whitman Associates in August of 2019. Both Julie and Rachel are by far two of the most hard working women I've ever met. You are not just a temp. You are a person who is looking for work and they do whatever they can to assist you. I would wholeheartedly recommend them to any who is working for work due to a variety of reasons. They will take care of you.

Working with Whitman Associates has been a great pleasure. Of all the agencies I contacted, Whitman is the only one to diligently follow up and stay committed to helping me find employment. The entire staff is friendly and professional, and they truly care about finding the best fit for their clients. Although I'm excited about my position going permanent, I will miss my weekly interactions with Julie, Linda and Lindsey! Forget about the rest, Whitman is the best!

This is a small company, but the Level of service is HUGE!! Whitman Associates was referred to me when I was in a complete bind... As a VP of a large commercial real estate company, I had very specific and immediate staffing requirements that I did not think could be met! Julie is a gem --She promised me that she would take care my needs; and she DELIVERED!! Both she and her Assistant Riley provided me with EXCEPTIONAL service... My 'TEMP' who was hand-picked for me by Julie, is extremely smart, professional and dedicated. She is so WONDERFUL that we cannot wait for her to accept our offer and join us on her PERMANENT career path! THANKS WHITMAN ASSOCIATES!!

Whitman was a responsive and efficient partner in helping me find temporary work. Every person I interacted with on staff was helpful and communicative. I would work with Whitman again if I was looking for job placement.

I wish there were more stars to give because they deserve it! Whitman Associates is always the best! First off, they have the best customer service. Julie and her team bend over backward to get you the best staff and in the most timely manner. We have used them several times now and every time we do, the temp staff are stellar! Professional, proactive and very customer focused. I don't want to use any other companies for our temp staff needs. Needless to say, I HIGHLY recommend Whitman Associates!

I have a varied background in different fields and it made it hard for me to find a suitable position for my experience level. Julie recognized my skills, helped me present myself in the most effective way, and advocated for me with employers. She found me a temp-to-permanent position with a GREAT Dc nonprofit and I could not be happier with my new job or the guidance I received from Julie and her team. I would highly recommend Julie and Whitman Associates!

After returning from my Peace Corps service in Guatemala in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, I found myself in the job hunt after months abroad. Luckily, I came across Whitman Associates while searching for opportunities online. While I did not get the position I applied for, they set up an interview to review my resume a day later. I had my interview with Diana, who was professional and easy to talk to. She said she would call back as soon as there was a position that I would be a good fit for. Within a couple of days she called back with a temporary position available with a global health care non-profit. The turn around was quick, I started working less than a week after I accepted the position. Thankfully, Whitman was there for me every step of the way and made sure all of my paperwork was in order and that I received the necessary equipment.
I am very thankful to have come across their posting on LinkedIn and would absolutely recommend them to anyone!

The folks at Whitman worked quickly and thoroughly to help me find my next job. From my initial interview to the offer, I could always expect fast and reliable communication, even around the holidays. And I am so happy with the office where I ended up. I would definitely recommend them for your full time job search.

Whitman moved very fast! Julie called me to discuss a position shortly after I left the office. They have great relationships with their clients and treat their temp staff very well. Whitman definitely deserves the stars and feedback given.

I was placed in an editorial job by Julie at Whitman Associates after retiring from the federal government. Julie knew exactly the type of job that I was searching for and recommended the perfect position for me. Although I've dealt primarily with Julie, all employees with whom I have had contact have always been professional, proactive, and quick to respond to any questions. I have referred several prospective clients to Whitman Associates and will continue to do so. Whitman Associates is a first class recruiting agency!

I want to be very honest in my review. I had been working with a multitude of staffing agencies (some of which are located within walking distance of Whitman) and I have never come across a more professional and responsive team. I was given resume tips as well as feedback right after my interview. Placement agencies can be difficult to get a hold of, but Diana helped me tremendously in the process. I would like to give special recognition to Ms. Julie the VP who took my search into her own hands and contacted me directly. They are transparent in their job description and take your needs as top priority. I felt valued from the moment I spoke to them and that was very encouraging. I would recommend this agency to anyone searching without hesitation!

I've used Whitman Associates' services to find a temp job while I waited for other opportunities. Regardless of your situation, folks at Whitman will go above and beyond to accommodate your needs for employment. The Whitman crew is very responsive and professional. I highly recommend recent college graduates seeking jobs in DC to send their resumes to Whitman first.

Whitman is an amazing organization that is committed to helping its clients find temporary and permanent work. I have been with them since November of 2019 and have been more than satisfied with their service. They get your resume and immediately get to work on finding work that best matches your skill set. They are by far the best staffing agency that I have ever been with.

I recently was contacted by Whitman for a job position that I had applied to. I spoke with a very pleasant lady, Diana V., who set up an interview for me to visit them. Upon arrival, everyone was very pleasant & cordial and right to the point. I talked also with Julie L, and she was enthusiastic of getting me started to working for Whitman. That same day of my interview with them, my application was submitted out to a company in which they felt I was suited for, and within a couple of hours, I had the first interview with their client. Within the next couple of days, I interview again and was offered the position. Everything happened within one week - and that is awesome!... All to say, that Whitman worked with me and the client on every detail and they were persistent in getting me where I needed to be - and make no mistake, they will do the same for you. When you know that you have what people are looking for in this job market, you call Whitman Associates, they will work for you!

Whitman Associates is an incredibly friendly, efficient, and supportive business. Starting from the first phone call, I was met with a smiling staff that was interested in finding the right temp position for me. During my interview, the staff addressed all my concerns and clearly laid out my next steps. Within 24 hours, Whitman placed me in a flexible, temporary work opportunity. My temp assignment ran smoothly, especially since, Whitman has processes in place for pretty much everything (on-boarding to sick days)! Overall, I always felt I had a say on what assignments I went on and always felt supported during them. I 100% would recommend Whitman Associates. If you follow and trust in their process, keep open lines of communication, the staff at Whitman will find you something!

I was referred to Whitman Associates by a friend (who couldn't say enough good things about the agency) after graduating from college and moving to the DMV. I didn't know what next steps I needed to take, but I knew I needed a job. The recruitment/placement specialists at Whitman moved quickly to help me find the perfect matches for both temporary and eventually permanent work. They were responsive and attentive and I could not be happier with my placement! I recommend Whitman to any recent grads, anyone new to the area, or anyone else looking for a staffing/temp agency. Thank you Whitman!

After losing my job in June 2018, I panicked and began applying for any available positions in my field. One of those job ads led to my association with Whitman Associates, Inc. (Whitman) and, under their employment, I've been working steadily ever since. I highly recommend their services as they are extremely professional and motivated to get you employed. Being jobless in today's economy is very scary. Julie and the rest of the team at Whitman will place you with exciting opportunities, which will give you peace of mind - you're not in it alone.

I embarked on a career change and needed a lot of help getting started. I happened upon Whitman Associates and Michaela, who was so friendly and reassuring, helped me right away!
She took into consideration my specific career goals and how some of my past experiences were useful ultimately setting me up for job interviews that were in line with what I wanted to do, while also being within reach, given my skill set. I would recommend this association to anyone who is looking to jumpstart their career in D.C. They set me up with the perfect job opening within a matter of days, and after a couple of interviews, I was offered the position! 10/10 recommend!

Julie and her team are absolutely amazing. There s a reason why they have so many wonderful reviews! She found me an incredible job and I am beyond excited to get started. They are the best!!!!

I have used Whitman Associates exclusively since the mid-70's. Not only do they only send you excellent, well-qualified candidates, but they are not pushy (like some other recruiters). They thoroughly screen and vet their applicants and only refer the most qualified candidates with the most relevant work experience, thus saving an enormous amount of time for the prospective employer. I cannot recommend them highly enough.

Back in January, I went through the normal steps of working with a staffing agency: a quick phone interview, an in-person interview with several people on staff, and completion of some basic software testing from home.

I have received zero contact from Whitman Associates over the past 2 months.

Based on the multitude of other positive reviews, I still believe this staffing firm would be a great choice for those in the DMV area--everyone on staff was very kind and professional, but any sort of heads-up that I was not being considered for positions through the agency would have been appreciated.

EDIT:
"Though we were unable to make contact, we did reach out near the end of January with a potential work opportunity through both email and voicemail, though we understand that these can sometimes go unnoticed."
No missed calls, voicemails, or e-mails from Whitman on my end for January. It's fine--there must have been miscommunication on both ends. Like I said, I still believe this staffing firm would be a great choice.

Whitman Associates was extremely helpful when I was job hunting! They brought me in for an interview the week I sent them my resume. It was an extremely fast turnaround and they placed me in a temp position the day after I interviewed with them. Thank you Whitman!

The whole process of interviewing with them was a great experience! My interview was extremely personable and I felt that my needs were definitely met with care. The staff provided me with excellent attention as they called me about my resume, trying to edit it, and let me know what I needed to do next in the process. I was really happy to get a chance to interview with another organization very soon after contacting Whitman Associates. I'm excited to start my next opportunity and I cannot thank Julie and her staff enough!

Julie and Kim have made my working life in DC exponentially better. Here are a few of the reasons why I highly recommend Whitman:
1. Julie got me an interview within days of our initial interview. Our interview was within days of my application to Whitman. The entire process was smooth moving and easy. She also worked with me to help a friend who was moving to the area and connected her with work within a week of arriving in the city.
2. So many temp agencies feel like cheap used car lots, I never got that impression from Whitman. Julie and Kim make meaningful placements where they think you will actually succeed rather than just shoving you in a random law office as a secretary to be talked at. My placement has been great- I've learned valuable skills that are transferable throughout my career (google analytics and grant writing!) and my friend has been placed in an international development office working with senior USAID officials (straight up her alley- the perfect location for her).
3. I know 4 people who have obtained permanent positions from their Whitman Temp Jobs. You aren't just heating a seat, you're working for agencies where they want you to succeed so you can eventually join the team.

All in all, I couldn't thank Whitman enough for the professional support they have offered me as a young professional in this city. I highly recommend this team if you're looking to start/re-start your career in DC.

Excellent temp agency. Whitman Associates helped me to find temporary assignments to help pay my bills while I was searching for permanent employment. Once I found permanent employment they were extremely happy for me and allowed me to transition out of the assignment I was working at quickly and easily. I would definitely recommend Whitman Associates if you're in need of temporary employment.

Whitman Associate's team is fantastic - they were a huge help to me during my job search and were always highly responsive, transparent, and efficient throughout the process. They took the time to really understand what I was looking for and successfully found a role that was right for me in a tight job market. When they found a role for me, I was interviewed, hired, and started within 2 weeks and was converted permanently to the role within a month. Whitman Associates also sent me a card in the mail for my birthday and to congratulate me on being hired permanently with my new company which was above and beyond. I cannot recommend Whitman Associates highly enough!

Whitman Associates has been a great resources for our organization whenever we are in need of a temp and/or temp to perm. Julie and her team are phenomenal and they work hard to provide great applicants. Not many agencies can provide the level of service and attention that they can and that's why I continue to use them.
~Adria Cooper, Director of Operations

Whitman Associates has consistently found temp work for me over the last few years as I've completed my post graduate degree. They've worked well with my skills, location, and scheduling needs in finding me placements. They keep me posted in between assignments, which I appreciate. Julie and the rest of the staff have always been professional and courteous. I have had a really good experience with Whitman and I highly recommend this agency to anyone looking for help finding temporary or permanent positions.

Within a week of ending a previous internship, Whitman placed me in a great temp position and shortly after that I was placed in a full-time position with the help of Whitman. Prior to temping with Whitman, I had met with a number of staffing agencies and none came close to competing with their service. The employees at Whitman are genuinely interested in your success and placing you somewhere that fits, they take the time to fully understand your goals and interests, and refer you to jobs that seem to be a good fit. Additionally, Whitman works with great employers that are incredibly professional and respected in the DC area. Most importantly, Whitman maintains contact with you throughout the entire process, this can't be said for all staffing agencies. They contact you when a position opens, set up an interview for you, and provide feedback from interviewers after you meet with them. There were weeks where I would hear from Julie almost daily as she worked tirelessly to help find me the right job. I can't thank Whitman enough for all their hard work and placing me with such a great employer!

My experience with Whitman Associates was brief but stellar! I reached out to them after recently graduating with a B.A. I was looking for an entry-level job where I could "get my foot in the door" by gaining workplace experience and potentially advancing in the field. Julie and all the staff were very kind, helpful, and welcoming. I took some skills tests and talked to Julie, and she was able to get me an interview at a DC law firm the very same day! Julie worked with me to make sure my needs were met, helped me negotiate my salary, and followed up to ensure that the transition process into my new job went smoothly. Julie certainly knows her stuff and has a knack for finding the best fit for everyone involved, employees and employers alike. 10/10!

My experience at Whitman Associates has been exceptional! The staff is very friendly, attentive and responsive. Anytime I called the office, the call was always answered and I never had to leave a voicemail message. Even if the staff I was calling wasn't available, there was always someone to assist me. The best part is that I interviewed with Whitman on January 2nd and was working by January 7th. I highly recommend this agency.

Wonderful experience! It s atypical for me to leave reviews; however, my positive experience with Whitman warrants a genuine recommendation. Nearly a year after earning my undergraduate degree, I enrolled in graduate school. I decided that I wanted to return to work, but I needed to find the right fit. During my relocation to the DMV area, I applied to Whitman. I was working immediately in a positive and healthy work environment.

Diana and Julie are incredibly efficient, and get straight to the point. During my interview, Diana stressed that if I was uninterested in a job assignment, it wouldn t impact how hard they d work for me. It s true, they re very comfortable with honesty and I appreciate that. I strongly recommend Whitman to applicants that are employment ready and flexible. It means that you may need to shuffle prior arrangements around overnight, but they re not inflexible. They mean that they will find you work, and they also mean that they will keep you in consideration.

I've had the pleasure of working with Whitman & Associates for over a year with no regrets. It's no coincidence why this company continues to thrive after 45 years in the DC Metro area. The VP, Julie Lindgren and her staff are very competent and professional. With thorough interviews and a knack of placing candidates based on skill set, is the main reason I chose them to assist me with my career path. It's an easy 5 star rating based on past experience and several other people I've met who also use this agency.

My experience with Whitman Associates, Inc. was my first with a staffing agency and I am not sure anyone could provide a better experience. I originally found them online and decided it was worth a try since I was looking for a temp position. I followed the directions provided to email in my resume and follow-up with a phone call. I was immediately scheduled for an interview just a few days later (due to my own schedule being full). The appointment was really smooth and straightforward. I met with Denise who was an absolute pleasure to interview with. The entire meeting was very professional while feeling very conversational. She went over my background with me, asked about various computer skills and shared next steps and the process on their end. After consulting with her colleagues, I briefly met with Michaela who confirmed my availability and the next steps. That afternoon I took a series of brief computer-based competency tests (word, powerpoint, excel & spelling/grammar) and the very next morning I started getting calls from Whitman Associates with different offers.

Throughout my entire experience I felt respected and very well supported by the team. They are a group of extremely kind and personable professionals who care about their clients. I would definitely recommend them and use them again in the future.

Excellent Temp agency! I contacted four or five agencies when I moved to DC and Whitman contacted me right away and had a job for me within two weeks. Very professional staff and treats there employees and temp hires well. I still work part-time with the company that they found for me when I was temping.

Ditto on all the previous positive reviews! Whitman Associates is the bomb.com! :-) I was out of work for 6 months, and before that I had been with my last employer for 20+ years, so it had been a long time since I had to interview for a job. I signed up with three temp agencies before Whitman, none of which scheduled an in-person meeting with me. Instead they told me to download an app and search/apply for positions. Needless to say, I went on zero interviews this way. Whitman met with me personally and made me feel like they really had my best interest in mind. I met with Julie and Diana on a Friday, had an interview with a client on Monday for a temp to perm position and now 3 months later I am working for one of the best companies in the DMV. Great people, wonderful benefits and generous pay. Whitman knocked it out the park on my first placement! I also have to mention Rachel. Rachel is the person who makes sure you get your $$$. She reminds YOU that YOU need to submit YOUR timeseet so YOU can get paid. I don't know how she keeps track of all of us but I am so thankful that she does. If you need help finding employment, contact Whitman Associates immediately. They don't disappoint!

Whitman Associates is not your cookie-cutter, everyday staffing agency. They consider your skills and place you with an organization that fits your personal and professional goals. The staff is personable, professional and available to assist with any questions or needs. I'm extremely thankful to be a part of the Whitman Associates family!!!

I have known Julie Lindgren and Whitman Associates since 1987 [when I relocated to the Washington, DC metropolitan area]. I ve used Whitman Associates both in my personal career search, and as an employer looking to obtain temporary and permanent staff.

Julie and the team at Whitman Associates are wonderful! They truly strive to match candidates with jobs not simply place a body in a job. The caliber of candidate referrals from Whitman is phenomenal. I doubt anyone would be disappointed in the service provided by Whitman Associates.

My organization is often contacted by other agencies; however, based on my experience with Whitman, I have no reason to look elsewhere.

If you are looking for a top-notch search and placement agency with a proven track-record of success and exceptional candidates, I highly recommend Whitman Associates.

I've worked with Whitman Associates, Inc. and the experience exceeded expectations. Julie (my primary contact) is a consummate professional who, during the interview process, asked the right questions and listened with keen ears which allowed her to understand the skill set and value proposition I would bring to an organization. Assignments where relevant, high quality and I secured my now full time employment through Whitman. I have and will continue to recommend Whitman's services and Julie's assistance.

Excellent temp Agency. I contacted Whitman last year in June and in less than a month Julie had already found an assignment for me. Whitman has placed me in 4 different organizations and the maximum time I waited for the next assignment was 2 days. The current assignment has turned into a temp-perm position after having served 6 months in it. 8 months in Whitman and I finally find a job. Thank you Whitman for putting an end to my job drought. I am so grateful for your help. You are really wonderful people!

I sent my resume in on Wednesday--Called on Thursday--Interviewed with Kim on Monday--Interviewed for the job on Tuesday--and GOT the job on Wednesday!!! After about two months of job hunting, it only ended up taking a couple of days once I found the right agency for me! I was set up in a temp position w/ $15 pay initially and that position has transitioned into a full-time/full benefit position that I'm very excited about! Kim and Julie were very helpful whenever I had a question and responded by phone or email the same day. I would highly recommend Whitman Associates.

Whitman Associates' flexible work assignments have given me the financial freedom to carve out space for my own career-advancing projects. They are terrific to work with!

They are seriously awesome! I moved back to DC to find a permanent, full time position as I recently graduated from college. Within a few hours from my initial interview, they confirmed a great temporary position with an outstanding consulting firm. Each day, they contact you with more assignments! After a few short days, they set me up with a permanent position with a great salary and benefits. The other good reviews made me go see them, and they really do live up to their word. Finding a permanent job in Washington after a week is very very hard to come by, but they know how to do it!

My primary career is in the entertainment business but I rely on temping assignments to make ends meet when I am in between gigs.

I am happy to say that I have never been more than a week without work, once I contacted Whitman. Not only does this agency have plenty of short-term opportunities, but they also have a network of firms looking to hire full-time. The staff goes above and beyond to please-- Julie even offered tips/advice on sprucing up my resume for future jobs.

If asked to describe Whitman Associates with one word I would choose "advocate" because I always feel that the agency is looking out for my best interests. They find appropriate jobs that match my skills set, ensure their client is satisfied and then check to make sure I am happy with the match as well. Not every agency cares about the temp satisfaction level as much as the client's, but I have found one who does!

Whitman Associates does a phenomenal job of recommending job searchers to top tier companies. I have had a very positive experience with Julie especially. Julie goes above and beyond to pair job searchers with roles that best fit their qualifications and salary needs. She has been a breath of fresh air to work with!

I have worked with Whitman twice to find "my next dream job," and they did not disappoint. They are in it for a WIN-WIN. First, Julie took the time to get to know me, my work style, my career goals, and pet peeves, and ONLY referred opportunities that were a great fit. She did not waste my time. Secondly, we worked collaboratively to assure that my wage was negotiated taking the present job market and my experience into consideration. Finally, the turnaround time was great and they kept me apprised every step of the way. I have worked with several placement agencies and BY FAR Julie treated me with professionalism, respect and a passion that is rare in this line of work. This shop is a class act.

We are small but very busy government relations firm. Whitman helped us find our first temporary executive assistant. She worked out fantastically well, and we made her a full-time employee. I would highly recommend Whitman and use them again to help find the next member of our team.

I graduated from college in May 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic cut my senior year short and totally threw a wrench in my post-grad job applications. Luckily, I came across Whitman Associates while searching for opportunities online. I immediately submitted my resume and received an invitation to interview within a couple of days! I had my interview with Diana, who was so professional and easy to talk to. She told me that she would call back as soon as she found a position that I might be a good fit for, and within 3-4 days she called back to let me know that there was a temporary position available with a global health care non-profit. It was a very quick turn around from my resume being submitted to my officially being hired and starting, but Whitman was there for me every step of the way. Julie became my primary contact for the position and was an excellent liaison between myself and the non-profit. Toward the end of my first week, she called to check in with me and see how I was doing/if there was anything she could help me with.
I am so thankful to have come across this excellent staffing agency! I could not recommend them more highly!

A great agency whether you are the temp or the employer. Friendly, well-organized and fair

I do not believe 5 stars does this company justice. Extremely professional, quick with the job search, and most important they take in consideration what specific opportunities you are looking for. I have dealt with previous temp agencies in the past but this company exceeds them all.

Working with Whitman Associates is a great experience, not often found with a staffing agency. They will always look for the best interest for the employee and for the client. What makes them different? Human touch and follow up. It s hard to find a team with such professionalism, integrity and transparency. 100% recommended in the DC area. A true game changer for the ones that are looking for a serious opportunity and a great option for companies that are willing to hire qualified candidates either for their temporary or permanent staffing needs.

I've worked with a number of temp agencies and never had such a good experience. Julie was great at keeping me working while I looked for a permanent position. I can't recommend them highly enough. If you do a good job for them, they will go out of their way to keep you working.

Whitman Associates is the best placement agency. They work really hard to place you, very professional and the staff is awesome.

Whitman is great at finding quality jobs for quality prospects, thank you so much. Truly an incredible team

I have had the luxury of having secretarial and administrative support for more than 35 years, and have always insisted on the best, because after all, that person is an extension of what I do. From running multi-million dollar corporations, to a small nonprofit, the criteria is the same. So, when I needed a temporary assistant for the week of our nonprofit gala, I called Whitman Associates, Inc. in Washington and happened to speak with their VP of Marketing. I told her what I needed, and what that person would be doing. Now, while I would ordinarily want to interview that person in advance, Julie told me that she had the perfect person, so I relied on her. When Rachel arrived, she immediately dug in with smarts, efficiency, and initiative. She needed very little direction and no supervision. Julie was right. I recommend Whitman Associates highly and I will never use anyone else in Washington other than Whitman Associates. They are, quite simply, the best.

I have worked with Julie and the Whitman team for the past two years, but Whitman has been AILA's go to agency for finding highly qualified temps that are a great fit for the role and our organization. Highly recommend!

Whitman has been great all around! They ve helped me to consistently have temp work that fits my schedule and preferences when I m home from college over the summers and breaks. The staff is super helpful and considerate, and they actually match you with jobs that are a good fit for you. The process is super quick and easy. I would definitely recommend them!

I highly recommend Whitman for Employers and Employees alike. I received a job assignment from them and have since been hired full time. My association also uses Whitman anytime we need temporary help. They always send the best employees. Julie, my primary contact at Whitman, is very caring and a pleasure to work with. When I know of people who are looking for work, or want to hire someone, I always recommend Whitman.

I went to 4 different temp firms and Whitman Associates was the only company that took the time to sit down with me and discuss what was best for me in a future position. Within a month of signing up with Whitman, I had found a full-time position. Thank you to all the Whitman staff who helped me in my job search. I would recommend them highly to anyone looking for a job.

Julie is a wonderful person. She is the ultimate professional and supporter. Having Whitman on your side is a smart choice during your job search. The whole team is kind and goal-oriented and I was so incredibly fortunate to have their help. So many thanks.

Upon graduating from college, I was in a predicament many of my peers face: graduate school, medical school, or work? After deciding on the latter, I faced another obstacle when I had trouble finding a good job in my chosen field, biology. Thankfully, my luck soon changed, and I chanced upon Whitman Associates. Within a few days of interviewing, I was placed in a temp-to-permanent position with great growth prospects. And now, after only a few months on the job, I know that I absolutely love what I do and can't wait to develop further within the company and industry. Although I m not where I planned to be, I m where I want to be. If I could give one piece of advice to any recent graduate, it s to not be dead-set on a field of study, and to be open-minded towards potential career paths. If you do, you might find a great opportunity, just like I did.

Whitman Associates Inc. is a wonderful and very professional establishment. Julie Lindgren, the Vice President of Marketing & Sales, is very helpful and has great connections in the DMV area! After what seemed like a never ending job hunt, Julie assisted with placing me in a temporary long-term position within 2 weeks of interviewing. After about 6 months of temping in Arlington, VA the position led to a full-time, salary paid position (with amazing benefits I might add). I am a full time graduate-student and accommodation for my school schedule was a priority to me during my job search. Whitman Associates did a spectacular job helping me find a job that fit my busy schedule, I was not expecting such amazing service. I would recommend Whitman Associates to anyone in the DMV area that us looking for new opportunities, or simply looking for temporary work. You'll be surprised what a temporary position can potentially lead to.

I had many great opportunities while working with Whitman Associates. I was able to work at a variety of different companies and organizations while the staff of Whitman Associates informed me about various full-time positions available. If you are looking for temporary work or full-time opportunities, Whitman is a great place to start.

I have been working with the talented staff at Whitman for the past 10 years. It is a boutique staffing agency with a very high caliber of temporary employees. The Whitman temps are are so good, that many of them have gone on to become regular employees.

The Whitman staff is professional, quick to understand our needs and find us great candidates. They find the right people for the job and are extremely responsive. They are hardworking and really nice people! I love working with Whitman. They prevent many an HR headache!

I've been working with Whitman Associates since July of 2018, and they have been nothing but wonderful to me. As a recent college grad without a plan, working with Whitman allowed me to try my hand at various positions, and I have never been out of work since I started with them. I referred a friend of mine who had been searching for a job for some time, and Whitman found a great permanent position for him after just a couple of weeks.

Besides that, the staff at Whitman really care about their people. They are accommodating and understanding, easy to get in touch with, and they are always working to make things happen quickly. I can honestly say I have never met someone who works as hard as Julie. I am so grateful I found Whitman and for everything they've done for me. I cannot recommend Whitman enough!

I've worked with Whitman for a few consecutive summers now (in between college semesters) and they've been fantastic. Julie is a pleasure to work with and always works hard to match you to jobs. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a temp or permanent position!

Whitman helped me as I looked for a job immediately post-graduation. I spent about a month working in a very interesting organization, and then was able to find a permanent job on my own. I felt far better knowing I had a backup plan, and am very thankful to have found Whitman!

After three months of pounding the pavement with a freshly minted graduate degree in my hands, I turned to Whitman Associates hoping for something that would let me stop putting the hurt on my savings.

Sure, there were some time-killer gigs, but in less than a month, they found more than a job for me. Whitman Associates paired me with an growing company that recognized my potential, the value of my education, and my energy. They found a place where I won t just grow I ll thrive.

Shout outs to Julie and Alison, who always took my calls. One more to Riley, who inspired confidence in Whitman when I came in to the office on her second day.

The process was so professional and I was placed in a permanent position with benefits...: the SAME Day! The Whitman team is AWESOME! Thank you sooo much

Julie at Whitman Associates quickly found me a temp to hire position that was a perfect match for my interest and skill-set. Within a matter of weeks I was hired on full-time and settling into my new career. The entire team at Whitman Associates was encouraging, thoughtful and a positive support system throughout the job search process.

I needed employment BEFORE moving to the DMV area and Whitman was the only agency willing to meet with me, so that was the first positive quality about them that stood out to me. When I met with Julie and the rest of the team, I greatly appreciated how much effort they put into finding a position that was a perfect fit for me; as opposed to just placing me wherever to fill a company's request.

The first assignment they gave me wound up being my dream job. From the beginning, everyone at Whitman was so patient and helpful as I got started and always available if I had any questions or concerns. I always felt like I was in great hands with them. I eventually transitioned into the position they found for me permanently and it wouldn't have been possible without them!

Whitman Associates found us qualified people quickly! They made the whole process smooth and easy.

I was only able to move to the D.C. area this past summer thanks to Whitman Associates! Whitman was the only staffing agency willing to meet with me before I moved and had a local address - they were wonderful throughout the interview process and contacted me within a week of that initial interview to offer me a flexible temporary position within their own office. The staff were incredibly lovely and welcoming. Their generosity and friendliness made the stressful process of moving to a new city immeasurably easier. They understood my financial needs and even found me a remote, part-time position that I could perform in addition to my role in the Whitman office. I went on to work a few roles at the staffing agency until I got a position in my field. I received a lot of valuable advice about resume-building, decoding job descriptions, and interviewing from the staff at Whitman. They are incredibly knowledgable and are passionate about putting their candidates and clients in positions to succeed. I cannot recommend Whitman Associates enough!

Whitman has the friendliest staff! They are professional and efficient, and made finding a job a smooth process. I felt like they truly cared about me and my goals and experiences.

We have worked with Whitman & Associates for many years. Their team is wonderful and the professionals they work with are top notch. Thank you for all of the assistance you have provided us over the years.
