"Over the past few years we have worked with numerous recruiting firms across the nation with great frustration and cost, both in time and money. Last year we were put in touch with Jeff Seifert and his team at Professional Placement. Their local expertise in our market has proven to be a significant asset in searching for qualified candidates. Jeff has placed many highly qualitied candidates who have already proven to be successful professionals early in their career with us! We highly recommend Jeff's company for anyone looking for talented and quality employees for a variety of positions within your organization!

"Before Professional Placement I'd never used a temp or staffing agency, so I was unsure of the things I'd have to deal with or how long it would take to find a placement for me. I sent in my resume, was contacted the next day, and then made an appointment to come in to fill out the paperwork and do all the testing. I met with Jeff Seifert (who is amazing!) and he found me a placing within a few days of my first meeting with him. Because Wayne, Jeff and the office have so many interesting companies that they supply staffing for, I ended up ultimately enjoying the role of being a 'professional temp' and assisting with the needs of the assigned companies. I will never be able to thank or recommend this company enough! The support and encouragement I received was so positive and motivating, it meant a lot to me! Professional Placement is wonderful and they will do all that they can to help you find a place of employment that fits you just as well as you fit it."

"In my capacity as an HR Generalist with a non-profit company, I used Professional Placement / Pro-Tem Service, Inc. to find highly qualified temps. They always did a great job at marketing candidates and were extremely honest and up front. I could always rely upon Professional Placement / Pro-Tem Service, Inc. Now, as one of their candidates, they market me with the same enthusiasm and vigor as when they were my vendor. They care about their candidates and it shows. I would highly recommend Professional Placement / Pro-Tem Service, Inc. to anyone."

Cynthia

"l had the opportunity to work with Jeff over the past year. I was recommended to him by another colleague and never looked back. Jeff was very proactive in learning about the business, and got to know the culture and skills we were seeking for each position. He was always able to provide us candidates very quickly and his follow up is second to none.

Jeff focuses on making a great match between the candidate and the company, not just filling a position. He is a man of integrity and is consistent in his support of recruiting efforts.

Jeff and the team are personable and professional. He definitely does an excellent job at what he does and I would highly recommend him."

Seriously called 3 temp agencies and left messages with all of them with not even a call back! I have searched for a new position for 7 months with two interviews total. I was also dealing with a lot of spam companies trying to offer me interviews! I called professional placement and within 2 days I had an interview and within 1 week - I accepted a job offer! Thank you so so much to Daphne and the whole team at Processional Placement!
