ABR Employment Services

I absolutely loved ABR as a staffing agency and believed they acted quick in finding employment for me.  My last position was set up as a temp to permanent position. I thought I was doing well, never saw it coming, and worse yet wasn't given a valid explanation for why I was let go.  I didn't find another position right away so I opted to go with another temp service.  they tried to get me to resign with them to jump ship in the middle of a contract to take a better position with them. I later found out that it was close to $4.00 below market value for this position, and was purged from the records for not having safety boots in time for the position I agreed to take later on and asked for thier patience until the end of March so I could start in April.  The woman who first placed me and had a good rapport/ weekly communication with each other left for a better job, so the newer employees didn't truly know my situation and made (what I believe to be) a terrible judgment call on me.  How do I go from just missing my first two days medically excused, then working 40-56 hours a week for 1 and a half months, to... ah, we're gonna let you go and you can re-apply with us in 6 months.

I was sent to a company by this agency where the temporary workers didn't last long. The Supervisor would find any small excuse to yell at a worker, the Line Leaders would get very angry and yell if one of their workers couldn't keep up with the line, and the co workers would always put the blame on someone just to save themselves. The Tech people, would yell at workers if there was a Jam Up they had to fix. I was surprised I lasted as long as I did due to all the verbal abuse I went through in that place. After 3 months of working there, there was a layoff due to the company "slowing down" and ABR told me that they would be willing to help me out in finding another job. Couple of weeks passed and they offered me another job that I didn't like at all. I told them I wasn't comfortable working there and they asked me if I could just finish that week, while they find something else. I finished that week doing exactly what they asked. Couple years later I reapplied at ABR and I was denied work because I supposedly "walked out" on that last job "without notice" when I know I did notify them and finished the week like they asked me to. ABR lied to my face. What a shame.

I job searched for 8 months on my own before trying ABR. After nearly 10 years I was unsatisfied with my employment situation, so I was looking for a change of pace. With in a week, I submitted my resume, had an interview, had a second interview and was offered a placement with a company matching my skillset. Although I thought I would be doing a similar job to what I left, I was surprised to be placed in another, but intriguingly new role. 

ABR was very up front with expectations and their kind staff really helped me feel more like I was a desirable worker than my previous place of employment. 

I have now completed my contractual hours with ABR and am moving to a permanent full-time position with in the company they placed me under. I have learned and continue to learn a new skillset and have more prospects before me now than I had four months ago. 

I feel truly blessed to have been paired with the right people who have helped me grow as a person both in and out of the work force.

The "office platform" is very professional. better than the average.
The quality of the Management Staff ethics are very good. I was not able to work with ABR when came to transitional job opportunites. I wanted a job in the doing office type work. But, because i did not have any experience in the area that was tuff for ABR to understand without any previuos experience in the field. That was my only let down.I could not figure out why i could not get an entry level office position. 
I think ABR base is focussed on currant work history, rather than what really interested me. as an average client. Read the PRO and CON

Working as a temporary employee I was able to demonstrate and distinguish myself as an outstanding employee and was hired full- time by the company I was a temp with.  ABR Employment Services kept in touch throughout my temporary service and the transition from temporary to permanent was seamless and transparent.  I was sent other job announcements during my time as a temp employee and it was a great stepping stone to get a fitting into a company and allowed them to preview my work ethics and capabilites before offering me full time employment. A win win for all. 

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to succeed!


I start work at 7am mon-thurs untill 5pm.
I start by print the neccesary lables and goal sheets for all 3 lines of production. I enter in neccesary data for production, and then begin testing. I test several different kinds of cartridges, and inspect for defects before they are to be packaged. I make sure they are clean, and presentable/ cut to the desired printer fit. I fix cartridges when they are broken to an extent, or i send them back onthe line depending on whats wrong with them. I continue this process daily, also while re-straighting and re-boxing the used paper for re-use on a different printer. I chip all cartridges accordinly.

I was found on a resume posting site by one of the girls at ABR. This agency treats you better than the others and not just like an lowly temp like some of the others. I have never been treated disresctfully or talked down to there. I was found a welding position almost instantly and my recruiter found me the perfect company. I think those girls have had 3-4 managers over the 6months annd when talking on the phone you can hear their current manager yelling at employees in the background. These girls still manage to do stay professional towarsd us no matter what.

Keep up the good work ABR!

Girls of ABR Calander on the Way???????????????????

I worked as a staffing professional for three years with ABR. I really enjoyed the opportunity this position provided me with meeting and growing relationships with different businesses in the area. I met a lot of great people along the way and it was never a dull day in the office. Lots of management turnover. Great position for someone who can go with the flow and not afraid of a challenge. I would return to the role. Only reason I moved on is because the burnout in staffing is real and trying to fill $10, $12 per hour jobs with a record low unemployment and talent crunch is exhausting. 

A typical day at work would be 8am-5pm in an office. Learned a lot from working at ABR such as recruiting, sales, and building relationships with clients and employees. Company's workplace culture is good. The hardest part of the job is probably because the unemployment rate is pretty low right now; therefore qualified talents aren't really available for work. What I enjoy the most about my job is that it's challenging and it is a job where I can start building experience in my Human Resource career.

I came to ABR looking for help in my job search after returning from a second tour overseas. I wasn't having much luck until one of the girls took the time to help me with my resume and set me up with the JSA Vet program. Ultimately she did not find me my dream position but because of her help I am now a production manager with an amazing company. I will forever follow this recruiter as I am very impressed with the amount of integrity and passion she demonstrates for her field.

Thanks ABR Appleton!
