Essential Personnel

Essential personnel is a good place to work for. They are a temp to perm agency that will quickly find you a job but sometimes I feel like they don't listen to you. At the same time it may be difficult to place people into the right job until you know their skill set. Just not super happy with where I was placed but I continue to work the best I can. They have alot of people flake out on them which transfers to others unfortunately. But for the most part they are decent company and care about how your doing. I would recommend them for a short term basis.

Working at Essential Personnel has really caused me to set my standards high when it comes to a work place. I have not had a job that I actually loved working at until I came here. A typical day at work includes talking to companies to see what their staffing needs are, visiting companies that we already work with, using consulting skills  to connect applicants with the job that they actually enjoy, and having daily challenges to meet company goals and win prizes!

The people who work at Essential Personnel are strong and driven individuals who believe in helping their clients find quality employees and matching quality people to quality careers. We work hard so we can play hard too. We want to make a difference in our community and develop strong relationships. Whether you are looking for an employee or you're looking for a job you should definitely head for Essential Personnel.

Challenges and goals are presented to staff but given unachievable circumstances in which to achieve them.  The percentage of commission paid is based on meeting daily and weekly goals. When clients are located out of town, periodic visits are required but now compensation is paid for travel and additional time away from the office.  Meanwhile, goals are not adjusted for time away from the office so commission pay is decreased for not meeting goals.

The girls in the Norfolk location are easy going and face paced when it comes to finding work. The branch manager is all around very knowledgeable. The account manager is quick to find work. The development assistant is happy to help answer questions regarding the application process. This is a crew you definitely want to work with!

Fast growing staffing company with opportunities, but lack of an established culture affected my decision to stay with this company. Loved what I did and my clients I worked with, but the lack of teamwork, and friendly work environment was a huge frustration.

Overall, the work atmosphere is amazing. I always feel included and as though my opinion truly matters and is being heard/taken into consideration. I have never had a better work relationship with coworkers at previous jobs, like I do here. Every day I am eager to get to work and work towards accomplishing my goals.

I typical day would start at 5am, and end at midnight sometimes, it was a very high paced position. I would manage over 300 employees, from daily supervision to reviews to payroll and benefits. I also worked with several production companies to oversee and manager their employees, staff, interview and see over the entire employee relations division

It's been over 3 months since I first walked in the door to find employment and they haven't helped me with nothing.  I'm kinda giving up on them   I only put starting wage at $18 an hour but with all my experience I'm worth way more.  But they have never helped me 

Only received janitorial jobs  parttime only. I worked hard for a janitorial service at Herbergers my efforts werent appreciated but Store Manager recognized my hard work. Another job was at  hockey rink  and the manager had females doing toilets only, and males other chores. Very sexist. Never want to clean a toilet again!
