PlaceSmart Agency

What is the best part of working at the company?
The best part of the job was some of the coworkers who worked hard and tried to support each other in a challenging environment. Many employees genuinely wanted to succeed and help their clients, but the overall culture made it difficult for people to stay long-term.

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
The most stressful part of the job was the lack of stability due to extremely high turnover and inconsistent leadership. Expectations often extended beyond normal work hours, and employees frequently felt pressure to meet shifting expectations without clear guidance or support.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
The work environment was extremely high-pressure and often unstable due to constant turnover and inconsistent leadership. Employees were frequently expected to work outside normal hours, and the culture often relied on intimidation and favoritism rather than support and professional development. This created a stressful atmosphere where long-term employee retention was difficult.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
A typical day involved recruiting candidates, managing client accounts, coordinating placements, and handling a high volume of communication with both clients and applicants. The environment was fast-paced, but due to constant turnover and limited support, employees were often required to take on multiple roles and work beyond normal hours to keep operations running.

I had an exceptional experience with PlaceSmart Staffing, a premier staffing agency dedicated to job placement. What sets PlaceSmart Staffing apart from other agencies is their unique, hands-on approach and genuine commitment to helping people.

From the moment I engaged with PlaceSmart Staffing, I was impressed by their professionalism and personal touch. They truly understand the importance of matching the right candidates with the right job opportunities. Their team is incredibly attentive and took the time to get to know me, my skills, and my career aspirations. 

Unlike many other staffing agencies that treat candidates as just another number, PlaceSmart Staffing's "people helping people" philosophy shines through in every interaction. They provided me with valuable insights, tailored advice, and continuous support throughout the job placement process. Their dedication to finding the perfect fit for both the employer and the employee is truly commendable.

Thanks to PlaceSmart Staffing, I found a position that aligns perfectly with my career goals. I highly recommend PlaceSmart Staffing to anyone seeking a personalized, supportive, and effective job placement service. Their hands-on approach and commitment to helping people make them a standout choice in the staffing industry.

A day at work here was with many that 0 experience with recruiting, meeting with clients to discuss business. 
Learning here was a challenge as no one came with any staffing knowledge.... those that did know it and had come from that industry was talked down to and ignored.
When you have a team like this owner has you have to just feel sorry for him. Some of the team were really good and understand what was needed but again the homework got you fired no matter the knowledge you had.
Culture is horrific.... people as Regional Directors that have 0 understanding of people.
The hardest part is trying to please the senior team as they are are looking for ways to get rid of you

Enjoyable part? Being out of there!!!!
Now being with a gobal team and supporting it and its client base!! 

Prayers go out to this group!!

PlaceSmart is working towards going from good to great. While doing their best to continue to create a very positive and welcoming work environment. The care of the owner and his team is undeniable and very impressive. I have worked for a few owner but none that cares as much as this one. Pet friendly, kid friendly and people friendly. Expect to get a warm welcome when coming through the door. I truly endorse this company to anyone who wants to work, learn and be apart of something bigger than themselves. Thanks Placesmart!

A typical day of work consists of answering phone calls, emails, attend morning meetings and distributing notes from that meeting, scheduling appointments and light office cleaning. I learned a lot about data entry software, refreshing my database skills and how the employment agency process works. The lower management was great to work with. My coworkers were very helpful and insightful. The hardest part of the job was the total file maintenance. The most enjoyable part of the job was that I got to use the skills I acquired from my college education.

Most of management is incompetent when it comes to knowledge of the industry. The few people who do know the industry are treated poorly and their advice disregarded. Almost every employee is constantly scared of losing their job. The mark-up rates they offer are beyond high and yet they expect massive amounts of sales when they refuse to give sales people the power to be competitive with pricing. Sales people are graded on other people's job results when they have no control over those KPIs. Overall steer clear of this place. 

The Placesmart motto is people, helping people, helping people. Every single day we embrace that motto. We not only help people get jobs we help each other, too. Someone is always there to lend a helping hand for our internal staff but to associates as well. It doesn’t matter what branch you work in or apply to, we work to make sure your questions are answered and directed to the right person. We will never leaving you hanging!

Management is terrible.  Stay far away from this company.   Very incompetent and unorganized.  It’ amateur hour to say the least.  They have the highest markups around and wonder why it’s so hard to get new clients.  When you qualify for bonuses they are never paid out so I would be aware of that as well

The Workplace environment is good. We work hard to build relationships with all of our co-workers. It takes all of us to make our offices work and flow properly.  

The hardest part is with staffing agencies across the board. There are issues with people not showing up or walking off. As recruiters, we dig deeper into our recruiting process.  

Placesmart has been the best job I have ever had. Not only do they pay really well in comparison to other staffing agencies but management treats everyone like family. I can come to them with any problem I am having and they will have my back. No other place like Placesmart!!
