The Custom Group of Companies

I’m a contented temp agency legal proofreader. When I first started working as such (after passing the agency proofreading test), I volunteered to be on call 24/7. The agency would usually call me for an evening or graveyard shift at various Manhattan law firms. At first, about half of the calls were ASAP calls (Can you be at the firm in 90 minutes?). As I got more experience, I started working at fewer firms (i.e., ones that asked for me by name) and on a scheduled basis (no more ASAP calls). The law firms are great. I’ve never met but the nicest people, both the law firm employees and the fellow temps (operators and other proofers). The work itself? It’s almost like going to a library to read a book—and getting paid for it. It’s basically proofreading and/or editing legal documents that often contain defined terms, cross-references, tables of content/authorities/figures, and lots of there’s (thereof, thereto, therefrom, therefor). Although I have had minimal interaction with staff at my temp agency, the few that I’ve dealt with have been A-1. The one I’ve dealt with most, my supervisor, has gone above and beyond to initially find me work, to keep it coming, and to brag about me to get me in the door to various law firms (where, for many, you have to pass their own proofreading test before they’ll consider using you).

I worked for Custom Staffing throughout graduate school both as a temporary worker on assignment and in their midtown office.  The staffing counselors at Custom were extremely helpful and always willing to work with my schedule. My time spent working in the midtown office was extremely positive.  I found the staff and owners to be very friendly, hardworking and dedicated to the work. Additionally, the temporary assignments I was placed on through Custom were always in very professional settings where I was able to gain work experience and job skills to build my resume.   I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for work.

What is the best part of working at the company?
Excellent compensation , guaranteed hours

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
No time freedom, contract only

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
It's a staffing agency so you were sent where you were needed. Agency nurses are not treated as well as staff, historically.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Life is what you make it, and you create your environment and energy.

I have been with the Custom Staffing Group on and off for over 12 years. They always find me great assignments at very nice companies and the rates are competitive (depending on experience). Be professional, do good work and show up to assignments on time and they will really look out for you, whether you're looking for short-term or long-term work. Highly recommend!

Custom Staffing. Work all week Mon. Through Fri. 5 a.m To 3 p.m ! Sends You to different work site locations every other week but still have you in your current position

Sent to various clients.  Enjoyed most temporary assignments.  Workplace culture varied from place to place.  Hardest part of the job was knowing that most of the assignment positions were not going to be permanent.

It's a great company, highly recommend it ! they helped me with my first job, were very supportive and professional , you can definitely rely on The Custom group of Companies

I had no problem with Customs. They kept me busy with temporary assignments until they found me a permanent position. I was always paid on time and the staff was pleasant,

There’s a chance to work from home, communication is there.

Management does what they can with approval, the work is consistent and you can run like a well oiled machine 

Great job opportunities. Management is disrespectful, rude , stereotypes . Can really mess you up from there lack of education and understanding. Need to explain things throughly
