Beacon Hill Staffing Group

I have applied to so many of their «vacancies» and I’m starting to believe these vacancies don’t exist. I’m not sure whether they receive a small commission on applications they receive each month but what’s the point of contacting someone if there is no job available for them?

I had a wonderful experience with Beacon Hill Staffing. I needed a temporary job for 2 – 3 months while I was waiting to find out my bar exam results. I had an open mind going into the interview with Michael and was willing to work. I also stayed in constant communication with Michael as to what the status was on any job leads. However, I understood going into this process that I was not the only person needing a temp job. Michael and Beacon Hill are trying to place hundreds of people in positions so I did not mind being persistent or emailing/​calling about once a day so I was not lost in the shuffle.
I could not have asked for a better experience with Beacon Hill. I have had 3 different jobs through Beacon Hill within a 2.5 month time frame. As soon as 1 job ended, Michael was working to find me something else and he did! I am extremely thankful and grateful for Beacon Hill because their employees really care about you and understand that you are trying to pay the bills or student loans, etc.
I 100% recommend Beacon Hill Staffing if you are looking for something temporary or even permanent in the D.C. metro area.

Please read the other reviews. 100% same situation for myself. FALSE Advertisement. They can’t tell you who the client is because the client doesn’t exist. Run as fast as you can– and one recruiter to avoid is named Carly.
Thanks.

I am sorry but would not recommend this agency to anyone.
They like other reviewers mentioned, post seemingly decent jobs within the area that are almost too good to be true. IN fact, they just might be falsified postings. I have been in contact with a recruiter (since January 2014) who has done nothing of the sort to help me in my job search. Every time I contact her, (notice that I have to contact HER, or there will be no communication) there is always a excuse. «I am sorry I have been out of the office», or «I have not found any positions that have meet your skill levels» OR the best is no response at all. I find this almost comical because I have a BA and am currently perusing my MBA along with 4 years of professional experience…
And for the sake of proving that this organization is a complete waste of time, I plan on keeping in contact with this recruiter just to point out the pattern of unjust practices; hopefully I can ward of unsuspecting individuals looking to find placement.

I had a pretty negative experience just recently here. I left the interview feeling dejected and roughed up. The recruiter actually made me feel worse then I had before the interview. Their presence on craigslist is larger then any other staffing agency, and they continue to post these outrageous looking jobs that honestly seem falsified to me. Not to mention the atmosphere once you are actually in their building is hostel and just seems likes allot of indirect communication that goes no where. Honestly I would suggest not even bothering with them. As a job seeker its actually a hindrance to even meet with them. I felt like the staff was condescending and accusatory.

Their DC office is a total joke. They post searches for make-​believe permanent jobs on C-​List with non-​existent «clients» at the manager/​director level in order to lure in hapless candidates/​resumes for their temp operation, a classic «bait and switch» agency gambit. Be very careful; if you apply for a permanent position via this agency DEMAND to be told who the hiring client is before you agree to come in for an interview; if they can’t or won’t tell you, don’t waste an afternoon going in for your «screening interview». Other red flags: when invited in to be «screened» for a permanent director level position, I was asked to complete a cheesy on-​line Microsoft Office skills assessment, and told that I would need to show TWO forms of photo ID and complete an application. Really? Seriously? Seems they have waaaay underestimated the sophistication of the DC workforce. I’m going to file a complaint with C-​List next time I see one of Beacon’s posts for a «permanent» position for yet another mystery client. Don’t waste your time; there are lots of reputable agencies and search consultants in the DC area with real clients and real jobs to fill.
