Leafstone probably saved me from wasting several years of my life stuck in a job I didn’t want to be in. I was almost 100 percent sure I wanted to be in the finance industry. After working at a few investment firms through Leafstone, I realized what a horrible decision that would have been for me.I highly recommend being a Leafstone associate – it lets you see first-hand what a company is like without a long-term commitment.

Temporary work was the perfect fit.
Upon graduating in 2001, I pursued a career in the arts. I immediately begin to contemplate a suitable day job for my lifestyle. Soon thereafter, I registered with several temporary agencies and found that temporary work was the perfect fit. Temporary work provides the flexibility for pursuing my dreams; it enables me to continue to nurture the intellectual aspects of myself. I’m the office coordinator for the Chicago CORESTAFF office and I truly love my job. I am constantly expanding my knowledge base and enhancing my skills.

CORESTAFF provided a bridge to employment.
I was a college student and needed a summer job. My older brother recommended CORESTAFF. He had worked for CORESTAFF and got his current job through them. I remembered that my brother had seemed to always be working, and now I understand where he got all the work! He described CORESTAFF as his \“stepping stone.\” I registered with CORESTAFF and within a day of getting a call back from them, I was on an assignment. CORESTAFF gave my brother and me a bridge to employment.

It was a perfect match from the start!
I first became associated with CORESTAFF when I chose not to relocate with my employer of 18 years. Because I had a successful career with a major company for that length of time, I was unsure how to get back in the employment arena. A friend told me about CORESTAFF and I contacted them. It was a perfect match from the start! CORESTAFF takes the time to learn about their candidates, their interests and career goals, and matches them with appropriate temporary assignments. Every time I left an assignment, I felt that if the company had an opening they would have hired me because the match was perfect.

I am proud of what I do.
I am a Looseleaf Update Filer with InfoCurrent and I am proud of what I do. The InfoCurrent branch trusts me to get things done on my own, but they’re never too far when I need help or guidance. The flexibility gives me the option of going back to school, and it gives me the chance to be available for my son when he needs me. Some people feel temporary work lacks security – I am a parent, and working as a temporary makes me available if my child has an emergency. That’s valuable to me.

Being a temporary employee makes me feel like I am in control of my life.
I wanted to get into publishing, and I had two internships that gave me experience, but no money. I decided pursuing a publishing career through CORESTAFF would be a great way to get my foot in the door at a prestigious company and build my resume. I love my assignment – I love the flexible hours – I have more time to be with my family, to pursue my own writing, to run and swim. Being a temporary employee makes me feel like I am in control of my time and my life.

I feel like I'm the client.
After speaking on the phone with my CORESTAFF representative, I knew I wanted to work with and for CORESTAFF. She made me feel comfortable – it didn’t feel like she was looking for a warm body to fill a spot for a few weeks, it was more like she was looking for someone that actually fit the position. I am treated like I matter, and that what’s going on with me is important. My calls are answered; my e-mails are acknowledged. CORESTAFF is a good place to be – I feel like I’m the client.

CORESTAFF ensures you get the skills and training necessary to succeed.
I worked with CORESTAFF in 1999, and decided after helping my husband start his company to return to CORESTAFF to re-enter the job market. I knew I wanted to be in charge of the decision of who I worked for, my hours, my pay and doing something I enjoyed. CORESTAFF makes you feel like you’re the most important person in the world. The best thing about working for CORESTAFF is that they truly value you as a person, not just an employee. They want me to succeed so much that they provided me with COREskills online training courses for free. Not only will CORESTAFF find the job you want, but they will ensure you get the skills and training you need to succeed.

CORESTAFF found a job that would help
my career.
As a full-time student at George Mason University, I was having trouble finding a job that would fit my schedule. CORESTAFF assigned me to a job that fit perfectly. But what’s more, they found a job that would also help with my career. They not only are interested in finding you a job, they make sure the job will be beneficial for your career.

CORESTAFF was the only staffing company that could keep me busy working.
I found CORESTAFF when I was on with several different staffing companies and CORESTAFF was the only one that could keep me busy working. I’ve worked for CORESTAFF for four years, and it’s a good way to see what the market has to offer – it affords a good “look-see” into each other for companies and job seekers alike. Working as a temporary is good training – it keeps your mind sharp and your skills at their best. I’m able to learn new business processes and computer programs quickly because of the experience of working on different assignments.

They made me feel important and wanted.
I was treated so politely at CORESTAFF; they are positive and professional, and they made me feel important and wanted. I feel like I have more advantages to move ahead in my career; I’m not stuck doing the same thing for one employer. There are many jobs to choose from at CORESTAFF. As I grow in my knowledge and am ready to take on a more challenging role, I know I can find the perfect fit here. I love what I do and I love the flexibility of my job.

They took the time to find out more about me.
I left a job I was miserable in and found CORESTAFF through a job search. The staff had smiling faces and warm handshakes. They took the time to find out more about me and my life. They saw my potential at a certain client before I had even thought about it. They got me an interview the very next day. Coming to CORESTAFF was the smartest thing I ever did! Several friends and family members ask me why I’m so happy – I tell them it’s because of CORESTAFF. I love it here.

The weekly pay periods are great.
I was laid off from my company due to downsizing, but was able to continue working at the company through CORESTAFF. The service I’ve received is so much faster than as a permanent employee, and the HR representatives at past companies were no where near as approachable and pleasant as CORESTAFF’s. I’ve never had an issue with my paycheck, and the weekly pay periods are great. And the wages I earn as a temporary probably would not be matched by the company. In today’s market, there’s no stability in any field, so working for CORESTAFF is a great choice.

Working temporary has honestly been the best work experience of my life.
I chose to join CORESTAFF because I needed a career that paid me well, yet offered me the flexibility I required to start my career in TV sitcom writing. Since being with CORESTAFF, I’ve struck the balance I sought between working to pay the bills and working on my writing. I enjoy work as a CORESTAFF associate because I can experience multiple positions in various industries without getting bogged down in the same work every day. I never feel like I’m bored or trapped in dull work. Working temporary has honestly been the best work experience of my life.

CORESTAFF delivers!
I sought out CORESTAFF because I was having no success getting hired. I was already signed on with a few other agencies but with the first call from CORESTAFF I was being offered two job opportunities! CORESTAFF understood my urgency to find work. Working as a temporary lets me “test drive the car” – and since clients also “test drive,” it’s a win-win. The opportunities for learning and gaining experience in different environments are available. For someone who needs change, yet requires the stability of a regular income, being a temporary at CORESTAFF is definitely the right way to go. CORESTAFF delivers!

I'm doing great work and getting great exprience.
Navigating the executive job market in a down-spiraling, high-tech economy was financially and emotionally stressful. I realized that I needed to look at temporary technical employment to prove to potential employers that I had the strong technical skills required for today’s IT managers. My employer gets the chance to see if I can do the work, and I get to gain confidence by proving to myself and the employer that I can do the work. On my first position at CORESTAFF, my rep had less than a week to get my paperwork together, which she did efficiently. On my first day at work, my office had been completely set up – computer, accounts, phone, and direct deposit. I knew I could trust CORESTAFF to get it all right. I’m now doing great work, getting great experience and accumulating great references for my resume.

I can pursue my music career with no issues.
On assignments with other staffing companies, I was seen as almost less than human to rely on temporary work, but at CORESTAFF, being a temporary here feels no different from being a full time employee. And it’s flexible – I have been able to go to school full time, work with no strings attached and pursue my music career with no issues. I also get access to COREskills to further my knowledge. No other staffing firm can boast such reliability and flexibility in one package.
