What People Say About Us
Anna
Candidate
August 2024City Personnel has been a wonderful company to work with! I submitted my resume for a job in my field, and David, the recruiter, called me to schedule an interview. He was open and honest from the start. Shortly after, I had an interview with the company and received a job offer the same day! David and the team have great connections and really fight to get you the interview if they think you're a good fit.
Since this is my first temp-to-perm role, I had many questions, and David has patiently answered all of them. The process has been stress-free, without worrying about negotiating salaries or sending out resumes. I’m excited to start my new position and thankful for their help!

October 2023I've looked for and started new jobs several times throughout my life, always a stressful experience. After taking a sabbatical this past year, I decided to try City Personnel to "do the work for me" so I wouldn't stress out, and I'm glad I gave them a chance! They picked jobs that I would've never thought to look into, got me a few interviews right away and a few job offers right after that! They've been very helpful throughout the first couple months at my new employer; from providing info to answering questions.

February 2024City Personnel takes the time to really understand our organizational culture and listens carefully to the specific staffing requirements. They treat the relationship as a partnership versus a transactional occurrence and their team members are polite, responsive and extremely professional.
City Personnel is the exclusive go to partner for our temporary staffing needs and the quality of resources is so strong that we have actually converted several of their candidates to full time salaried employees of our firm.

November 2023Great group of people. Caring staff that takes the time to learn who you are as a person in order to find the most appropriate position. Simply put, City Personnel is a wonderful organization that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a change! I was worried at first working with a temp agency, but they were amazing to work with!

October 2023The communication between City Personnel and me has been great since I started. I always feel I can reach out to someone, and City Personnel is timely with updates, reminders, and general information. When seeking representation from a temp agency, these are valuable qualities to have, whether for a temporary or temp-to-perm opportunity.
