Austin Staffing, Inc.

I have a history with this staffing agency. They placed me in the work from home program under one of their employers. They told me again and again that they would relay that my son is physically and mentally disabled to my employer. They called me and told me 3 times that they said they understood, that’s why I even took the job to begin with. Quite a few months go down the line, and I thought that I should call in and get an LOA for my son. Nock Edwards immediately denied me and basically berated me, saying how it’s almost impossible for my son to have doctor’s visits the same day or the next day and not have it next week. I was honestly shocked. It’s as plain as day that she doesn’t understand what goes on in a disabled person’s life. She then went on to say as long as I showed doctor’s notes, I would be fine. I guess not, considering they (my employer) terminated me. I felt like I was being personally attacked and my son was too. It’s quite clear that they don’t care about people with special needs or taking care of a special needs dependent. My spouse was sitting right next to me when this occurred, so I have a witness. I find it convenient that they suddenly don’t record phone conversations when something this serious happens.

People need to know that this is a temp agency, not a career. They will get you a job that's currently available. In my case, I elected to do a customer service job for the time being. Onboarding, interview, and a typing test later, I started working for the client during Labor Day week when everyone was off. Apparently, the people that worked there haven't noticed that I started on a holiday, so I hit my 40 the first week and got paid for it.

Training was simple, and eventually you get the PK during the last hour of the shift. Lunch was 1 hour, which was nice. Then COVID hit and we all were working from home. A few months into the lockdown, I decided that it's best to quit and move on due to personal stress. Benefits were subpar, but I didn't expect much from a temp agency. Returned the badge about a year later due to the lockdown when it was safe to do so.

In all, I did learn some skills even after I left and working with the game tickets and keeping my game account to play was a plus. Just moving into the graveyard shift was the hard part of working there, and it shows.

According to Internet information the INDEED JOB SEARCH vehicle & this one (Austin Recruiting) are all owned by a Japanese Recruiting firm & not by anyone in the USA. This ownership so many thousands of miles away would account for the lack of relevant jobs, poor job searching performance & other issues that I have endured for many years on this INDEED's useless & abominable work search site. However, this Job search platform in no way comes close to the lunacy that I endure while using a different job search site, that I will not name here. The 2nd job search site I have been struggling with uses an online AI Recruiter named "PHIL". Well, either PHIL cannot read?? or the other excuse for his work performance, being soooooo POOR is that the Job Searching site PHIL is indebted to a corporation does NOT pay Phil. He is an AI slave to his creators. As far as I can determine, after searching online for jobs many, many years long & getting NOTHING ususable that this ALL of this online job searching is a 100 % farce. The job search software owners rake in millions of $$$$$$ just to have prospective job searchers log into their sites. So, like many USA based celebrities these job searching platforms are famous for being famous & hold no mystique over the common job searcher. It's just another way to make tons of $$$$$$$$$$$$ while deluding the public. And the public is happy to be deluded by these crazy, useless onlie job search platforms! IAm NOT impressed.

I happened to come across Austin Staffing online in February and was connected with Mr Todd Reeves who found the perfect position for me within the matter of a day.
I am so happy to say I have now been hired on full time with the company! I will miss everyone at Austin Staffing, they are wonderful and I can’t thank them enough! I absolutely recommend reaching out to them if you are in need of a job!

My experience working with Austin Staffing was amazing! Juan Bethencourt (recruiter) was so attentive and detailed in his search for the right fit for me, the process was very easy and there was great communication and direction, he was incredibly helpful when it came to the interview process of the company I’m now part of!

Thank you so much Austin Staffing!
