Kimco Office Pros Testimonials

"I had just finished school for accounting and moved into the area from out of town, looking for a job. I drove by Kimco one day and saw the sign, so I gave them a call and went in. That same day, the Branch Manager said, 'I think I have a job for you,' so she set up an interview two days later. I was placed as an Executive Assistant and I've been with this company two years now. The recruiting specialists were great - they were very nice and friendly. Anytime I go on vacation, we always ask Kimco for someone to take my place, and they've never given us anyone who couldn't handle the job. I had called one other place, but as soon as I found Kimco, I found a job - so I didn't need to look any further. I always recommend Kimco to anyone looking for a job." -Kim Washington, Executive Assistant

"After working in the mortgage industry for seven years, I was laid off from my previous employer in September. I took some time off and decided due to the precarious nature of that industry to look for employment elsewhere. I thought I'd try temping to see what other opportunities were out there.

"While working for Kimco, I was exposed to a wide variety of job opportunities. After three months of temping, I decided to seek permanent employment. I notified the personnel at Kimco and within two weeks a staff member called me about a two-week assignment at a local brokerage company. She said they were looking for someone permanent, but they preferred someone with brokerage experience. I had none, but was told they would still need me. After only two and a half days, I was offered the job. Since I had spent time working within the company, it gave me a great perspective of what work I'd be doing and who I'd be working with. I had the inside information! The Kimco recruiting specialists were absolutely wonderful. They encouraged me to come in at my leisure and update my skills, and they were very supportive when I decided to seek a permanent position. My job is great and I really enjoy it!" -Wendy Ralph, Assistant to the Manager

Kimco Technology Testimonials

"I was working at a hardware manufacturing company in operations and was looking for something else. I went online and tried some of the job search sites, and they sent me some interesting things, but nothing was right-on. I knew someone who worked for KimTec, so I sent in my resume and went for an interview.

"The Recruiting Specialists I worked with were very professional and thorough, and they had a really good understanding of what I was looking for. The Staffing Specialist was really on top of it - she only brought positions to me that she felt I would enjoy. I was looking for something either in operations or in IT, and KimTec placed me in a great IT job. It worked out really well - it only took them three weeks to find me something. They were having a hard time finding someone with the background I had, so they were able to place me in what I was looking for quickly." -Michael Vincent, IT Professional

"I was looking for a new job, so I called KimTec and faxed a resume over. I was placed almost immediately - within a week, a Staffing Specialist called and told me about this place, and it was right up my alley. Now I'm a Kaizen Technician for a brand-new department at a great company. I've been here since September. It was a contract-to-hire placement, and in December, they offered me a permanent position. I'm in a ground-level position right now, and my supervisors have already mentioned that once we expand again, I'll be up for a promotion. The recruiting specialists are such pleasant people. They were always willing to sit down and find out in detail what I was looking for and what I wanted. What most impressed me about KimTec was the willingness of the staff to really explain things - to go into detail, to get the details from me, to ask questions, and spend time with me. Every time I went to the office, it was always a very comfortable atmosphere. I never felt rushed, and they made it worth my time to be there." -Arthur Ruiz, Kaizen Technician

Kimco Industrial Testimonials

"A friend referred me to Kimco. I had never used a staffing service before, so this was the first time. When they placed me, I started in general labor. Within six to eight months, I was promoted to receiving, and I did that for almost a year. Then they offered me a job in billing, which I did for another year. Then the person who does production scheduling had me train for when she goes on vacation, and when she retired she offered me her position, which led to my present position in Human Resources. I've been here for seven years now, and I'm very happy! It only took Kimco one or two days to find me a job. All of the staff was very nice and friendly. I dealt with Sylvia, and she was great. I never had a problem with Kimco. Until I worked in HR, I didn't realize everything that could go wrong, and I've heard about some of the problems that can arise with other agencies... but I've never had a problem with the billing, payroll, or anything like that with Kimco. The follow-through is really great." -Javier Santos, Human Resources Administrator

"About four years ago, I moved to Temecula, and I was working in Buena Park. I submitted my resume to Kimco and they found a job for me as a Distribution Manager within only four days. I worked there for three and a half years, and I was very happy there. "Leslie (my staffing specialist) worked diligently to find the right job for me - she is really great. The best thing about working with Kimco is the personalities of the staff, and the personal touch that they provide. They care. They really do. "I now have my own business - Temecula Bait and Tackle, a custom fishing shop in Old Town. And I refer customers to Kimco all the time." -John Balderson, Owner, Temecula Bait and Tackle

MediQuest Testimonials

"I just wanted to thank... MediQuest Staffing for being so helpful in getting me a position so quickly. It really took off a lot of stress that one goes through while doing the interview process. You folks were terrific! I don't know why I didn't try working with MediQuest a lot earlier. Thanks again to all of you." -Michele Coons, Certified Medical Assistant for America's largest non-profit HMO

"I had taken leave from work for about a year or so, but when I tried to go back to my other job, I couldn't. So I posted my resume and a MediQuest Staffing Specialist saw my resume and called me right away. I met with him on a Tuesday, and by Wednesday I was working. I worked in a temporary position at first, and then was offered a job at one of the Bay Area's most prominent hospitals. Initially, I was filling in for someone who was on leave... but when that person decided not to come back, I was offered a full-time position. I love it here. This clinic is close to my home, and the hospital has a great reputation. In fact, I had placed my resume with this hospital on my own, and never got a response. But when MediQuest referred me to them, it was a big plus - and it encouraged them to hire me. They know that MediQuest only refers quality people; their reputation helped me get the position I have now. My experience with MediQuest was great. Whenever I had a question, they were always quick to respond. I've recommended MediQuest to my friends, and would do so again." -Amelia Pleasant, Medical Assistant
