Comments:
I started working for Headway in February 1997. They got me a great three year assignment at the Department of Health. They then assigned me to NYU Medical Center in August 2000. I've had nothing but positive experiences with Headway, although, I noticed that many temps had problems picking up their checks. The checks either were not cut because of fax machine problems or the payroll staff would insist the temp speak to their counselor first before a check would be cut for them (which took a lot of time). I've never experienced this problem. I would recommend Headway, although your experience(s) may be different.

They have not been independently verified, so there is nothing to stop someone from posting a pack of lies. Some agencies with great reviews may be really bad, and some agencies with bad reviews may be really great. As with everything online, be careful and don't believe everything you read.
