Comments:
After registering, I got e-mail notices about full-time jobs (which I was interested in, since I'm looking for something permanent while I temp).
But when I called the rep back about a job I was particularly interested in (and qualified for), she tried to steer me away from it, saying that I didn't have enough experience--although the job description fit my background perfectly. She apparently didn't know what she was talking about, since she then recommended another job that I really don't have experience in! They probably won't be of much use to me; I think I'll keep looking.

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.
