Comments:
I haven't worked for these guys since 1991, but I remember them as very good at what they do. They get you frequent assignments that pay well. If you land in an assignment that doesn't fit, they cheerfully reassign you and apologize for the wasted time. Pay is prompt. They take a personal interest in you, and--in case you care--actually have a sense of humor.

Note that all reviews are individual contributions and do not represent the opinion of the site administrator. 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.
