Comments:
This agency is great! I am currently on first assignment with this agency, it has been 3 months. I have dealt with other agencies and this is by far the best. At first, I was not convinced because my resume was sent out a number of times without getting chosen by various clients. However, I was contacted fairly frequently (like once or twice a monthly, sometimes more often about positions). Once or twice, I rejected positions because I was working through another agency, they did not have a problem with this. Even though all agencies are for the client's interest, Update Legal genuinely cares about their employees. I was surprised, but every four or so weeks, I receive a call from someone (usually a different person) to see how I am doing at my assignment. My current assignment is with one of their biggest clients so they actually come and pick up the time sheets and drop off the checks.
