Comments:
This agency has proven to be the best for me so far. I have registered with several agencies in the past. I seem to be assigned a job on a weekly basis, averaging 1 of 2 days a week.
For your interest, two agencies to steer well clear of is VENTURI and CAMEO (also known as Insight Staffing).

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. I take no responsibility for what comes up when you google yourself.
