Kristen and the team have been very helpful in providing excellent communication, updates, and also encouragement throughout the entire process of getting me a suitable job. They always check up to see how I'm doing during this process while making sure my employer receives all necessary documents and information on their end.  My friend got a permanent position at his current workplace, which he started as a temp through ICR and is very happy of the results.   Highly recommend!

I worked with Keith and his team in 2009 - and the style of working, level of engagement and how they treat their clients has stayed with me over several years. Bring treated fairly in the recruiting process is an important ask any day. Most recruiters show extreme interest in their initial discussions and once the screening is complete; resume/cover letter discussed and shared - do not respond to any email on the outcome. It is about mutual fit and not a one way street. It is important to close the loop with the candidate on how things would move or not move at all. It is alright!! Keith took the time to call me and mentioned why a certain company is not moving forward. It was not related to my technical or personality skills but some miscellaneous limitations for the company. This is one of rarest instances when a recruiter himself/herself picked up the phone and called me. I started following him when LinkedIn got popular. I notice similar style of engagement and execution in his work. We did not get a chance to intersect since I moved to the East Coast, but his gesture stayed with me forever. You can smell integrity easily by how someone operates. It is hard to explain and comes by experience. If you worked with this company, you will get what I meant!!   - Rahul M.

What can I say?  I've always had a HORRIBLE experience with staffing agencies.  Innovative has been completely different.  Kristie and Kerry have been there for me, always answer emails and phone calls and are ready to assist with whatever I need. They took the time to explain all the cool benefits ICR has to offer compared to other agencies. They actually care and want to set you up for success and make it clear what the jobs they set you up with look for and never bait and switch. Kerry in particular told me it was a family owned business and pride themselves for their transparency, customer service and mission as a company. Kristie has been a sweetheart and is so caring over the phone, best recruiter I've ever had.

The Staff at Innovative is amazing! They took the time to ask the right questions and brought us qualified candidates that all made the grade. They took all the hassle out of finding good people. There were so many good candidates it was hard to choose in the end.  I had three distinct jobs I needed to fill in a very short time, Innovative made it happen quickly and took out the guess work and I hired all three candidates from Innovative in very short order!

Very rude over the phone once I told Keith I would be using a different company. Told me that "I'm a piece of sh*t who doesn't care about the veterans who've served this country".   First of that's false, I was apart of BUDS Class 179 ,  and served 2 tours with the NSWU-2, unlike you Keith who was a measley mechanic.   You can tell by the tone of voice this guy isn't doing to well right now with business, thus trying to strong arm companies into paying ridiculous rates. You're a shame of a person Keith  Very rude over the phone once I told Keith I would be using a different company.

Innovative Career Resources & Staffing is a pleasure to work with.  They put forth amazing service and always have their client's interests first, even when their candidate is not selected. From the moment you call you can tell this is the case.  Keith and Kristen always put forth amazing candidates.  You can tell that they put due care in vetting candidates prior to them being presented to you.  This includes extensive background checks, technical quizzes, and also taking the time to understand good cultural fits.  While we didn't end up working with Innovative in our most recent selection (we've partnered up numerous times in the past), it was not for lack of quality as they had put forth some of the strongest candidates we met with.  Even though we were not searching for a high level executive, we were still treated as if this was the case.  Both Keith and Kristen took the time to speak with me over the phone to help advise in our search.  Keith even came down to meet with us face to face.  I cannot say enough good things about this company and I would highly recommend them to employers looking to fill vacancies.

I've been working with Innovative since 2008 when I was the HR Generalist at Pacific Life HQ in Newport Beach. Since leaving Pacific Life, I have continued my relationship with Keith, Kristen and the Innovative team and have introduced them when possible to my other companies as a staffing partner. They never disappoint! I have been working closely with Innovative again recently as they have helped us place a number of great temporary and temp-to-hire candidates. We are also working with them now on a direct hire role. The thing I appreciate most about Innovative is the time and attention they give us as their customer. They are invested in learning about our company culture and delivering high quality, thoroughly screened candidates to us quickly. They are super responsive to email and phone, whenever we need anything. The team at Innovative is amazing! I highly recommend them as a staffing partner!

Stop.   Seriously, stop.   You've found the staffing agency for you.   It began with a random phone call and ended with me having the best job I've ever had. Innovative Staffing, and Jenny in particular, took care of me from beginning to end.   Job searching can be so stressful. The process itself is taxing. You don't know when, or if you'll be hired, and you have things going on in your life as well.   Jenny made sure I felt as little stress as possible.  She was pleasant on the phone, she was pleasant on Zoom, and I could reach out to her via text at any time. I always felt that I knew what was going on because the communication was constant.  Not only did I enjoy the experience, the payoff was huge.  Thank you Innovative. Thank you Jenny.  If you want to end up leaving a glowing review like everyone else here, get involved with Innovative!

Thank you to the amazing team at Innovative Career Services! Jenny and Keith were friendly, professional, and showed me so much support during my job search. As a marketing professional, it's not as usual that roles in my field come across their desks than those in other industries, but when one did, they were determined to get me an interview with the company hiring. I was offered a position from the said company but ended up receiving another offer I couldn't refuse. Even still, Jenny and Keith supported me and wished me the best in my endeavors. Thank you so much, ICR!
