Novus Staffing has to be one of the worst temp agencies out there. I have read many complaints about other temp agencies such as and J Croyle Associates but I guess people have yet to learn anything about Novus. Novus will lie through their teeth about the availability of the positions. Most agencies update their sites accordingly, letting employment seekers view the current listed positions in their chosen area. I believe Novus is the only one that will still have hundreds of positions listed on their website but once you inquire about a specific position then all of a sudden it's not available. Yeah right! Especially after it states that it was posted only a day or two before looking to apply. This agency is full of bull. I am a with nothing to show for it. I have been looking for work for quite some time now and I grew desperate enough to use Novus.
My advice is save yourself the stress and peace of mind. I never in my life heard of anyone's assignment ending during training. I trained with a company for only a and then I was told that the supervisor felt that I was not a good fit. Nothing seemed to be on the same page, especially when my so-called trainer told me I was making so much progress. I also can not leave out that I did not even receive full training. The guy who was supposed to be training me would stop after every new thing he was teaching me to go smoke cigarettes, or get caught up in his work. Most of the time he had doing simple things basically just to keep me out of his for a while. It was completely unfair to write me off before even completing a certain amount of training. I've seen dogs receive better treatment then how Novus treats their temps. You also gotta love how they tell you not to EVER return to the property or pick up any belongings!. Laugh out loud hilarious". The company was in the process of moving to a different floor so they did not even provide me with my own desk;. I was forced to work on and off of various employees desk tops/. Most people would think it's a little hard to get properly trained this way!.
I will never accept an assignment from them again". The recruiter has the personality of dead person".
Also, I'm sure that there's probably some other temp agencies that treat people much better than I experienced but as for Novus Staffing, avoid them at all costs". I'll work at Charlotte Russe or Macy's first. 31654a7

Temporary Agencies are an interesting beast. Most, if not all of them, follow a simple business plan. They are not in the business to find you work. They are in the business to sell their services to clients. There are few known tricks of the trade. Temporary Agencies have been known to post blanket job openings on numerous job boards to increase their “candidate” files. The idea behind this is very simple. The more people they have on file, they more businesses to sell their wares. So, calling an agency about a posting and hearing that a job has been filled is not uncommon. Should you decide to “register” with an agency, do not hold your breath for that perfect job. There are a few things that can happen to you. As an example, the agency gets an order for an Administrative Assistant. The first thing the “recruiter” will do is start calling people who match the client’s needs at the time. To sell you to the client, they would have had you “test” on different subject matters during “registration”. So with the scores in hand they begin their callings. However, if you do not answer the phone for whatever reason, they will go to the next person on their list. As to how they generate their calling lists, well I am sure that varies from place to place. But, I am sure the higher the score the higher on the list. Also, if you don’t tell them you are available on a daily or weekly basis you might not make it to the list.
So say that you do accept an... Show more

Relative to the job postings on our website, we serve many clients whose requirements change on a daily basis. Hence, we are always recruiting qualified candidates for current/future opportunities. In this instance, it’s apparent that we had a job for which this person was qualified, because he/she writes about the ending of his/her assignment.
With respect to a temporary assignment ending prematurely, one of the key reasons clients rely on temporary staffing companies is that they’re afforded the “flexibility” of expanding/contracting their workforce as they see fit. Although I can’t comment on this circumstance (because I only know what I’ve read here and nothing else) I will say that the situation portrayed seems unusual - and there’s often more to the story.
Lastly, I am alarmed and disappointed that someone who has had a less than perfect experience with my company has resorted to posting an anonymous complaint on the internet, as opposed communicating with us directly and affording us an opportunity to address/resolve his/her issue. Earlier this year, Novus was ranked the 5th fastest growing privately... Show more
