They got me to work fast and were very friendly and professional. The companies have been a pleasure to work with so far!

I want to give a good review, honestly I do, but I really can't based on my experience with them in the past, they really was not consistent enough to keep me on a work assignment. I would go through months with no call but I would call every now and then to check-in. Who really has time to sit around waiting, especially if you need your bills paid. You are suppose to keep your best workers working. I found The Bettinger Company located not that far from Philly Temps. The Bettinger Company are REALLY good and also they offer... read more

Very low level of professionalism from this small agency. The follow up, follow through with the their clients is hardly existent. Much better agencies in philadelphia that they could learn from.

No Followup – I had a strange experience with Philly Temps. When I went in for an interview with them, they were very nice and seemed to really like my resume. However, they sent me on one interview and I never heard back from them. I called Sequoia after the interview, as instructed. She was busy, so I spoke to someone else. I sent two e-mails to Sequoia to try to get some feedback, but she never answered. This is the only agency that has ever dropped me without a word and I have no idea why. I was fine with not getting the... read more

A Great Temping Experience – I had recently moved to Philadelphia and was cash poor and completely over getting a serving job. I've been looking to get a career track going for a while, but because of various circumstances I've had to move a lot lately, and that's meant jobs that start quickly and easy pay. I decided to try sending my resume out to temp agencies and the literally the only one that even contacted me (and I don't have a completely sad resume) was Philly Temps. It was probably two and half weeks after sending t... read more

Great Agency – I've been registered with Philly Temps for quite a few years and have had nothing but great experiences. I noticed some negative reviews and would like to say that they will send you on assignments that you are qualified for and in the pay range you stated during your interview with them. If you are on one assignment and something comes in that you may b e suited for no, they will not pull you from one to work the other and there isn't a temp agency in the world who will do so. If you stated that you wanted no... read more

Philly Temps is the best! – I started working with Philly Temps about six months ago. As a freelance writer/musician, I needed some steady work while still reserving time for my other pursuits. Philly Temps has been great at finding me work. At first I bounced around a bit. I had a short stint at the convention center and also worked a catered event. After a month or so, I started working at an office in Center City doing data entry and other general office things and have been working on and off in that office ever since. I... read more

Attentive Agency – I was pleased with my experience with Philly Temps. I have never worked for a temp agency before so I did not know what to expect. The staff was very attentive and worked their best to get me work fast. They are also good at following up with you. I have already recommended them to a friend.

Favoritism vs. Ineptitude – I was referred to Phillytemps from a friend who had gotten a direct hire placement. When going through the same service, I was placed with short term (a few days here and there) placements, after explicitly stating my interest in long-term temp-to-perm positions. I was called out of the blue to do them a favor for a placement for 4 hours, that needed me there right that moment. I did it. I was placed with the next company for 3 days. Completed. The company called back and requested me for an addit... read more
