New Abbott & Associates Client

Thank you so much for taking the time to speak with my referral a few weeks ago. She spoke very highly of you and was appreciative of your honesty and feedback (you told her what she suspected, but no other recruiting firm was honest enough to say).

Really appreciate your follow through and taking care of her, even if she wasn’t a good fit.

Nayibe, Abbott & Associates Job Seeker

When I was working through Abbott and Associates, Rachel was an excellent point of contact! She’s very thorough in her answers and she was always timely in sending them. Her expectations were always clear, and she paid close attention to what I wanted out of my work. Without Rachel’s help, I never would have been able to attain my full-time position at a local teaching hospital.

Mike, Abbott & Associates Job Seeker

They were the best to work with. Got me an amazing Job! Many of my co-workers also started here they help to build amazing work families who are driven to help others.

Melanie, Abbott & Associates Job Seeker

Having moved to Portland, OR in early 2015, I was finding the job market a little overwhelming. I had a notion that I wanted to move into Healthcare Administration. Abbott and Associates made this happen for me. From my very first contact I was impressed with Abbott’s efficiency, willingness to help, and understanding of my personal situation. I was especially interested in working at a local teaching hospital, and Abbott’s set me up with a bunch of interviews in rapid succession. I eventually secured a temporary position at a local teaching hospital, which has now turned in to permanent, full-time position. I am so grateful to Joan and Rachel at Abbott’s for helping me turn my career aspirations in to a reality. If you are looking for work in a healthcare setting, at that teaching hospital or elsewhere, I would wholeheartedly recommend you contact Abbott and Associates. Don’t hesitate, do it today!

Nigel, Abbott & Associates Job Seeker

Working with Abbott & Associates was very rewarding. Onboarding was easy, and they were able to help me achieve my goal of working first as a temp, then getting hired as a regular full-time employee of a large medical institution. They arranged for me to get the initial training required of anyone who wishes to work there, then presented me as a candidate for contract work in two different offices–and I was offered both positions the same day! I accepted one and spent eight months learning and doing a very complex job before being hired as a regular employee. Through it all, working with Abbott was very easy. I highly recommend them.

Mark, Abbott & Associates Job Seeker

A&A have worked with me for years and found a bouquet of exciting and educational administrative positions in several different departments at a local teaching hospital. They made a huge difference in my life by recognizing my ability to be more than a barista or basic office staff, and I am grateful every morning on my way to work that they took the time to learn about my skills and match me to positions. Joan and Rachel are not only excellent at what they do, they are excellent people as well – the type you would be wise to get on your side! I will never forget their kindness, compassion, and cooperation, and not many people can say that for a staffing company! If you have the focus to follow through, they won’t let you down. Five Stars A++ for Abbott and Associates!

Ruby, Abbott & Associates’ Biggest Fan

Abbott and Associates were amazing and were very supportive in my decision about not wanting to commute to certain areas. They helped me to achieve my long-term goal of permanent employment. Staff was always very friendly and VERY helpful throughout the process. They also set realistic expectations as to what the processes were for employment. If I ever found myself out of work again, I would definitely go through them again.

Candice, Abbott & Associates Job Seeker

This professional placement agency helped me tremendously. They were supportive, friendly, and exceptional at communication and replying as quickly as possible when I needed assistance. They provided multiple options as soon as I was ready for business, supported my need for public transportation, and whenever I needed placement they offered multiple options within less than 48 hours. Thanks to this agency I was able to get a job at a large company that has continued to provide training for job growth. I’m very grateful! Thank you, Joan and Rachel, for your graciousness, patience and support.

Stephanie, Abbott & Associates Job Seeker

Personally, one of the best temp agencies I have ever worked with. Rachel was extremely proficient and reliable. Worked very fast to find me my new employer with great results. I would go through Abbott & Associates again if I find myself in need of employment.

Aaron, Abbott & Associates Job Seeker

Without the assistance of the team at Abbott & Associates I would not have been able to have the job I now have and enjoy. Within one week of signing up with Abbott I was sent on my first assignment. Everyone at Abbott is extremely professional, friendly and helpful. I have tried other staffing agencies, and Abbott is by far the most professional agency I have worked with and the one that I have recommended and will continue to recommend. Thank you for being an awesome team and for helping me find temp work and permanent full-time employment.
