I've lived in the East Bay on and off for the last year and have had 4 assignments with Diversified, ranging from reception to inventory in a warehouse to filing in the SF financial district.\t\n\t\n I don't have much experience, but I think they see I work hard and I feel like they really do the best to get work for me. I've learned quite a bit. I've liked some employers more than others, but never had any problem with Diversified. Very friendly, even when I've asked them to fax me a last minute time sheet.\t\n\t\nPlus, I don't know what the previous reviewer is talking about about public trans, because I haven't driven to any of my assignments and the people at Diversified keep this on record--they go out of their way to tell me the public transit directions with out my even asking. I'm not coming from San Mateo, but they are located in Oakland, so realistically they can only cover a certain geographical distance. \t\n\t\nI will say that my assignments have mostly been short--2 weeks max, or weekly for 8 weeks. But this is what I've wanted--I think they would accommodate temps who want more intensive work too.\t\n\t\nFinally, most or all of their employers are non-profits or government orgs, which fits my comfort zone a bit more in terms of office culture. \t\n\t\n4/5 stars--one star off just because I could do with assignments a little more frequently. but in this economy, I don't really blame them...\t\nAnd this change of phone systems away from a 9-5 receptionist. ...read more

This company is owned by a woman who really cares about you as a person. I have been in constant contact with this office over the years and have had only the most positive results. Other recruiters are not as honest. At least this firm tells you truthfully what your chances are based upon a thorough review of your resume and skills. While I didn't get a job through them, their help was invaluable. They seem to genuinely care. I know some folks get frustrated when someone can't help them or they are searching for somethiing they are not qualified for but at least this firm always tells it like it is. It is tough out there and job hunting is hard. PS. The address is wrong, they are at 570 Monterey Blvd, SF 94127 415-405-0051 that old address is a recruiter I once worked with who has left. ...read more
