Great Staffing Agency! Very helpful in job search process, helped me find a new accounting role quickly. Very thorough with interview preparation. Ethical, reliable, trustworthy!
Worst staffing agency I have worked with.
I had an excellent experience with Mission Staffing on several levels. Max Cohen is the recruiter I work with. He is professional, personable, and very responsive, as is the team he works with. He contacted me directly with a contract opportunity that was a great fit for my professional experience and goals. He kept in close contact throughout the entire process making sure I was updated on the status of my application, interviews, offer, background check, and onboarding. I wouldn’t hesitate to work with Max and his team again, or to refer a close friend, family member, or colleague to them.
I have nothing but good things to say about Mission Staffing and Max Cohen, the recruiter I worked in 2020. In 2020, he contacted me about a remote contractor position for a hedge fund. Living in living in Georgia at the time, I was honestly hesitant at first to trust a firm in NYC, but looking back - Im very glad I took a leap of faith and chose to work with Max. Max was incredibly communicative, transparent, easy to reach, and professional through the interview process. He even negotiated better terms of the contract for my behalf when I voiced my needs. He has set me up with other interviews since my contract has ended, and the interviews that he sets me up with are very exciting and are good match for my career goals and skill set. I look forward to working with him in the future, and I recommend anyone else looking for an opportunity in the finance industry to do the same!
One of the best staffing firm in NYC! Thank you Max Cohen for your support!
I had an excellent experience working with Mission Staffing. After having an in-depth discussion about the type of role I was looking for and what trajectory I wanted my career to take, Max Cohen (VP at Mission Staffing) got me interviews with some of the top firms in my field. He helped me over the course of several months, getting me multiple interviews per week and ensuring I was prepared for them, until I finally found a role that stuck. I don’t understand all these negative reviews as this is not even my first time working with Mission, and they were equally as helpful in the past. If you aren’t able to land a job through them, then the issue is most likely between your keyboard and your chair (assuming you’re reading this from a desktop). It’s still up to YOU to cross the finish line, but Mission Staffing does an excellent job of getting you there.
I love Mission Staffing! The staff is professional, prompt and prepared at all times. They make it a priority to know clients and their unique staffing needs. Specifically, Max Cohen has always been intuitive enough to find the best candidates for me, oftentimes based on a single conversation. I highly recommend using Max Cohen and Mission Staffing because Max also matched me with the best job and best manager I’ve ever had!
My experience with Mission Staffing has been very positive. Max Cohen is my representative and has shown a high level of professionalism. He helped me land my last position with a small but reputable firm. That role was to help in a consulting manner for a transition.We are currently working together again and striving to find the right fit.Max is always available and understands my skills and does his best to direct me to opportunities in my field.I would recommend if you are seeking re-employment whether consulting or full time to reach out to Max and have a conversation.
Had a great experience with Mission. Max Cohen is great. Helped me land the perfect job at a great investment firm. I recommend

2022-03-30I have nothing but wonderful things to say about this firm and my recruiter Max Cohen! He was phenomenal, always picked up the phone to talk, got my resume sent over quickly and interview set up within days and an amazing offer that same day! During the interview process he would keep me informed of questions, feedback, you name it they covered it! I couldn’t thank them enough for making me feel like a human and not a number. If you are looking for quality recruiters make sure you reach out and hopefully they have a good match for you!

2022-09-19Absolutely the worst agency out there with shysters as recruiters. Max Cohen is the worst of them all! Be prepared for automated emails from him for jobs that he doesnt have, only to get your resume. I see why the agency scored so low. Im giving them a 1 star but they deserve zero stars for their bait and switch tactics. Im in the process of reporting them to the better business bureau and consumer affairs! Thats how bad they are.

2022-03-07This is not to discount others reviews, staffing agencies are a beast but with that being said I had a fairly pleasant experience with this company and my recruiter Kathleen Portella. I am thankful that they reached out to me when they did and helped me along each round of interviews I had to do with a company I now work for. They no doubt were instrumental in helping me land this role. I couldnt be more grateful because this was a permanent hire position at a company that has a wonderful workplace culture and prioritizes upward mobility for all employees. So thank you Mission Staffing for helping me stumble upon this gem!!

2021-07-23After applying to one of Mission Staffing’s position, I was contacted by an unprofessional and extremely rude recruiter named KATHLEEN PORTELLA. After talking to Kathleen multiple times, it was very apparent that she only saw me as her commission instead of a human being. She always hung up abruptly every time she hears something that she doesn’t like or confirm to her standards. And she said that she will get back to me after the interview but she ghosted me instead which is not what an experienced professional recruiter does. Overall, I would not recommend applying to positions posted by mission staffing as they are unprofessional and are not reliable to help you find a job. You will be wasting your precious time. Also, the client that they work with are rude and unprofessional as well.

2018-05-30I would highly recommend Mission Staffing to anyone looking for a position in the Accounting or Finance space and especially Lindsay Barrett. I also worked some with Brett Skolnik, who I also thoroughly enjoyed working with and would recommend. As a CPA, Lindsay definitely has a good grasp on the positions in which she recruits. She was very attentive to my interests and career goals and was able to educate me on the job market and positions that were in-line with my background and interests. Lindsay is extremely easy to talk to/work with and gave great insight. She was also very responsive and willing to answer any questions I had. I feel many recruiters nowadays are extremely pushy, but I never felt pressured by Lindsay or Brett what so ever throughout the process. I am very appreciative of Lindsay and Bretts help and it was a pleasure working with both of them!

2020-10-14My overall experience with Mission Staffing in NYC was 1 star. I had interviews with both Max Cohen and Jonathan Greenberg. Next, I had an follow-up interview with the Chief Administration Officer (CAO) of the contracted company. Max, asked me to follow up after my interview with the CAO. After my follow up, I didnt hear back from Mission Staffing for over two weeks. I sent an email for a update and Max responded that the contracted company was targeting a candidate from the Big 4. I have a thorough education from a prestigious business school along with working on a trading floor of a $50 Billion Fortune 500 company...but my resume clearly doesnt show that I have Big 4 experience and I never once led them to believe that I had that experience. I find it extremely unprofessional that Mission Staffing would waste my time and then not even provide a courtesy update to decline to proceed further. I sent an email for Mission Staffing to not have contact with me in the future and less than 10 minutes later the company attempts to call my personal cell phone 3 consecutive times. I would highly recommend STAYING AWAY from Mission Staffing.

2020-12-28I applied to one of Mission Staffings posting, if I am not mistaken, it was an Executive Assistant position. Lauren who is an unprofessional recruiter reached out to me to set up an interview time. I gave Lauren a list of times that I would be available to speak. All is confirmed. I waited at the designed time that we were going to speak. No word. Oh, she did say that she was going to call me. I emailed Lauren asking what happened. She said that she got stuck on calls. DIDNT OFFER TO RESCHEDULE EITHER!! Well now.. what was the point in setting up a designated time to chat if you cant follow through??? THIS was EXTREMELY UNPROFESSIONAL.

2019-08-13Although a nice group of people, they didnt have a lot of roles that suited me both professionally and personality-wise with the salary I was looking for (60k+). The only interview I got through them landed me a temp to perm role at a finance firm that sounded like a good opportunity, but ended up being a very bad fit all around.

2020-01-25SCAM, STAY AWAY. This firm uses the classic Bait and Switch tactic on their clients. I was called about a very prestigious role they had available and then later sold on a totally separate role once I went in for an interview. Complete waste of time and a fraud company. Stay away and do not give this company any business as they will scam you one way or another.

2018-04-11Terrible staffing agency that employs a bait-and-switch tactic. Someone emails you with a fantastic sounding job, you send you resume, few days later someone calls and guess what...that job is no longer available or your resume wasnt a match.
