Thu May 13 2010Jill Rosenfeld was my case worker here and really helped me out. I answered an ad on craigslist, came in on Monday, had two interviews on Tuesday, and was hired as a receptionist by Tuesday afternoon. Really can't say enough good things about this place, they prepped me, edited my resume, boosted my confidence, and made job hunting just a little bit less scary. GO HERE!

Sun Apr 25 2010Upon arrival, the front desk attendants were extremely helpful with paperwork and questions. I met with Jacquelyn, who immediately made me feel at ease. I appreciated her familiar, yet professional, demeanor. She assured me that she was going to do everything she possibly could for me. I can't tell you how that made me feel. After having contacted several temp agencies (and hearing NOTHING back), it was such a relief to meet with someone so obviously hell-bent on getting me work. She immediately got me two and half weeks of work. As for my experience, I can't praise Forrest Solutions, and Jacquelyn in particular, enough. --Matt

Wed Apr 21 2010The HR manager I worked closely with said "you have to talk to Jeff Allen" and I am so thankful she said that. When I met with Jeff I felt as if he knew me. I was incredibly gun shy at the time, and had met with countless recruiters who were all incredibly fake. I was also in the fashion industry (which is pretty fake), only meeting with fashion recruiters and yet I felt the blank stares as I told them my story and many times would leave feeling unfulfilled no matter their lofty promises. When I met with Jeff, knowing he was a recruiter for all fields I wasn't sure he'd understand me and yet, he listened, picked up on different qualities I mentioned, what I wanted from an employer, my goals and aspirations and the first thing he said to me was: "I will find you your next job" - and he was telling me this during the worst recession in our history and during a holiday season and yet, I had confidence in him. I spoke with Jeff often, he introduced me to his colleagues and we discussed ... Read more

Mon Apr 19 2010I had enlisted with several major employment agencies while on my job search in NYC. I had a lot of discouraging or less-than-helpful experiences with these agencies (talk about being treated like a nameless piece of meat!) until I went to meet with Jeff at Forrest Solutions. Jeff was the first person I met on my search who genuinely listened to what I was looking for in a job and employer, and delivered job leads only of that nature. Not only was he super pleasant to work with, but he was the only one that worked to connect me to a job where I would be happy long-term rather than one just to make himself a commission. I knew I would find a job, but with Jeff, I found one where I am still happily employed years later. If it wasn't for Jeff, I would have never connected with my boss- who I absolutely LOVE to work for, and it was Jeff's intuition that knew we would be a great match for each other. My boss agrees:) Jeff was a breath of fresh air, and I won't hesitate to call him with my j... Read more

Mon Apr 19 2010Joanna Ascani - A++++ I applied to an ad and was contacted by Joanna.. With the crazy work schedule that I had, I literally had zero time to make it into the city to meet with her. She came all the way to me and set me up on interviews immediately. I met a lot of the Forrest Solutions crew, and they all seemed great, but Joanna really made me feel like I was her #1 priority and really discussed everything she had for me. She didn't want to just apply me anywhere and have me be unhappy. Also, when I was frazzled for a job interview in the snow, I forgot to bring my resume with me (duh) but she was right there, with my resume in hand, ready for me to go to the interview. A true life-saver!!! Oh, and she even helped me get my resume into tip-top shape. All in all, I put my trust in Joanna, and I think i will find a great career, thanks to her. :) I have to add - Joanna calls and follows up with me just to see how I'm doing and give me updates. It's nice to be treated like a perso... Read more

Mon Apr 19 2010In my job search, I contacted many agencies. Many agencies in which lure you in and say how many jobs they have for you and once you take the time out to actually go in to see them they leave you with lots of false hope. I was told not to take temp jobs…my resume and experience is superb and that I should land a job in no time. If I would have waited for those other agencies, I would still be out of a job. That is when I contacted Forrest Solutions. Everyone was so personable and very knowledgable. Especially Jeff Allen. He made sure to inquire as to what I needed in my next career move. He went above and beyond to assure I received what I needed as far as location and most importantly salary/benefits. Once he confirmed my interview, I received a call prior the interview and one after to full up. He gave me whatever the feedback was and stated his opinion. I have so much to be thankful for now and it is all b/c of Jeff. Not only will he be the 1st person I contact if I ever see myself... Read more

Sun Apr 18 2010I moved to New York in early February from Seattle looking for part-time work while I applied to full-time jobs. I called Forrest Solutions on a Monday, went in for an interview with on Tuesday and within 2 days had my first job opportunity. I've been "temping" for about two months now and have had a very pleasant experience. Stacey and the rest of the staff at FS have been professional, friendly, and supportive. There is a continuous stream of job opportunities in many different work sectors so it is nice to be able to pick-and-choose my work-- I've worked for high-end real estate companies, law firms, consulting companies, and health care companies. I highly recommend FS for part-time work in New York. I have nothing but positive things to say about the company. They are hard-working, dedicated, and understanding

Sat Apr 17 2010When I moved to New York three years ago my brother recommended I call Stacey Garacia at Forrest Solutions for some temp assignments. She found me assignments immediately and regularly after that. She is personable and really cares about what what her clients and staff are looking for. I admire her professionally and personally and would never hesitate to recommend her enthusiastically!!!!

Fri Apr 16 2010I just want to go on the record that Forrest Solutions is a good place to temp at. My agent is Stacey garacia and she's always been extremely helpful in getting me work. I'm an actor so I need things that are flexible and can move around my schedule, and I get that here. They've always been good to me, which is why I've been with them for almost two years now. Thanks Stacey :0)

Tue Apr 13 2010This was my first time meeting with anyone at Forrest Solutions. Jeff Allen was the perfect fit for me. After being unemployed for 10 months, I felt very insecure and unsure if I would ever find something in this job market. He made me feel comfortable, confident and hopeful that the right job was out there and assured me he would do whatever it takes to find it. I recommend him to anyone looking for a job.

Sun Apr 11 2010Jeff Allen is amazing at what he does! He takes the time to get to know each candidate. I always find myself referring my friends to Jeff. Many recruiters in NYC are all talk but Jeff is sincere. I wouldn't waste my time with any other recruiter. You can go to Jeff if you are looking for a job or if you need career advice. I highly recommend him!

Sun Apr 11 2010I LOVE Forrest Solutions in general and JEFF ALLEN in particular! I met Jeff when I was employed at a dead-end job. He helped put me on the right track. He would never let me get upset about my employment situation because he always encouraged me and told me that what a great candidate I am. He put me in touch with industry professionals so that I can learn more about the industry. He also set me up with several different interviews for equally great positions. Shortly after leaving my place of employment, Jeff recommended me as a candidate to a great firm in NYC and after Jeff’s recommendation to the employer, the interview was a cinch! I got the job and am still happily employed doing exactly what I wanted to do all along. Jeff is reliable, easy to reach (unlike most other recruiters in NYC) and I feel confident in contacting Jeff with any future needs. If I should ever be in the job market again, I will call Jeff directly. No point in wasting time with anyone else!

Thu Apr 08 2010Stacey is the best at finding you the work. I love her comfortable attitude and she's always ready to help you get the job, or get you covered if you can't do the job. I would recommend anyone who is seeking temporary work to go to Forrest Solutions and ask for Stacey.

Thu Apr 08 2010I've been with forrest on and off for about 2 years now. (i'm a freelancer and temp inbetween gigs) Stacey Garcia has been my recruiter and I've had a great experience with her. She'll bust her butt to find you work and wear a smile while she does it!
