I have been leaving voice mails for "Grace" to call back so that we can hire a temp, not only has she not returned the VM's for days, but the receptionist has a horrible attitude and tells me to call the Calgary office, even though we need a temp for EDMONTON! Totally would not recommend them. If they don't want out business, we'll go somewhere else!

I was a university student hoping to find some work through Kelly Services back in 2011, I eagerly visited their office downtown and put in an application hoping for a somewhat speedy response. Two years later (I have since graduated), I was contacted by a woman named "Stephanie" who was nice enough to inform (via voicemail) that they had a position for me. Not wanting to keep them waiting, I responded the next day to inform them that I was currently employed with EPS, to which she replied that the job was already unavailable. I'm writing this review as a warning for those who are job hunting and wish for a speedy response: Kelly Services will take years to get back to you, only to say the position they had reserved is no longer available. While there incompetence did not affect me directly, I do find it most mind boggling that they think someone would wait 2.5 years you get a response! Do Not Use This Service!!!!

Worked for Kelly Services for four years. I had three Kelly Services contract rep's during that time the first two where very professional the last one was the worse. I had to switch temp companies since the last Kelly's rep didn't keep in contact with me even though I worked for Kelly's for awhile. They also pay really badly.

Working for kelly services is kind of like having a pimp. They add no value beyond connecting you with clients, and take half of what you're paid. Kelly Services pays in the range of $15/hour but they charge their clients in the range of $25 to $30/hour (this is for office work, I'm sure it's different for other industries, although I suspect they make a similar percentage). Any e-mails or phone calls trying to discus pay or raises will be ignored, regardless of how long you've worked there or how good your reviews are. They will misrepresent the length of the job and the likelihood of you being hired permanently. They offer zero training and send you utterly unprepared into offices that, at the rate they're paying, reasonably expecting you to be a pro at whatever you were hiring you for. I fell for it when I was out of school, unemployed, and in desperate need of a job. I accepted temporary position at $15/hour even though that was well below my market value. I assumed it was just a temporary stepping stone, that I'd be hired on permanently by the company I was placed into as soon as my 8 week placement was up. Nope! Kelly services works it into their contracts that the company may not hire you without paying huge penalties, keeping me in a cycle of perma-temp for 2 years. Anyway, if you're looking to hire a temp, you have a better chance of finding someone qualified by pulling some random person off the street. If you're a higschool drop out with a history of drug addiction, but can show up on time at least, kelly will hire you! If you're educated and qualified, just hold out longer for a job that will respect you.

Seeing negative comments is good enough for me.
