AppleOne Employment Services

This place is a scam. I met Apple One and Jamie through a job fair. I was told that the company had a position opened with a prestigious PR agency in Chicago that would fit with what I am looking for. He said come in for an appointment to learn more about the job.
Before I went, I was sent a link to take a test. I later learned that I was supposed to watch an online video before I took the test, which I never got. Anyway I passed it with no problems.
I went in for the appointment and to my surprise had to fill out a bunch of paper work. I didn’t really want to, but with a promise of a job interview I figured why not. After I was through, I waited for about another 30 minutes. I was in the office for about 2.5 hours. I actually spoke with my representative Jamie for about 20 minutes.
Finally I got to the «interview». He asked me some questions, which I answered. Then we got to the job opening. He gave me the job description. I noticed in the section that had the company name was different than what he told me. His response was «oh, that is the company we work with to get these jobs». I asked him how soon would I know if I would be called in for an interview with the company he presented. He gave me a deadline. I waited until then.
The first time I called for an update was on a Tuesday and he was off for the day but would be back in the next. I left him a message and sent an email. I called the next day and he was in a meeting and would get back to me. I heard nothing back; no phone call or email. And still to this day have heard nothing.
I did an internet search on the company listed and it is a company that sells office equipment; nothing to do with another agency or PR company. I looked up some other stuff on the sheet I was given and now believe it was a fake ad. I think he or someone just copied and pasted everything.
To make a long story short, I was reeled in by a fake job opening. If you are looking for a recruiter, stay away.

Jaime is my contact with apple one and I gotta say he is THE BEST. Like honestly I came in looking for work in January 2015 and I found a full time myself. I got a call recently from Jaime asking me about work and if I was looking again cause he had a job he thought was perfect for me. And it was so I went for the interview and GOT IT. Its contract but it pays wayyyy better than my current job did which I was looking for an out of. Honestly Jaime remembered me MONTHS later. He really cares and works with his people. He might have been more excited than me when I got the job. Is work with Apple one again. They are nothing but helpful. ESPECIALLY JAIME DELANO!!!

The first person I see when I go to Apple One is Jessica Gasca. She is the perfect person to have on the front line. Jessica is Always smiling and so professional, not to mention very knowledgeable about everything that’s going on in the office. It’s a real treat to be greeted by Jessica. I look forward to going to the office because it’s Jessica I’ll see first.
Caryn Phillips is the absolute best Employment Recruiter in the office, when ever I call her, and I know I call ALOT she is always so attentive and always has some information for me, she never complains about me calling her too much. If Caryn thinks I’m a fit for a job she gets, she calls me rite away, and I appreciate that so much. Caryn always has something nice and encouraging to say, she is so easy to talk to, and always goes beyond the call of duty to assure me she’s doing everything she can to do find the right job for me. One day I showed up at the office unannounced to see Caryn, of course she was busy, but she told Jessica to have me wait and when she came to the waiting area to see me, she showed up with a big smile ready to help me and assured me there was no problem with me showing up unannounced. By far Apple One has to be the best agency Ive had any affiliation with. Keep up the AWESOME job Apple One… Good Job!!!

Despite the negative reviews on Unilocal about Appleone, I decided to go in anyway. The moment i walked in the receptionist (Jessica), greeted me with a smile and informed me in detail of what the process was with their agency.
I met with Ana Bottecchia whom was very professional. She also offered to assist me with restructuring my resume. She still continues to follow up with me and gives me interview tips.
I left Appleone feeling as if they had a genuine interest in helping me.

LIARS– they lied to me about a job with an account that they NEVER HAD to get me in there and waste 3 hours of my time to get me in there system. I know they lied bc i was contacted by the «said client» after i applied through there website and told they were NOT working with AppleOne and it was a scam to get me to sign up with there agency.
WHAT HORRIBLE ETHICAL PRACTICES, This place is such a scam.
