I have been working with GES for less than a year. The recruiter I have worked with is so unprofessional. So far two clients didn’t like me and the recruiter lied to me both times about why the assignment ended. The second one is a doozy. I had been at an assignment for two days. I went for day #3 and when I got there they had another girl from the same agency and no one told me. So a couple mins later I called the recruiter. She said she tried to call me the evening before but my phone was off and she didn’t leave a vm. My phone wasn’t off at the time she said she called. Then she told me the girl that was replacing me was someone that worked for that company part time. So we hung up and I asked the security guard if that girl was part time. He said no, she’s with the agency. So she lied about calling me and she lied about the girl replacing me. She didn’t even send me an email letting me know the assignment was ending.
It was humiliating and as dramatic as this may sound, it was a little like being fired from a job. I am working with two other agencies and haven’t had this problem with them. I don’t get how this recruiter still has a job.

Lauren Blakeman is incredible to work with. Absolutely dedicated to what she does. Highly recommended.

I went to GES for help to find a job. I worked with Lauren Blakeman and she really helped to point me in the right direction for my career goals.

I like how personable the staff are, Kiriana Gunn, she is a gem!

In the past I met with a recruiting Manager, Jackie Carlson, at GES. I was reaching out to her to get an understanding of how GES worked, and what kind of roles they sourced. Not only was she professional and an had an array of useful knowledge about job placement, but she was also super friendly and easy to communicate with. I would highly suggesting asking for her upon arrival at GES, you won’t be disappointed!

After finishing a Master’s degree at UIC, I didn’t know what to do post graduation. A couple minutes of google searches later, I discovered GES. They treated me fantastically through and through. Jackie Carlson happened to be my recruiter. She went as far to breakdown and analyze what I could improve on during interviews in addition to where my strengths were and how to strategically take advantage of them to leverage myself up as a better candidate. There was never a point where the importance of my status was questioned, the priority of my status appeared to be near VIP levels, but I suppose that’s just their standard of excellence. I thank Jackie with the bottom of my heart and would recommend GES to anyone and everyone.

Jackie Carlson at GES consistently sends us amazingly talented help on short notice. If your business is in need of reliable workers, you need look no further than GES.

Jackie Carlson at GES has been one of the best staffers for me. She is constantly offering me positions with different levels of flexibility and pay, and even when I’m not available she contacts me again quickly with another offer. She and the team reply to emails very expediently too, and I’ve never had a paycheck filed late or incorrectly. Great company to work with!

I began working at GES about four months ago. I was a recent theatre graduate and had very little administrative experience, Jessie Dengsavang was my first point of contact. He provided me with insightful information on how to successfully land a job internally. I was also met by Jackie Carlson, (Manager of the Contract to Hire department). She was very personable and made me feel at ease, she was helpful during my interview and assisted me on landing my first job outside of theatre and nannying. I am really grateful she took the initiative to also have the Division Director, Allison Lexow meet with me as well. Allison took a chance on hiring me and I am so appreciative for these wonderful women. Everyone in the office is hardworking and driven, I am so pleased that I get to surround myself with such respectful, successful and intelligent colleagues. Global Employment Solutions truly created a solution to my career transition.

I went to GES seeking job placement, I worked with Lauren Blakeman who was able to set me up with several different job opportunities. This allowed me to experience a wide range of jobs that I would have never been able to experience otherwise. During this time Lauren was very helpful and periodically checked in on me to make sure everything was going well.

Jackie Carlson is the best person.

Recently moved to Chicago and needed some help finding a job. Lauren Blakeman went above and beyond to help me in any way that she could. I’ve worked with recruiters before but none compared. She was always in contact and made sure I was up to date with everything. I now love my new job! Anyone in need of a new job go see Lauren!

I walked into GES not realizing it was a temp agency. I was a bit disappointed at first because I’ve been to other agencies but was never placed anywhere. I interviewed and was placed in a 6 month position the very same day. Allison checked in with me periodically to ask how things were going and near the end of my term asked what else I wanted in my next placement. The company I was with ended up keeping me on in a different department. Would refer anyone looking for temp work to them.

Upon finishing a Master’s degree at Depaul I was at a loss as to how to proceed after graduation. I reached out to GES unsure of what I wanted to do and they had me placed almost automatically with temp work. I was able to experience a few different offices while with GES, until at my last temp job I was hired on by the company full time. I cannot stress enough how amazing GES was to me. You feel welcome the minute you step inside their doors, and they are always prepared no matter the situation. I never had an email go unanswered, or an interview that I felt unprepared for. Jackie Carlson happened to be my recruiter and she went above and beyond my expectations. She made sure I was prepared for interviews, giving me lots of tools and support to help me ace the interview. She even went on to give feedback after the interview to help me improve, and let me say this thanks to her and her expertise my feedback was almost always positive. I felt like I was a priority all the time, that Jackie was always working to find me something, get me somewhere. I would highly recommend GES to everyone (and I have to many people).
Five stars all the way, GES comes highly recommended!

I had such a great experience working with my recruiter at GES, Lauren Blakeman. She went above and beyond my expectations and provided me with multiple opportunities that were just what I was looking for. She took the time to understand my interests and needs, and landed me a great job! Thank you for everything!

I had the opportunity to work with Lauren Blakeman for job placement. She was very informed and very helpful when assisting me with finding employment. Unlike most recruiters, she consistently contacted me with new opportunities and made sure I was well informed about the position. She made sure she found positions that were geared to my values and interests. I would recommend someone using her as a recruiter! She has a lovely personality and is very dedicated to her job! Thanks again, Lauren!

Trying to compile the words of appreciation I have for this agency is almost impossible because they have done so much for me. I could not have had a better experience with both, working alongside an agency, and quickly transitioning into a rewarding role. I worked with Ashley and Ally, and let me tell you that these are two rockstar recruiters who know exactly what they’re doing. Not only were they extremely helpful and supportive throughout the job placement process but even after, they still check up to see how I’m transitioning in.
In this day in age, finding work can be challenging. But in working with GES, it was almost like angels came to save me from this scarce job market, and then placed me so nicely in the position I currently am in.
Bottom line: I created a Unilocal account just to write this review. They are stellar, and I definitely recommend them to whoever is reading this.

GES Network is an excellent agency to be considered for employment. Everyone I encountered was very friendly and genuinely seems concerned about my job search. Never once did I feel slighted or felt that I was being treated poorly. I’ve also always received my communications good or bad back in a timely fashion. My direct recruiter name is Jackie Carlson. She’s freaking awesome by the way!!! She has great communication and she makes every effort to ensure that your skill set is matched with your position. She’s she’s very knowledgeable and their companies database of clients that they work with. She makes the transition very smooth. I would recommend GES network to any of my friends coworkers anyone looking for work!!!

I agree with most of the one star ratings for this agency. I was solicited via email from them, met with a recruiter named Jackie Carlson, was told to «check in» weekly and never received a response from them. I would, however, recommend Loftus & O’Meara. They do not make you feel like a «number» and are worth the time and effort to meet with them, unlike this company.

Typical recruiters.
You’ve seen this movie before. Someone has «an opportunity» that seems like it would be a «great fit,» is shady on the details, calls you in for an in-​person interview, then you talk to about four different people who have never seen your resume and ask you the same questions over and over. They’ll let you know if something comes up, advise you to stay in touch, never call again, and your e-​mails go unreturned.
Don’t bother.
