Aquent is a global workforce solutions company that helps organizations find, grow, and support their most valuable resource-people. More than 30 years ago, we invented the creative and marketing staffing specialty and continue to be the largest in the world. By challenging conventional wisdom, we continuously innovate across talent, services, and technology within the creative space and beyond.
We know our talent deeply, their skills, and where they'll shine. We focus on your goals and understanding exactly who you need. We've been at this for 35 years, and we still love connecting our clients and talent to create great things together. Microsoft envisioned an everywhere-you-go virtual assistant, Cortana.
If you work at a large organization, chances are your business relies on the contingent workforce to remain competitive and reach its goals. That workforce has transformed in recent years-it's larger, more strategic, and brings more specialized expertise than ever before. Contingent talent also expect more from contingent roles, no longer willing to trade benefits, professional development, or employee engagement for flexibility.
Scout is a recruitment marketplace that matches you to the best recruiters to fill your open roles. With Scout, you can tap into all the top recruiters across job categories, find the right permanent and contingent candidates faster, and seamlessly manage all your vendor relationships and back-office functions in one place, through a single point of contact.
Aquent Square Deal is a fresh approach to payroll transfer that enables you to attract and retain top-performing talent at a fair, competitive price. Unlike traditional payrolling, our Employer of Record Service delivers a premium talent experience and ultimate flexibility and pricing transparency for clients.

I was assigned to recruiter Heather P., who works remotely from New York. Heather was unprofessional, abrasive and snarky. I had to decline a temp offer in advance (due to another obligation) and she literally berated me. I thought she was going to curse me out!
Heather P. is a poor reflection of Aquent and based in my experience, I may consider legal action (yeah...it was like that).

Jennifer Lee reached out to me regarding a position at Netflix back in July of 2018 and the process could not have gone better. She not only stayed in constant communication with me throughout the initial interview process to gather feedback and to encourage me through each round, but she even made sure to check in after I started to ensure that everything was going smoothly. On top of that, once I got into Netflix, I realized that she was able to find a position for me that leveraged both my Ad Operations and my Product knowledge, instead of just one or the other. So she managed to find a great

I've always had a positive experience working with Aquent, but Jennifer Lee truly is my kind of recruiter: accountable, no-nonsense, and driven to get the job done.
She guided me through a difficult out-of-state application that could easily have been too long of a shot. She's always been available to answer questions, or provide solutions when I've needed it.
And, not that I'm looking to change jobs again any time soon, but when the time comes I hope to work with her again.

Jennifer is an incredible resource and ally to have on your team. She elevates the candidate/recruiter relationship by bringing an honest and personal touch. Jennifer recently helped me with a new job search and I am blown away. Her communication was always constant - email follow up after every conversation, a break down of what to expect, background on the client, etc. I would always get a few texts before my interviews as well. I never felt out of the loop and I appreciate that so much. Jennifer will be your cheerleader every step of the way. I highly recommend her!

I've been so impressed with the personal touch Brie Tomaszewski brings to our interactions when she's got potential work for me. She's taken some time to get to know me and I can tell that she's looking out for my best interest as well as that of her clients. It's been a really quality experience so far! I'm always happy to see an email or receive a call from Brie and I highly recommend her to anyone considering signing on at Aquent.

They are completely incompetent. They couldn't get any part of the project I was working on right. They weren't sure of the rate we agreed to, couldn't figure out how to set up the timecards to last the full length project and seemed baffled by any issue that came up. You would think they could manage to get me paid for the hours worked, but issues there as well. I enjoyed working for the company I was with and had an opportunity to go back to finish a project, but wouldn't do it because working with Aquent is such a disaster.

My experience working with Aquent through Jordan has been great thus far! I worked with Jordan on my last contract and she was awesome! She was really good with communicating with me whether it be phone or email on any updates throughout the recruitment process. And she made sure to get me the best contract she could with the client!

Both the agents and the HR at this branch completely disrespect their talent, treating them as a number rather than an individual. Upon my initial interview and portfolio review, I was promised a follow-up and several leads. Despite my diligent effort to update staff with my portfolio and provide new work samples for certain employers (which sometimes required a full day's work for no payment), the agents rarely if never followed-up. Though I was encouraged by the company policy to check in every week, one of the agents actually lost it on me and told me I didn't have to contact her as

I've had a very good relationship with Aquent, which has been especially responsive and proactive in the difficult task of managing placement in creative/digital marketing roles. I'd come to them, I believe, through the referral program, and have had consistently had positive interactions since then. Even in complex situations I know they can be trusted. I recommend Aquent!

I have nothing but praise for the Los Angeles office and team! They are by far the best employment agency I have worked with. They specialize in marketing and creative services roles (at the professional level) and recruit for some of the world's top companies and entertainment studios. Opportunities through Aquent range from short term assignments, long-term (1-2 years) contracts and contract-to-hire opportunities. They also offer great benefits, including health insurance and travel discounts.
Their agents are incredibly thoughtful and dedicated when it comes to finding you the right

Aquent is amazing! They truly hire great talent. I work with several talented individuals that were hired by Aquent at a Fortune 500 company. I recently moved from Florida to California, and although it took some time to find a job, I was lucky to get found by Aquent. My agent Jennifer found me on LinkedIn, and the hiring process went really smooth and quickly. I was hired and working in less than a month. The agency keeps close ties with the hiring managers to make sure your best interest is at heart. At least once every couple of months I eat lunch with Jennifer and the Account Manager, Britni

I seriously don't understand why these other people are giving low stars. First off your employment status and your performance is your responsibility. I update and review my portfolio and my resume materials every month because I am determined to reach every goal I set for myself.
Aquent is a agency that can offer you great opportunities to some of the best companies around. In my experience I made sure I asked the questions that were important to me and kept communication open with my amazing agent Brie! Not only is she stunning to look at (no lie) she is so sweet and always on top of

Debra at the Los Angeles office had my best interests in mind with a contract position that took months to land. She kept in touch, updating me on the opening's status. She's continued to check in regarding the project and my progress, which I appreciate.
I look forward to working with her and Aquent in the future.

I've had a great experience with Brie and everyone else at Aquent. Within a month of signing up, they found me a job that fit my skills perfectly and led to a long-term contact. It's wonderful that I can get the health benefits through them too. It's easy to submit my timecard and Brie regularly checks in to make sure my job is going well.
I definitely recommend them for anyone looking for a job, especially in the world of marketing and sales.

Really loved the experience from the beginning up until now.
Brie Tomaszewki is my agent and is one of the nicest and most effective persons I have worked with in my life. Thanks to her I now have a job at Mattel and so far I love it.
Brie helped me with every steps from the interviews, the paperwork once I got hired, to the stressful first day and is still in touch with me today on a regular basis to make sure everything is going well.
I would highly recommend this agency to anyone and would particularly recommend working with the amazing Brie Tomaszewki.
Thank you!!!

I have mixed feelings.
The agents were cordial and gave me some good advice on improving my resume and portfolio however, not only was I not placed they didn't even get me an interview. I managed to set up six interviews and get hired on somewhere by myself before they did anything.
I think if you have certain qualifications they might be able to get you "in the door" at a marquee company but other than that you can probably do better on your own. I'm not saying they're bad but my experience wasn't stellar. You should check out www.indeed.com first if your resume
