I have worked through Pro Search at three different companies over the years. They are responsive, care about your experience as a temporary, you are paid weekly, and they offer some benefits. If you are retired and looking for a way to earn some extra money or are looking for a new position consider registering with ProSearch.

The recruiter, Brennon reached out to me regarding a part time contract role. This was my first in the industry, and involved a leap of faith for me. Brennon and Pro Search went above and beyond to get me cleared for the assignment which lead to a full time employment offer.
Thanks again Pro Search team for your responsiveness, professionalism and being such a joy to work with!

I'm from Pennsylvania and came to Maine with my boyfriend for his work. I reached out to ProSearch before coming out to see about finding a temporary position while I was here. Liz was very professional, courteous, efficient, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. She made finding a job effortless on my part. I had offers as soon as I got out here and she guided me through everything necessary to begin working. I was placed in a great position, making great money. I honestly couldn't be more thrilled with my decision to contact them. I will definitely be getting in touch with them again next year

This was my first recruiter experience with ProSearch and the best one. I was asked if I would be interested in a post and in a matter a couple of them. There was no pressure of course and information that was allowed to be shared with me was shared and when information could not be shared such as salary then they researched it for me for comparable position in same field in similar geographic region.
Even when I made me decision, I was still encouraged to take the time to make the final decision and so the ProSearch was not simply connecting the dots but rather cared about my thoughts along with

I was fortunate to connect with ProSearch when I was leaving a company that I had been with for many years. Tim and Todd set me up with an interview that turned into a 2+ year contracting role. This role has recently transitioned to full time employment. The ProSearch team has provided great support and been responsive to my many questions when I was new to contracting. They also have been long term sponsors for the Agile Maine organization, one of several ways they contribute to the local community.

Having known of and used ProSearch over the years, my last experience has left me numb by their practices in staffing/placement and, sadly, I've chosen not to use them again, either for sourcing or placement.
I'm an experienced professional in my field of management and Information Technology. Over the years I have sourced and hired many people myself as well as having used professional staffing firms to place me as a contractor/consultant. My first experience with ProSearch was excellent. Normally, their recruiters and placement folks are phenomenal, kind, personable and professional

I contacted the temporary employment manager and was given a truly ridiculous run-a-round. I called to inquire about temporary opportunities for which I believe I am qualified. I discussed a couple of jobs I believed to be a good fit to which I was provided a reason why I wasn't. She requested I email her two jobs that would match my qualifications because she didn't have time to look at all 75 temporary opportunities they currently have in their database. While on the phone I listed 2 opportunities that might fit - one she said I wasn't qualified for and one had no job description
