We help companies find the top college grad talent in Northern Virginia, Maryland, and Washington, DC. We focus on doing one thing, and doing it right. In 2003, two college students became frustrated with the typical college job offerings of selling kitchen knives, painting houses, or anything with the phrase "Residual Income" or "Make Thousands From Your Dorm Room."
When it comes to your team, you should never have to settle. Our grad applicants go through a multi-step process including phone and in-person interviews with our staff. We identify the best and brightest in all fields including administrative support, customer and membership service, information technology, HR, accounting, marketing, and more.
No career experience yet? No problem. We work with students of all degrees, interests, and backgrounds. We want to help you find work that excites you, and at the end of the day, we simply look for grads that have the right attitude and work ethic to make an impact on an organization. We'll connect to make sure your career goals and job search align with the companies we are partnered with.

Man Rob was a blessing come true, I have been in the job market for roughly 6 months I’ve had luck with some recruiters majority of them not so much. Rob literally made me his priority he set up a few interviews for me so we wouldn’t have all our eggs in a basket. He landed me a temp to hire position with an amazing company. I’m just 3 weeks I was offered an offer sheet to come on board as a full time employee. Ask for Rob Matyas that’s your guy!

I signed on with ROCS Grad Staffing in December, after months of trying to find new work opportunities on my own without success. My contact, Jason Brown, was kind, professional, quick to respond to all of my questions, and helped me out on every step of the job seeking process. Within a week of our first meeting, I had an interview with an exciting company for a position that matched my qualifications and experience. I am happy to report that I am now employed with said company, and am eagerly looking forward to my first day! I couldn't have done any of it without Jason's help, and I will happily

ROCS Grad Staffing is a great agency to work with for whoever is looking to move to the next level in their career search. I haven't heard about them until I started working with them. And to be honest I was skeptical at the very beginning until I got a contract through them in one wonderful company with great work culture and environment. Another great thing about ROCS is that they follow-up more often to check on you since we all know that changes always in one way or another affects us, and they always there to clarify your concerns if you do have some. Fortunately, I do like my new workplace

My experience with ROCS was great. My recruiter Jason Brown went above and beyond for me. The interviewing process can be pretty stressful for me but working with Jason helped relieve some of that anxiety. He’s a true professional. You can tell that he actually cares and wants you to be happy in your new career. I highly recommend ROCS, especially Jason if you can get him.

I worked with Danielle a recruiter at ROCS, she was very professional, helpful, and understanding person to work with while finding a job. I appreciate all the hard work she put into helping me land the position with a great company! I honestly highly recommend ROCS Grad Staffing and working with Danielle. She exceeded my expectations and made the process as smooth as possible.

Because of ROCS, I was able to land a dream job during the peak of the pandemic in 2020. They listened to my interests and made the job-hunt/application process so much easier, and stress-free. I had the pleasure of working alongside ROCS for 1.5 years, and I strongly recommend them to any post-grad who's ready to jumpstart their career. Thanks ROCS!

ROCS for me is a dream come true. Everyone that I have had to interact with has been nothing short of amazing and selfless! They are very hands on and professional but also friendly. I want to specifically highlight my recruiting agent Devin. Devin is an awesome lady! She made me feel at ease and guided me through every step. From making sure I was fully prepared for my interview to checking in with me on how my interview went. This is the kind of experience that is guaranteed if you stick to ROCS.

The person on the phone was sweet, but as far as progress goes- I never got an interview with the salary advertised. I tried 3 separate times. The jobs they advertise... I'm not sure actually exist.
I don't plan to ever use a recruiter, because what bothers me the most, is the name of the company is hidden, so it could be a horrible company and you wouldn't know it until after setting up an interview which is time consuming.
I know it's tiring, but just apply jobs for yourself. Some examples is: your college job board, career shift, and indeed. Look up the name of the company

I want to share my disdain for this company, if you can even call it a company.
I have tried more than FOUR times with them!
they never returned my phone calls, and in the comments they stated "we tried calling you" when they never did.
They do NOT want to help you! They either pick and choose on whom they help just to keep ratings. Just cause I wrote a bad review exposing how fraudulent of a company they are, they are reluctant to help me.
I think I had my final straw when Tom Moore (alleged owner) was unwilling to help me, I sent over my Resume and he asked if I am still working at

So I had an interview with ROCS in January and at the interview the two people were so interested in me and enthusiastic so I felt like this would be a great staffing agency for me. However it has been radio silence since then. I never heard back from the guy who was supposed to be my go to person. No follow up calls or email, no job placements, not even a hey are you alive. So for anyone looking for temp work I would highly suggest you stay away from ROCS.

Don't bother. Any other recruitment agency in the area will be more than willing to help. These guys? Nope. I didn't show up to a "formal" first interview to talk about my resume because my dad ended up being admitted to the hospital and later that week passed away. This was in November 2018!!! I called them several times after and they hung up my calls. I then formally emailed them this week (MARCH 2020) and Mr Brandon Labman informed me that since I missed the "interview" in November 2018 that they refuse to move forward.
WOW. First of all the "interview"

Jackie was my advisor and reached out to me a couple of days after I sent in an application through Indeed. I see a lot of negative reviews here and I strongly feel like they come from those who didn't really know what they were getting into. So if you're curious about this organization and what they do, definitely take a look at their website. They did offer me positions with a lot of experience potential, the downside was the pay. It was made clear that the pay could increase with time but it wasn't guaranteed so I have to make the decision of whether I'll be patient and

While Initially I was incredibly excited about the opportunity, I am so upset that no less than 30 minutes after a phone interview, A rep called my current place of work to introduce their services. This could have cost me my job. I work in a very small office. When I emailed my recruiter about the situation, she said the two weren't related, which seems very improbable given they have never called our office before giving them my information. All I got was a short apology and the " If I have any questions" response. They used me to solicit their services and might have cost me my

I sincerely wish I could give this place a better review, but I don't want anyone suffering the same problem as I have. My recruiter, Pete, seemed more like a terrifyingly high pressure salesman who got easily upset for every little thing. And I mean EVERY little thing. This guy cared more about making a sale than anything else. I mean he was forcing these immensely low-paying, almost odd-jobs down my throat so bad, I simply couldn't say "no" to him without getting an earful of rude, snarky, and pressuring comments such as "I really don't understand what you mean,

I previously posted a review for ROCS but deleted it only because they literally called me about 15 minutes after I posted it and wanted to know why I posted a negative review, so I took it down because at the time, ROCS was the best shot I had at getting a job. I will not be deleting this post this time. I do not mean to be rude, but truly think it's important to share my experience and hopefully save others time from having to deal with the same kind of nonsense.

ROCS is an amazing staffing company. Robert helped me every step of the way and was friendly from the very first interview, which helped me feel comfortable moving forward with the company's recruitment process. I got hired by the first company I interviewed with and I'm so excited to start my new career in the nonprofit sector! I'll be doing exactly what I want to do and I couldn't have gotten here without the incredible ROCS team.

I found ROCS through a banner-ad on a resume creation website. I submitted my application and forgot about it; roughly a month later I received a call asking me to come in for an interview. I met with Kyle, who did a great job interviewing me on a technical and social level, and within less than a week from that initial interview I was called in for another interview at a DC company and offered to start working the next day.
I personally had a great experience with ROCS, I like all the people I met there and my hiring process was shockingly fast after they met me.

I worked with Rocs from May 2017-January 2018. Kathleen was my recruiter, and she put me in touch a great company, which I came to absolutely love. Rocs was great with setting standards for me before stepping into the interview process for the position I applied for. Kathleen even updated me in the early months with tons of feedback. I found out I was pregnant in June, and both companies were really great with working with me. The office I was at threw me a baby shower, and Rocs surprised me with a cake too!

Peggy is great. She worked to get to know me, my background, and what I'm looking for in a job. She placed me in a position incredibly fast and went above and beyond to advocate for me, streamline the process, and support me as far as my first few weeks.

I am editing my review because I don't want to be accused of giving a fake review.
I don't understand the good reviews and lack of bad ones, because I can't believe no one shares my experience. I was offered the chance to apply for a specific job after meeting with ROCS during an in-person interview, which followed a phone screening with a specific recruiter. I took time off of my hourly job for both of these, and traveled to their location with plenty of time to spare in anticipation of any traffic so I would not be subjected to their "1 minute rule" as it was stated

ROCS has been really great! I was nervous moving to a new state and finding a job right after college, with no real connections in the area. The process took awhile, but Kathleen was always asking for updates and keeping me in the loop. I could tell she was continuously working to finding me a good fitting job! I finally got a job working at a great company that I connected with right away.
Only downside would be I haven't really heard much from the company asking if I still like it at my current job, so I'm not quite sure what would happen if I didn't really like it.. But overall
