"We have conducted business with ACT Personnel for nearly 15 years and have always found them to be very professional and accommodating to our needs. We focus on “Temp to Hire” and have been provided with highly-qualified temps through their well-developed screening process. ACT is always willing to go the extra mile in filling our staffing needs, even when an order is placed at 5:00 on a Friday evening for a Monday morning start! I would highly recommend their services as they are a valuable business partner with us."

"When I think of best-in-class training and human resources staffing and consulting, I think of ACT Personnel. Professional, creative, and solution-oriented, ACT Personnel delivers time and again. I would recommend all of their services to any organization--big or small."

"I have had the pleasure of working with Kerri Adams and her staff at ACT Personnel Service for the past six months. In mid-2009, Specs secured a year-long contract to perform outsourced services for a major US pharmaceutical company. Although we perform the work in Maryland, our main headquarters and all of our employment administration is located in Europe. ACT assumed full responsibility for staffing this long-term project. They worked with us initially, to properly define needs in order to identify ideal work candidates. They even devised a test for prospective employees to help ensure proper employee selection. ACT has been interactive and responsive when it comes to all employee issues; frequently touching base with us and with each employee to make sure our project is running smoothly. Our relationship with ACT has enabled us to concentrate on our core service without worrying about personnel issues. ACT Personnel Service has been an excellent partner with us in this important contract."

"I have known and worked with Yeny Kerrigan for over three years. Yeny has always had a strong commitment and dedication to ensure she finds me the best talent to fill my job openings. She has been able to identify and fill my job openings without delay. She also helped me find a job when other recruiters seemed to lack the drive and effort. Of all the recruiters whom I have worked with, I can say that Yeny has been one of the most responsive and highly-motivated recruiters. I am always happy to refer other HR professionals to Yeny, knowing that they will not be disappointed in her services."

"There are three times that we turned to ACT Personnel. Like most other companies we sometimes need extra help for special projects during a peak. We have also used ACT to fill a temporary position, allowing us to cover a short term need without increasing our permanent payroll. In addition, we may screen permanent employees by working them through ACT on a temporary basis. This gives us the opportunity to evaluate the prospect in our office before deciding whether to make them a part of our permanent staff."

"Recently our firm completed a concurrent effort on two critical proposals, one a recompete of an existing contract and the second, a particularly attractive and relevant new business opportunity. Further, one proposal had an oral briefing component, the requirement for which, far exceeded our previous, but extensive experience in proposal preparation. I am writing to thank your firm for your quick reaction responses to our immediate needs and the high quality and competency of the temporary assistance you provided.

As in the past, ACT Personnel Service has proven to be a reliable, trusted resource."

"Three years ago our small business hired a temp from ACT. At the time, we had no employees other than myself, and we were in an emergency situation requiring someone to set up a sales and leads tracking system quickly. ACT found the perfect bright and energetic young person to fill that need. She programmed the system and had it running within a few days, and made our company the hero.

Since that time, we've hired several people from ACT as permanent employees. As our company grew, ACT was not only our primary resource for employees, but also our primary resource for HR and staff development consulting. They helped develop our staff every step of the way, with positions in systems administration, marketing, customer service, accounting, and database management. Even though our best customer bought out our company last year, and we're now part of a much larger corporation of over 1,000, we still use ACT as our number one resource for temporary staffing.

I've used other temporary agencies over the years. But ACT is different. Their system for testing and interviewing puts them in a class of their own. The skill and experience of their staff not only exceeds what you might expect in fulfilling temporary needs, but can help you build your business.

When I have a friend who is job searching, whether for temporary or permanent, part-time or full-time, I always refer them to the staff at ACT because I know they will consider their aptitude, skills and personality, and find a good match."

"ACT Personnel Service, Inc. has filled a real need in Garrett County. Our organization has used ACT when we needed a temporary employee to help complete an urgent task. For many years we found it almost impossible to find a qualified individual to competently fill in for an employee on leave. This service is particularly helpful to Garrett County Community Action in meeting the need for temporary help. Not only did ACT work in a timely manner but they referred qualified and expert personnel."

"I want to thank you for the excellent service you have provided our hospital through the provision of temporary employees. Not only is the process painless and the cost reasonable, the quality of the staff provided has been excellent.

We have used ACT twice, once for an interim employee in our storeroom, and once for a clerk-typist to assist with a heavy workload. The worker provided to us for our storeroom was so good that the other employees begged us to hire him. Unfortunately, we had no regular position to offer him. The clerk-typist provided was so well qualified in her computer skills, poise and professionalism that we hired her into our Operating Room Coordinator position.

I feel Oakland is very lucky to have a business that provides the quality of service ACT Personnel Service offers. We fully intend to continue our great business relationship with ACT into the future."
