I've used CSS Staffing several times here in Philly. They're a pretty good organization, and employer pays the costs. My experiance has been good w/ them as they try to match you up with what you want to do, not really throw your resume at jobs to fill quota's. www.cssstaffing.com if you're interested. Nancy is my contact there. >>-----Original Message----- >>From: plug-admin@lists.phillylinux.org >>[mailto:plug-admin@lists.phillylinux.org]On Behalf Of Charles Stack >>Sent: Monday, December 02, 2002 7:44 AM >>To: plug@lists.phillylinux.org >>Subject: RE: [PLUG] Clueful Philly recruitment consultants? >> >> >>I tend not to use any recruiter that puts it to *YOU* if you >>don't stay a >>minimum specified time period.
