Gabby W.
Job Seeker
"I have been using Professional Alternatives for over 10 years and they have never let me down. My recent experience was with one...
of their recruiters from the Lending Services team. He was extremely professional and returned all my phone calls and called me anytime he received an update from the employer I interviewed with. I landed the job and Francisco's professionalism and caring attitude didn't stop. He called to check up on me a few weeks after I started and again 3 months into the job. This has been by far THE BEST recruiting agency I've ever worked with. They truly care about you as an individual. The whole staff at Professional Alternatives are outstanding. I would highly recommend using them."
Kathryn L.

Jay U.
Job Seeker
"I was referred to Professional Alternatives by a friend and colleague in 2013 and I have been sent on two different assignments by ProAlt...
since then. I have to say that they are hands down the best agency I have had the pleasure of working with. The recruiters were unlike any recruiter I have ever known or worked with. They were patient, understanding and kind. Excellent in keeping the lines of communication open. I simply consider them family and look forward to working with them for many years to come."
Ada O.
Job Seeker
"I was referred to Pro Alt November of 2016. I spoke with the CEO over the phone and later went in and met with the lead FSG recruiter and...
he was truly professional; he asked and listened to what I was looking for and took notes too. He responded promptly to my follow up emails and I got placed in a great company in January 2017. My biggest surprise was he called the day before the interview and 'prepped' me for about an hour asking questions and giving feedback on my responses. And again after the interview he called and asked how it went. I have not had a recruiter be that thorough. After I got the job he followed up to ask if I was setting in smoothly. It was a pleasant experience from start till the end and if I needed the services of a job agency in the future I would certainly reach out to Roger and the team again."
Cheryl H.
Job Seeker
"I have worked for this company before and was very happy with my positions and the care that I received. So, I received a call from one of the...
recruiters just 2 days after I lost my job! I was so excited. This job was close to home the company was Rock solid, and the pay was almost the same as my last job! She submitted for the position and I started Monday. Truly a blessing. The job is everything and more I couldn't be happier, well when they make me permanent! Thank Professional Alternatives!"

Professional Alternatives came highly recommended by a friend of mine who did temporary work for them several years back. I had been looking to secure a full time administrative position for quite some time and decided to contact them. I was promptly brought in for an interview, both recruiters were very professional and willing to assist in furthering my career. Within a short amount of time following the interview, they placed me with a reputable company in a temp-to-hire position, where I am now a full time permanent employee. They were careful to make sure it was the right fit for the company and for me. They both continued to follow up with my manager and I have been a solid support system. I have also recommended some of my friends to this agency. Pro-Alt is the best recruiting agency I've done business with and I would recommend anyone who is serious about improving their career to contact the company. They definitely go above and beyond to satisfy both the clients and their recruits."

understanding of my goals was their focus. After a few months, I was placed in a great company. I am so thankful for the Professional Alternatives team for taking their time to do phone interviews as well as prep me before my interviews, send me as much detail as possible, give me important information, and help me do a post interview letter every time. They checked in before and after my interviews, as well walked me through the process of what to expect next. I recommend the PSG team to anyone who needs help getting a job and is willing to put in the work they require to make it happen."
Victoria M.
Job Seeker
"Professional Alternatives is an absolutely wonderful staffing agency who really cares about the staff they work with and the companies...
they assist. Their goal is to work with you to place you in the best company that is compatible with your wants/needs to ensure a permanent placement. The PSG Team placed me in a wonderful company that I had the pleasure of working for 4 1/2 years. I always knew if ever had to look for another job, they would be the first agency I would call. My time had come to an end with my company and sure enough I reached out to Christine Norris immediately to help find the best placement for me. My recruiter was on top of it and within 24 hours we had already discussed a couple of options and meet in person to go over my resume. The team is very knowledgeable about the industry and really gives you honest advice and feedback. Not only are they very professional, but also very charismatic, charming, and had great energy. ProAlt is definitely the staffing agency you want on your side. I simply cannot say enough wonderful great things about Professional Alternatives. They're a great team to work with!"
Kelsey S.
Job Seeker
"I moved to Houston a few months ago and had to start the search for a job. PA contacted me about a month or so after being here and had me...
come in for an interview about a possible job placement. I did not get the initial job I went in for. The team was very nice and seemed eager to place me in a position once they found one that would work well for me. They were open and honest and told me that I should still apply for jobs on my own and use other agencies to better help myself find a job. I decided to temp for them in the meantime to make some money and pass time. I did temp work at a couple of different places that were all very nice. My recruiter kept in contact with me weekly about both temp and permanent positions available. After about 2 months I was placed in a permanent position with a wonderful company that is a great fit for me and vice versa. My recruiter called to check in even after getting the position. I really enjoyed my time working with PA. Everyone was very professional and realistic of what was happening and could happen. I would definitely give them a try."
Taylor L.
Job Seeker
"Let me start by saying I was a recent college graduate facing what most recent college graduates face...small job market. After visiting ...
several temp agencies, the PSG team from Pro Alt was able to find me my perfect career! Now any time I see my fellow Tech alumni friends looking for a career I send them to her!"
Bijon W.
Job Seeker
"Since interviewing and working with Professional Alternatives, I have been 10x's more effective in finding great employment opportunities as opposed...
to me job hunting by myself our with other agencies. The staff is always professional, courteous, reply promptly to each email, updates, and/or questions, and take their time matching suitable candidates with employers who are seeking help. Professional Alternatives has personally assisted me in getting in touch with some great company whose job openings matched my qualifications precisely. My recruiter has a unique ability to get results and provide outstanding service to those she interviews from my experience. I would highly recommend this service to anyone who wants success in finding the ideal employment opportunity in today's market."
