“I have worked with a number of temporary agencies in a variety of cities. Usually temping is just a way to make money, but Whitman Associates really tries to help people find assignments in or related to their field, turning temping into a great way to network. Additionally, my interactions with Julie, and the other staff members, have always been very positive. I really feel that they have my best interest at heart and are committed to helping me further my career.” Heidi Cooper, Temporary Employee
“I wanted to extend my thanks to the staff at Whitman Associates. I really appreciate all the jobs you’ve assigned me over the last two years. Your understanding of my theatre schedule and the effort made to place me closer to home was not unnoticed. The longer assignments helped me test my hand at different companies, and the shorter assignments filled in the gaps nicely. I was honored to be the Temp of the Month in December. That recognition really drove home that I could take on a full time position. As I become full time, I recognize I would not be here without your help. I look forward to suggesting Whitman Associates to friends and colleagues in the future. Thank you again.” Sarah Kamins, Former Temporary Employee
“When I first moved to the Washington area, I interviewed with several agencies. Whitman Associates stood out head and shoulders above them all. Linda provided me with excellent guidance and was an extraordinary advocate. Within a week of signing up with Whitman, I’d found the exact kind of position I was hoping for! Not only did Whitman Associates help me acquire my first job in DC, but three years later they were also there for me in my first Office Manager position when I needed to hire a skilled professional to fill a temporary job opening with our company. The employee they provided worked out so well that we created a position and kept him on full time! Having worked with Whitman Associates from both sides, I can honestly say that they provide exceptional service to both the employee and employer. I value my relationship with Whitman Associates and highly recommend them to my colleagues and friends.”
Kiersten King Blazosky, Executive Assistant to the CEO and Office Manager
“The caliber of staff at Whitman is always stellar. I received several calls from staff today complimenting your temp’s professional handling of both directing calls and guests. It has been a joy having her with us. Many thanks for sending her to us.”
Veronika Arrington, Office Manager
“Thank you so much for the opportunities you’ve given me! I can honestly say that you’ve changed my life! You are all incredibly kind, and I knew I was in the right hands the first day I stepped into the office. I’m so grateful!”
Joie Sherman, Office Manager
“Thank you so much for all of your help. I felt like I was getting a call from Whitman at least twice a week about new opportunities and/or checking in with me. You all kept searching and contacting me with new positions and I am tremendously appreciative of your efforts and my current full time position! Whitman did for me in a matter of weeks what I’d been trying to do for a month and a half. I couldn’t be happier with my placement and am truly grateful for how hard you all work to help your temps find positions. Thank you again. Kelley Brown, Former Temporary Employee
“While working for Whitman, it felt like they were working for me as much as I was working for them. The exposure to a variety of office settings taught me a variety of lessons I have taken to my current job and will continue to use in the future.”
Brackett Smith, Temporary Employee
“My experience with Whitman Associates has been a very positive one. I felt a good relationship was built because it developed not only on a professional level, but on a personal one as well – a balance that is not found in many agencies. I felt as though my work goals were really listened to and were linked to the temporary positions that were found for me as closely as possible. Whitman Associates was always easily accessible and responded to any questions or concerns I had promptly. There is no doubt that I would recommend Whitman Associates to anyone in the DC area hoping to find temporary work.”
Maura Bulger, Temporary Employee
“I began using the services of Whitman Associates in the early 1980s. It is a business relationship that has served my employers well. Whitman interviews thoroughly to understand my needs, and refers only high quality staff and temporaries. Whitman has placed executive support staff, customer call center representatives, association member support staff, and IT technicians. Over time, Whitman’s staff comes to know the characteristics of a great hire for your employer. All of these things mean a quicker time-to-hire for me, and that makes for a happy HR department and an even happier hiring manager.”
Betsy Davis, SPHR, Staff Director, Human Resources
“I really appreciated all of the support and kindness Whitman gave me over the past couple of months. Working with Whitman really helped me get established in DC. Thank you for the excellent service and patience! I will be sure to recommend Whitman to anyone I know!”
Kim Lyon, Temporary Employee
“We have worked with Whitman Associates over the past 6 years for temporary services and have found their temps very professional and well-trained. We have also used Whitman Associates to secure permanent placement services for support staff and have been very happy with the experience of the candidates that were interviewed and the staff we have hired.”
Louise A. Kamali, Director, Meetings & Office Services
“The Whitman Associates’ staff is a team of true professionals. I had the pleasure to work with Linda several years ago on an Executive Assistant search for a highly visible non-profit organization and was impressed not only by the quality of the candidates she presented to me, but also her exceptional service and responsiveness to her client’s needs. When I was recently faced with the challenge of finding an Executive Assistant for a new organization, Whitman was the first and only agency I contacted. Their highly competent and friendly staff helped me fill this position within 3 weeks!”
Kerryn Kent, Director, Human Resources and Administrative Services
“It has been a really great experience working with your firm. Whitman is very thoughtful and thorough in their job placements. You worked with me so effortlessly it appeared as if you just ‘magically’ found the right position for me, and so quickly too! You and your staff are incredible. You all made me feel very special. I love the positive atmosphere of your office. You ladies are awesome! Thank you so very much.”
Laurel Ihator, Executive Assistant
“My experience with Whitman Associates has been a very fulfilling one since joining them in January 2008. Their staff is top shelf and totally professional. They are the best in the Washington Metropolitan Area. They believed in me when others didn’t. I trust them implicitly with their judgment in placing me at some of the best places in the area to work. Whitman is the BEST of the BEST!!!…better than any of those agencies that claim to be the best. I know first hand how great Whitman Associates is and what they can do. They have worked diligently and steadily in keeping me working, and for that I’m eternally grateful to them for taking a chance on me the way that they did. So join the Whitman team! It will be one of the best experiences you will ever have.”
Michelle Hinnant Spencer, Administrative Assistant
“You hired me when I couldn’t pay to get a job, and for that I will forever be grateful. You are all wonderful.”
Anthony Anderson, Administrative Assistant
“In the first quarter of 2005, my career entered a period of serious renovation. Seeking the guidance and placement of the Whitman Associates, Inc. team was truly the best decision I could have made. My first (and forever) impression of the team was that of being welcomed into a family. Unlike other companies, I never felt like a random number in an agency. My name was known and I enjoyed the warm greetings when entering their location. My skills, passions and goals were all carefully analyzed before being placed. I found tremendous comfort in being able to have a say in my job placements. Their insight and accessibility to reputable employers afforded me a very prosperous career in the Facility Management profession at a phenomenal company. After three years of being in my newly renovated career, I still contact my family at Whitman Associates, Inc. for advice and good cheer. My friends, Whitman Associates, Inc. will forever be the cornerstone of my career.”
