This has been my first experience working with The Calendar Group but I will definitely keep them in mind in the future, down the road, when I look for my next role. If anyone is wondering, I would definitely recommend this company, and I can 100% recommend working with Jennifer in particular.
The Calendar Group has been around for quite some time and with all the new agencies popping up I can see where it might get over looked which is a huge mistake! They have the experience needed to match talent based on the candidates whole person not just the resume. Def worth exploring their job board and reaching out even if it’s not quite what you are looking for, like me you might get pleasantly surprised.
As the job has limited hours, I reached out once more to Flavia and the Calendar group once more to help fill those lost hrs, and they were great again in finding me another amazing family I’m happy with. I would highly recommend them if you are looking for a position or for someone to fill a position. Ms. Vitra
