“Robbins Staffing is the best Staffing agency in the area. When I needed a job, they were recommended to me, and I have used them ever since I have used Robbins Staffing as both a Candidate and a Client. They found the right fit for me personally and when I needed to hire, they always found great Candidates that fit exactly what we were looking for. The staff is just fantastic.”

Karen Albert, Candidate/Employee and former Client

“I’ve worked with Robbins Staffing for years. They provide the BEST candidates for employers. Their candidates have the experience, pre-employment screening complete, they’re literally ready to hit the floor running. What I love most about working with Robbins Staffing is they don’t send you anyone, to please you. If they do not have a candidate, Holly will tell you upfront. When the right candidate comes in, she sends them your way. Holly is extremely professional and ALWAYS, ALWAYS goes out of her way. Overall this is one of the best Staffing Offices in Charlottesville. I wouldn’t work with anyone else.”

Janet J., Human Resources Manager

“It is a pleasure working with the Robbins Team. They understand our staffing needs and are committed to finding the right match for us.”

Mangham Associates

“We reached out to Robbins Staffing to hire an AP Accountant. We had tried to recruit on our own unsuccessfully so we decided to go with the experts. They took the time to listen to our requirements and “nice to have” skills and they found the perfect candidate. Instead of sending us a lot of resumes to review, they said they had a great person in mind and sent us her information. She has been with us for 6 weeks now and it has been a perfect fit. They have a database of people to select from who aren’t necessarily actively looking for positions but would be open to hearing about opportunities. They saved us a tremendous amount of time in the hiring process as well as time invested in training someone who may not be a good fit. I highly recommend them and will definitely use them for future hiring needs.”
