I would work with TMP again. I think the level of professionalism and communication from The Mom Project staff was great. All questions I had were answered completely and thoroughly. When posting the position, I was very overwhelmed with the response (100+ applicants in just a couple of days). I wish there was a way for The Mom Project to help filter some of those applicants out for me. As a small business, sifting through all of those apps was quite time consuming.

My first mentor was a bust which was… My first mentor was a bust which was really sad because, on our initial call, I was very excited to work with her. Nonetheless, my current mentor has been absolutely phenomenal. I feel like I have a plan and a direction.

Too difficult to read resumes The formatting of the resumes was so awful I couldn’t read half of them. Their software would cause huge misspellings (like accounting and bookkeeper) and the formatting would place columns on top of each other making the resume not legible. When I asked about it I was told it was a known issue and I could email my rep and ask for a better copy each time. I passed on many great looking candidates because I’m not taking the extra time for that. I did not feel like TMP was concerned about how they were presenting their talent to employers or that it was something they were urgently trying to fix. It was very unprofessional and I will not be using TMP for additional job searches.

Things are only good when you have an active contract I completed two assignments and things had been going great, but when I got the 3rd contract and the company ran out of money after only 5 weeks, no one would help me from the redeployment team. I want to get back to work, but the jobs being posted on the site are less and less by the week. I’ve started to look more on Indeed and ZipRecruiter because I want to get back to a contract sooner than later. I’d love to get another contract via TMP, I think it’s an outstanding organization but it’s not working for me right now.

Appreciate ease of the platform from… Appreciate ease of the platform from posting to interviewing to hiring. One suggestion is to make the system allow multiple people to zoom in for interviews. We had to set up our own zoom so 4 of us could join for the interviews.
