Harvey is awesome and he really went out of his way to assist myself and my daughter with temp work. He would always respond to my messages if I needed any assistance and advice. Since I was placed as a temp by him, I have been offered a contract by the company. I can highly recommend Harvey and his team. Thanks so much.
