Still waiting to hear back from them. Its been three weeks. They contact you after seeing your profile on linked In and seek. Recommend you for a job. Contact you twice after that with updates and then you never hear from them. When they do contact you they never leave a message. Very unprofessional and I wouldnt recommend them to anyone.

I would like to leave a very positive review for Optimum Consulting Group and especially for Isaac Dufficy, as since the first time we talked, he was extremely professional and friendly. I received great support and advices from him and really could notice his efforts to match my skills with available opportunities. I do believe that, if all of the other recruitment agents that work for OCG are like him, it is a great recruitment agency to assist anyone with new job/career opportunities. Keep up the fantastic work!

Met and had an interview with consultant for a job. All went well and she even said there was another company that I might be interested in and would send me the details. She never called back. I followed up and she promised to get back to me 'tomorrow' or 'next Monday', but she never got back to me. If you're looking for a consulting group, I wouldn't bother with Optimum Consulting Group. In my experience, they are unreliable and untrustworthy.

I have had nothing but a positive and very professional experience with Optimum Consulting. I have been with many other recruitment agencies and by far, Alicia Sumich has made me feel like a valued member of Optimum Consulting, from my first interview until now, 7 months on. We even got a Christmas present! I have recommended many friends and family to use Optimum and they too, have all had positive results using Optimum Consulting.
