What is EXTRAordinary?
Career paths and how we measure success is uniquely personal.
EXTRAordinary is a blog that we utilize to highlight our candidates and employees that go beyond what is ordinary to achieve success in their lives. Their professional and personal journeys are as unique as they are and we honor and applaud them for reaching for their stars and following their own personal dreams. Successful journeys have a few common denominators: Passion, Diligence, Courage, Perseverance, and Initiative.
Enjoy our stories of some very amazing, EXTRAordinary people.

Testimonials
Thus far, Silverman McGovern has been top notch! I’ve been very pleased by their Placement opportunities, their awesome Team that guides you through every process, and their on time payroll processing! I’ve been assigned to various Temporary roles, and thankfully Silverman McGovern seems to have the best roles available! They never hounded me like all of these other Staffing & Recruiting agencies either. Kudos to them!

I have worked for approximately 4 other staffing agencies and I will say that from the first time I walked through the doors at Silverman McGovern I knew something was different. This is an incredibly friendly and professional group.

I honestly just started working with Silverman McGovern a few weeks ago and I was just hired for a great temp position at the specific company that I wanted to work for. I have interacted with four people on their team and each person actually took the time to get a sense of who I was as a PERSON and what I wanted to do – and then they each did everything that they could to help me actualize it. I walked in simply looking for a chance, an opportunity, to prove that I was more than what my resume said on paper. I wanted a chance to stop being defined by circumstances (and bills!) and to start working on MY path at a great company. Silverman not only facilitated that, but actually CARED about what that meant to me. They put me in position to deliver and also went above and beyond to make sure that I was prepared and equipped to do so. They are everything that they say they are and I am very much looking forward to what we can accomplish from here.

Worked with them for about a year.. have to say the experience was great. Open communication, paid on time, if there was an issue with my time card or paperwork, etc.. AJ (My Agent) or Alona would reach out to me and communicate what was needed. They are all very personable, with real lives and families of there own so over time.. I just came to know them as friendly co-workers.. No just some cold staffing agency located in cyber space. My temp position has lead to a full-time company job.. and I 100% can look back and say I recommend Silverman McGovern!

Silverman McGovern is awesome! I just moved to the area and after interviewing with AJ and Faye they got me a temp to perm position with Hasbro Toy. In just 5 weeks I was offered a permanent position with my dream job and company! Silverman McGovern Staffing is one of the most professional and trustworthy agencies I’ve ever worked with. You are in good hands with Silverman McGovern Staffing!

Faye was crucial in helping me find a job that not only paid well, but was flexible with the time I needed off for tours. I’m not sure where I would be today if it weren’t for her! I applied for a job on Craigslist that was a post from Silverman McGovern. When I came in for my interview, I met with Faye, and we instantly connected. She was a huge help in finding me a job, and was always very supportive of me in all of my endeavors.
