Connecticut’s Top Rated Local® Employment Agencies Award Winner: The WorkPlace

Top Rated Local® is pleased to announce that The WorkPlace is a 2019 award winner for employment agencies in Connecticut!

For all of your employment and staffing needs in Bridgeport, The WorkPlace is the employment agency to turn to.

The WorkPlace has received dozens of reviews with an average rating of 4.79 stars, earning them a tremendous Rating Score™ of 91.92 and a 2019 Top Rated Local award for ranking among the top five employment agencies in all of Connecticut!

Here’s just one of their many five-star reviews:

“It was a Godsend. The day I was invited to participate in the P2E program was the same day that I had the rug pulled out from under me with a job opportunity. From there, it was nothing but positive, and they helped me secure the job I have now! Thank you, still five years later. Since then, I have been invited to represent them in their efforts to expand their visibility, which I thought was an honor.” – David W.

Not Your Average Employment Agency

We wanted to learn all about The WorkPlace and its impressive online reputation, so we took a few minutes to talk with the Vice President of Communication and Development, Tom Long.

The first question we had for Tom was what is it that sets The WorkPlace apart from their competition in Connecticut. Here’s Tom’s response:

“The economic recovery is not supporting all of the population. People over the age of 50 are finding it hard to get back to work. We help the mature workforce stay engaged and relevant to employers.”

Tom went on to tell us that The WorkPlace was created by an act of congress, and that there are five locations in the state of Connecticut.

We also wanted to know what their mission is at The WorkPlace and how they work to make the world a better place. Here’s what Tom had to say:

“We are here to help the people who are unemployed get back to work…”

Building Success Through Social Media and Their Website

When we asked Tom about The WorkPlace’s secret to a strong online reputation, he told us that they don’t solicit reviews.

Outside of building a powerful online reputation, The WorkPlace has gotten their name out there by cultivating social media and regularly posting content on their website.

There are so many business owners out there looking to build the kind of online reputation The WorkPlace has. Here’s Tom’s expert advice for them:

“It is about the partnership, always looking at the capacity and taking the risk to try new things.”


Congratulations to the team at The WorkPlace for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Tom, for taking the time to speak with us!

We highly recommend The WorkPlace in Bridgeport. Visit their website today!
