Artech is a volume-based sweatshop that engages in predatory recruiting. I have repeatedly requested to be placed on their Do Not Contact list, yet they continue to harass me with incessant calls, texts, and emails in violation of the TCPA. Beyond the harassment, they are known for 'resume hijacking'--altering candidate experience without consent. This is a highly unprofessional middle-vendor that adds zero value to the hiring process. If they call you, block them immediately and report them to the FTC. Do not grant them Right to Represent. Akaash and the manager are rude, harassing client for no reason. read more

I get calls, texts, and emails from Artech recruiters for short term, out-of-state jobs. Every time, I remind them what state I'm in, let alone what city, and that I'm not interested in relocating for a short-term position. Blocking their numbers, email addresses, and unsubscribing from their mailing list doesn't help. The recruiters will not update their database, and I'm unsure they even have the ability to. read more

I recently granted Artech the right to represent me for a contractor role at a large tech company, and I was stunned by the unprofessionalism and dishonesty of the Artech recruiters I worked with. I would strongly caution anyone who's been contacted by Artech to consider your options before granting them the right to represent you. Artech's practices are completely unprofessional at best and intentionally misleading at worst. An Artech recruiter contacted me through LinkedIn about the aforementioned contractor role at a large tech company, and another recruiter followed up via email, asking me to provide my updated resume and grant Artech the right to represent me for the job. A few days later I was scheduled for an interview with the hiring manager at the tech company, and I met virtually with a third Artech recruiter to prep for the interview. On the day of the interview, I noticed that the calendar event Artech sent to the tech hiring manager and myself had a new version of my resume attached that I'd never seen before. Not only had the resume been reformatted, but incorrect details about my experience had been added, and confusing/misleading changes were made to my work history. I didn't have time to inspect closely before going into the interview with the tech hiring manager, but the changes caused confusion almost immediately. For instance, while describing my experience as a professor, the hiring manager said, "You were a professor? Your resume doesn't list that experience." Artech had changed my job title to something nonsensical ("Assistant Program Manager, Content")--it seemed like AI gibberish based on keywords in the job description. Artech also added a claim to my resume that I had 5+ years of experience in a particular area, even though I only had 3 years of experience (as noted clearly by my dates of employment). After the interview, I emailed the Artech recruiters I'd been in contact with, attaching their dishonest revision of my resume and providing my edits in the margins. I noted 7 instances where they had either added a false claim or revised the resume in a way that was misleading or confusing. I spoke on the phone with the third Artech recruiter the next business day. She informed me that Artech does not edit candidate resumes to add false information about their experience. I replied that Artech does, in fact, do this very thing, because they did it to me. She said the second recruiter I had only interacted with via email claimed that he received my approval for the changes made to my resume, but he did not have written documentation via email of this exchange. I told her that this was completely untrue and that since I had never communicated with him in any way except via email, his lack of an email confirmation proved that he had never received my approval. She was surprised to learn we'd only communicated via email because apparently he was supposed to have done an initial screening interview with me before scheduling an interview with the tech hiring manager. That never happened. Needless to say, I was not moved to the next phase of the interview process by the tech hiring manager. I'm sure that it looked like I was being untruthful in my resume, which is extremely upsetting. I would absolutely never work with Artech in the future. read more

My experience with Artech was extremely negative. They acted as a middle vendor between me, another staffing firm, and Accenture. I had already passed the client interview, received approval, and was in the onboarding process. However, Artech deliberately chose not to present my profile to the client and even went so far as to recommend against hiring me. Their interference directly caused my opportunity to be cancelled.This is a clear example of why middle vendors like Artech add no real value.They are dishonest and self-serving. Instead of supporting the candidate and client, they put their own interests first, even at the cost of sabotaging someone elses career opportunity.Making decisions behind closed doors without transparency or accountability is unacceptable. Rather than facilitating the hiring process, they acted as an obstacle, creating problems where none existed. Artechs behavior was not just unprofessional but harmful. Candidates and clients should be very cautious when dealing with them. Based on my experience, I would strongly advise against trusting Artech as a staffing partner. read more

You are the worst company to try and work for and waste people time. You are not professional and have no consideration for people lives that are put on hold to apply for better employment, and then you fail to communicate! You need to be put out of business, and no high paying company should consider your staffing company! People! Don't apply for this company! They lead you on and fail to tell you that you are not fit for the job! read more

I was contacted by Shail about a Business Analyst/ Information Security position with U.S. Bank. I wish I could tell you more about the position and interaction. However, I could understand very little of the call. They ultimately hung up on me shortly before saying something about me not having adequate cybersecurity background on my resume. Why did you contact me, if you feel I'm not a good fit? read more

If I could give negative stars I would. I don't recommend Artech. I haven't experienced one single person that wasn't rude or pushy. If they need anything from you they will call you nonstop. To the point I felt harassed. Seriously it was ridiculous. However, ask them for W2 or anything like that and it will be days before you get a response ....IF they respond it is usually short and rude with no information provided. Do yourself a favor and keep looking for another temp agency. Very unprofessional! read more

They contacted me today and after less than 4 hours I needed to block them because of how much they had been calling. I got 8 calls even after I specifically asked them to use text messages, because I'm busy at work and I can't answer immediately. But they continued calling me interrupting in the middle of my work meetings forcing me to sign representation agreement. Feels completely disrespectful. read more

This is an actual W-2 on the books hourly legal legitimate place of business. They do backgrounds I9 and criminal history. They also work pretty fast for on boarding especially now!!

Unprofessional calling incessantly the morning of a candidates interview with a client is unacceptable and unprofessional. Sending a calendar invite for an interview in the middle of the night, when it is scheduled for the next morning, is unacceptable. If you are searching for candidates, do not cold call anyone. This behavior is not accepted by any industry. If you finally are able to coordinate an interview between a candidate and client, send the calendar invite during business hours so both are aware during appropriate hours. Sending it in the middle of the night while the audience is sleeping, is not acceptable. If you do send an introductory email to a possible candidate, ensure the staff calling candidates have the ability to speak loud enough to be heard, as well as the ability to be understood. We all know T.S. in Palo Alto (with only a dog image on profile and no name) is very uncomfortable seeing one or two people complain they had trouble understanding the caller due to their "accent", but T.S. needs to move out of their parents house and learn how to adult. If you want to reach an audience, ensure your staff is professional, and having someone who is unable to speak to your audience clearly and concisely, it is unprofessional and you fail to accomplish your goal. If T.S. disagrees with adopting professional, acceptable behavior in the work place (phone calling is their work place), they'd better stay in their parents house, because their parents failed to teach them successful, appropriate business etiquette. read more

I was spammed by them today SEVEN times in a row. They called, left me a message that was barely audible/ understandable. Then within minutes of that called from another NJ number, I picked up, asked them to take me off their list. I'm not interested. Then, within minutes of that another call, from another NJ number, different person, told them to stop calling nicely Then, within minutes of that another which I screamed into the phone STOP CALLING ME Then, within minutes of that, again! Surprise another call! And, so on. I kept blocking the NJ numbers they were calling from- and a new one would come up. Not only did they do this to me they also decided it would be great to also email me. Which I replied, please take me off of your list, do not call me, I am not interested. I never applied for any jobs with them- I haven't been unemployed. I also do not take contract work like "3 months" for horrible pay. And yes, in regards to the woman concerned about the indian accent comments. They all had indian accents so they are probably offshoring and get paid for harassing people. Because, that's what it was, pure harassment and nothing else. read more

These are bunch of human predators who would not pay you. I am 30 plus yrs of experience MBA and Engineering degree. They were poaching me a Job for $20/hr at Google with free transport and food. It is like exploring child labor. I believe they were keeping all the money as $20/hr does not even pay rent in Mountain view.

Data Analayst//San Jose, CA Perks of working at Accenture/ Google: * You would enjoy all benefits a contractor at Google does. * You can opt for a Google shuttle to commute - $1.5 for each ride you take within 40 to 45 miles radius of the office. * Free food! * Free Gym * There is a 1 step selection process - Google hangout video interview. * If you are offered this role, you will join within 2 weeks of the extension of an offer - Google on boards only on Mondays * Regular work hours - no night shifts.

Do NOT work for this company. It is a terrible company to work for. 1. They pay well under the going rate 2. They do not pay for any holidays 3. They do not pay sick pay unless it is covered by your state law. 4. They continuously spam you by both email and snail mail re benefits even after you have told them you don't want any 5. They lie about the length of your contract. Told me it was for 6 months. Then I found out it was for 4 months 6. They speak very bad English read more

Its obvious, you don't have a clue, Agencies such as CTS, Chipton, ACS are specialized in Aerospace recruiting. with details of rate, duration, inside information such as System environment, MRP/CAD information, they make it easy to make a intelligent decision, these recruiters follow up, and push for your contact. This agency is Mickey Mouse, so stop pretending and go to Disneyland read more

There are recruiting agencies that employ smart, resourceful, ethical people. But anybody who's dealt with technical recruiters will tell you that the industry is dominated by unprincipled morons. You have to wonder how they survive. And if the typical badly-run agency is a mystery, Artech is an absolute miracle. I first dealt with them 4 years ago, when they tried to recruit me for a contract tech writing gig. They were insisting that I drop everything and indicate my immediate availability (I think they always do that, whether the client wants them to or not); I wasn't about to leave the contract I was on without a couple weeks notice.. Bringing up a deal-breaker like that is usually enough to make the most inept recruiters go away, but not these bozos. Nor did it bother them that the job was in another state, which is almost always a deal-breaker for the client, not to mention the logistical difficulties for me. (Some clients will help you with that kind of thing, but I don't think it was on the table here.) It took them a while to give up on recruiting me for a job I never had a chance at. Even then, I heard from them at least once a week, always for jobs I had no hope of getting, And they'd waste my time with long questionnaires in really bad English, all asking stuff they could have easily found on my resume. I finally told them to stop calling me. Which they did. But they continued to email me. It took a few phone calls to bring that to an end. Hadn't heard from them in a while. But just now I got an email for an "urgent requirement" for a medical biller. A medical biller. Not only have I never done that job, I'm not at all sure what it is! That's beyond lame. You have to wonder why any sane hiring manager would even talk to them. And yet they've not only survived, they've even opened a west coast office. So much for the rationality of the marketplace! read more

THIS PLACE IS A SCAM OR, AT BEST, SHADY! The people who have given this organization a 5 star review are possibly in on the scam. I had been contacted by a few of their "recruiters" and I made the mistake of sending them my resume. None of the recruiters have called me in person and once I sent my resume they neither returned my calls, messages, or emails. PLEASE BE AWARE, companies like this are obtaining personal information. At some point they will have you fill out payroll forms or perform background checks. Those documents contain personal information such as social security and driver's license numbers. Resume's show current address and contact number. All the information a scammer needs to steel your identity. read more

Not twenty-four hours after I posted my review (7-14-2021) what happens? I got another unsolicited E-Mail from someone else at Artech for a job that I had not a single bit of experience in or have ever worked.

My advise to anyone & everyone that gets an E-Mail from this company is to block them. read more

As someone who was once a recruiter, this place needs to get better talent in order to FIND talent!!! Once they get your information they send you countless emails, for positions that may/may not exist. When you respond via email - no response! If you respond/try and reach out to someone via phone - no response! How is it that you have no time to either pick up the phone or extend a courtesy return call!?! The recruiters all seem to be running searches for random keywords, without actually LOOKING at the profiles of the people they're shuttling these "positions" off to..... While I am currently employed, I am in the market for a new position in my new location. These guys are doing nothing but wasting my time and energy that could be spent talking to / reading emails from REAL recruiters! read more

Even one star is too much for this breeding ground of low-life outsourced India headhunters, who don't have enough sense to read, let alone close an umbrella. They have been spamming me for years - and NOT ONCE someone demonstrated knowledge of my resume, or had the decensy to state upfront company, pay rate and terms. Telling them repeatedly to remove my information from their database did not help - I still get e-mails (immediately followed up by phone calls) from people who barely speak English. They are bottom-feeders, trying to push 2 or 3-month contracts with Microsoft to those desperate enough to work for minimum pay. Stay clear from them, set your e-mail spam filter to block Artech, and you will still never get rid of these roaches. read more

My inbox has 27 emails from these clowns. On 6/6/2011 they sent email number one. It was the shitty type of role one would expect from spam...something about a nigerian prince who needed some OO PHP5 code rocked out. By 6/9/2011 I was sick of their spam. I replied to one Amarpreet with " DONT F*CKING EMAIL ME I HAVE A JOB, R*T*RD. Apparently when I asked you very nicely to remove me from your list, there was some trouble with communication. Do I need to contact your manager in order for my request to be honored? " Needless to say, I am still on their list. Now I get even more irrelevant roles on a more frequent basis. Although I do take great pleasure in reporting them to can-spam as well as their ISP (abuse@nyi.net). Its ironic that a business which does techincal recruiting can screw up the concept of opt-in email so badly. read more

This is a scam. DO NOT send them any documents or personal information. They asked for a copy of my work authorization and wanted to get it ASAP :D I don't know why the government does not prosecute them. read more

I was hired thru Artech as a Seasonal Sales Specialist at Verizon. The Verizon experience has been great, however it's been over three weeks on the job and Artech has yet to send my credentials to log into their HR/Payment system, or my work system at Verizon, meaning I can't get paid, or train at work until that happens. Credentials were supposed to be sent within three days of my hire, but now nearly a month later, after dozens of calls and emails I keep getting "we're sorry Kevin, we're getting to the bottom of it asap." I've been promised "by the end of business" for over a week, and frankly I'm thinking of contacting a labor attorney. Maybe it'll turn out fine, but it's been almost, and likely will be more than a month until my first paycheck from Artech. If it ever comes. Starting to doubt, and getting very disillusioned. Although I get no response from my TMS about my actual issues, I get a company wide email blast daily about some ancillary hogwash from her. I wish I could give them a good rating because I had such high hopes getting back to work after Covid and a resulting disability. I hope I can amend this review to something more generous, but for now, I'd give Artech a failing grade. read more

These people are ridiculous! I'm constantly getting spammed for jobs I'm grossly over qualified for or are not related to my resume in the slightest. I've told them repeatedly to take my name out of their database with no luck. At one time they were calling me for a 6 month contract for a job I MIGHT have been interested in 15 years ago and dropped that it was a local big name company. When I said "No" the recruiters response was "What?!? Don't you want to work for X Company?" UGH!!! I highly suspect either of the positive reviews for this company are completely false. I even suspect they are not recruiters at all but likely covers for stealing identities or selling spam lists. read more

So, I've had a few people contact me about my review. Yes, my experience is real. Apparently people are really concerned about the 'Indian accent'. This is a little disturbing to me but whatever. They did get me a great job and I still occasionally receive calls from them when I post my resume online. I've been working as a contractor for a while. I'd rather deal with these guys then other companies that make you come in, test then NEVER call you for a job. Artech's process is painless and if an accent discourages you....it's your loss :) read more

I can echo many of the issues reported by others here. 1. Cursory grasp of the English language makes it very difficult to communicate with recruiters re the position. 2. I was contacted by a recruiter for a contract position while I was currently employed in another position. It was not uncommon for the recruiter(s) to spam me with 2-3 calls and texts in a 5 minute period. This was very aggravating as it was usually in the middle of the workday when I was on another call. 3. Prior to my first interview with the ARTech client, I was asked if I "was 100% (or close to 100%) committed to the position." I quickly responded that I could in no way provide that level of commitment prior to speaking with anyone at the company. Again, after a preliminary 30-minute interview, I was asked if I "was close to 100% committed." Once again, I responded that I could not commit at that level after just one 30 minute interview. As a result, ARTech removed me from consideration from the position. I thought this was very strange and reached out to the client/employer directly. They also thought it was crazy that that level of commitment was expected and reached out to ARTech to correct this. About 1 week later, the recruiter got back to me to let me know that they resubmitted me and I was moving on to the second round?!? The whole process would have fallen apart if I was not proactive. I called their office directly to speak to a manager about my issue (never received a call back). Overall, the recruiters were very unprofessional, and were a source of constant embarrassment with the client/potential employer. read more

They reuse old job descriptions that are no longer valid and they contact you even if you are not looking for a job. To make it sound more believable, they try to negotiate the rate with you. They use the names and identities of real people associated with the company. They will ask for your last 4 digits of your social security because they are compiling a list for purposes other than employment. read more

All the negative reviews you read so far are true. Artech is a Dishonest, Manipulative organization that you would only find in the 3rd World countries. All policies and conduct lead to how to take more $$ out of you by investing less effort. I worked with them on 2 separate contracts for Google as a web developer and I would never work with Artech again. The representatives never respond on time. It would take days, sometimes weeks to hear back. Always had to ask again and constantly manage them. If you get responses they come from different people within the organization. Communication is never centralized. The HR resources are all over the web. I had many technical issues with their tools that sometimes took months to be fixed. There are many paper-based manual processes very prone to human errors, which happened and will happen. The company doesn't care about you. Artech only cares about their clients (Google in this case), not you. They will not stand up for you no matter what, and instead they would use their very rude HR staff to blame and abuse you by feeding you the regular b.s. . They don't take criticism well. They are always right, even when they make $$ on you. Its a one way street. Stay away from Artech. read more

I get 2-3 emails from these guys a day regarding available positions. When responding I promptly get a phone call detailing the job. In that phone call they ask for my date of birth or my social security number to verify to clearance in order to secure a in person interview with the client. I asked why do you need this information in order to interview I was informed that the client (Verizon, Volkswagen, etc.) needed this information in order for them to submit my resume. I was also asked questions like the name of schools attended. I told him that if they had my resume all the information regarding education was on my resume. Needless to say, I've never received a response or follow up. I do receive a new email from another person within two days in another position. It's my opinion these people are trying to compile information to compile a complete identity for something other than employment. They are taking advantage of people desperately seeking employment. read more

Just try to contact them through support number, which I did. You would never find the real person. If you need real person switch to companies directory and try any numbers there.

I'm waiting 2 days already. I guess this is the company approach. Unfortunately yelp does not support negative numbers I would mark them -5 read more
