    I am an administrative professional who have used many recruiting firms for many years in finding…read moreemployment. After my recent experience with Volt Services (Santa Clara/Newark office) I will NEVER use them again, nor refer others to them. - The recruiter I was connected with seemed quite wonderful in the beginning and placed me on a position that she said was a temp-to-hire for a 3 year project. I was glad to be working after 2 years unemployment. Once on the job, however, I found the atmosphere was not what I had imagined: I was isolated in an 8x10 box with no co-workers except a Project Manager & Engineer. They didn't interact with me except to give me commands. I contacted my recruiter to tell her I didn't think I was a good fit and asked if she could please look for another position for me. She gave me what would be her pad-answer for the next 7 months..."Just do your best." So, I plugged away and did the job well. In fact, on my 3 month review, my boss who gave me a raving review informed me that their company never hires on admins permanently, and that this job would ONLY be a 3 year contract...meaning no PTO, no vacation, no benefits! I contacted my recruiter again and informed her. She said she had no other positions to put me into, so to..."just do my best." During this time, I was given tasks to do & projects to complete which involved interacting with other departments. When doing so, other departments were upset at my requests (which were part of my job), so my boss blamed me and said I was "pissing people off." He therefore told me I could not email and had to send everything thru him. He kept putting limitations on what I could & couldn't do within the scope of my work, changed my hours and then started verbally abusing me! - I contacted my recruiter who once again said, "Do your best." OMG...are you kidding??? - It wasn't my BEST that was the problem. After doing research, I found out that there had been 4 other people in this same position...ALL thru Volt Santa Clara/Newark, who all left because of the situation in that office. When I informed my recruiter that I had contacted a prior admin and she told me about the problems she had w/the company, my recruiter (& the area manager) were angry at me for contacting her! (I was trying to find out how to make things work since I had nowhere else to go, and Volt was non-supportive to say the least.) I finally had to go all the way up to their corporate-office in L.A. to talk to someone about a possible verbal-harassment charge I was considering against my boss. My recruiter & area manager did not support me or help me move to a different position. They kept siding with the employer and told me I had to be different! I only stayed until the company finally decided to end my assignment (the day before Thanksgiving)! When the recruiting manager walked me out, I told her that being as how they had put 5 people into this role within the period of 2 years, they may want to reconsider before putting someone out there again, and do exit interviews if they see things like this coming up on other assignments. She informed me that the company decided to not hire any more temps for this assignment and were placing an admin to that office from within. In short, I feel Volt Services does not support the candidate, when push comes to shove. The recruiter was in my opinion was quite unprofessional (actually in several ways, even from the beginning of my 8 month assignment) and seemingly unqualified to handle the types of developments and issues that transpired from working for a volatile boss. To me it was clear that Volt cares more for the wellbeing of the client & treated candidates (such as myself & quite possibly my 4 predecessors) as though we were dispensable. I have worked for Volt in the past, and never had anything like this transpire. I will never work for them again. There are many other agencies that offer employment services, so all this being said, please do yourself a favor & stand clear of Volt. Some recruiters & managers may be OK, but you never know what you're going to get until it's possibly too late.

    This was the rudest staffing agency I have ever talked to in my life. I filled out an application…read moreyesterday at 2pm and they called me at 4pm today asking me to come in and take a drug test and do all paperwork at 5pm. Also I have to get my birth certificate and marriage certificate from my mom's house to cause she keeps our birth certificates in a scrap book. Also I have my 5 year old daughter with me eating at my house so I have to either take her with me or leave her at my mom's if she is well enough to watch her. So in the mist of having to get my paperwork together and see if my daughter can stay at my mom's cause my air in my car doesnt work and I'm driving from harvest, al to Decatur, al at 4pm which is about a 45 min drive and it's hot, we'll I got the woman calling me over and over to see if I'm really on my way or if I'm lying and to see what I'm passing what road I'm on and if I'm really coming. I tell her I'm on my way and she keeps questioning me like I'm lying or she's my mom I'm not to sure at this point but, she is making me mad by intending that I'm a liar and I'm trying to be professional and be nice because I really need this job but she is pressing me so hard it's ridiculous. Now I'm on my way on 565 headed toward Decatur about to pass Mooresville Rd overpass and my mother calls saying my daughter fell off the tramopline and is screaming for me and saying her leg hurts to bad to move. So I instantly turn around at the next turn round on the High way and head back to mom's and call the woman to let her know what was going on its like 420pm now, so I let her know I can't make it and if I can come Monday and she sighs and says no the job starts tomorrow and they don't work weekends which makes no sense and is a lie cause she said if I came today I would start Monday at 7 am so I called her out and told her she told me it started Monday and she said oh I meant it starts Mondays but we don't work weekends so whatever then I lose the call and can't call her back for a couple mins and I guess she thought I hung up on her on purpose. When I call.her back she says I can come Monday and do everything for the job and if the other person doesn't work out I can go take the job instead which is good but then she starts questioning me again after everything's said and done she's qestioning me about what happened was I ever on my way and being rude and pushy and in my personal business after I said I'd be there Monday. Then she says it's my fault that u didn't make it and I was gonna be late in the first place that I should of already been there like she expected me to just run out of my house grab my 5 year old daughter and rush to decatur. And just keeps on questioning me about my personal life and basically calling me a liar. It was the rudest thing I've ever heard from someone that she needed to fill a job and I really needed it but family comes first and stuff does happen out of the blue sometimes. So I tell her nevermind I don't want the job anymore I feel like I'm being called a liar and being harassed by someone that suppose to be helping me get a job for my family but she is too busy being so rude to me. So I told her goodbye then called back asked the front desk women to speak to the manager and she hangs up on me i want to say it was her talking to me the whole time Laura or something like that it was just awful and very disrespectful. That's all if you want to deal with this people that's on you not very helpful and very rude. Plus she had from 8am today to call me while my daughter was in school to come up there but was probably to lazy to do anything and waited till last min and blamed me for not being able to rush and speed race 45 mins to Decatur and that's a big negative it was her fault all the way around.
