I'm extremely disappointed with my experience with Robert Half. The lack of communication is…read morehonestly unacceptable. I've had recruiters call me, I return the call--no response. I've replied to texts--nothing. Or I finally get a response days later, if at all. What's most frustrating is the complete lack of follow-through. I've applied to several positions and it feels like my applications just disappear into a void with no acknowledgment or feedback whatsoever. Job searching is already stressful enough without being ignored by the very people who are supposed to help. I expected professionalism and basic communication, and unfortunately, that was not my experience.

The worst staffing firm I have encountered in my career as a recruiter…read more The place I was work as a Recruiter, temporary assignment was a toxic environment. Furthermore I received pushback when I requested reasonable accomodation and the desk I sat at was not ergonomic and I have injuries to my spine and other parts of my body due to accident. I requested to change my hours to accommodate pain as the day progress. I sent them an email with a Xray of my spine. I was hit by a car crossing the street and have gone through multiple surgeries. I recieved an email from President of company I was working at through Robert Half as a Temp! I have the email in my possession and I was shocked to say the least! It stated "Dont hire no more blacks, they don't know how to show up" The same information was verbalized to my face the next morning to which I replied this is racism. The owner/president of the company said "yeah but these guys get a girl knocked up at 19 years old and don't show up for work, don't hire anymore blacks. I was terminated a week later I got a call from Valetta stating my temp assignment had ended. I shared about the email I received and the racist statements from their client. They did not seem to be concerned and I had no folllow up and they did not ask to see the racist comments!

I have been utilizing staffing agencies for a few years. I've been working with multiple agencies…read moreat the same time, about 7-10. I follow up weekly and I practice my pitch when speaking to the recruiters. OfficeTeam didn't have anything for me for some time but I kept reaching out and stayed on their radar. That's how I got placed. I worked with Stephanie Jackson then Chris Schulze then Matt Wojnar and finally, I matched one of their client's HR roles. I think it's important to speak to as many people as possible so they can get to know you. It worked for me and can work for you too. Matt was very good at selling my skills to the client and coaching me on the role's needs and expectations. I'm very pleased with his and the team's communication and follow up. They did move very fast which I appreciated seeing I've been out of work for about a month. I recommend them and hope you have the same good experience I had.

I came across a role on LinkedIn where I connected with Tiana. Can I say she was the best recruiter I worked with by a mile. When we started working together I was truly impressed on how professional and transparent she is and also vocal that she would give her best effort in finding my next opportunity. To tell you the truth I wasn't a fan of Robert half bc of past experiences but Tiana and Erin (another employee of Robert half)definitely made me believe they are the best agency to find you a role where you can trust it is genuinely In your best interest. Thank you soo much Tiana.

Absolutely awful. I was contacted by Office Team about a job opening. There was a message left on…read moremy voicemail. I call back and get the rep's voicemail. I didn't hear anything for a week. I then received a call from another rep asking if I could come down for an interview. The interview was easy and we basically talked about what I was looking for in a career, hours, pay, etc. I even filled out all the forms for W2 and more. They wanted me to even hand a voided check for direct deposit (Thank God I didn't). For all intensive purposes, I was now an employee of their company. So I was told in 2-3 weeks, I would be placed with one of their clients and "it was pretty much guaranteed" that I would find something. I left the office feeling good that an opportunity would come my way. Two weeks go by and nothing. Three weeks go by and still nothing. I emailed my contact rep and no response. I've call and I only get his voicemail and no call back. I was even told during the interview that if I found a position on their website to give them a call and I could be placed sooner. Nothing. This was back in March and I still haven't heard anything. I know temp agencies don't always have work, but damnit don't give someone a timetable if you know you can't fulfill it. And what's with the unreturned calls and emails? Totally unprofessional.

I have contacted Accounttemps around September 2014 in Warrenville, IL. I was asked to come in for…read morean interview and met with Frank and Kevin. They asked me if I can work full-time but I was only looking for part-time employment. Few days later, Frank called me and asked me if I will be available to work 20 hours per week in downtown Naperville, IL which I agreed. He then said he setup an interview with the company, he gave me the date but said he will send me the details (address etc) later on. He never called me back to give me the detail or inform me that the interview date has been changed. He did the same several times and even called me to ask me how the interview was though he never provided me the location or company to go to for an interview. Finally, he gave me the address and gave me the date for an interview and said he will confirm but never called back. He called me yesterday, 6 months later, and said he had an assignment for me. I informed him that I was not available and will not be available for a while. He asked me if I was employed and when will I be available. I informed him that I will not be available forever. Despite my response he kept asking me if I was employed, what I was doing, and when I will be available. He was very pushy and wants to know my personal business. Then he texts me saying if I was upset. They were very inconsiderate for my time and not kind. Is this how Accounttemps employees treat individuals who are looking for employment? I hope Accounttemps corrects this.

Before each interview, they sent me a very thorough prep-sheet. They spent a lot of time on the phone with me getting to know my preferences and career goals. They made contact with me before and after every interview to provide guidance and process the experience. I know they are super busy, but it felt like I was their only client. Also, there was a sense of fun about working with them! I'd utilized three other recruiting agencies before I found them and I'd come to expect poor service and constant checking in to remind them to work for you.

The best I can say about this place is that they reached out to me while I was already gainfully…read moreemployed to get the ball rolling (and thus not exactly pressed to find new employment), so I can at least give them credit for initiating contact. With that said, make no mistake - you are NOT their client... you are their PRODUCT. The companies that they recruit for are their clients, so they don't really have a lot of incentive to keep you in the loop with a potential hire unless they have something completely definitive ahead of time. Case in point: I was working with a recruiter for over a month for a company that was hiring "ASAP" and that THEY called ME about (don't forget), but in the span of that month after my initial interview/evaluation, I heard back from my recruiter a total of 3 times - one of which was simply to ask me for another copy of my resume (which they already had on file). Bottom line - these aren't terrible people or anything, so you could definitely do worse as far as their professional politeness goes, but if you are looking for job immediately, please make sure you cast a much wider net than relying solely on LaSalle to find something.
