The recruiters at Robert Half are friendly, knowledgeable, and great to work with! Great staffing agency, have referred others. Highly recommend. They have always been super professional and helpful. They are quick with response time. When there are questions and/or concerns, they are quick to guide you the best way possible and to handle matters in such a professional manner. read more

Just had a question about what they offered to employers. I called their number, and the person gave me Glen Greenwald's #. Called before Christmas and he called me after the New Years and left me a message. I called him back and got his vm stating it's best to text him. Did that and no response. Text again a few weeks later and no response. I called their office number and can't get a hold of any one live. They are really circling the drain in how they treat people. read more

I have had an exceptional experience" with Robert Half, and recruiters, Raymond and Neville as being highly knowledgeable, supportive, and effective in finding me suitable job opportunities that align with my skills and career goals over the past 4 years. You acted as a coach and advocate for me throughout the process. Thank you.. read more

I can't say enough great things about Robert Half. I worked with Cynthia, Dottie & Ren in my job search. They were all very kind, helpful and knowledgeable with getting me through the process. For anyone looking for a job or new job please reach out to Robert Half. I highly recommend them!! read more

Robert Half was so incredibly supportive and on top of everything in my job search. Even at the end of the year in Holiday time, they never stopped finding me Opportunities and I ended up with my choice of acceptance rather than being pigeon holed. Ian Taylor and Lauren Barthman were especially helpful and positive, and this was so needed after being laid off. Couldn't recommend this group enough for finding any sort of employment. read more

I hesitate to give lower than a three star even through my gut reaction is about a two. I had ended up sending in my resume after deciding to take the temperature of the current job market and finding Robert Half had posted a job listing on LinkedIn. While I had a really great experience with another recruiter, the recruiter from Robert Half mirrored almost exactly the negative experiences I'd had with other recruiters in the past. After emailing my resume for a specific position, the job I'd sent my resume in for was never mentioned again. And, after one single teleconference, I received temp paperwork from a third party person at the agency, but before having the chance to fill it out, I received a job offer through the other recruiter (ABA Staffing). I sent an email to Robert Half and let them know I was in negotiations and was immediately called by them to "check in" and "see if they could help." I didn't return their call, but made the mistake of accidentally answering a few days after I'd accepted my new job. The Half recruiter had called with the vague excuse to ask for advice. After telling them I'd been hired elsewhere, the recruiter started telling me about an SF client they had (I'd made it clear I was not interested in working in SF during the original teleconference) and the word "you" kept being dropped while describing the job's duties. I was then asked if I knew anyone interested. I said no, and politely wrapped up the phone call. A few days later I was called again by another person at the agency regarding "opportunities" and decided I had had enough. After calling them back I let them know I was no longer interested in being contacted. Even after posting this review, someone reached out trying to get me to contact them. While I'm sure for some people their process works wonderfully, I found it wasn't for me. read more

The employees here don't get enough credit for all the hard work they put into helping candidates, like myself, connect to their client base!!! I was informed about Accountemps through a colleague of mine that also used the agency before and loved it. My first point of contact was Payal Patel and she is a Staffing Manager. She was very persistent and I spoke with her almost every day with her giving me various interview opportunities! She kept clear communication with the interviewing process and who I will be meeting. I've also worked with Allyson Smart who was the match-maker for me and I am SUPER thankful for to help me find the job I am currently in! I just started my new job and I'm LOVING it! Also, special shout out to Christina Tran who is the Vice President of Robert Half Finance & Accounting that personally reached out to me to help me with my decision on sealing the deal. The process of going through Accountemps is that they ask that you come in to interview or Skype if it doesn't work out with your schedule to learn about your background, what you're looking for, your past experience, etc; This is just so that they know you like the back of their hand and when they pitch you to their network of clients, they can find the perfect match! I would HIGHLY recommend trying this place out! 650.574.8200 is their phone number and when you call, you just have to ask who you'd like to be connected too. The employees here also really care about your future, so it is really a win-win situation here! **They also help people find full time jobs, not just contract to hire!** CALL THEM TODAY! read more

This review is for Owen Gilliam, Vivian Lo and Ian Taylor. I've been wasting TOO MUCH time doing job searches on my own. Even after passing all my CPA exams, I was still having trouble getting my first accounting job. I guess nobody wanted to hire me because I had zero accounting experience. Whatever it was, it wasn't good. And then Owen Gilliam from Accountemps contacted me. His professionalism and ability to understand my situation was totally 100% on point. He, and eventually Vivian and Taylor, worked super efficiently (like Pareto Optimal efficient) to get my first accounting job in less than a week!!! The accounting firm that they've matched me up with is the best job I've ever had. The company and their employees literally got each others back. I can't thank you guys enough! read more

My only basis for this 1-star review is the simple fact that I never signed up to be on their mailing list and yet I continue to get emails from them. They offer no unsubscribe option on their emails, and whoever Jessica Cambra is who keeps emailing me with great offers for temporary office workers (which I've never needed, never looked for, or asked about) refuses to acknowledge my emails, continues to send them and won't take me off their mailing list. Not sure how hard it is, except for the fact that you're clearly just mass emailing people, spamming them and hoping someone bites. I've been a recruiter, I've been in staffing. Not the way to conduct business. read more

Bottom line: DO NOT REGISTER WITH THIS AGENCY!!! Unless you want to be lied to, ignored, misled, deceived, and downright treated like your "nothing"!!!! STACY LEVY interviewed me at this branch and NEVER returned ANY of my messages I sent to her by email and voicemail and messages I left with the front desk receptionist. NOT EVEN ONCE after interviewing with her!!!!! How unprofessional is that!!!! - I have worked with a LOT of recruiters in my admin career, but I have NEVER come across a recruiting office worse than this one on Campus Drive. - They DO NOT return phone calls or email EVER!!! - I was told in advance at my interview that if they gave me assignments it would be as much as $5/hr below my pay grade. Never been told that in my life with all the agencies I've been with! - Unprofessional and all that time you invest will be nothing but a WASTE! - I am honestly fed up and truly detest this company! I wouldn't even give them ONE star!!!! read more

Giving it two stars since "I've experienced better" back in 2008. My staffer was so good I was sad to see him go, but hey, life goes on right? When I decided it was time for my to look for another job, I called Accountemps since they placed me where I was working at the time. I was matched with Dilnare Erkin - she interviewed me on the phone and set up an in-person interview a few days later. But guess what? On the day of the interview at 8AM I was there waiting for 30 minutes. I asked the reception desk where Dilnare is and the receptionist said my staffer forgot about the interview and she wasn't sure if it was confirmed. Well, needless to say shouldn't the Recruiting Manager be more responsible? That IS after all her title. So she finally arrived and we went through the interview process. I dismissed the face she forgot about the interview but it's so unprofessional on what happened after. Exactly - there were no other follow ups or whatsoever about what's going on with my potential match with employers. I never received a call about 'Hey great news I found something that you might be interested on'. NEVER. I called and nothing happened. Fast forward several months in November of 2013. I went through the same process with Dorene Fong. I've met her before even though I didn't work with her directly and yeah, I thought she could really help me find something, after all she wanted me to work as a Salaried Professional and I was exciting about that. I signed all paper works hoping I could get something. Well you know what, it's now July and not once did I hear back from Accountemps. I don't think they really cared. I understand it was almost holiday and sure I waited...even if I had to "hear" from their other branch but nothing. Totally unprofessional work ethics. As a Sr. Staffing Executive, I expected more...especially since I worked with them before and I was really let down. I hope everyone else has a better experience because this is truly hurtful. To Robert Half Management - you may want to take a look at your branch in San Mateo. Candidates like myself doesn't deserve this kind of treatment. Luckily, I found a new job without the help of Accountemps and I absolutely love it. read more

The previous post really bums me out. I have worked with Stacy at Office Team for over almost two years now. (I'm a customer.) She has been nothing but professional with me, she even found my current SUPERSTAR Office Assistant. She has gone through hoops to manage my companies needs, and has gone out of her way to make sure that we are a happy company! I work with multiple agencies given my position at the company and if you want to talk about unprofessional, I can give you a few names, but OfficeTeam is not one of them. read more

Had a wonderful experience with the team at Robert Half. The process was easy and straightforward, pretty much give them your resume and tell them what you're looking for and they start alerting you right away. Everyone on staff is super friendly and easy to work with. The first placement they put me at turned out to be where I'm working full time now. I would highly recommend looking for opportunities through this agency. read more

So I was contacted by Ve Ho of OfficeTeam San Mateo after she discovered my resume on Monster.com. I did not know what I was going to be offered for my first assignment by OfficeTeam but Ve presented my resume to Neville Bendiola for a position with a top national company in the event industry, an industry I hoped to get back into after I recently graduated from college. I cannot thank Jen Braun, Ve Ho, and Neville Bendiola enough for their help to kick start my career building. My assumptions for Recruitment Agencies were that they will find some qualities/skills that may fit for their client's needs and send me off to some random company in an industry I am not familiar with, but I believe OfficeTeam went above and beyond to place me in the industry I was hoping to be in, and with a high profile company. I've been interviewed by Nelson Staffing (San Francisco) before and it was rather impersonal, but the interview process and the demeanor that Jen Braun had with me was nothing but pleasant and exceptional. I went through the registration with Nelson Staffing, but they never contacted me ever since. Nelson Staffing does not even compared to the quality and attention to your career goals that OfficeTeam can provide for you. In summary, I was contacted on a Thursday to see if I can be interviewed by OfficeTeam for a possible position for their client, interviewed on Friday, then interviewed by their client on Monday, and notified that I was employed that day (Monday). They are very prompt and efficient in terms of job placements. I would recommend OfficeTeam to anyone who is looking to build a career. read more

This is my first time working with a recruitment agency and I had such a great experience with OfficeTeam. Ray and his team were proactive with helping me find temp to hire positions and would check in with me regularly. I ended up getting converted to full time after 4 months! I love the company that I work at now so I would highly recommend OT for your job search needs. Thank you Ray for your optimistic attitude and dedication! read more

I worked with Janelle in the San Mateo Office. The whole office is great but she is remarkable. She took the time to understand what I was looking for and worked with me when it came to interviews. She understood and supported me when I declined an offer because it was not what I wanted in the long run. Janelle found me a great position that was exactly what I was looking for and I could not be happier now. read more

SO AWESOME!!! It's been a long time since I've been really unemployed. The pandemic hit so many of us so hard! I lost my job in August of 2020 due to Covid. I was planning to retire from that company. I was in love with it, the culture, the people... all of it. SO.... I jumped in to the job search. WOW, talk about daunting!! I started to get a few bites and got a few interviews right away. As soon as I started I realized that this is my opportunity to really say what I want the rest of my life to be. REALLY. I ended up turning down a couple of opportunities; I had the job offers and said "no thank you" to that which didn't suit me, never have I done that before! I knew something was going to happen. AND IT DID. Dottie Hernandez from Robert Half reached out to me on Linkedin. I'm familiar with Robert Half as they staffed a few accounting positions in the company I was just with. I have NEVER met a Dottie Hernandez!! With our first call I found her to be a straight shooter and direct in the kindest most... comforting way! It was something I'd never experienced in a staffing agency. Right away I had the sense that this was a partnership and she really drove that home for me. I had an advocate, a partner and a friend in my corner going to bat for me! I'm at the end stages of the interview process for a job I REALLY want, I mean it's so far beyond anything I was finding on my own! AND the most important part for me is that Dottie has been with me, cheering me on, lifting me up, ensuring I'm asking for what I'm worth in life and conditioning me, with each step, that even if this job isn't my "forever" job, I have EVERY confidence Dottie will find what best suits me and the lucky company who gets me that confidence comes from her tireless work ethic, support and love for what she does. She's passionate and loyal to her plight, which of course, is my plight! Finding the best fit. Dottie truly believes in people and making connections. She helped me see things in myself I hadn't noticed. She believes in me so I could be confident and truly believe in myself-a big statement in the age of imposter syndrome and an uncertain world! Dottie is a MASTER of saying the perfect thing at the perfect moment. I'm truly grateful to Robert Half and the impeccable Dottie Hernandez for helping me become the woman I've become during this otherwise harrowing time in history. In such a time of chaos, Dottie stands as a lighthouse for folks to find their way through the rough seas and dark skies, she's my personal super hero and I'm forever grateful to have her on my journey! read more

Dottie Hernandez with Robert Half has found three of the four of my last full-time positions out here in the Bay area, including most recently in the middle of the pandemic. Her and the rest of the team at Robert Half go above and beyond to put you into the right position for you. read more

I cannot thank the OT team enough. They worked very quickly in getting me set up in their system, and after that, they had many positions ready for me to take. Before i chose the position i was in, I had three options available to me. After i chose the gig I wanted, OT's communication was constant, and they were always available to help me out with any questions or problems that ever came up. OT was flexible, and very transparent with me. After eight months being at the temp position that OT provided me, I can happily say that I am a part of their permanent staff. OT is highly recommended for anyone looking for a job in the admin services field. Nuclear-hot glowing recommendation for OfficeTeam! read more

Accountemps was able to find me a job within weeks of my initial application. Coming from a gap of employment, I was afraid I wouldn't be a strong candidate. Accountemps was able to place me at a position close to my home with awesome benefits! I love the team I work with now, and I ended up being converted ahead of schedule. Accountemps continuously checked up with me on a weekly basis and I never felt like I was pressured to do anything. They repeatedly emphasized that every professional decision was mine, and that they stood behind me all the way. I've worked with multiple staffing agencies, both in-house and as stand alone firms, Accountemps was the friendliest and most professional team that I have dealt with. I have no regrets. They jump started my career and now I am back on track! I've now been at the same spot for more than 3 months, and it's all because of their team. Huge shout out to Stephen Rock. Thanks for having my back and making me feel like a professional again! Thanks for treating me as a friend and was patient the whole time. I wish you the best of luck in all your future endeavors. Thanks again to Vivian Lo and Ian Taylor in the initial stages, you're awesome! I'm sure you pulled some strings for me and I really appreciate it. Thank you for the support and all of your hard work. I'd definitely work with Accountemps again. If you're looking for quality and professional job placement, look no further. I endorse their services! read more

I've worked with several staffing agencies, but this experience has been the best yet! Dottie Hernandez is a rockstar recruiter that'll match you to great direct hire placements, and she even took the time to call me before interviews to go over what the employer was looking for. Neville and Maryam are also wonderful at their jobs, working to get you to work while making you feel like you're their main focus. Love this team! read more

I moved to the Bay Area in November of 2014 and everyone knows that that's the worst time to be looking for work due to the holidays. Office- Team found my resume on Indeed and contacted me during a time where I had almost given up on my job search. They matched me with Tammy Abinader as my personal recruiter. She is AMAZING! Since I have been with Office-Team I have not gone 1 day without employment. The best part about Office Team is they listen to your concerns and problems you may have in a position and help you either resolve the problem or place you in a new position right away. I can honestly say I have learned tremendously about different industries and really got a grasp on what type of Industry I want to be in, and where I want to take my career in the future all thank to Office-team in placing me in places that have helped me grow beyond measures. If you are wondering if this place is for you or not, I would suggest calling OfficeTeam and asking for Tammy Abinader. I have grown close with her as my recruiter and I am so glad she has had my back for the past 6 months. read more

I can't say enough about the San Mateo OfficeTeam from the beginning Jenny Nguyen and Michael Hendricksen have been of great help with finding me the right fit!, Jenny is very nice and professional and always willing to answer any questions or concerns I may have. Michael is of great help in regards to the background of the job requirements as well as prepping for the interview! So far I have had a great with both of them and their whole team in San Mateo! read more

I had the pleasure of working with Julie, Dottie, Lauren, Jenny & Mike. This team is absolutely amazing, they are on it, they placed me in 2 weeks with a great job. I could not be more excited, I will be recommending their team to others. Thanks so much Robert Half, I couldn't have done it without you!! read more

OfficeTeam San Mateo, Palo Alto, and San Jose are the best OfficeTeams in the Bay Area! They support you and really want the best for you when they place you with a company. I ended up converting within 4 weeks of being with the company they placed me with and I couldn't be happier. I'm so grateful for their constant support! They even brought me a fruit tart cake and strawberry roll cake to congratulate me for converting to full time! Special thanks to: -Kristy Pak, for placing me with my current company and the support she's given me throughout my job search journey. -John Azzam, for finding the company! -Jenny Nguyen, Lauren, and Maryam Naseem, for the support through my job search. -Raymond, for being supportive throughout the transition. read more

I can't say enough about Neville Bendiola at Office Team, San Mateo Office. His whole team is great I must say. But Neville stands out to me as I have dealt with many temp agencies. Neville really listens and communicates very well. He got to know me and what assignments would be a great match and they were pretty right on....there may have been just one that wasn't quite a fit. I have worked at many different companies through Office Team and they have been pretty great companies. I have just landed a permanent position but if I ever need to go back to temp work it would be Office Team, and Neville along with his team, that I would call!! read more

Working with OfficeTeam of San Mateo's recruiter Kelly Thaker was a disturbing experience. She'll say anything to get you to accept an assignment. Please be aware that once you accept the assignment, she'll lessen your hours , a 40-hour work week is really 34 hours a week. Placing you in an uncompromising situation, she'll threaten you that if you don't continue with the assignment, OfficeTeam won't provide you any other assignments. I've worked with considerate and reasonable recruiters from OfficeTeam before. They have the know-how to work for and with clients and candidates, and not approach the situation in a threatening manner. It's one thing not to get the 40-hour week straight, but to accept the shortened hours and be threatened without any other alternatives of assignments, isn't what OfficeTeam is about. How does Kelly expect candidates to comply to her threats, and be happy working with her? read more

Finding a job through Accountemps has been such a great experience! Vivian Lo and Payal Patel were constantly reaching out to me about opportunities that came up to them that would fit my experience and major, gave me the advice and tools I needed to go through the interview process successfully, and were overall outstanding when it came to their professionalism and their willingness to help me find the right job I was looking for. Thanks again for all your help! Highly recommend working with these two individuals through Accountemps if you need help looking for a job! read more

My experience working with Raymond Greenwald has been awesome! He understood what type of job I'm looking for and has matched me with a company whose culture fits me just right. Raymond has made a point to check in regularly to ask about how its going, whether I'm enjoying the job, liking my tasks, and satisfied overall. Raymond always gives me advice that I have found very helpful. I also appreciate Raymond's cheerful and optimistic attitude :) It's been a great experience, overall! I went from temp to permanent in four months. Thank you :) read more

Office Team in San Mateo has treated me like gold and they helped me find a wonderful job! I highly recommend Office Team to anyone looking to land a job! read more

Happily working with Office Team in San Mateo. Getting back into the workforce was a challenge for me. I decided to join Office team. Tammy Abinader worked with me to get ready for the assignments I can position for. Monica San Juan kept in touch with me; she found assignments for me and after a while I was hired to my permanent position in two weeks. She is professional, on time, knowledgeable and always available to help me. She continues to find me other projects. I have been given the opportunity to excel and now I have a years worth of great professional experience. I continue to be part of Office Team. read more

I worked with Kristine from Accountemps who found me a temporary position 4 days after I came back from a month long trip from Cuba. She was dedicated and made sure that the position was a good fit based on my experience and background. Every few days, she would check in to make sure I was doing well in my position. It made me feel like she cared about my well-being and that I was enjoying the job. This temporary position has now turned into a permanent position and I cannot thank Kristine and the rest of the Accountemps team more for their help. read more

From my first interview with Dorene Fong, she took the time to go over my long-term goals. This really impressed me and I think of her as a very realistic, respectful, and professional career coach that encourages you to do your best. I ended up doing several jobs with Accountemps for over 5 years. Learning expert-level-skills and advancing my education is fun and totally worth it!!!, because I know I will be using them in my next assignment (oh yeah, no doubt about that one!). Dorene, pushes hard to present your experience profile to potential company-clients and gets interviews that you can speak to with your own personal examples of being highly organized, detailed, and determined to make process improvements. It was awesome getting hired, again, and again like a perfect win-win situation. Trust me, many nice paychecks later, I can say Accountemps is a truly professional staffing agency with exclusive placements in top-name corporations that are not advertised anywhere else! read more

I work for an international logistics company, Robert Half is one of our staffing partners. I've been working with Payal Patel since she was the account manager for the Finance site. I can't compliment enough about how efficient they are. The average turn around time to fill a position is 1 week or less. Thanks for all your help and the sweets! =) read more

Accounttemps was an excellent temp agency. The recruiters have excellent relationships with companies and are able to create a game plan to ensure success in whatever position you apply for. Payal, my recruiter, was extremely helpful and had extensive knowledge about the company I am working for. I ended up getting converted to full time at the company and I couldn't have asked for a better temp experience! read more

This agency use to have very good recruiters that would follow up when you called in available for work, now they don't call back at all. Seems to me that the new mgmt team has a new focus and doesn't really care about the temporaries they have registered. The new team is all about favoritism and who they want to give the opportunity too. Once I get registered with another good agency which there are few besides this place, I will dump these guys! I can't understand how they always win awards for the most admired when they are so selective! Must be all the kissing going on... read more

I don't know how this firm get such high ratings, but I would definitely give them a negative five stars if I could. Next time, don't ask people to fill out the application forms if you are never going to call back. Avoid this recruiting agency if you are looking for one that pays attention to their prospects. Bad Bad Bad!!!!! read more

I have met and worked with a LOT of recruiters in my admin career, but I have never come across a WORSE recruiting office than this one on Campus Drive, and in particular, a very young and clueless male recruiter there. I had the feeling it was his first day on the job, it was so bad. He didn't know what questions to ask in the interview. He didn't know what his client wanted for the position to be filled, and said 'the client didn't know what they wanted'. So, I'm sitting there, thinking, what kind of recruiter is this, if he doesn't have the skills to find out what his client needs really are? Wow. I left the interview thinking that not only would I never want that guy to present me to any potential employer, what kind of employer would want HIM as their staffing recruiter? Recruiters, good ones, know, first of all, what their client really needs before they start trying to fill any positions, and they are willing to ask the hard questions to get those truthful answers. They also know what questions to ask for phone pre-screening before they bring you into their office, and when they interview you - if they are good - they find out what you really are looking for. This guy said he really didn't know enough about the position, or what they wanted. He asked me if I had looked at the company website, which I had, and I asked him if he had looked at, too. He hadn't!! Can you believe that?? He said he hadn't had time to look at it, but he had met the person who was hiring. What?? So based on meeting someone only, having no solid information on what the job really is, (or even what it paid), having done no research of his own on the company, he had sent over two candidates, both of whom had been rejected. Ya think? I left not wanting this guy to have anything to do with my career, let alone that office. I am perfectly willing to follow any recruiter's directions and advice, etc.....if they are a real recruiter who knows what they are doing. This guy was horrible, the absolute worst. Who would want to place their career in that guy's hands?? Not me!!! Be careful out there with recruiters....If your intuition tells you they are bad, go somewhere else, fast. read more

I've had to work with temps from this agency for several years. Eh! A lot of them don't care to do work well. One kid just spent his whole time surfing the web and on personal calls. One person thought they were too good to do photocopying. The rare ones that are any good don't get paid enough by the agency. Accountemps also charges an arm and a leg for these temps. Talk about a rip-off. I haven't had a good experience in a dozen years and I doubt that will change any time soon. read more

I guess Ruth was lucky because I've worked with many MANY agencies in the past, and this is one of the worst ones, I agree with Angie entirely. They get you in with job posts that don't exist and then promise you all the jobs are temp to hire when they are just temp jobs. The employees working here were in such disarray, I am really amazed that they find jobs for people. Jennifer did such a poor job at interviewing, she even insulted my reference, she needs to pay attention and be more professional and she's the manager, so that should say something. They deleted their last account because so many people found their service HORRIBLE! If I could give them zero stars, I would. read more
