Recruiter vs Agent…read more It was the first time in 20 years that I needed to find a new job, I figured I could just overcome the odds by sheer tenacity and indomitable grit. Months has gone by using this methodology which turned my hopeful expectations to monotonous disillusionment.The worst part of the whole experience was feeling alone in my delima. During this period of time I enlisted the aid of several recruiter companies to assist me in finding something adequate. My expectations for these type of services was the same expectations I would have from the guy behind the counter at Starbucks. It is because of this status quo of this generic consumer orientated approach to most services out there that the experience I had with Riverpoint stands out so much. The best way to summarize my experience is feeling like I had Jerry Maguire representing me. Recently Dan Moberly help me find a new place of employment that is far better than what I could have managed on my own. The very least I can do is express my gratitude by posting my experience with them on my social media sites and hope other people looking for representation in the job market contact them.

Complete waste of my time…read more I've recently needed to seek new employment and Morgan Hunter was recommended by my Mom since she was a fan of them 15 years ago. I was able to get in and talk with Andrea (one of the recruiters) about my employment needs/wants/expectations. It seemed like a complete joke. If I were working a full-time, salaried job with full benefits, why would you ask someone if (in this day in age) benefits are required? Besides that, she told me to do ridiculous things with my resume that I've never EVER heard someone (including my parents, teachers and professors) tell me. When discussing my salary expectations, she told me that she wasn't going to be able to call me with many jobs due to the fact that I want "too much". I have a friend with a recruiter from here as well and she was told the same thing. Why would you want to not make at least what you're making now or slightly more when you have experience and a college degree/licenses? And if I'm looking for a potential career, I don't want someone to call me about every single job that comes across their desk. No thank you. Not to mention, she had a snarky tone to everything she said. Not my cup of tea. This place seems like a joke and I think it's mainly used for people who need entry-level positions and that's just not where I am anymore.

Employees lack followthrough will email responses, or updates, and Morgan Hunter employees seemed a bit catty with each other behind the scenes.

Just adds to the whole "we're not a real business" feel. *https://www.facebook.com/pages/Morgan-Hunter-Corporate-Search/123964934302023

When I did have a problem with one of their temps, they immediately responded with a resolution that I was comfortable with.

When I first started working under Aerotek I was really excited because my recruiter was super…read morefriendly and I got the job a week after interviewing. What made it really hard to for me to still respect this agency is the way they handled everything when it was all said & done. First of all, I get that the job of a recruiter is to build their reputation by keeping hirees at jobs as long as possible & have a high success rate. However, if the job you send a person out to is not honoring their side of a contract it seems like common sense to get things fixed. The clinic I worked for never gave me my full 40 hours the 3 months I was there. When I mentioned this to my recruiter she said that's because every place considered full time something different. Which let's face it, is bullshit. Everyone knows 40 is full-time. Period. After that things just went downhill. The place was extremely unorganized and when my boss there realized I wasn't comfortable in following their "work ethic" she proceeded to complain to my recruiter at Aerotek that I was coming in too late. Which I'll albeit I had come in a couple of times late, but when you and literally everyone else in our department do the same thing & spend most of your days on your phone, I find it pretty hypocritical that that is what you want to focus on. To not make this longer than it has to be, my boss fired me one day and I didn't even know until my recruiter called me to let me know that night. Because my boss didn't have the decency to tell me to my face. She also did it to another girl who had started with me, and I'm pretty sure it was only because she didn't like her on a personal level. I tried to explain all of this to my recruiter when she called to tell me the news, but all she did was make excuses for them & figured "it just wasn't a good fit." I never felt like she ever tried to see my point of view. I know I wasn't blameless, but at the same time if you send me somewhere to work there, the least you could do is make sure the place is a respectable enough establishment to trust to treat its employees right. Luckily I was able to find another job right after on my own, but I will say this: your recruiter will be happy with you & follow up just as long as you're making them look good. The second something goes wrong at your job, regardless of if it was not your fault, they will drop you & not look back.
