Volt Workforce Solutions - Employment Agencies Near Me - Fremont, California

I am an administrative professional who have used many recruiting firms for many years in finding employment. 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. read more

One wrong address, they're next to fremont bart now.. they placed me b4 they met me and I LOVE my placement. However, they need to stop playing with my money. The first paycheck, I called to see what time it came in, and they said my boss never signed my time sheet. She faxed it 2ce because she forgot to sign the first one. me " So why not call me?" Them "I tried to call your boss" Me "nobody thought to tell me I wasn't getting paid" Them "me well I need my money on time" Them "we can give u 70% saturday, and the rest in your next check: Me "I'm suppose to get 100%tomorrow not saturday" Them"thats the best we can do" Me "California law says u need to do better and I will be seeking legal action" Them "do what u need to do" 2 hours later they call me. Them so we can overnight all your money saturday" Me, "ok that works" Next week, they claimed they didn't get my timesheet. It was in 2 people's email they hadn't checked. Now they sent me a money network card I didn't ask for, and gave them my incorrect birthday,so I can't use my card. You guys need training. You are disorganized, you don't communicate with eachother, and that makes it hard on your clients. read more

They are incompetent fools especially in payroll. Oh my god I just got off the phone with this stupid person who was trying to blame me for their error, really?? She kept say when you work on multiple projects... What are you talking about lady I've been in the same office for the past 3 months. Then she starts on saying you took and advance on your... WHAT??? WHAT ADVANCE stupid??? You screwed up last week pay too there was no advance. She would not take responsibility for screwing up my pay, unbelievable. Who are these people? read more

Not too long ago I received another call from this horde of clowns. This one was for a low-level position with an unnamed medical company in Pleasanton. The phone call was recorded and it was regarding a scheduled a 3-hour "open-house". The caller indicated to bring resumes because candidates may be "hired on the spot" ... what a bunch of BS. These people are so desperate they aim randomly to people which is not only unprofessional but also annoying because nobody wants to be contacted for a job you are overqualified, you are not interested and would require a ridiculous commute. Here's my second 1-star rating for this living scam. Knock it off. read more

I've been here for 3 weeks now I haven't been paid yet, I leave messages with the recruiter that I never returned. The payroll department is incompetent. I can't recommend anyone work for them. I'm trying to move to another agency as I speak. If you like being paid on time and the right pay don't work for volt. You may get a job that you like but you have to leave because you didn't get paid. Is Fremont Branch needs to be totally overhauled. read more

I worked for Volt for a little over a year, for a pharma company (in the Marketing Department). Jessica Quezada was my contact at Volt. I have had a great experience working with Jessica; she was always available when I had questions and/or if I ran into any issues. I can email her or talk to her on the phone when needed to resolve any questions or issues. I also liked their online access so I can see my employment documents. I don't think any company is perfect, I believe communication and professionalism is key for both sides. read more

The Volt Temp Agency has something to explain with. They are hiring temporary people to work for Tesla Motors in Fremont but only Black people they hired. Anyone from the management of Volt Agency can read this, they should be aware of the Racism and Discrimination against colors. I can see most temporary in General Assembly are mostly Black and their agency is Volt. And that there are other colors of applicants applying but their applications was ignored. Wake up! read more

Almost lawsuit worthy. I worked for Volt for one week at a factory we're they provide you clothing to wear that is necessary for you to do the job. Since day one they have not had a size 12 boot after asking multiple times if I can order one they said I had to wait because of there "Dedicated Monthly Budget". At the end of the first week I reported a heal ( L foot) injurie while working go figure size 11 boots. They paid for my medical expenses to go to clinic. But when I returned to work on Monday I didn't have a job anymore and they proceeded to tell me multiple reasons like poor work performance followed by not reporting my injury within 2 hours. I think it was just a smoke screen for the real reason's they didn't want to admit to providing proper appreal. On top of that they made me drive to the work location to tell me I am not welcomed. Next time be good employment agency and call me. read more

I was found by one of Volt's recruiter via Monster jobs website and I have never worked with a job agency before, but although I have just started in my first assignment with this agency, I have nothing to complain about and can only give them praises. From the very beginning, Alex Reyes from the Newark office has been very courteous, detail-oriented and has followed-up with me in every step I had to take at my new job. I also got a phone call from a lady from the Volt office in San Jose and she was very friendly and helpful by reminding me about signing up for direct deposit of my payments. She even emailed me a detailed email with step-by-step tips on how to do it online! I am enjoying my new work environment and can only pray that they will want to keep me as a permanent employee. But if they decide not to do so for whatever reason, I wouldn't hesitate in using the help of Volt in finding me another job. I feel like they are very competent and trustworthy and I will suggest them to all my friends! read more

I've been trying to contact any of my agents for the last two weeks, when I finally spoke to someone they told me I had to come back to their headquarters and do some things that should've been already done or I should've been told to do when I was already there. It gave me a persons information that is not even my agent. No one emailed me or called me back even though I left several voicemails and emails. This agency makes Randstad look like the best agency in the world read more

I worked with Volt Solutions for almost 2 months they helped me with 2 assignments at first it was good with them until my second assignment came around & they didn't pay me until the 3rd week when I went to ask what was going on why haven't I gotten paid, payroll told me I wasn't finished with my application process so that why they hadn't paid me (so it was like I wasn't employeed) & she had the audacity to make a joke saying hah well at least you came in now or else you still wouldn't have gotten paid & payroll wouldn't have lost my hours. She also told me that It was a mistake on their end so they made me sign e-forms to become employed I was told I would be getting paid Wednesday it was a Monday I went in, I ended up leaving that agency & they still didn't pay me till that Friday & this was all during the ends of December knowing the holidays were legit around the corner & I let them know I needed my $$ asap bc of it & they didn't seem to care till this day they owe me a check they told me would be deposited by Friday today's Monday & I called them ask what was going on & she told me again I wasn't getting paid till this Thursday or Friday so they why tell me I was going to get paid last week??? They just tell you what you wanna hear so you wont argue back but I DO NOT RECOMMEND WORKING WITH THEM. They play with your money!! read more

I hope adding my number to their "Do Not Call List" works better than their matching candidates to jobs. I'd been applying for computer programming positions, they come back with warehouse positions. read more

I would never recommend Volt Workforce Solutions to anyone. The recruiters do not follow up with you, are rude, and incompetent. I was asked to do an interview by a recruiter in the Fremont, CA office with a company in South San Francisco, CA. The next business day another recruiter in the San Francisco, CA office called me to tell me I would have to go interview in Santa Clara, CA. I had to go all the way from San Francisco, CA to Santa Clara, CA even though the position was located in South San Francisco, CA. I called two recruiters back the next week to find out the status of the job. They never called me back. Finally, I had to call the area manager to get feedback about the interview to find out I did not get the job and came in second. I was told a recruiter would follow up with me the next day about jobs that I might be a fit for they are currently filling, but that never happened. I would definitely stay away from working with this company! read more

Terrible temp agency! I waited 6 weeks to get paid by them even though they are supposed to pay you weekly. I told my awful rep that I would not come back to work for their company based on them taking forever to pay their employees which is not an unfair arguement. When I did call to ask for my position back he refused to hire me after a lengthy question session on what an acceptable timeframe is to be at a company. My attandance and punctuality was never an issue. I passed my drug, background, and motor skill assessment tests. I was more than willing and able to work the mandatory overtime as well. VOLT was just looking for a scapegoat. Dumpy company that penalizes people for VOLT's incompetency. Don't hang jobs over people who are more than willing to work just because your reps are terrible at theirs! He never kept his word on calling me back....I always had to call him. Whatever VOLT! read more

I worked for Volt back in March-April as a contractor at Tesla ... They are very unprofessional people to work with! For the first 3 weeks I did not recieve one single paycheck and Volt employees are paid weekly! They demand almost any changes to be done IN PERSON (come into the office) even though they are aware that day shift hours at Tesla was 6am-6pm! They expected you to come in during youf lunch break! There was no other way to make things easier for the employees .. I have NEVER had this much difficulties with a company .. especially a temp agency! The FREMONT VOLT BRANCH is the WORST! Ive been with SF VOLT BRANCH and they are FREAKIN AWESOME! Working with SF VOLT all i had to worry about was attending work the rest was taken care by my recruiter! DONT EXPECT THAT FROM FREMONT VOLT .. All they care about is numbers and recruiter workers! They dont care if you dont get paid on time .. I would not recommend anyone to go thru Volt ! If someone wants to work for TESLA THRU TEMP AGENCY THERE ARE PLENTY OF OTHER AGENCYS THAT RECRUIT FOR TESLA!!! For example : Nelson, Johnson, West Valley etc. PLEASE DO NOT SETTLE FOR FREMONT VOLT! But as I always tell others : Apply at your own risk but he prepared to deal with childish run arounds! read more

Treat their clients horribly. The female latina (supervisor?) had a bad attitude for no reason while we were filling out paperwork, and was VERY evasive about payroll questions. My first paycheck is two weeks late. They mail checks from Southern California REGULAR slow mail for THREE checks until the direct deposit kicks in. When they screw up your pay, complain to the corporate office instead. They kept giving me the run around and passing the buck to fix my payroll issue that THEY messed up. It took a WEEK of leaving voicemails, ignoring my emails and texts and threatening to file a grievance by contacting the Orange CA and NYC office before they even addressed the issue and contacted me. In the 20 years I have been working I have never had this happen. I probably will still file a grievance anyway. I've been working almost a month with no pay and now waiting for 3 paychecks to arrive. read more

This is the worst agency to work for. They are not helpful and the agents are HELLA rude!! I worked for them a few years ago and it was bad then but that's a different story. However my boyfriend has worked for them recently and his experience was just as ridiculous. He let the agent Lamar know that his bank account is inactive and Lamar let him know that everything is all good and that he will receive a paper check. Today is payday and his check was still sent to his inactive account (we are not sure how he was able to see the amount and all that and literally that's another long story and complaint with that bank). My boyfriend called Lamar and he was completely rude and very inconsiderate. He told him that this was his fault and that he was supposed to make sure he deleted his bank account information from the companies hr website. When he was asked "so basically I'm working for free?" Lamar's response was "yes you are working for free." In all honesty if this was me Lamar would had gotten cursed out. He wasn't helpful as all, he blamed my boyfriend for the misinformation he should have been reminded of and we feel like the majority of what Lamar had to say was sarcastic and patronizing to the 10th power. This issue isn't really resolved and we are hoping for it to be. Just imagine how far this has set our weekend back and bills even! We are making sure to tell our friends and family to switch to Aerotek. They are bomb.com! Hooked me up with my Sephora call center position and they are beyond professional. Not only that Aerotek preps you for your interview and would even meet you at the location before your interveiw for a pep talk and some encouragement. Thank you Lamar for showing us why we would never ever recommend any one to Vault!! read more

Volt was extremely helpful in finding me work. Very professional - great communication - wonderful service - seriously. If you're looking for work, try them! read more

I have used about 6 or 7 employment agencies, and this Volt office, as well as the office in San Francisco are both top notch. I mostly dealt with Bela at the Newark office, but also dealt with Michelle in San Francisco, and everyone there was professional and earnest. I have received two positions through other employment agencies in the past, and Volt is much better than some other agencies I can mention. They seem to have many great opportunities, judging by the positions they have presented to me, a conversation I had with someone who had just received a job through Volt, and the positions I overheard Volt staff members discussing while at these two offices. They immediately set me up for an interview for a customer service position and informed me of a similar position with potential for growth, both from high calibre companies that offer good pay. read more

Miss Evelyn helped me found a contract position which I enjoy a lot so far. I am now working on an assignment as a recruiter and one of the reason I enjoy being as a recruiter is that it relates to my major and really help me build the necessary experience. Thank you Miss Evelyn. read more
