Addison Search

Jobs seekers. If you stumble across a job that is handled by the Boston office dont waste your time. These people are clowns. My personal experience with one meeting with this outfit was a complete waste of time. If you are tge type of person that feels comfortable dumbing down to talk to a snot nose kid with no real world professional experience then good luck with Addison Search.

I’ll do my best to be as diplomatic as possible with this review.
I left a position to work with Addison on what I believed to be a lateral move. NOTHING at all was right. Second day into the assignment, I contacted my recruiter after learning the role was not a 4 – 6 month temp to perm opportunity as confirmed. In fact, it was an 8 – 12 week temp assignment as noted by the client (an accurate answer was NEVER provided by Addison). By day three, I found myself bogged down by unrealistic expectations, inundated with daily responsibilities, confused, frustrated, and lost in a sea of online modules and self-​paced tutorials (the training my recruiter communicated would be provided was never offered).
Two weeks into the role, the client shares their unwillingness to alter their cadence (like providing adequate training on processes, procedures and software applications to get me up to speed), references a need to maintain their existing momentum and ends the assignment.
Confused by it all, I expected Addison to provide some sort of debrief but was offered a vague and calculated answer. My recruiter indicated my focus should have been on the work (not the duration of the assignment), stressed the client’s need for someone to «dive right in,» communicated I had talked myself out of a job, and stated my issuance of a two week noticed (referring the role I left to take the assignment) prevented me from receiving training. The corporate office was no better. They simply took my information and referred me back to the Boston office.
Under no circumstance should you rely on this agency to look out for your best interest. Before accepting an assignment, be sure to meet with EVERYONE you’ll be working with while under contract. Ensure the terms of your assignment (duration, provision of training, adequate time allotted for the acclimation of company culture, policies, procedures and unfamiliar software) are aligned with the client’s expectation. Most importantly, proceed with an acute level of professional diligence. My «lateral move» left me living on a prayer, fighting for unemployment, and applying for food stamps.

I am very impressed with this agency. The initial interview was really great — no slimy sales pitches or attempts to convince me to work an assembly line for $ 10/​hr (hi PSG). I got frank feedback and great advice. Since that interview, I have heard from my rep several times per week. Yup, you heard it here. You don’t disappear into a blackhole post-​interview with Addison Search!
