Robert Half Finance & Accounting

After spending a few months trying to find a job on my own I went to Robert Half. Nathan and Kea were friendly, helpful, and professional. They followed up frequently by phone and email and made me feel they were working hard to place me. Nathan helped me revamp my resume and gave me a boost of confidence I needed. Within days they found me a great job with a non-​profit.
I don’t understand how some of the other reviewers had such different experiences from my own. Everyone I met there was super helpful and encouraging. By the way, before going to Robert Half I submitted my resume to Altres, Manpower, Staffing Solutions, and Olsten and NOT ONE of them ever followed up with me. The people at Robert Half were a breath of fresh air.

Robert Half is a very professional organization which will help you get the dream job you are looking for! I worked with Liesl and Ellen while I was looking for work and they are both very top-​notch, driven, and communicative. The first time I walked into the office I sat with Ellen first and then was introduced to one of their placement staff. While I was in that second meeting, Ellen came rushing in and said, you have an interview right now! We were both very excited as we walked a couple of blocks up the street in downtown Honolulu and she prepped me to meet the woman who would later become my boss. That’s the kind of dynamic firm you’re dealing with when you contact Robert Half. Thank you for helping me achieve my dreams!

don’t even go here looking to be placed if you don’t have a CPA or MBA. check all there recruitments, preference to those with so if no more, no walk thru da door. so what if you have years of high level experience. only things seemingly important is that you spent kala on some degree or worked public accounting.

I would consider Robert Half and their team to be very professional and prompt. Based on the negative feedback below, it’s safe to assume the individuals were not placed. I hope they come to realize that not everyone is placeable and its only the responsibility of the recruiter to get you an interview and your job to get land the position. I have a lot of respect for Robert Half and would recommend them for executive and direct hire placement.

I have had a very successful experience with Robert Half Finance & Accounting. I started out on the temporary side of the agency and was placed in a position very quickly at a pay rate I was happy with.
I decided to go back when I was ready to find a full time position, and started working with Liesl Bernard about six years ago. I immediately connected with her, she was honest and encouraging, and seemed genuinely interested in finding me a position that I fit in. I stayed over two years in my first role, and went back to Liesl when I was ready for something new. She also found me my current role, helping me to transition out of one career field and into another. She has always presented me with a variety of options, and I have always been able to chose the opportunities that most appealed to me.
It seems some of the other reviewers do not understand that recruiting is a business. I understand that the agency makes money from placing me, but they are also providing me an invaluable (and free!) service by taking the legwork and the uncertainty out of finding a job.

Robert Half = Accountemps = pure evil, with a chance of intermittent work at a much lower wage than you are used to.
Sam and Elbe are such utterly ridiculous frauds, they really should find work at a used car dealership, or else run for political office. Don’t you guys know that pays more than Robert Half does? And I already know that there is nothing more important in the world to you than money, so what you still sitting around there for?
Sam is the corniest, yet most self-​assured person I’ve ever met. How can you be so sure of yourself when you are so corny? Every word that came out of his loud mouth was totally forced. I doubt he’s ever had a natural conversation in his entire life (one where he wasn’t ultimately trying to pry something away from somebody).
The rest of the «staff» is a mixture of people who are too serious or too cheesy. All the decent people I met at Robert Half over the last 2 years have since been fired or quit, because to be a good temp recruiter requires that you be at least a narcissist if not a full-​on sociopath (someone who has no true regard or understanding of other peoples’ feelings, because they are biologically incapable of doing so). That’s what it takes to last there, I guess.
Robert Half and Accountemps — you are making the world a stupider place to live in, one day at a time.
Don’t sign up here. You will only be helping to promote evil.
EDIT: After re-​reading newer reviews, I see one recruiter from another temp agency left this place a 5-​star review, while incorrectly assuming that people who gave Robert Half 1 star weren’t placed in jobs. She’s wrong. I had 3 temp jobs through them and they were all less-​than-​positive experiences for less-​than-​decent wages.

No helping at all, totally siding with the employers. They are just like car salespeople; their ultimate job is to make the sale, not to help the job seekers.
