Hemphill Staffing Solutions

I have had worse experiences with other staffing agencies in the past but at least the other staffing agencies remembered me after I left their office!
After reading numerous daily postings from Hemphill for open positions on careerlink, I finally decided to give them a try. After I arrived it turned out that woman that I was to interview with was not there yet because she was «sick». No big deal, I took the software tests and sat in an interview room for 15 minutes or so until she arrived. When we finally met I couldn’t help but suspect that she was actually hung over and not sick. After a while she decided to introduce me to the hiring person for the «permanent side of the house» and made it sound as if this was not done often. I found that confusing since I clearly communicated that I was interested in permanent work only. Anyway, they read over my resume, told me I tested high, threw out some compliments and said they really wanted to place me and what a great candidate blah blah blah… that’s pretty much where it ended.
For the next week I continued to see new postings from them on careerlink and realized they were suspiciously similar day after day. One of them was exactly the type of job I had come from and was looking for so I emailed the woman asking if I could be considered for it. She told me it was only part time (which is not what the posting said) but she would find out for sure and get back to me. She never bothered. The next day the same posting went up again only «part-​time» was added to the script.
Enough with the red flags, I didn’t understand what their deal was but I knew I didn’t want to be associated with them professionally and continued to search on my own. After some time I found a great job in my desired field and sent good old Hemphill an email asking to be removed from their list, as I suspected they were baiting people into signing on with them and not being ethical about placing them. I received an email back congratulating me and telling me that they do not erase candidates from their database, they only mark them unavailable. This really aggravates me. I am truly not comfortable with them using my information when they did absolutely nothing for me, but there’s not much I can do now I guess.
Don’t waste your time, keep trying careerlink and something will eventually come your way.
