No cute funny stories to share about my experience this time. I emailed my resume to one of the recruiters direct and received a prompt call setting up an interview. When I arrived I was surprised to see the varied crop of people waiting to see someone. As I was using I-​Go, my first impression was less than impressed since there was a meeting going on which delayed my interview for about 20 – 30 minutes. Being unemployed doesn’t mean my time is not important to me, especially when I am paying for that time.
My interview went well, and I didn’t anticipate it being an issue to be placed. I followed up with the recruiter several times, including revamping my resume per his suggestion. And then nothing. No call, no email, nothing.
The whole thing was an utter waste of time and I can only hope this review makes someone else think twice before attempting to use this firm’s ‘service’.

Here they have a different song and dance then the usual temp firms, they say they only work with motivated people that want to join companies. According to one of their recruiters they place people that will join the company as an employee (vested) within a short /​fixed period of contract employment. They never hire anyone for short term assignments that last less than four weeks.
What bothered me? Its winter season and while I understand that shoes drag in dirt, salt, etc. Can’t they have their lazy ass secretary run over the carpet once or twice a day with a Black and Decker? or one of those carpet cleaners that require no power, it just catches up large debris. Its a pig sty! The secretary is having her own party, salsa music thumping the PC speakers so you hear distortion. She’s at least cautious to turn it down as recruiters come and go. Snotty, when you walk in for the first time and she hands you a clip board and states quickly what you have to fill out. Not even a smile or a nod hello?!
Do I want these people to place me at a job (you think as you sit and notice the garbage appearance of the room around you)
They make you wait the customary twenty minutes, as if, the recruiter is always busy. Your taken to a small crappy room with just enough seats for three people to re-​adjust the table and seats cuz’ obviously someone didn’t pay attention to how many people could really fit in a tiny ass conference room. Two guys walk in, both straight out of university. you can see the wetness behind the ears. You can tell this by the lack of knowledge they have when trying to ask you questions off a sheet the «employer» they are hiring for has already provided for them. And then the whiney ass response. «I gotta say, you have got an extensive background. but the position you are applying for asks for 4 years experience and it looks like you have only 3 years.
When a temporary firm, job placement agency is called to place people at a company, in most cases, the company needing the people will want to interview the candidate, especially when the work is specific. If its mundane grunt work, they’ll take anyone. So, in the end, even if you have 3 years experience in comparison to 4 years. if the recruiter is really «for you» and ballsy, he/​she would just submit your resume and cross their fingers. Might as well, they make money if you are hired on as a contractor.
This company has usually got TONS of job postings on Career-​builder. Also the pay varies from the lowest I’ve found at $ 10 — $ 24, even higher for those of you that are highly specialized. While on the Internet they seem to be an awesome company to get in bed with, in person they are unattractive.
