Insight Global

Insight Global appears to be a fairly big operation with 38 locations in U.S.A. and Canada. Very simply, this place is a joke and the people behind it are just playing by the shady rules of whoever runs this business in the downtown area. Over time I have been contacted by a total of 9 recruiters (if you can call them that way). When they contact you, they typically send e-​mails but they are never clear about what the job is about because they do not send a detailed job description, even after you ask them repeatedly. All they do is lure you in with a possible opportunity and do their best to try to find how much you made, you are making or you want to make. It’s too bad I got really good in that direction, to the point one of their recruiters grew really frustrated on the phone during a rate negotiation because he was unable to get the numbers. Honestly, they don’t give you the details, they don’t tell you anything about the package so I don’t see why they should expect to get anything in return. When you ask for a job description they do not tell you what they look for even on the phone so it’s impossible to fill in the blanks and see if you have any interest in the job. When you call them back and you tell them you have n years of experience, some of them will say that they need at least n+2 years of experience, indication that they do not read your résumé so it’s a complete waste of time for the job seeker. In one occasion, I was contacted for a job that would suit somebody that just got out of school and it just happens that I did not complete my university degree yesterday. It looks as if the entire operation is run by Jordan Salkeld or he has major input into things. He assigns jobs and makes sure he bounces you around among several coworkers for the same position so in the end you don’t even know who you should contact. In one occasion he contacted me for a job, I asked for updates after talking and he turned into a ghost. One time I visited their office when I was invited by a recruiter that was friendly but didn’t know anything about the high tech industry and was asking basic questions on acronyms that are so common I was literally shocked to find out he didn’t know. Another problem with this business is that they don’t actually try to match a job seeker to an opportunity. Also, when you call them they tell you they are in a meeting and they will call back in ten minutes but they don’t and later invent excuses to bridge the gaps. I think all they do is collect information to do strategic planning and marketing research, particularly on salaries. My experience with them has been the opposite of positive so I don’t want to deal with them anymore because they only wasted my time. This business is a joke.
