Netpolarity

I’ve worked with multiple contracting agencies in the past, and I’ve had my share of negative experiences. Many staffing firms never follow up when the client chooses another candidate, or they want an excessive number of «references» to try to build their client base, or they try to sell you positions paying WAY below market level (they of course are making a fortune by ripping you off, but that’s another story…).
For me, NetPolarity was a pleasant surprise during my job search. I received a call from a recruiter, not because he just wanted a name in his database, but because he found my resume online and actually had a job in mind that I was qualified for. I didn’t need to submit an extra application, I didn’t need to provide ten references for them to harass, and I didn’t need to come in to the office for 10 minutes to waste time. Instead, my recruiter pitched a contract position over the phone, coordinated a phone screen and an onsite interview directly with the client, and followed up very quickly with the client’s decision. The entire process took only 7 days.
I didn’t end up getting an offer (though that is more the client’s decision than NetPolarity’s…), but I will say that as far as contractor interview experiences go, I was highly satisfied by how prompt they were. I would absolutely work with them again, should another position come my way.
(FYI, they offered $ 19/​hr for a temp-​to-​hire, entry-​level office administrator role. Robert Half pitched a similar position for only $ 12/​hr the week before. Hmm…)
