I wish I could give this agency negative stars. I've lost count the number of times someone from Beacon Resource has contacted me through LinkedIn and/or Indeed, only to never follow up or respond to my messages that expressed my interest on the opportunities that person presents. The latest incident happened on 10/15/20 when Rosa Carmelo contacted me though Indeed.
ROSA CARMELO:
Your accomplishments are very impressive! Even in these uncertain times, we have many clients who are growing and hiring.
I am working on an (sic) Senior Staff Accountant opportunity in Orange County. Are you open to hearing about new opportunities?
Are you available for a quick 10-15 min call today or tomorrow? I would like to learn more about you and what kinds of opportunities you are interested in for your next role. If you are looking to move to the next level in your career, I would love to discuss that as well.
Can you send me a good contact number to reach you at?
I look forward to hearing from you!
(Job description followed in message)
MY RESPONSE:
Hi Rosa,
I can talk right now. My phone number is XXX-XXX-XXXX. I look forward to hearing from you.
(END MESSAGE)
Nothing but crickets after that. Never heard from Rosa again, and like I previously stated, she is not the first person from Beacon Resources to not follow up. I tried to call their office, but now I get a recorded message that the phone number has changed or is no longer is service.
My frustration is now at the point I felt compelled me to write this review. I will NEVER respond to these people ever again.
What really saddens me is that I have worked with a couple of these people before at other agencies. Sara Vigeland, who is actually works at DLC, the parent company of Beacon Resources, and Ryan Milne, the manager of Beacon Resources, were people that, once upon a time, had a good working relationship with me. Now they also completely ignore me. Very disheartening. It may stem from the time I had last worked for Ryan Milne when he was at the other agency, and the client unjustifiably stated he wasn't happy with my work and wanted a refund for my services. Ryan Milne had asked me to sacrifice part of the pay I received from that assignment and I told him that I wouldn't. I thought it was completely out of line and I had never experienced anything like that before or since then. Needless to say, Ryan never contacted me again about another assignment. I'm not sure what he said to Sara, but I'm completely disappointed Sara took his word without speaking to me despite having a good working relationship with her in the past. I've tried to contact her directly, but she has not returned my messages. :-(
I digress. Look at the past negative reviews and you'll notice their experiences are similar to mine in terms of being misled into believing they seriously interested in you and wanting to establish a working relationship. Beacon Resources has zero integrity, has no professionalism, and has no business in being in the employment-placement business. read more
