When I wasn't available when she wanted me to be for a Zoom interview, she was suddenly unresponsive and passed the assignment to someone else (which is perfectly fine), but was not forthcoming about that at all and instead said that the company no longer needed help with the project. The dishonesty speaks to a lack of professionalism and integrity, and the recruiter Maggie simply could have said that the company needed someone sooner. While temporary agencies have their clients' interest (businesses) first and foremost in mind, that does not mean job seekers and temporary employment candidates need to be lied to. After all, candidates are The Choice's and other temporary agencies source of revenue. In light of this, I write to let others know that candidates deserve to be treated with respect, and to job seekers: advocate for yourself when employment practices are not transparent. As someone else mentioned, the glowing reviews are curious and my previous not glowing review was flagged (most likely by The Choice). I highly suggest consulting other sources such as Glassdoor and Google for more holistic, balanced insight to inform your decision of whether to work with them.

I'm sharing this experience to highlight the importance of transparency and good-faith practices in…read moreemployment. In October 2025, I accepted a full-time Account Manager offer with a staffing organization (NRI Staffing) and after completing all required background and reference checks. Shortly thereafter, I was asked by leadership (Tracy Van Duston, SPHR, SHRM-SCP (She/Her) to temporarily support an external client on a part-time contract, with an explicit assurance that I would transition into the originally offered full-time role once the contract concluded. Relying on that assurance--and the formal offer I had already accepted--I agreed. When the contract ended on January 31, 2026, I followed up regarding the permanent role and was informed that the position was no longer available. This experience was deeply disappointing. Redirecting a candidate into contract work under the guise of a guaranteed transition--only for the role to be eliminated later--raises serious concerns about ethics, representation, trust, and professional responsibility. These decisions have real financial and career impacts on people who are acting in good faith. I believe organizations and leaders should be held to the same standards of accountability and integrity that are expected of employees. I'm currently seeking a professional resolution, but I'm also sharing this as a reminder of how critical clear communication and follow-through are in hiring. For leaders, recruiters, and hiring managers: offers, promises, and assurances matter. People build their lives around them. I remain open to full-time opportunities where integrity, transparency, and mutual respect are core values.

Awful. In Washington DC they are TONS of jobs being posted in the DMV area…read more But all Robert Half Staff does is is lie and lie and lie. They do not read emails, they do not do anything unless you call and remind them 5 times in a row weeks apart. You can send an email, they do not read it - ever ! They do NOT return voice mail calls. They do not call you on the time when they say they are meeting with you. It is the constant lying that I find particularly awful. They will say they are slow - but at the same time, they are "too busy" to respond to all the applications. One lie after another. Even for basic temporary jobs they cannot fill them or keep track of anything at all. A full month will go by and positions are still posted and they don't take it off the website. And this recruiter keeps saying "to be completely transparent" which is the exact pre-cursor to another LIE. It is WASTE OF TIME. They do NOT read resumes - they DO NOT have ANY handle on candidate's experience. You have to repeat things 10 times and they still do retain any information. WASTE OF TIME. I know from another recruiter there - that they Post FAKE JOBS to attract candidates to market them to places they do not have a contract with.

After a successful first interview, Katie misrepresented the hiring process by providing fabricated interview dates for a second-round interview. These dates were objectively impossible, as they conflicted with a major, national conference the employers were attending - a basic industry fact she failed, or didn't care, to verify. After calling me repeatedly, without warning, at my current workplace and risking my job, she pressured me to commute a long distance in the middle of day for those interview dates that turned out to be impossible. When I made significant logistical arrangements to accommodate Katie's misrepresentations and pressure, she abruptly pivoted to a last-minute virtual request, refusing to address me by name or even specify the date. When I held the agency's leadership accountable for this amateurish and disrespectful behavior, the firm chose to ghost the process entirely. I never received an update. This has been the most unprofessional, manipulative, and deceptive experience from a recruiting agency. A perfect emblem of the transactional rot and moral bankruptcy of the contemporary hiring landscape. If you want transparency, competence, and basic respect for your candidacy and your livelihood, look elsewhere.

I've applied to two decent assignments through them, did everything correctly, tailored my resume and had awesome interviews--and both clients ended up keeping preexisting temp employees already in the role, for "convenience". If not hiring a new employee is most convenient, why do they keep wasting my time? One time, they even offered me a decent pay rate for an opportunity--when I accepted and submitted my resume, they asked if I could accept $2 less on the hourly rate because "other candidates had 10+ years of experience" and I should want to stand out. If they have over 10 years of experience in the administrative field and I have 5 years of experience--why would I even be considered in the first place? Sparks Agency was either trying to get more money from me or there are some poor souls out there with TEN years of experience answering phones/scheduling and are reduced to accepting such a pitiful rate for all of their hard work. Also, they sent me a position which, in their own description, required at least a bachelors degree. When I looked at the original job listing on the company's website, it only required an associate's degree! Something fishy is definitely going on here. Please don't bother with this agency unless you have 30 years of experience as someone's admin and are looking to make $13-20 an hour, just to be told multiple times that you're not convenient enough. I've had MUCH better experiences at other staffing agencies in town.
