Applied with Human Resource Network for a medical billing job 2 weeks ago. I have solid experience and everything needed to do the job. Once you apply, they call you, have you come in to fill out paper work, and interview with them like its urgent you get out to their clients. They tell you this story about how many jobs they have, and they want to get you out to work ASAP. You'll spend about an hour and a half doing their paper work and interviewing. Then they tell you they will process your application and start looking for work or interviews to send you.
They post job adds on job sites almost daily.
Don't bother calling them. I have called multiple times (once a week), I got the run around from them. Told they are still processing my application, and they will call me, once they find something for me. Then the story turns to the song and dance, "We are trying to match you up with the perfect client. When we find one WE WILL CALL YOU". In other words don't bother them. Other agencies ask that you call them once a week to check in but this place does not want to be bothered.
I have responded to 2-3 jobs they have posted on their Website that would be perfect with my background and no calls from them even to acknowledge they are doing anything. They act like I am a bother when I tried to call them to follow up. Not sure if it is because I am a male or if the jobs they advertise are just "ghost adds" that don't really exist. Prior to me applying with this agency, someone told me this place won't do much of anything unless you are a MA or medical receptionist. I guess that rumor is true. They like to list billing jobs as "urgent" or "need ASAP". This is not true. Don't believe them, because chances are they wont call. They blow you off in a polite and professional manner.
With my background, experience, and work history, I would have been able to make HRN and any of their clients happy. However, they don't want to give anyone the chance. I felt like an imposition when I called to check in and follow up. Not sure how they stay open, when all they do is collect your personal information and ignore you afterwards.
It should be illegal for these agencies to post "Ghost ads", call you with a sense of urgency to get you in right away, and have you give them your personal info just to make some type of quota. These type of places waste time of those people who are ready, willing, and needing to get to work. I could have been at a real interview. Instead, I postponed it and went here, because they just had to see me so quickly... For nothing.
Oh yes!! At the end of your initial visit, they tell you to call them if you find employment so they don't keep looking for a job for you. Really?!! They don't like talking to you when you call to be proactive in working with them. read more
