I had the misfortune of running into yet another crappy recruiting firm; this time in the form of Kforce and a recruiter named Peter.
I should have been suspicious as soon as I spoke with said recruiter. From the boastful monologue he gave me when I was first contacted, you would have thought he had placed every manager and executive in a 50 mile radius at their current positions. He might have even invented the Internet for all I know...
Anyway, I had to go through the standard bs and go to Kforce's office so they could tell the client they had "pre-screened" the candidates. I was then set up on an interview, didn't like the company and its paltry benefits/low salary, and had to listen to a diatribe about unrealistic expectations and how I should take the job because it would insult his client. Luckily, I never heard from Peter again once I officially declined the offer.
Suffice to say, I will never work with this recruiter/company again. If you do happen to cross paths with them, I strongly encourage you to look out for yourself and your best interests because the recruiters at Kforce surely won't. read more
