Unfortunately, the first job was not what I wanted, but they didn't find fault with me and continued to place me on a regular basis for 2-3 days at a time. Steve even emails me in the morning before he gets to the office to let me know he is on the lookout for me. They coordinate well between offices and I just got a call from Angela who is placing me in a position for 2 weeks with the possibility of full-time, permanent placement. I have tried to coordinate with other agencies, but they are unresponsive and take way too much time to contact me when they do reach out to me. Pro Staff recruiters are professional, timely, and good, kind people. I highly recommend this group!

Recruiter vs Agent…read more It was the first time in 20 years that I needed to find a new job, I figured I could just overcome the odds by sheer tenacity and indomitable grit. Months has gone by using this methodology which turned my hopeful expectations to monotonous disillusionment.The worst part of the whole experience was feeling alone in my delima. During this period of time I enlisted the aid of several recruiter companies to assist me in finding something adequate. My expectations for these type of services was the same expectations I would have from the guy behind the counter at Starbucks. It is because of this status quo of this generic consumer orientated approach to most services out there that the experience I had with Riverpoint stands out so much. The best way to summarize my experience is feeling like I had Jerry Maguire representing me. Recently Dan Moberly help me find a new place of employment that is far better than what I could have managed on my own. The very least I can do is express my gratitude by posting my experience with them on my social media sites and hope other people looking for representation in the job market contact them.

When I first started working under Aerotek I was really excited because my recruiter was super…read morefriendly and I got the job a week after interviewing. What made it really hard to for me to still respect this agency is the way they handled everything when it was all said & done. First of all, I get that the job of a recruiter is to build their reputation by keeping hirees at jobs as long as possible & have a high success rate. However, if the job you send a person out to is not honoring their side of a contract it seems like common sense to get things fixed. The clinic I worked for never gave me my full 40 hours the 3 months I was there. When I mentioned this to my recruiter she said that's because every place considered full time something different. Which let's face it, is bullshit. Everyone knows 40 is full-time. Period. After that things just went downhill. The place was extremely unorganized and when my boss there realized I wasn't comfortable in following their "work ethic" she proceeded to complain to my recruiter at Aerotek that I was coming in too late. Which I'll albeit I had come in a couple of times late, but when you and literally everyone else in our department do the same thing & spend most of your days on your phone, I find it pretty hypocritical that that is what you want to focus on. To not make this longer than it has to be, my boss fired me one day and I didn't even know until my recruiter called me to let me know that night. Because my boss didn't have the decency to tell me to my face. She also did it to another girl who had started with me, and I'm pretty sure it was only because she didn't like her on a personal level. I tried to explain all of this to my recruiter when she called to tell me the news, but all she did was make excuses for them & figured "it just wasn't a good fit." I never felt like she ever tried to see my point of view. I know I wasn't blameless, but at the same time if you send me somewhere to work there, the least you could do is make sure the place is a respectable enough establishment to trust to treat its employees right. Luckily I was able to find another job right after on my own, but I will say this: your recruiter will be happy with you & follow up just as long as you're making them look good. The second something goes wrong at your job, regardless of if it was not your fault, they will drop you & not look back.
