Just to say the least unfortunately I've been unemployed for the last year and worked with several agencies to find my next role. I came across a role on LinkedIn where I connected with Tiana. Can I say she was the best recruiter I worked with by a mile. When we started working together I was truly impressed on how professional and transparent she is and also vocal that she would give her best effort in finding my next opportunity. To tell you the truth I wasn't a fan of Robert half bc of past experiences but Tiana and Erin (another employee of Robert half)definitely made me believe they are the best agency to find you a role where you can trust it is genuinely In your best interest. Thank you soo much Tiana. read more

Unfortunately, I have been extremely disappointed in Robert Half Chicago. I had such high hopes for Robert Half. I heard very good feedback regarding the recruiters. However, I was so disappointed in the employers, especially the Robert Half human resources department. There needs to be much better equal opportunity training and equal opportunities with the employers and Robert Half! I suggest equal opportunity training from the EEOC. Looking for work can be a full-time job in itself. I recommend looking into Linkedin, other staffing agencies, and federal government careers as alternative solutions. I also suggest furthering one's education as well. Luckily, there are greener pasters elsewhere! read more

Robert Half - Robert Half logo... - Employment Agencies Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I have used Robert Half multiple times in my career to get places with awesome companies. This last year, I have been unemployed and have had various Robert Half associates reach out to me with various roles. I even started working with an associate who claims to be doing his best to find me a job. Not only is that not true, the jobs he does send me are pretty far out of line from my background. But then I receive an email from a different associate who sends me a job right up my alley. Which is super exciting since I have been on the market for almost a year. But then I get told that the associate that sent me the job description can't work with me cause I am already working with a different Robert Half associate. I thought the entire goal on Robert Half was to place experienced workers with jobs that match their background. Not place experienced workers with specific associates that can't even respond to an email for a job I found online posted by Robert Half. I also thought their team's mission was to help. Not through you around between associates cause of commission they make on closing the deal. I don't care who I work with, I care to get a job. Is that too much to ask for?! read more

Robert Half Charged my organization $80 an hour for an "Accountant" who had only the most basic of accounting skills! Then, after the person left, they billed for an additional $7K! read more

If I could give less than a one star rating I would. I have been contacted by various agents from the company have had the initial intake calls with them. Each agent, has told me that my background and education is great and would be a great fit for some roles that they are currently working on. At the end of each call, the agent promises to send over these opportunities so I can review them and say yes or no to the that job. I have NOT received a single opportunity sent to after these calls. Additionally, when I follow up with those agents, I NEVER receive any response. Not only are they not responsive but then they ghost as well. To say I am disappointed, is a huge understatement. Based on previous interactions with them I have never had this much disrespect. Not only are they not helping me find a new job, but they are adding to the frustration of being unemployed. Being unemployed is hard enough, but being ghosted by a large recruiting firm just adds to the frustration and disappointment. read more

Matt Wojnar was phenomenal with his communication. He really made the recruiting process exceptionally pleasant. Also, while providing additional support on what exactly the client was looking for. For example, Matt would do mock interviews with you helping you navigate what you can work on to potentially land your dream job. Overall, he is excellent to work with and highly recommend anybody asking for him! read more

Well, well, Yelp. I have worked for Robert Half for a full year coming in September, two assignments, and two Recruiters. Both assignments were lovely, both recruiters are not. I called Christina back in August 2021 for placement and end up taking a last minute placement because her previous placement failed to show. She followed up a few times and that was that. I was on track to permanent placement but personal life intervened and I had to step away from the assignment rather abruptly. Some weeks later, I was given a second chance by Alberto. I was appreciative of that and thus is the ONLY reason they get a 2 star rating. I was slated for a June 1st termination from the assignment. The date came and went. No one communicated to me whether the contract was extended. I had to call/email around to see if I still had a job....no body called prior to the end date to go over other options that may be available when the current contracted ended. After getting confirmation that I was extended, the app did not reflect timesheets. Was fixed. The extensions for an extra 30 days. July 1st, AGAIN, no one reached out to let me know whether or not I still has job. I was irate with the CONTIONOUS LEVEL of non-communication and the nonchalant attitude when addressed about it. I asked to be emailed prior to the end of the assignment so that I could be prepared. Again the app was not updated. I was called into the office and was told that I did not need to expect regular communication with my recruiter...that I "just keep working the job until they tell me otherwise..." when the concern is literally that yall do not reach out to tell me ANYTHING, so why am I to believe that? BECAUSE I had no timesheet and zero confirmation that I was still an employee on assignment, I stayed home and waited for an update from Office Team. By the following day, They still had not fixed the time sheets but expected me to go into work... Since that, I was extended once more til July 29th. On July 29th, I was given notice that my contract would not be extended. Not by my recruiter. Not by my manager, but by my co-worker.... Since July 29th, it has been radio silence from Robert Half. I reached out a couple times and it is clear that I am being ignored. I find it incredible. Finally, get in touch with them today August 8th, 2022. Christina is still dodging me and Alberto makes it clear that they will get back to me when they want. When all I wanted to do was go over the issues with someone to come to a resolution. His energy was SO retaliatory. read more

This review is regarding Robert Half Staffing, RH has really gone way down from what they use to be when I first started with them. The recruiters they have working there are VERY unprofessional! If there's a problem or issue they run and hide, won't answer emails, voicemail or texts. They're rude, have no class or respect. But they want U to be top grade, top notch! It's ALL about the $$$. read more

When numerous other reviewers say this is the worst company they are truly not joking. I honestly do not know how they are still in business. They will never get my business whether it's from placing me somewhere or me hiring them for temporary assignments. They are what everyone says they are- disorganized, do not follow through, bombard you with positions and then ignore you and in my most recent experience with them- they even insult you. Take your business elsewhere, there are so many wonderful and smaller agencies that respect their candidates and actually have open and respectful communication with you throughout the whole process. read more

They prioritize with who they want to. I was with Robert half for 5 months before I got any kind of assignment. It was people who had just started a week before and already had an assignment. Also, they aren't very understanding when you become sick. They instantly don't believe you. It's like they are so worried the client they are working with is going to look at Robert half so bad because of any small little thing. Like oh this person isn't reliable because she's been sick. I was sick with what I thought was the stomach flu and (Lloyd) insisted I wasn't telling the truth and get a doctors note. Turns out I am pregnant, and I told them I needed another assignment other than a warehouse job where I'm getting up entirely too early. He simply just read my message and never responded. This company is insensitive and unrealistic to the things that usually happen in people's everyday lives. read more

Maggie M in the legal department is great! Super friendly and had job offers for me within hours. Highly recommend her.

This company is just useless. It's like the people here are a ghost. I have been searching for work since January and I thought I'd give them a try again since my friends in New York and L.A says that they're great and that maybe this one in Chicago has changed. Wrong! All you do is apply for " jobs" call and email these people and nothing. I do look for jobs on my own but having a so-called " staffing agencies" aiding me in my search should be useful but again nothing. I have sent so many of there so called recruiters emails messages I think I know the voicemails by heart. I can't with this place. The only time you get a response is when you either threaten to leave or compline to them and that doesn't even help. I though Lasalle Network was bad. This place has taken the cake and this is following my review from 2017. STAY AWAY!!!!! You will have a better chance of talking to a real ghost than people here. Just look at the reviews. read more

This time they contacted me about a job; the job turned out to be pure pretense for getting me to re-register for placement in the Big Resume Pile. The recruiter didn't even mention the job until I brought it up. Jayne Thompson's response was that the job didn't match my skill set. Here's a clue: my skill set is indicated on the resume RH already had and which I'd re-sent them before the call. RH is as phony as can be; every communication is a pretext for getting registrants for those positions that "are coming in every day." It's simply dishonest; nothing more complex than that to it. read more

Worked with Robert Half to hire our employees and had Kelsi as our main point of contact. She was absolutely incredible and throughout the process really honed in on the needs of our company. Together, we hired six amazing employees and could not be happier about the process. I would thoroughly recommend RH to anyone looking to hire a great group of employees! Kelsi is a rockstar. read more

Katherine from Robert Half is a dedicated hard-working technical recruiter that has gone many extra miles to help me secure a wonderful opportunity. I have been extremely impressed with her persistence, especially during a pandemic, to highlight my qualifications and experience to as many employers as possible. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would give her a 13. read more

If there was an option for zero stars I would rate them zero. They are so disorganized; I honestly can't believe they have been in business this long. They switch recruiters and don't even tell you. They give you a phone interview and tell you they will get back to you very soon. It never happens, you're just history. All they are concerned is about their commission. Please DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME ! read more

I want to be a recruiter! From my experience over the last six months, the job requirements at Robert Half are: (1) cold call people by trolling profiles on LinkedIn; (2) have get-to-know-you phone calls and in-person interviews for positions that don't exist; (3) forget to or neglect to follow up on a timely basis; (4) send job opportunities that do not fit the job seekers' needs (ie, sending job opportunities for paralegals to someone who isn't a paralegal), but do it randomly so it appears like a product of automation; (5) offer milquetoast apologies for ineptitude (maybe even offering to waste even more of job seekers' time by asking if they'll speak to senior management for free - as Gretchen has for years according to these Yelp reviews -- yet nothing changes?); (6) claim you've spoken to job seekers when you've never met them; (7) be introduced as "the best of our recruiters" and then never, ever reach out to a candidate. I can do this, guys. Sign me up. read more

I have been utilizing staffing agencies for a few years. I've been working with multiple agencies at the same time, about 7-10. I follow up weekly and I practice my pitch when speaking to the recruiters. OfficeTeam didn't have anything for me for some time but I kept reaching out and stayed on their radar. That's how I got placed. I worked with Stephanie Jackson then Chris Schulze then Matt Wojnar and finally, I matched one of their client's HR roles. I think it's important to speak to as many people as possible so they can get to know you. It worked for me and can work for you too. Matt was very good at selling my skills to the client and coaching me on the role's needs and expectations. I'm very pleased with his and the team's communication and follow up. They did move very fast which I appreciated seeing I've been out of work for about a month. I recommend them and hope you have the same good experience I had. read more

This company is a joke. I was ghosted by a recruiter who kept telling me I was perfect for numerous positions. They couldn't even get me an interview, because the positions they put me up for I was either too experienced or inexperienced for. In addition, I had to go to their office for an in person "interview" to sign paperwork, which could have been done over the phone. What really upset me, was being ghosted. After about the 5th job that did not go through, I stopped hearing from the recruiter. I followed up two weeks later, with no response. I followed up a week after that, and received a short response, indicating they would get back to me and never did. One of the recruiters manager, who I had spoken to had the audacity to contact me, as if we never met before, and ask me if I was interested in a job at Robert Half. Don't waste your time with any recruiter. read more

I cant really write a review yet because Im just getting started. I will say the initial phone screen and in person interview was cook. My only complaint is that they gave me a recruiter that is going on maternity leave like in a few weeks. This person has just go to know me, my strengths etc and now she is leaving and says that the person taking her place will have access to her notes of our interview? Really? Will this person go as hard for me as you are suppose to? Im not getting my hopes up but I also havent had much success with any of these agencies. I was hoping to have better luck with Rober Half. I wish I would have seen these reviews before I signed up. Stay tuned! read more

My journey with Robert Half starts about 6 years ago. I was in a pretty good position at a multi-billion-dollar company. In a short time I went from a contractor to pretty much the manager of IT as I was the only IT guy there & the official manager let me make all the business decisions while they just "worked" from home. I was planning to leave that company as my contract was up for renewal again when Robert Half contacted me. Laura K. spoke with me & setup an in-person interview with me about a "position" she had. Since she worked down the street from me I went in during my lunch break the next day. Upon looking over my resume she became confused & it was clear she didn't know IT AT ALL. Using keywords I structured my resume to center around a systems admin/data center engineer/network engineer, a position with typically makes $25/hr as a base. She seriously looked at my resume & told me she could only see me in intern positions from minimum wage to $12/hr & nowhere near $20/hr minimum I requested. At that point it was clear I'd been bamboozled. She had no job to offer me & just wanted me to come into her office to fill quotas, fish for information, etc. I laughed & told her that not only was I making more money than that at the time, but I had friends, associates, etc. that barely knew anything about computers yet were making $26/hr at places like the Federal Reserve. Her response was "well...lucky them." At that point I said "why am I even here?" & walked out. The next day I got a call from a software company that wanted to hire me. I passed their screening & interviewed for a $60k position A FEW DAYS after RHT. The hiring manager ended up getting hospitalized & that job fell by the wayside. I found out a couple of weeks later Laura K. of RHT ended up leaving IT recruiting as a whole and focusing on other areas which is good since she was a terrible IT recruiter. 7 months later RHT called me. They wanted me to come in for an in-person interview again. I went in & they made me fill out an ridiculous amount of forms. Once again I was just meeting with a recruiter to do something that could be done over the phone or on Skype which infuriated me because if I'm going on interviews, I want to speak directly to the hiring manager, not a recruiter looking to fill quotas. The recruiter could tell I was irritated & decided to speed things up, but I had to take a drug test. I went for a drug test the next day & shortly after they set up a phone call with the hiring manager. The phone call was 5 minutes & shortly after that they told me I landed the 4 week contract at a rate of $20/hr. Its a desktop refresh project where they are going from Windows XP to Windows 7 & giving 1200 users new machines. The contract team consisted of me (a senior tech), another senior tech, & a guy we found out was a cab driver who never even used a computer before nor had a job working with computers. The first two weeks on the job we sat on our behinds doing nothing as the client had no idea how to do a refresh & wasn't ready. Upon arrival they were still trying to setup the imaging server. They also had ordered extra memory separate from the machines so we had to install ram on at least a few hundred machines as they came in (they hadn't even been delivered.) There was no plan from the client & they were afraid to ask users for their passwords. After two weeks of doing nothing... the other senior tech & I took over the entire project, drew up a plan then forced their IT department to grow a backbone. Halfway through the project we found out the cab driver had anger issues when he tried to bully as well as fist fight us after a meeting where the client divided up the work. The senior tech & I elected to work on the next department's machines while the cab driver would work on the backlog. It literally didn't matter who worked on what as it was all the same, but the cab driver took offense to this. He also got enraged & tried to start a fist fight when the other tech was cleaning a PC a few feet away from him. A small amount of dust got into the room...he wasn't even allergic to dust. I reported him to RHT who was more concerned if the clients saw what he did than about our safety. Keep in mind, the cab driver was 6'5 ex-Romanian military. After no word for 2 weeks the cab driver just randomly quit & told us he found another job. I kept calling RHT to see if they had jobs lined up before my contract ended & received no response. During that time I interviewed with Google, CDW & a UK based company for positions with 80k salaries. About a month later RHT calls me with another position, a 3 day contract, something I told them NOT to give me & they drug tested me for. I go there, the client isn't ready & has no idea we were coming. They tell us to go home & on the way home the other tech, a white guy, tells me he wasn't drug tested. A week later RHT calls me about another job & wants to DRUG TEST ME AGAIN! I stopped taking their calls read more

These are the worst recruiters in the world. They have been unable to ever get me a job interview in 10 years. I've worked at plenty of places through other recruiters. They insist you come and meet them when there is not even a job interview available. The employees are all obnoxious and mentally challenged. read more

I scheduled a skype interview - my second - with a recruiter. I logged on to skype and waited for 17 minutes for the recruiter to log in. I later found out that the recruiter was called into a meeting with her manager. Why? What was so damn important that the manager couldn't wait until after the interview. This is the SECOND time this has happened. btw. Why did I have to do another video interview? How long does Robert Half Legal keep these video interviews? Furthermore: WHY? Video interviews. I'm signed up with other large agencies and have had in-person interviews with recruiters. What makes Robert Half Legal so special? read more

This place is like any other temp/direct hire agency. For those who haven't figured it out yet here's how it works. They get a notice to find a candidate for a position with a company they are contracted with. Before the position is even posted online they screen all of their current candidates and make calls to the ones that qualify. Then it is posted online as a marketing ploy to show companies, competing recruiters, and future candidates this is the type of positions and types of companies that work with us. However by this time the position has most likely been filled. If it's been 2 weeks since the posting it's long gone. *They will bring you in to talk to you further about your qualifications to see if you can fill a position that is not posted.* If you don't qualify then it's goodbye. However their not going to tell you no or get lost. They will string you along and make you wait for a call. This is with any temp agency. This happened to me. A position that wasn't posted but I qualify for. A classic bait and switch. Suddenly they don't have the entry level position in Healthcare accounting available for me but they do have an logistics position that they can't fill. This was my old career that I wanted to be done with. I needed a job so I reluctantly took it. Come to find out the job was for a small family run business that didn't know what they were doing. They were literally were the poster child for why people don't want to work for small mom and pop businesses. Mom and dad vs the daughters on how to run the family business. It seriously could have had its own reality show. I got out of there asap and Robert Half wanted nothing to do with me after that. That's fine because I want nothing to do with a company that posts a job that really isn't available and then tries to switch industries on me. read more

So though I am gainfully employed, I've decided to give these folks another go. Not as a temp to perm but direct hire. I can say they definitely made some improvements from the last time I worked from them. They now do their interviewing via video conference as opposed to doing a face to face which I definitely prefer and they take the time to listen to what you want and they have not tried to "low ball" me. I have not gotten any offers as of yet, but that doesn't bother me. I understand it's a lot more of a challenge with direct hire. My advice is to keep looking on your own and keep Robert Half as a supplement to your job search and you will be fine read more

If I could give them no stars, I would. I have had several encounters with them-all have been unpleasant. They never call back. They lie. They misrepresent. You are only important to them if they need something from you. DO NOT USE. read more

I'm not surprised that no one has given them anything but one star, and that most people wish they could give none at all. I reaffirm every one star review that was said here. The only way these people could possibly stay in business is that they only care about you if you're going to make a six figure salary. If not, like my mother who moved to Chicago hoping to find a job, they just completely ignore you. ALSO - they do lie, the recruiter my mother was working with ADDED something to her resume that my mother didn't have. So it looked like crap to the one potential, phone interviewer she had, as if my mother was the one lying. Since then they have ignored every email and call in the past four months. read more

Here's a letter I wrote to senior management after I terminated my position with the company (in full disclosure: without giving them notice). The content has been adjusted to ensure confidentiality of the project and the client. Robert Half Legal: The following is a list of issues I had during my time working with Robert Half Legal: False Pretenses. When applying for employment opportunities with Robert Half Legal I was looking for opportunities that would advance my marketability as an attorney working in a legal capacity. I agreed to this project under the false pretense that I would be working in the capacity of an attorney. Specifically, I was led to believe this was a document review project. It was not. I was later told I could, in no uncertain terms, market myself as an attorney in any capacity while working for this project. As an aspiring attorney, this set a bad tone for the rest of the project. Scope of work. This is a job easily done by individuals without their law license; a fact that was not lost upon management as a non- legally educated team was eventually pulled onto the project to fulfill that role. I was then re-focused onto work that had changed dramatically since I was originally trained on the project with no guidance, additional training, or leadership. Robert Half Legal has taken individuals with legal backgrounds and underappreciated their value and potential contributions. While this is admittedly a corporate problem in general, this treatment of employees, especially at staffing agencies like Robert Half, is an insidious and pervasive problem that leads to low worker morale and decreases quality of work: a fact I am sure the client will become aware of if they compare the quality of work done between the Robert Half Legal contractors, generally, and contractors from other staffing agencies. Contractor Disparity. Without naming other parties: other entry level specialists from other staffing agencies are paid $25/hr. Robert Half contractors are paid $22/hr for the same work, without clear methods to advance. At the end of the week, an additional $3/hr is an additional $120, pre-tax, a week. This rapidly becomes significant. Additionally, these other contractors are not required to constantly update their agency about assignments, nor are they required to approach their agency managers with questions and concerns. There is much better integration between the client and the other contracting agencies which all contribute to quality of employment. In fact, other contractors were able to change their scope of work, or at least add to their responsibilities, which never seemed to be a readily available option for the Robert Half Contractors. Basically, at the end of the day, for the same scope of work the disparity contributes to a lot of discontent. Finally, the treatment of individuals from different staffing agencies was very evident through both the quality of work generated and worker moral. Robert Half contractors have very low moral and very little incentive to invest in their work because of the unequal treatment. Lack of Transparency and Process. Certain individuals at Robert Half were "advanced" to QC, others were sent to the client's office, and others were placed into other scope of work. Certain individuals at Robert Half were properly interviewed with the client's management while others were not. As I'm sure you're aware, the contractors talk with each other. The lack of transparency from management led to a lot of misinformation, unclear information, and constant uncertainty, which I will also clarify next. Additionally, there are no specific policies or processes in place for simple things like taking time off. For example, I had a family emergency early on in the project and had to leave the country for a week. There was no clarity with how to get the time "authorized," if it was even necessary at all; and when I returned a week later there were no conversations or discussions about the changes that had taken place in the interim. I have seen people leave the project for weeks at a time. I have seen people leave egregiously early or arrive very late. I have seen people dismissed with seemingly no review or warning. There is no mechanism for evaluation for improvement or for recognition. There is overall a severe lack of process in place with regard to employment at Robert Half. And, I have worked other traditional document review projects before in the past, I am aware that is the modus operandi of your business. At the end of the day, when a fantastic opportunity presented itself to me I had no choice but to take it. My actions are a direct response to the inadequacies of Robert Half Legal, for all the aforementioned reasons and more, and my decision to immediately terminate my contract is a direct result of your company Robert Half Legal. Please notify your recruiters that I am no longer interested in other opportunities. read more

Was not impressed. I had to check in a couple of times for opportunities while there are other recruiters who were reaching out but the locations were not ideal for me. So, a few days after checking in, a division of Robert Half (Accountemps) reached out to me for a temporary role. I was interested in the position but would like the flexibility to work remote. He checked with the client and was fine with hybrid arrangement and he asked via email to call him. I called and left a voice mail and even followed up with an email but no response. I never heard back from the recruiter I am not sure what happened but I thought it was unprofessional. I would not recommend this agency. There are several staffing agency out there who are courteous and open to communication. read more

This place blows!! Before quitting my job to return to school I had worked with Robert Half to hire candidates at my firm. Being a publicly traded company they seemed reputable and a lot more professional than headhunters we'd used - no incessant phone calls, etc. Toward the end of my first year of law school I decided I wanted to temp for the summer. I called up RH who encouraged me to come in shortly before I was ready to work for an interview, etc. I went in, had a nice interview and told them the date I was ready to start work. They told me that they had all kinds of 2-3 month assignments for someone with a background in financial services and naively I believed them. Here's where things went down hill: *1 week before I'm ready to start working I call to check in reminding them when I'm free. The voicemail says to leave the particulars and your social in the message! Me thinks not, hey RH haven't you ever heard of identity theft? * A few days later I e-mail to follow up on my voicemail gently reminding them of when I can start work *1 week later after waiting with bated breath by the phone I call again and leave another message asking them to touch base. No response * 2 days after that I send another e-mail. No response. I'm getting pissed, I need a job as Family Feud has become my reason for getting up in the morning and I need to earn some cash! * 5 days later I send a pointed (translation: snotty) e-mail reiterating several times how disappointed I am in their level of service, attentiveness, follow up and follow through. Hey, I spent 10 years working in client service I know crappy service when I get it. A few days later the response comes and reads something like this: Sorry, we haven't been more attentive and didn't follow up sooner. Unfortunately, there just aren't a lot of part time opportunities right now. You really should consider putting your resume on Monster and Career Builder. Best of luck! Really? I went to RH because I didn't want to weed through crappy postings on Monster and CareerBuilder. How long would you have waited to respond had I not resorted to being mean? Kiss my ass Robert Half! read more

So I met my agent in November just after losing my job. Everything went well initially but later Mr. agent started trying his professional skills to low ball me. Once I did not agree (way lesser hourly rate) he ended the meeting with something like "you are on unemployment right?.. let it run out and I'll see you becoming desperate for any compensation." That being said I never heard from him. My review does not represent everyone at RH. I was reached by another lady after few months (via phone) and she told me that however she sees my application, my resume was no where to be found. She was nice enough to get an updated copy of my cv and said to be placing it in their system. All in all.. I never really got any lead from them. read more

I wish I had listened to the reviews that were posted here already when I was job hunting. I don't want anyone else to go through what I did with this company and be strung along for months. I originally met with Connie last year in early November and she gave me some tips on how to vamp up my resume. After doing so, she got me scheduled for a phone interview for the next week. It went great and an in-person interview was scheduled for the first week of December. I ended up meeting with the client twice that week. Both interviews went great and Connie had high hopes as well. She hinted to me several times that I likely got the job, but they still had a few things to do (finish up paperwork, someone in management was out of the office, etc.) With the Holiday season coming up, I knew it might be a while until I heard back. But, it seemed that Connie just disappeared. Every time I asked when I could expect to hear back, she gave me a time-frame for when an answer would be available. When that time rolled around - she wouldn't get in touch with me. I would go days before finally reaching out to her - playing phone tag, sending emails with no response. She never reached out to me herself. I would finally get a vague response from her days after I initially reached out. As a staffing agency, it is your job to keep in contact with the people you are trying to help. My experience with Connie is some of the worst HR or customer service experience I have ever encountered. Our correspondence ended after a 3 week time period of Connie ignoring me. She made no effort to contact me again about the job, nor did she reach out with other suggestions (something she promised she would do in the very beginning, should the original position not pan out.) read more

OK, it's a fact. "Staffing firms", "temp agencies", "job placement agencies", whatever you want to call them pretty much all blow. I mean, this is an entire industry built on bullshit. Not saying there aren't some good ones who do good work for people (I got my current job through one) but most of them are professional paper pushers. I have tried tons of these places and I thought I'd give this one a go, since it seemed pretty positive. I went way out of my way to go to meet with my "agent" who had contacted me about an employment opportunities. Everything goes pretty well. So interview time comes and I tell my guy to be straight with me. I tell him I can't take much time off to interview (since my company prorates time off). He assures me I'd be a "great fit" for the job and that I had a great resume with great experience. He tells me on Friday at 4pm that I should interview Tuesday at 9 -- Monday being a holiday. I pleaded for them to be flexible with me. He told me that job-hunting was hard and required "sacrifices" and basically to stop whining and get out of work somehow. I also told him that big changes were afoot at work and I needed to brief my boss. He acted like it was a huge deal that they might have to move some things around with the client, then finally told me that the client was just going to "go the easy route" and stick with the candidates he had already interviewed. OK, I know that agencies can't control who a company hires. But you don't take someone with difficult circumstances, get them to take time off, go all the way to the office, and then demand that they interview at an unreasonable time with no notice. Then after all that, when asking if there was any flexibility to be curtly told that there wouldn't be any, and lectured on what I needed to "put into" the job search. This is probably one of the worst agencies I've worked with and that's saying a lot, since there are some shitty ones out there. Stay away from these guys. Hey, at least my agent has a good, high-paying job pushing resumes of peons' like me around all day... read more

Robert Half, Is the worse agency I have ever worked for. I was on assignment for several months. I became ill I had to be off for a several weeks. I tried resigning due to be ill. They stated the company really appreciated me and wanted me to take a leave instead. I decided I would do that but didn't know when I would return but I communicated with Emily and Krystal by email and phone several times I also called to let them know what was going on. When I finally knew the exact date I left a message and email stating I have a return date and letter from my doctor. Next day I was let go by email stating no communication. I have several emails and phone history that I contacted Robert Half. This is a horrible company and they tried blocking me from ever working with a major company ever again. read more

HORRIBLE!!! Although the people I've spoken with are very nice, NOTHING else is. No follow-up, no call backs, nothing! You apply for a job that doesn't exist so they can get in more applicants. They NEVER return calls. You're told of a job, they supposedly send in your resume, and you never hear back on what happened, even if you call RHL back to see if they got a response - the answer is always "we haven't heard anything back yet." Don't they follow up to see if their applicant will be interviewed??? I agree with all the terrible reviews prior to mine. Don't bother going to them. I'm starting to think that they (all headhunters) are like this. They sure all act the same. UNHAPPY!!!! read more

Don't waste your time. The company is so big that you are treated as a number. You call in with your availability each week to someone's voicemail and rarely get a live person. I am more than qualified but never once received any correspondence from anyone. To add insult to injury you have to do their software testing which takes FOREVER....longer than more agencies. Do yourself a favor and find a smaller employment agency who actually knows your name and will help you. read more

I met with Elizabeth at OfficeTeam who was very energetic, professional and helpful. Unfortunately, the receptionists are quite rude and short with people (both on the phone and in person). Since I only *just* registered with OfficeTeam, I will have to wait to give more feedback. For now, I can say they are (mostly) friendly, responsive and professional. I recommend working with OfficeTeam. read more

I look on their site and apply for a job. Never heard anything. Tried to call them, but somehow they are in a 'meeting'. Send an email about the job I applied for, never respond to me. I don't know what happened, but the quality of service from this company has gone downhill. I appreciate that someone from Robert Half talk to me about this. read more

I lost my job, due to the pandemic. I was pretty bummed about that. I was contacted by Matt out of the blue. He offered me a six month contract several weeks before it was supposed to start. He stayed in touched once a week and had relevant documents sent up until the Friday before the start of the assignment. Then he went radio silent. He ignored my voicemail message and email. I sent a second email, and he finally responded. At that point, he lied and said he had been trying to contact me for a week. Bottom line: recruiters these days suck and will waste your time; use your contacts to get jobs. read more

The worst search firm there is. Do not use this agency. Ignore their messages and phone calls. It's not worth your time. This agency has the most unreliable and disorganized recruiters I've ever worked (or rather not worked) with. They reach out to me through LinkedIn and directly through phone calls without notice nor appointment -- multiple recruiters at the same time. And when I answered their messages and set up a time to speak properly about positions, they never call on time, usually more than 20 minutes late. And that is the reason we were never able to connect. I've never had any recruiter calling me later than 5 min within scheduled time. This got to be an industry first. And it's not with just one recruiter here but multiple, I'm glad to provide you their names if you message me, so you don't waste your time with those who think their time is much more valuable than yours. (I'm quite compelled to post their names and titles right here. But I'm giving a chance for the customer service to make it right.) Update: Since this review, I received an overwhelming number of messages and calls from different Robert Half recruiters regarding some exaggerated opportunities. Same bad practice. Btw, I'm not giving my name and phone number so RH can harass me more!! If you are looking for a job, actively or passively, there are many much better alternatives out there. Robert Half got to be the worst of the worst. Feel free to DM me for recommendations. read more
