The Creative Group has helped me land positions that I would never had found out about otherwise. And in two separate cases they've lead to full time positions. They are a great job hunting resource for two HUGE reasons: A. It's been my experience that many larger companies do not post openings for entry/mid-level jobs. The Creative Group is in direct contact with these companies and can help connect you to these "unlisted" positions. A lot of these positions consist of contract or temporary positions, but I've also noticed that many companies use contract periods as a type of extended hiring process/trial period instead of hiring straight from an interview. I figure it protects them from giving a job to someone who looks promising at an interview but performs less than expected. B. You have someone looking out for you. Job searching can be a lot of work, so having the help of 1 or 2 people can get you more leads than if you just did the searching on your own. My only knock against the system is that communication can get confusing. I don't think that's a knock against any specific party. Since you're working both with The Creative Group and an assigned company, phone communications can get mixed. Sometimes I would get a message relayed from my assignment to The Creative Group to me. Other times the assignment would contact me directly. Miscommunication is bound to happen. When you get an assignment make sure to check in with your agent at TCG. On many occasions my agent needed to hear from me how things were going at my assignment. In the end, it's really about extending your network to help you find new opportunities. The Creative Group is a great way to extend that network and get those feelers out to find the jobs that you're looking for. read more

I find that after 2 months of waiting for a new division director to help me at least secure an interview with companies within the Princeton/Plainsboro area as well as all of Mercer County, I am still in the same situation I found myself when I agreed with the writer that the Princeton office of Robert Half Finance and Accounting does not care about people over 40 years of age. I still agree with Carrie K. assessment which she made. I have not been contacted by anyone in the Princeton office for months now. I got a call from customer service and subsequently from other people higher up but still no calls for jobs I feel i am 100% qualified for. All I got from years of meeting new and different people at the Princeton Office was a 7 hr., yes 7 hrs., stinit with a local non profit. read more

Since I am moving soon I decided to give Robert Half a call and left a message with MELISSA ROBERTS in that office. I did provide her the job-id number and the information but she never called. I know they are bad at customer service but never new that they were this bad. Not to mention I did email them sometime in Feb regarding a job but nothing. Not even a email a phone call. The best experience I have had was with KForce I must say. read more

I had a good experience temping here. My recruiter placed me with a great company about 2 weeks after I interviewed. Submitting time sheets and setting up direct deposit was also extremely easy. I was hired permanently in less than a year by the first company I was placed in. Overall, I would recommend Office Team. read more

If you are looking for a job, do not waste your time with The Creative Group - they are a joke. When you register with them in the beginning, they make it seem like there are tons of jobs out there and they'll help you right away. After a little while, you'll notice that they no longer reply to your emails, although they have time to be posting on Twitter and other social media sites all day. They have done nothing but waste my time for the past six months - stay away. read more

I was recently contacted by RH about a direct hire position. The process went very quickly. I interviewed with Vince Forchetti who was very professional and personable and made me feel at ease. He felt I was a good match and set me up on an interview the following morning. He provided me with tips on the company, hiring manager, interviewing and thank you note techniques. I received immediate feedback and after a 2nd round of interviews I received an offer. Vince helped me negotiate a better salary/benefits then what was offered. Since starting the job I have received followup calls from RH to see if I was happy with the position and company. Overall my experience was great! read more

The recruiter asked for my CV, and then asked for a list of references, and places I was interviewing with. I provided this as I was told it was required. The recruiter then used the information I provided to do cold call sales to my references, essentially trying to get them to use Robert Half. And, not just one call...they called one person 4 times in a week. They also let this person know I provided the number, implying I gave them permission to hound them with sales calls. It caused some tension between me and this person, but luckily I could explain. And, oh yeah, the "job" they lured me in with was non-existent. This is a pattern with this company; they write up fake job postings to get people in, then try to get info to get leads. Don't provide them any information until you see an actual job description, with actual company name. In fact, don't give them anything until you have an actual interview lined up. You can use them, some have gotten jobs, but don't trust them! read more

i had a great work experience working with Ashley K out of the TCG Princeton office. She hooked me up with a local magazine who needed graphic support when one of their staff was out for a month. She was very clear when explaining details to me and represented me very well to the employers. I highly recommend this agency! read more

I was disappointed with my interaction with this office. I am an experienced professional with a graduate degree in Business Administration, but have never received a call about any opportunity where I met 100% of the requirements. Maybe if you're over 40, they're just not interested in presenting you to their clients. read more

When I first moved to New Jersey in 2010 I had a difficult time finding work. That Autumn I learned of the Creative Group and was asked to come in for an interview at the Princeton office. It was an intensive and thorough interview and they went to great lengths to make sure they understood what my previous job functions and skills were. I did not hear back from them as quickly as I thought I would so I followed up and found out the agent I interviewed with no longer worked there. I re-established the connection and also contacted them when I saw listings that seemed appropriate for me. My first two assignments were through the Woodbridge office and my contact was Kristin Skolnick. One was for 2 weeks and one lasted over a year. Both were with great agencies and the job requirements matched my skill set very well. It was nice to know that the various locations of the Creative Group work together. When I was available for a new assignment I let both offices know and continued to request consideration for possible opportunities. My contact at the Princeton office, Ashley Kresky, told me about several opportunities which did not come to fruition but within 3 weeks of the end of my last assignment she placed me with an agency that was a perfect fit for me. I was there for 14 months as a temp and have recently started working directly for them. The Creative Group was invaluable to building my career in New Jersey. Once I got started I had work for two and a half years with just a few weeks of down-time in between assignments. Now I have local experience, local contacts and a long-term position. I did earn a lower pay rate working through TCG compared to representing myself as a freelancer, but working with them opened up a world of opportunities that would not have been possible without them! I found them to be thorough, professional and very responsive to any questions or concerns I had. Working with the Creative Group has been a very positive experience and if I find myself without work in the future I will not hesitate to contact them again!!! read more

I've been with Robert Half International for close to 16 years and worked for multiple divisions in a number of capacities. I have an amazing management team that truly cares about the well-being of their employees, and always "has my back" when I need anything, and an excellent team of recruiters focused on finding the best resources for our clients. read more

Great people to work with friendly atmosphere and great opportunity to learn and comprehend new skills.

OfficeTeam was quick to find me an assignment within a few weeks of being laid off. I was put on an assignment for 3 weeks which turned into about 6 months. Thought I was hoping for a temp to perm position, this did fill in the gap for a time. The pay was not bad and the assignment I enjoyed. I would recommend OfficeTeam. read more
