| - NEVER AGAIN.
I've worked with Robert Half in other states, and it was an okay experience, though you can feel a lot more like a commodity than a person. This location, though, is a joke. If this is how all Robert Halfs are now, it would explain why I'm suddenly hearing radio commercials for them - they can't stay in business doing business like this.
I unknowingly applied to two different recruiters for two different jobs they'd posted in various places on the internet. One ignored me entirely, the other emailed me at 8pm, attempted to rescind the email, and then called the next morning. We went over my resume and the position in great detail, and she urged me to come in for a meeting that afternoon to go over possible openings that fit my resume. I thought the phone call went well, and expected to hear about some of the 10-12 accounting positions that I mentioned over the phone that were currently listed on their website and that matched my skils/experience.
So after an hour drive, and after paying to park, I'm told my recruiter will see me now, and am placed in an empty room for 15 minutes. She comes in with a folder with loose paper inside and a tablet. Doesn't make eye contact, doesn't shake my hand, nothing. She had NO JOBS lined up to discuss with me, but mentioned two in her folder that were not even remotely suited to what I do. She had not prepared anything based on the 20 minute phone call we had just had that morning. She was clueless about the other email/application I'd sent in, though we had discussed it over the phone. She went over exactly the same experience/skill set information we had discussed on the phone, said she'd discuss openings with her colleagues to see what they had for me and call me back in a day or two. And she added she'd have someone from Accountemps contact me the next day as well.
Complete waste of my time and fuel, and I never heard from Accountemps.
A week later, I had a job offer on my own, after never hearing back from her or any other recruiter.
In the two weeks since then I've received three calls and an email, and despite having told each one of them that a) I found a job on my own already and b) I'm not interested in working with them and c) please remove me from their list of candidates to contact and d) being told that they will remove my name, they have not stopped.
There seems to be no communication and no follow through in what they do in the Phoenix location. Conversely, I did work with Headfarmer as well, and they were fantastic. Truly professional, very pleasant, transparent about what their clients wanted and what they can do for you, and the follow through (returning phone calls, interview prep, negotiating, checking in after the fact, etc) is top notch. So not only is Robert Half doing a poor job, their competition far surprasses even what RH claims to do.
