    I recently had an unfortunate experience with a recruiter from Robert Half named Klaudia C. She came across as curt throughout the conversation and instructed me to expect an email from her with further details about the job. Despite confirming my email—which is clearly listed on my resume—multiple times, I never received any follow-up communication. She also scheduled a call for the following day, which did not happen The lack of follow-through and professionalism was disappointing and not reflective of the standards I would expect from a firm with Robert Half’s reputation.

    I had an extremely disappointing experience with Robert Half Agency. They conducted a background check before even offering an interview or employment, appearing to prioritize their own benefit rather than genuinely working to place me in a job. I was informed of an opening for a one-month-and-two-week position, with the possibility of an extension. However, before they would place me in the role, they insisted I complete the WOTC survey. The recruiter I work with was Julio **.

    After reviewing the survey, I realized it was not relevant to me and declined to complete it. Following my decision, the agency abruptly withdrew the job placement offer. They wasted my time with numerous emails and phone calls, only to back out when they couldn't use my participation to secure a tax credit. Their approach was deceptive and self-serving, prioritizing their financial interests over ethical hiring practices. If you're looking for a transparent and trustworthy employment agency, I strongly recommend seeking alternatives that genuinely support job seekers rather than exploiting them for financial incentives. I would not recommend this agency to anyone!

      This review is specifically for Robert Half's DC team. I've been contacted by Yodit who hasn't found any potential roles. But additionally, ghosts you if you reach out or have any questions. Seeing the other reviews, this seems like it's common across many recruiters and teams at RH. Absolutely one of the worst recruiting agencies out there. Completely unprofessional, lowball you, and ghost you if they don't have anything. I would give 0 stars if I could. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere if you're serious about getting a job.

      I used this company back in January. The recruiter from the Boston office that “helped” me was very unprofessional. They sent me to a temp job that was not a good fit for me at all. In fact, when I told her it wasn’t a good fit, she developed an attitude and asked something along the lines of whether I was telling the truth and literally hung up on me after I said yes and explained my reasons. Why on earth would I not tell the truth about something like that? Avoid this company or at least the Boston office. I’m sure other companies will take the time to work with you, assess your needs and match you with a company that is a good match for all parties involved. I really believe the only thing she cared about was her commission.

      Steer clear if you care about your digital footprint, they refuse to process deletion requests. Never found any work through them, but when I found another job and wouldn't delete my account out of their systems through their automated tool (which they intentionally make difficult to find, had to be directed there by someone in support, who I might add wasn't even the support agent responsible for those requests as the first agent I spoke with had no idea how to process the request or direct people to their tool beyond a simple 'oh we have to retain your info'.) Spoke to a Mae in support who was excellent, but she only helped me out of courtesy as she wasn't even responsible for the type of requests I submitted. When using this tool it denied my claim to remove my account, citing a loophole of my State's law that allowed them to skirt around any reasonable deletion request.

      When their privacy team got back to me it appears they copy pasted a standard 'no we're required to keep your data, you can deny cookies and shut off email if you want, but otherwise go away' email without really addressing anything. I don't have a million dollar legal team or anything, but I intend to lobby my Congressman to have this particular loophole closed so they can stop holding my name, email and data hostage. Read their terms of service carefully and remember the old saying "If you pay for a service, they provide you with a product. If they provide a service without you having to pay, you are the product".

      This review is for Elijah ** at SH in San Jose. Your professionalism, attention to detail, and communication were outstanding. I wasn’t sure about signing on to be a full-time engagement professional. But you acknowledge my stretches and work experiences. Then walked me through the seamless process. Once you placed me at my first assignment. You made sure to be there to welcome me with the client the first day! You also checked in weekly to see if I needed anything. Many thanks for creating a transparent and efficient recruitment experience. I’ve worked with many recruiting companies for many decades. And I would highly recommend your service to anyone seeking top-notch Recruiter.

      I also wanted to add that while I was deciding if I should be a full-time EP. You had championed me to your colleague Sam ** and Chris **. Who have worked so hard to land me a few interviews. Not only has your team worked hard for the clients but you guys also work hard for the candidates. I’m grateful to be a part of this great organization. Keep up with the good work!

      I was contacted by a Robert Half recruiter while I was not actively looking for employment opportunities. I got two interviews in with the company. After my second interview, I called and emailed my recruiter as I was told to do. She never answered and I never heard back from her again. I was not given any sort of feedback or even told that the company didn't want to move forward in the interview process. I was just left to wonder. This was my first experience interviewing in years and I am shocked by the carelessness of recruiters and the complete disregard for my time considering I wasn't even the one to reach out in the first place. Very negative experience unfortunately.

      If I could give Robert Half zero stars, I would. I visited their Robert Speck office in Mississauga, and the place was completely empty. The receptionist asked me to email her my resume, promising to forward it to the recruiters. Despite following up three times, I haven't received a single response. Save yourself the trouble and avoid this company.

      Andrea and Ethan are absolutely the best! I encourage anyone looking for employment to contact them. They will definitely work hard to find you employment. I truly appreciate these two and RH as a whole. Thank you.

      Don't waste your time. They never get back to you. Even after how many times I apply under their website. Nonsense recruiting website. Even when they posted their opening positions through indeed, they won't even review it.
