Robert Half Reviews

Don’t even waste your time. I’d give this company 0 stars if I could. They seem promising at first but never get back to you, they don’t follow up with you. You have to follow up with them. Absolutely no communication.

Robert Half works for the employers, not the employees. I got what I was expecting, a recruiter that didn’t care about me personally. I emailed him several times for help with onboarding questions. I went from having a job lined up, to not having a job lined up anymore. I changed personal plans, and borrowed equipment. It was a disappointing and unprofessional experience, I will not be using Robert Half for my hiring needs in the future.

Debbie **, recruiter, called me about a position. Everything was great, she texted me and called me consistently, keeping a close tab and communicating about the job. I guess I didn't get the position because after my interview she just ghosted me. I get we don't always get hired but at least send me a message or email letting me know. That is the only thing I disliked about this staffing agency!

It’s been 3 weeks and not a word. I called back, spoke with a guy, believe or not he didn’t ask me for any of my information. Terrible! Don’t know how they’re still in business. I’ve applied for approximately 30 to 50 jobs a days. (I hear crickets)

They initially try to help you, but once they can’t find anything suitable, they tend to ghost you. I’ve reached out to several people at Robert Half, but none of them responded after the person who was supposed to assist me went silent.

Unfortunately, this is the worst experience I have ever had with a recruitment agency. Overall just lazy, unprofessional, and full of excuses. They just don’t want to work or help you even if you are super experienced. Don’t go in the summer, they will not help you.

I filled out paperwork, sent in my background check. Got a text few days later saying they have not gotten my background check, replied to the text and called and left message. Did that for 3 days, no reply no acknowledgement. The got a message saying they could not get in contact with me.

No way to call my local branch (except with extensions). No ID given by phone reps. Supervisor denied giving me even his location. No number given for corporate office, or management to call back and no way to make complaint online - only way is by SNAIL MAIL! Supervisor flagged me as a possible fraud call out of spite and as a result it took 30 minutes to make a trade when I called back!!! UNBELIEVABLE!!!

Robert Half required me to sign many documents electronically through a vendor called DocuSign. DocuSign creates the documents on its own server, and you can download them as .PDF documents. I have done this many times without a problem. I completed all the documents yesterday for an assignment to start in 2 days. I can see them in my browser and opening my .pdf document viewer on my desktop. (I have two - one is Windows 11, the other is Ubuntu Linux. I was able to view the .pdf views on both.)

Initially, they act like they care about you to get you to go through the long, stressful process to become an “eligible employee”. You get placed on an assignment and have issues, so you attempt to address the issues - they act like it’s your fault - even though there was not sufficient training. So now you’re miserable going into your assignment each day AND have no support (although they guarantee they’re there for any issues that may occur). My assignment mutually ended between myself and the company contracted with Robert Half.
