Robert Half Reviews

As a local employer who worked with Robert Half, my experience working with them was deeply disappointing and ultimately not worth the investment. What was presented as a professional recruiting partnership quickly turned into a one-sided arrangement that heavily favored their interests over ours in spite of multiple conversations over the supply of unqualified candidates.

The recruiters and advisors that work here have absolutely no integrity, loyalty or stewardship. They are only trying to make a check. It's about them only. They will offer you on a temp to permanent assignment. You will work for 4 weeks and then they contact you indicating there is a financial issue.

We used Robert Half in West Palm Beach, FL to find a Controller for our business. The person they placed with us was a complete imposter. He caused so much damage to our accounting department, we are now having to pay much more than we have budgeted to have a REAL accountant fix everything he destroyed in 2025. Robert Half not providing any kind of refund as of yet. We are extremely unhappy with their service and will never use them again.

11 years ago, I applied for a job with this con artist company. I never went for an interview or worked for them. This morning, I received a group text message, showing my phone number and other recipients' numbers, begging for work! This is unacceptable! I'm filing a better business bureau complaint! My number shouldn't be available to others.

who was micromanaging and rude and disrespectful towards me. The entire time of my. After I expressed concerns to this agency, my assignment was cut short.

I had been with Robert Half for over 2 years now. They always have jobs available. But they never want me to work at the jobs that I'm qualified for. They always have some excuse and why I can't do the job. But when I apply for the job myself through the company, they want me to work there. So I don't understand what Robert has problems then. At that when they finally found me a job after 2 years they told me the position would be. I would be on the computer mainly. And I would also be taking orders from the warehouse like general labor innocence, but it's for a shipping clerk. So they told me it was temp to hire but when I got there The company told me they were closing down in In January. So it was never temp to hire, it was just temp, they could have just been Honest about it, but then the position I had to do when I got there was nowhere near what they said.

This company continues to disappoint. Recruiters have poor communication skills. I’m not sure who hired them, but it’s safe to say, a company who hires these type of recruiters, aren’t going to be able to recruit good people. I’m not sure what company would look at these reviews and actually hire them. Do not recommend.

I called Robert Half as I needed someone to do my books while we had no coverage. We explained what we needed, they told me $80/hr and then charged me 89$/hr. They recommended (placed) this person who to my surprise (after the fact) had never been vetted in a real life situation and he did not meet our expectations. The only offer they made was to remove him which meant the few days that he had of training from my exiting person, would have been completely lost, so I requested that you send someone in to take a look at what he was doing and see if he could help and that person showed up a day late, and did not add value (that coming from the Robert Half person already here) and dismissed himself at the end of the day. Where was I to go from there?

I have applied to over 25 positions and no one reached out. So, I reached out to this agency for weeks, calling three times each week. Finally, during the third week, a representative referred me to the accounting team. No one reached out to me, so I called again the next week. A man from the accounting team called me to set up an interview. He acted as if he couldn’t do the interview at that moment, but he scheduled the appointment an hour later. During the interview he found out that I was crossed trained so I guess he didn’t feel comfortable sending me out. I have a MBA and I learned pretty fast. He stated that he was going to refer me to another department.

Highest price in industry yet do not properly vet candidates for specific job. We believe the references were bogus. Excessive emails to employer almost daily. We requested someone with MS Office proficiency and experience scheduling. We got someone with no computer skills, poor speller, frequently late to office and had the nerve to ask if she could work from home despite most of the tasks requiring on site presence. We paid $39/hour for an employee that was a $5/hour candidate. We were also inundated with emails from Robert Half. We will never use them again.

We hired Robert Half to place a Senior Tax Accountant during a critical time for our CPA firm and paid nearly $20,000 in fees. Unfortunately, the candidate they referred lacked the necessary qualifications and public accounting experience. More concerning, after we raised performance concerns with our recruiter—well within the 90-day guarantee period—Robert Half disclosed our feedback directly to the candidate without our consent. This breach of discretion completely undermined the working relationship and led to the candidate’s resignation mid-tax season.

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 **.

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.

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 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.
