    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.

    I had worked with this agency for a while .. Recruiters come and go in this type of business so much. Many years ago this agency was super. Good recruiters and plenty of work and I was always working top level executive jobs. This particular location has been crap. Recruiters don't follow through. They tell you one doesn't have the experience to be considered for an executive position when the experience has been listed on a resume! The type of work I had been sent out on was way below my level. My assignment to work for a company that is supposedly the largest workspace company. I worked with a frigging office manager there

    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.

    After a month later, I get contacted by this recruiter again and am told that the office manager from that company was closing out my account and she tried to tell me that I wasn't doing my job, etc. I couldn't even fathom how an agency can say such a thing. My jaw dropped and I immediately decided to out in a complaint. The complaint backfired and this agency said they could not work with me anymore due to the review I had left. So don't go with this agency at all. I had been targeted from the get-go. Deceiving and horrific experience. I told them that they were awful and incompetent individuals who lack professionalism and don't support their employees. They asked me if there was anything I needed. I told them "I don't need anything from you. Goodbye."

      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.

      I was strictly doing general labor but I felt like I was lied to the whole time. I didn't like doing what I was doing, but I needed money. So I stayed then I only had been there for about 3 to 4 weeks And the company couldn't tell me that they had certain policies, and I had been following the policies that Robert half told me to follow and apparently they were all wrong. So they fired me because of the pretense that robert half gave me and not what the company should have trained me to do, like they were supposed to.

      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?

      So yes, I needed to keep him for a bit so we would not lose all of the crossover information we had, again, he is a bookkeeper, not even a general accountant. I cannot blame him, he just isn’t capable. I asked Angel to reconcile A/R and A/P last week, we have met with him the last two days looking for a reconciliation of A/R and A/P and they are not complete, when we met this morning, they still weren’t complete and we pointed out 5 accounts that needed reconciling, he reached out to two of them and then started reconciling a credit card statement with a few hundred dollars on each when we have no idea if a major customer ($90,000 invoice) has not paid us since June! His lack of either attention or ability has had us paying late or not paying at all and resulting in our credit being shut off and almost lost our insurance coverage due to non-payment. Frustrating.

      Again, can’t wait for his next assignment. I think you will have confirmation. Thank you for being clear that you have washed your hands of our issues. We will cut our losses and remember not to do this in the future. Above is the letter I sent which was unanswered and told they had done all they could, their only solution ever suggested was to remove the person, with no replacement options, ridiculous!

      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.

      No one from that department contacted me because he never actually reached out to the department. After a couple of days passed, I called the agency again to speak with someone in the department he thought I’d be a better fit for. I was transferred and given that person’s email as well as leaving a voicemail. She contacted me and said no one had reached out because I was still listed under the accounting side. I explained that the representative from the accounting department had referred me to her. She said she would contact him and get back to me.

      She then sent an email saying she would be out of the office and would follow up when she returned. Why not give my file to your co worker.? You rather for me to wait even after 4 weeks of waiting. I need a job, the bills are not waiting. You have a job. I was told that this company was professional, in my experience, I don’t see how?

      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.

      Robert Half issued a partial refund, but only if we signed a sweeping legal release. Their response lacked accountability, and the financial loss and disruption to our operations were significant. We made every effort to resolve this professionally, but Robert Half declined to offer a fair resolution. Their handling of this situation was not just disappointing—it was unacceptable for a firm that markets itself as a premium recruiting partner.

      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!
