Robert Half Reviews

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.

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.

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.

Was given company to work for and training provided, was there approximately maybe 1 full day and let go. I phoned Robert Half agency right away, in parking lot left voicemail with Eric Lea still as of today no call back. No sufficient training given. I advised supervisor at interview I did not know system would need training. Very strange on both sides - Robert Half, Eric Lea and Hach, Janis **. Wouldn’t recommend either.

This review is regarding Robert Half Staffing, RH has really gone way down from what they use to be when I first started with them. The recruiters they have working there are VERY unprofessional! If there's a problem or issue they run and hide, won't answer emails, voicemail or texts. They're rude, have no class or respect. But they want you to be top-grade, top-notch! It's ALL about the $$$.

These people need better recruiters. Mine hired me then a few days later wanted to contact my references for bureaucratic ** nonsense. (Spoiler Alert: References come before being hired.) I told her I respected their time too much to drag them into such **. They are marketing agency owners! She told me I needed references before starting work. I told her if I lose the job, so be it.

I submitted application, was contacted by Ms. Jasmine ** (Jasmine ** Sourcing Specialist, Strategic Accounts/Healthcare Talent Delivery Center/@roberthalf.com) who indicated that she had found a position for me with a company in Arizona and that based on my experience I qualified for the same. She even indicated that if I had any questions to feel free to contact her, she provided her phone number. She indicated she would be sending my resume to the company, Waited a few days called Jasmine, LVM, no response, sent her an email, no response other reps were sending me the same info, about the company who was hiring, but they couldn't move forward as she had already contacted me, called her again, lvm again, sent her another email and no response.

I tried to use this company to help me find a job in a specific job market. They not only IGNORED emails, they would make empty promises about following up, calling and sending applications. The people are nasty, disrespectful and unprofessional. Specifically the recruiting department in the Legal field. The recruiters were not punctual, and would say they'd call and then forget and never reach out. This company sucks so much, if I could give it 0 stars I would.

RUN RUN RUN... HORRIBLE!!!! Company to be associated with. They make promises that they cannot keep, the temps are supposed to get paid every week well that changed as of Dec. 2022. Now it's every 9 plus days, it took 2 weeks for me to get paid for the week of 12-19th. When you call to inquire about your paycheck you are treated as if you're stealing money, they speak to you rudely, unprofessional manner, refuse to answer any questions,, they send you an automated response via email. Never mind trying to get any answers.. There are other Temp agencies out there, do some research..

Trash company. Don't expect anything useful from them. Stay away from them unless you think you got too much time to waste. They are very rude and unprofessional, like they never reply to your messages despite being seemingly interested in you.

I hired Robert Half a few years ago to hire an employee. We paid $15K for this service. Just found out that this long term employee is leaving for another position. He did not request this position from Robert Half instead, he was approached by Robert Half. This is quite unethical practice. Thanks Robert Half. Can I have the 15K back now or will you find me a replacement employee?

My non-profit organization used Robert Half for contract HR support for several months. We then hired the contract worker, and paid Robert Half's "finder's fee" of over $15,000. When the employee quit after only 3 weeks, Robert Half refused to refund any of the finder's fee. Horrible customer service, and we will never use them again!

I used them in Houston to hire an administrator person. They charge more than any other company and give guarantee which as it turns out is bogus… After hiring a seemingly qualified person… It became clear very quickly that this person was not only incompetent, but not very bright and insubordinate. The person was not qualified the way that they had promised, was hopeless at administration, kept getting things confused, made lots of mistakes and couldn’t take correction. Basically a mess. When I went back to get them Replaced consistent with the guarantee that they had made, They refused to honor the guarantee and charged me for all the time that this Incompetent candidate had spent with me. In other words I paid over $10,000 to them for an incompetent person and they didn’t make it right. I wouldn’t use them again if my life depended on it.

Do not expect any kind of professional curtesy, service or follow up. Managerial staff members are very unprofessional as they do not return messages or follow through on completing intakes for registering you, etc. I have tried to reach them for months by phone and email and cannot get anywhere. By the tone of the other reviews, I guess I am better off not working with them. THEY DO NOT CARE! Very Disappointed!

At first everything went well. I was prepped and got help practicing for an interview which I truly appreciated. I interviewed with an German exports company and got the job. Everything went downhill from there. The job was the worst I have ever worked at in my life, gossiping, favoritism, bullying and racist. When I reached out to Robert Half saying I wanted to quit, they did nothing to actually help me. There was no weekly check-ins with me either like they said they would do.
