Robert Half Reviews

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.

My first position was great, so I kept coming back thinking they were a decent company. I was very wrong. My time with RH was marred by rude receptionist, missed staffing appointments, and missed callbacks. I was constantly told incorrect wage amounts, job duties, wrong working hours per week and wrong working schedule.

Prepared to forfeit about 40% of your pay to vampires? Robert Half took almost HALF of a contracted hourly pay rate. RH paid me 17 per/hr for a 30 per/hr job & collected 13 per every hr I worked. RUN!

My personal experience with RH International/Robert Half has been nothing more than a moral catastrophe, for lack of more realistic terms, on their part. I possessed at the time over 15 years of experience in medical diagnostics and medical equipment sales, when one of their local managers in their Miami/Blue Lagoon office stated: "...I know of a great used car sales opportunity for you with such experience." Such an irresponsible statement from one of their managers sent a shock through my system, and at that moment, shattered not only my perceived faith but my trust in a national company. It is a disgusting and reprehensible experience of their managers, and it is also a display of their contempt and disdain for anyone with more education than their immediate employees, and, especially their managers.

Yes I just experienced a horrible experience with them. Long story short I killed the interview, Direct company had me ready with onboarding and everything. My recruiter ** up my ssn and email in their "new system" and kept saying I was the first to go in. **!! So 2 weeks went by as her "lead" or supervisor was on VACATION and got back the day before the fingerprints had to be in. I kept asking them to show proof of what email they used and why was my SSN WRONG???? No comments....

Eoin (the division manager at Robert Half) is very professional and helpful and I enjoyed working with him. I am impressed on how fast he helps me get the job that I am looking for, and how he provides me with the right information to succeed, and always keeps me informed throughout the whole process. In fact another agency had told me they were going to see the same client about 2 months ago but did not get back to me after that. I guess the client must have liked Eoin more for his professionalism.

A recruiter from this branch of Robert Half (RH) reached out to me about a couple of different opportunities. I was not actively looking for employment at that time. Two of the roles I discussed with RH resulted in interviews being scheduled, but ending in 2 very different ways. The first company I was scheduled to interview with cancelled the interview without any reason (per RH employees) and RH had no idea WHY the interview had been cancelled. Their only comment was .."I don't know why they cancelled, but the CFO must be very busy with a lot on his plate". I had no further follow up from them about this position.

I received a call from a Robert Half rep on a late Friday who works with their legal clients. She stated she would call me back on a Saturday, which in all my years I’ve never heard of any company calling on a Saturday. Once speaking with the female rep we went over my resume instead of telling me she would be briefing me on my interview skills. She came across as harsh and rude. Then she began to talk down like she was giving me the homegirl speech. I do know she was a recruiter in Atlanta covering the Charlotte North Carolina area.
