Misleading contract terms Overlooked applications Recruiters that don't follow up Worked with Aquent to secure a my first contract opportunity earlier this year. Was initially attracted by the competitive pay and the promise of a year-long, full-time contract. However, the actual experience turned out to be quite different. The contract turned out to be a month-to-month basis, ending at five months, contrary to the year-long commitment I was initially assured of by the recruiter. When the contract eventually ended, Aquent offered no support in my job search, though I qualified for several new opportunities since. I have applied to those opportunities through Aquent's internal job portal, with most managed by my initial recruiter, and I have only heard from one other agent so far over the course of my three month search for a new position. I don't recommend if you are in active search of a new job.
