Pros

None stay away scam staffing firm

Cons

They brought me in to their office in Irvine, CA to interview with a sorry recruiter claims to be a technical recruiter. Acted like a used car salesman. Was all over the place and drilled me on where I interviewed and with who. He wanted names and numbers too. He said he was using me to get names and numbers to help me out and not to double submit me. Ya right, when I told him I don’t remember he was like ok what about hiring manager you worked with. He boldly told me that he wants me to give him leads. After he wasted my time for an hour. They did not even validate my parking. It cost me $14 dollars and never heard back from him again. I emailed him and called him no reply. Scam staffing firm

Pros

Not much to say here, unfortunately.

Cons

In the technology practice, the unwillingness to adapt to a rapidly changing market can no longer be ignored. Too many decisions continue to be justified by the mindset of "this is the way we've always done things," even when those approaches are becoming less effective or counter-productive. While competitors evolve their business models, recruiting strategies, and client engagement practices, continues to be reluctant to challenge long-standing processes and assumptions. The impact of this resistance to change is becoming increasingly visible in the market. Clients and candidates have more options than ever before, and perceptions of the organization are being shaped by experiences that no longer align with current expectations. Without a willingness to listen to feedback and embrace new approaches, there is a real risk of causing lasting damage to the company's reputation, employee retention, and long-term competitiveness.
