Robert Half Employer Reviews

Was hired a temporary employee to fill role of Accounting manager for a maternity leave. Enjoyed the experience and the company I filled in for was trying to find a full time position for me in the end.

I am only writing a review because it is required, but if I had to say anything about Robert Half it is that for me, it was great for temp work, but horrible for permanent assignments.On any given day, I would be offered an assignment, and I would accept. More often than not, they were fun places to work with a fantastic group of employees and managers, – more... but usually they only need someone for short term assignments and nothing more. If you need a check coming in, that's OK, but not if you're looking for something long term. Over all, it was OK, but I wouldn't bet my life on getting anything through them alone. – less

THIS WAS A ONE PERSON POSITION AND I LOVED BECAUSE I GOT THINGS DONE FASTER I WAS MORE ORGANIZED OTHER CO WORKERS RESPECTED ME.

This was a temp servicing agency, that I worked at in the accounting field.

This is a temp agencyy that provide placement for temporary assgnments. Leads could result in longterm assignments and possible recruitment. Provide very good job leads

Management's concern is devoted almost entirely to productivity with little concern for the employee. A long and productive tenure at RHI will not guarantee your survival if your numbers should fall, even if due to events beyond your control. In effect, your entire career at RHI can be summed up in your last three months' results.

However, this trait – more... is consistent with most all recruiting agencies. There is nothing unique in the manner in which RHI treats its employees or its job candidates. Basically, they are considered chattel - nothing more - to be discarded as/when deemed necessary. – less

If you are new to sales, this is a great environment to learn valuable skills. There are a lot of rules and it is not always the fairest system, but still a good learning ground. The hours are long and the environment does not allow for a lot of time off.

At my latest assignment, my day began with checking the phone for any messages that had come in after hours. Then there could be various projects for me to work on. There could be signed forms for me to scan in to a clients electronic file and update the file while doing so. There could be TL's that I needed to be updated in the electronic files. There – more... would be the phone to answer and forwarded to the appropriate person all during the day. There would be the daily mail to open, sort. Any checks and almost all information received had to be confirmed by email to the client. The electronic files also had to be updated with information received status. Some of this information needed to be scanned into file.
I learned a small amount of the process of filing non-resident tax returns. My co-workers were fine to work with and I enjoyed having continuous tasks. The hardest part of my job was wondering if it would become a permanent position or if it would end. – less

Worked there as a consultant many years. Having come from an exempt salaried work model, it was a welcome change being paid for O.T. hours worked. People who work there primarily have a sales background and can be somewhat clueless about anything else (e.g. providing specific assignment info, administrative matters). Is an ideal place to work for someone – more... who can get their health benefits from their spouse or privately. – less

Enjoyed the flexibility to work at several companies.
Enjoyed being a crisis manager and excelling in many roles.

I consider RH to be a very professional organization and the people are very good to work with.

I worked for OfficeTeam for a few assignments and then, suddenly, they stopped booking me and would not tell me anything other than I had no complaints against me.

Assigned at 3 different companys.
I've learned all about the exterior sign industry, a business loan center, and payroll for a transportation company.
Management for the temp agency has always been ethical in all ways possible.
The hardest part of this job was that they were all temporary assignments.
The most pleasing part of this job was learning – more... something new everyday. – less

If you are someone who has or is considering using RHI/Accountemps for job placement, I'd look elsewhere. The Southern California region of offices are terrible.
Initially went in for an interview for a full time position. After going through the company's interview processes, 2 weeks and many phone calls later, I was finally able to get a measly, offensive – more... answer of NO, with no feedback or reason. RH employee's make no effort and do not care about their applicants.
At the same time they offered me an opportunity for an internal position as a hiring manager. Three interviews later with all the regional managers and other souped up job titles, I had not received any calls or notifications regarding my status...to this day.
The employees at RHI don't even know how to do their own job and don't have the courtesy to call back their customers, keep them updated nor help them with finding employment.
RHI is an internationally well known company, however the employees are incapable, have no idea about recruitment or even basic common daily business practices. – less

When I first started working for this company, they were very professional and straight-forward (which I appreciated).

Once they placed me on an assignment but my employment was terminated without any forewarning. I didn't get a chance to explain myself nor correct myself.

They found me other positions (most of which had a poor turnover rate and did – more... not pay well).

When you try to talk to them about any concerns or problems you are having in a current assignment they love to play "devil's advocate" and they always manage to turn things around and somehow make it feel like you are the problem and that you are the one causing the problems. They appear to be more concerned for the companies and bosses you work for, rather than for you. They try to mold and manipulate you and your actions to tailor the needs of the client instead.

If you become a "problem" they start ignoring your emails and phone calls. In fact, I sent an email asking about my job search status to two seperate office managers after not hearing anything for 2 to 3 weeks but received no reply. After another week I forwarded the same email again to both office managers and it took 4 days for one of the managers to reply to my email telling me that they were working very hard on finding an assignment for me and asked if I had applied for any of the positions on their website. I tried to explain to this office manager that every time in the past when I had kept applying to the positions listed on their website, I am told that the positions have already been filled and that the website just hadn't been updated yet. When I attempted to apply for more positions again, I got the same response and forwarded it to the office manager to show her proof of what I was talking about. I then got a call from the office manager stating that I sounded impatient and irritated and that I needed to understand that they were doing everything they can to find me another position. I was just trying to explain the feedback I was getting but again, I was wrong. – less
