TEKsystems Employer Reviews

Busy with Network upgrade
Learned 3G, UMTS
Co-workers are easy to get along with.
Hardest part of the job is that room temperature fluctuates all day

A typical day at work was pulling cable or making a path for the cable. My co-workers were amazing workers and knew what to do if we hit a problem. The hardest part of the job was being in the attics. The most enjoyable part of the day was probably when we were testing.

Very professional work enviornment and the ability to network within the assignments is very valuable.

I would not work for this company or any other staffing agency who are offering geospatial positions. They will ask for your salary requirements and tell you it is acceptable only to waste your time traveling, interviewing and then offer something substantially less. Unless you are desperate or a recent graduate needing work experience, I would not – more...  waste my time. – less

work was to spread out in other words 2weeks work 3 months off i could not make a living.here's a concept cut the middle man out oh wait then the company would have to pay for benifits. what a gig .we are just grunt's

TEKsystems Recruiters (CT branches) do not follow through on jobs for candidate and they do not get back to the applicant. The organization claims that they are different from other technical staffing agencies hence, just a smoke & mirrors if you will.

Read reviews and do a lot of research on the many Contracting/Staffing/Recruitment agencies out there… – more...  unfortunately, it will require a lot of your time as these agencies are growing by the month. Once companies (small Biz) and large corporations become courageous again (not afraid to take risks), watch how fast these recruitment agencies will fall.

My best to all,

I have enjoyed working with this agency for the past year, great people.

Teksystems does not consistently review their database of candidates when posting a job in an area, so providing a resume to a site does little for you or your search. The notion of having a resume on file with this organization is quite amusing, as they post positions absent reviewing current candidates or previous candidates that brought in alot of – more...  revenue. thus, they are loosing good, sustainable candidates. this is typical of a myopic focused, revenue centric organization that has little value for the person and greater value for the revenue. Quick, fast, make money, get out. Not a great long term strategy. – less

The Pittsburgh office is inconsistent in finding new work after a contract ends.

I've enjoyed my time with TekSystems. They are a very supportive company to work for and try to keep consultants working on projects.

To make a long story short, they convinced me to take a position that required me to uproot my life and move out of state. I took the position and was laid off EXACTLY 6 months after arriving. They offered no job resolution and I have not heard from them since, except to offer me a hob paying HALF of what I was making before.

TEKsystems offered me a great opportunity to learn the “ins and outs” of the IT Staffing industry from a vendor's perspective. It led me to the place where IT and HR intersect an gave me a back door view into the inner workings of some of Southern California’s largest and most innovative companies.

It was here that I picked up technical knowledge and – more...  learned how to read a resume from a hiring manager’s perspective. I also learned what it felt like to place a hard working technical professional into their dream job, sometimes delivering people from the jaws of financial ruin.

This position was challenging in a number of ways; by and large, the biggest piece was the sacrifice of personal time in order to meet metrics. While I never believed that good hiring decisions gave way to the need of micromanagement, I found that regardless of performance, the company continually tightened the screws from the top down, creating a very competitive and exclusionary culture.

I did exceedingly well for 5 years. I saw a number of people come and go - some were run into the ground, unable to keep up with expectations. Others left with their chins up, going off to assume roles in other industries or working for the companies they once supported from the vendor’s seat. No one ever said staffing was easy, but it’s all about expectations and the ability to commit yourself fully to the task at hand. If you can’t manage your time effectively, the vendor lifestyle will eat your lunch.

All in all, I consider my time with TEK a positive investment. I’ve met some truly amazing and gifted people. I’ve seen people lose $50K in commission in one day and work it back up over the course of a year, sacrificing for their coworkers along the way. I’d say I walked away understanding the meaning of the word commitment. I’ve no regrets. – less

Source local and out of town candidates for immediately available information technology positions.
Gained working knowledge of technologies from software development to VOIP networking
This is a great stepping stone. Or, if you are ok with the type of sales that is 85% inside and small amounts of new business development, this is definitely for you. – more...  It is a great stepping stone, depending on the market you are in, you can advance, but get caught in a smaller market there is no real room for advancement.
Great people, teaches great character, and is a wonderful way to sharpen your "teeth" with a lot of cold calls, a lot of "no" or "leave me alone" – less

I was recruited for a contract position. The recruiter maintains regular contact with me.

TEKsystems has great people just no work life balance. You have daily redzones 7:45am and 3:00pm. You're required to report weekly numbers. It's a frustrating job because you are working with people who can be unreliable. Other than that, great employees. Great people.
