Don't work for Aerotek

after reading all this information i just really want to sue aerotek. because they played me dirty as well and there, i know they are very sneaky. on all aspects of how they hire, i was hired once with others to work, and 40% of people got fired, or let go for mystery reason, but they shouldnt of even been there in the first place. i just think i will sue them for the mental damage aerotek has done to me. after i was let go i went in to a spiral downwhirl of debt with no job or anything and they said they were gonna get me a job now im broke with no expenses because all my bills have been sent to collections. but jobless. all thanks to aerotek. at least i still can afford my free lawyers to sue aerotek. :)

SO if any one wants to sue aerotek for mental stress and financial damage to your life just make post and lets get are voices heard. if any one was mentally and finacially damaged, by lies of the AEROTEK company.

The owner of Aerotek owns an NFL team. What does that tell you?

Yeah he is So rich, probely owns the cowboys. but that besides the point i do think that some one needs to start a company thats better then aerotek. a company with a better name. with good values thats what i think.

JJ said: I HATE AEROTEK! I've never had an interview like the one I had with them! I actually was in TEARS by the end! The person I spoke with told me that NO ONE would hire me, and that he had a "bad feeling" about me. He also asked me a couple of nice, illegal questions about my medical history and how it might affect my performance. I hope they're prepared for a complaint to the EEOC and a possible lawsuit. NEVER turn to these people, they are horrible!

Yes I agree, I have a great resume but every time I apply for one of the positions Aerotek has they never respond or when I call they say I don't have enough experience, and never call me when they have something I know I can do.

I would like to know more about your experience with the Greenville office of Aerotek Commercial Staffing.

Aerotek.......I had a interview with them and then with customer. I did accept the job, but then 2 days later I got a better offer with my previous company. OMG! They called from a blocked number and read me my rights. The "kind" lady they told me I was unethical and dishonest. Use your own judgement with anyone that you work with that gets a commission. This is a second warning to candidates who are thinking of working with/for Aerotek. Don't cross them or you will never work with you again. Or at least that's what they told me.

People that end up working for a recruitment agency are those who are too dumb to get a real job or those that did not pay enough attention in college so they have to find other people crappy jobs, ones they themselves do not even qualify for. Several guys and girls in my apartment community work for Aerotek and I can safely say that from what I see, it is the crowd that just got out of college and is desperate for work and p****d their time in school away drinking (one graduated in my college class and is definitely not mature enough or smart enough for real work...TRUST ME)...do not trust your career in the hands of people like this. The real good job market is known as the "hidden job market" which comes from networking, not trying to fill sh***y jobs these people push on you to make a buck. Trust me, I almost tried using a recruitment agency and glad I did not and instead was hired by someone directly with Vanguard based on my qualifications. Recruiters are only concerned with getting people to sign the contract and throw crappy job offers at them to get them hired ASAP to get the commission. I would never trust someone to find me work who is less qualified than I am.

Aerotek has greatly disappointed me twice. I quit my lead mechanical engineering position to start my own business 3 years ago (real estate related). Since the R.E. market is not great now, I decided to return to engineering thinking it would take a couple months to get back into it. Aerotek contacted me with a great position, set up an interview for me, and at the end of a pleasant interview the hiring manager said that I was exactly what they were looking for and that an offer is in the mail. Excited, I celebrated with family that night (the offer was $78k plus incentives). The recruiter called me and exclaimed, "wow, it must have went really great, I've never had such positive feedback from a hiring manager like that before." He asked if the salary was appropriate and I said, "yes, I'm ready to start Monday morning." 20 min later the recruiter calls to say that he negotiated $5k more. Of course I said, "great" although I thought it was odd that he took that liberty. 1 hour after that call, the recruiter called and all of a sudden the job was off the table. I was devastated and asked what happened. The recruiter callously said, "Oh, you never know with these things, they probably hired from within. Don't worry, I have plenty of other opportunities". Of which he never got back to me with. Yesterday, I got a call from Aerotek again, different agent, who said that the same company was looking for me because a position opened up. They set up an interview last minute for this morning. All dressed up and nervously prepared for the interview (email with directions and contacts in hand), I called the recruiter to tell him I was on my way. He said, "Who? Oh yes, they decided to cancel." I asked why and said he didn't know but he was "sorry". I will never deal with them again; I'm just glad I didn't waste gas. I guess, in a way, I could blame Aerotek for global warming if they do this on a regular basis.

I agree with all the comments. Don't be fooled by the friendliness that recrutiers have when they meet you for the first time. All they care about is getting you into their company so they can get rich.

Top mamagement is the same too. All employees at Aerotek do not look professional, are not professional since they are always late at starting interviews, and insult you during the interview~

John Doe in Denver, Colorado said: Aerotek is one of the worst staffing agencies next to Manpower. They don't follow up with applicants and the recruiters are rude and unprofessional. I have been hiring and recruiting for a real company for ten years and I can't imagine why anyone would put their creers in Aeroteks hands.

Aerotek "IS" the worst staffing company in the country! They are nothing but "POND SCUM"! They do not follow Wage and hour Federal standards, as well as make money off of hard working people. You will never see a dime in bonus money they tell you that you will get. They will black ball anyone they don't like and they will lie about anyone that stands up for thier rights! They don't like people that think for themself! Think before you go work for these vermon!

Jose in French Camp, California said: Same here, Aerotek has invaded Manteca Ca and san juaqin county I can't find a job quickly, there is a filter now being used "-Aerotek"

You are right! The filter needs to be changed to a good filter .......... not a used worn - out one!

John Doe in Wheeling, Illinois said: John, as an internal employee of Aerotek, I appreciate your effort to stand up for my company. I have been a recruiter for 7 weeks and I work long hours to help people like you. I wish you were in IL, so I could put you to work.

John Doe......... You are an inside plant!!!!!!! Of course you are going to talk nice! In a Socialistic Government, you will be repressed if you talk bad about your government! Jujst wait ..... you will see the light after you wake up from your dream! Afterall you have been asimalated!

I had an experience with Aerotek after I got out of the Marines a couple years ago that forever changed my view of staffing companies. Its because of what happened with this company that I will only accept employment as a direct hire and strongly advise others to do the same.

I applied for a position as an electronics technician and went to an interview with a recruiter who said I was a "shoe-in" for the position after a short phone interview. When I arrived for the interview in person, she told me the job had been filled and started asking if I knew anything about HVAC... that kind of threw me, a bench technician doesn't have ANYTHING to do with heating/air conditioning. Anyway, she said its not that hard of a job and looks like pretty much the same thing, and since I was already there she was going to submit me for that job.

Two days later, she calls me back telling me that she's still waiting for an answer from the employer, but until then she has a position open as a shop clerk for a semiconductor company making $7.50 "maybe 8 if I can help ya out" to which my already desperate self agreed to another interview.

After much thought and realization, instead of going to that interview(because I could actually feel myself taking it in the rear) I decided to get drunk and call the recruiter to tell her I changed my mind. She tried to take my head off, yelling at me telling me how I'm worthless, unaccountable and how could I ruin such a great opportunity...as if it was a favor I was being handed. Unfortunately, I had beer muscles and Marine mentality so it kind of ruined the conversation and cut it short with the plump little lady. I hope she still works there, I could hear her sobbing on the other end lol. So yeah, go get hired direct, folks, better pay, better benefits.

And you won't have to make some recruiter cry.

Aerotek DID actually get me a chemistry job that I loved. They said they had health insurance but it was a joke so I got my own which is way too expensive. A lot of companies around here apparently rely on Aerotek and other recruiters and hate to start the lower echelon staff as permanents, so in some cases I think you almost have to go temp to get in. I do, however, think it is absolutely OBSCENE, the amount they make off you. You are working away and they are collecting the SAME amount you are for almost nothing!! Plus for the company to make you permanent they have to pay the staffing company thousands of dollars. I would suggest that before you agree to temp you get the details on the "benefits" and try to negotiate the amount/time to "freedom" if possible. They made a lot of money off of me and did very little. Now that the job is over, I am so behind financially that it's not funny. But it was the right thing for me to do at the time and I am glad for Aerotek's connections. And no, obviously I am not a plant.

John Doe in Wheeling, Illinois said: As an internal employee of Aerotek, these comments are exaggerated. The recruiters put in long hours to help people like you look for work. We advise that people conduct there own searches. We would love to place everyone, but it is nearly impossible.

Of course you are going to say what you said. You work for them and are paid to say what you just said! I know, I worked for Aerotek and was told to refute any and all responses on this web site. You are no better than the "FOX in the HENHOUSE". Take your blinders off and wake up and smell the coffee. Shame on you you scammmer!

These verman would sell thier own mother down the river! I know that they found you something in your time of need, and I know you had to work to make ends meet for the time being, so now, keep looking and do what you have to do to survive! In the future don't ever work for these scammers, and do everything in your power to put them out of buisness! Without hard working people like you, they will be nothing in the future!

I would like to jump on the band wagon with you, but after I spend a couple of thousand on wrongful termination against these vermon, all I got was a headace and no were fast. Save your money, and keep sending in the blogs about these low life. Maybe if we inform enough people what goes around will come around, and we can all collectivley put these people out of buisness.

John Smith of New Jersey in Hanover, Maryland said: They helped me get a job. They've always helped me, and my family. Maybe it's because you spell careers "creers" or are unprofessional yourself when speaking to them or can't hold a job for over a year. Stop complaining about these agencies. They may be annoying and call you all the time, but they can help sometimes. If you don't want to work with them, just tell them.

Get over yourself John Smith! Who died and left you in charge of spelling and grammer!

Blah, Blah, Blah, Blah. Aerotek has taken over the market, and good for owner. They are bit much, who go on interview with candidates? I accecpted a job with them and then changed my mind. This is the USA? Isn't it? MY GOD, you would have thought I committed a felony. That professional employee of at that Northern Virgina office in FAIRFAX, told me I was unethical and she would never work with me again. I returned to my old company where I've been for well over a year, with better pay and better benefits. I had the distingused honor of not using them when sent of candidates and will continue to do just that. I will continue to tell people how the employee called me on a blocked number and said horrible things to me. I'm sure she had her monies spent and was ANGRY she didn't get the commission.

We all know how rotten 99.99% of the recruiters are and we know they can be excluded from a search by typing the - symbol prior to the company name. I asking Indeed to put a check box on the main search page to automatically exclude the major parasites from a search. I suggest the biggest violators be list such as

1. Aerotek
2. ThinkEnergyGroup
3. Think Resources
4. More Think crap...
5. CyberCoders
6. Robert Half
7. Kforce
8. Cameron
9. Adecco
10. Kelly
11. Manpower

I'm tired of seeing the same opening posted by four different recruiters plus the Company who is doing the seacrh for themselves. Plus, I'm tired of reading a post where it says, "Our client" has an opening. What are the odds "our client" doesn't even know about them posting the job?

The above job opening is at Laser Photonics in Lake Mary, FL, they have a full time recruiter on staff. His name is Scott Bond and he does not accept recruiter submittals. Erika Goldsmith stole this job description from the Job Boards and posted in under Aerotek's name. LMAO, too funny!

You Hit the nail right on the head with this one!

Maybe you should be responsible and follow up with your recruiter.

Reply to John Doe in Saint Louis, Missouri said: I would say a bunch of crap. You guys tricked me into telling you the name of the people I worked with after I singed up with you. Then you can go directly to them without paying referral bonus. You are a bunch crooks. You still have not come through with any jobs because I refussed to work as contract. You could not even line up an interview.
This is a warning to candidates who are thinking of working for "Aerocrook".

What have you done to find a job? What companies have you interviewed with? Do you have a job now?

Chemist in Sanford, Texas said: Aerotek is the manifestation of an organized screening system. The end result: companies don't have to screen all the new college grads looking for work, and the college grads get paid less, since Aerotek is taking a cut of your salary, and giving you crap health care.
It's not the worst situation possible: if it were, companies wouldn't participate in the festivities of staffing. But don't for one minute think that an Aerotek recruiter is a professional. These people exist because of the fact that it is a way to get out of providing health care/benefits to new employees and not provide them with benefits until they can prove themselves hire-worthy, at which point, the staffed employee will be hired into the company and, consequently, leave Aerotek.

Recruiting is not a bad way to eek a living, if you don't mind being a scum low life in a suit. It happens, life is cruel.

Wow - I'm sad for you. I'm a recruiter but don't consider myself "scum low life." Maybe your attitude is why you have such a miserable life.

I consider you not only a low life, but a bottom feeding scum.

I've been searching for a job for about four months now, even though I only graduated last month. With the lack of prospectives, I started looking at Aerotek.

First of all, they will call me, leave a voicemail, and when I return their call, they do not answer the phone and never call back.

Secondly, I only had one woman ever call me and then follow through. She asked me for my references and my information, which I sent immediately. I heard nothing for three days, and I got in contact with her again. She explained the position had been changed and would call me in a week with updates. When I called her a week and a half later, she explained that she was "really sorry about this but the position had been filled by another person." I hate that shady crap. She could/should have just explained that to begin with.

They are horrendous to work with.

Another satisfied customer! Get used to it pal, they treat everyone like this! You are not alone ...... Start looking for a reputable contracting firm, or whatever you can find on your own! Lets collectivly SHUT THEM DOWN! Spread the word!!!!!!!!

Its Me in Dallas, Texas said: Wow - I'm sad for you. I'm a recruiter but don't consider myself "scum low life." Maybe your attitude is why you have such a miserable life.

You must work for Aerotek! Only an employee would reply to an e-mail with such enthusiasum! I know that you are told to look at this site and refute any and all negative comments! I know, I was employed with these vermen! Open your eyes, and realize who you are working for! You must have been real desperate, or still are to work for them! Their are people out there that are good to work for ........... Not Aerotek!
Get out while you still can!

Its Me in Dallas, Texas said: Maybe you should be responsible and follow up with your recruiter.

Maybe YOU should be responsible and GROW - UP! OOPPPSSSS! Lets say maybe you as an employee with Aerotek should be following up with potential employees.........OOOOOPPPPPPPSSSSSSSS, I am sorry, at Aerotek they teach you poor manners and edicate!

First off, you should "Proof read" before you spout off! ....... Second I have a real job now!
Third, you are not my mother, so I do not have to tell you anything, and most inportant "Fact of Life" that you should know, and it shows, their is no "Perfect" company!

Professional Recruiter in Hanover, Maryland said: In summation why dont you focus on the periodic table of the elements, protons, neutrons, and " gas chromatography" and leave the business world to us true professionals.

Wow .... you must have used a dictionary, and stayed up all night thinking of this reply! A true employee of Aerotek! Did they give you a bonous for originality! Being the "True professional" that you are, you should actually make president before to long with you attitude and intelligence! NOT!

Professional Recruiter in Hanover, Maryland said: I beg your pardon, but we are now the largest in the country. Period. I am not calling you a liar, you obviously did work for Aerotek and it seems you were successful. My main objective is not to put this company on a pedestal. My objective was simply to defend my profession and the company that pays me well. I am not scum of the earth. I am not completely driven by money. I enjoy helping people find work. I do feel that I am qualified to do alot of things in this world, including recruiting. I will not standby and let someone marginalize my profession. I work hard to be successful. And by insurances, I meant workers comp, unemployment, etc. We do pay those insurances and it does go into our bill rate. Oh yeah and I was in Orlando too.

No ........... he was assimilated many months ago!

Professional Recruiter in Hanover, Maryland said: My concern is you attacking my level of intelligence when you have never met me. That is a little too judgemental for my taste. I havent started a blog that says all chemists are virgins who live with their parents. How can you take your isolated incident with a recruiter, who very well may have been completely inept, and categorize an entire group of people as a group who is "less intelligent" and has "less self-respect". I work very hard to be good at my job. I dont work past 6. I work smart and I am sucessful. Do I have to apply theorums and formulas to succeed at my job? No, I dont. However I dont think that makes me dumber than anybody who does. As far as I am concerned you are coming off as very pompous. Try not to sound like you are sitting on your intellectual throne waving your wand at others.

You have intelligence?!?!?!?! You need to learn the facts of life! You are wrong by saying "I do not have to apply theorums and formulas to succeed at my job" ....... Boy are you "Stupid" for that statement! You have no concept of buisness edicate, or the rules of every day life! The theorum of every day living is think before you open the front door, your mouth, and the formula for life is to treat everyone with respect as well as how you wish to be treated. Two very important trates that you have "Not mastered" nor that Mommy and Daddy never told you about! Boy, you are really self centered! Excuse us for your higher intellegence!

I have attempted to apply for positions with Aerotek two times. I contacted the agency via telephone to verify if they were still hiring for a particular position. The recruiter verified that the positions were open, but she clearly didn't want to give me any additional information about applying for it. It was like pulling teeth to get a fax number or contact name. I forwarded my information and obviously didn't get the position. I am a college graduate with extensive experience and knew that something was "fishy". A couple of days later, I contacted the agency about another position and another recruiter reluctantly gave me information. That interaction was "fishy", as well. I researched the company's record and verified that they have been accused of racial bias a number of times. There appears to be a screening process for potential minority jobseekers.

I have worked for Aerotek for a while now, about 6 mo. On the contract with three more to go. The job would be great if there wasn’t a hiring freeze but that’s not their fault. I’ve been with manpower and others and so far Aerotek is better than them but not great. Right now I’m in the process of trying to get my 6 mo. Raise that’s in my contract. I guess it’s all on the recruiter you get that makes the difference. Mine is slow at times and hard to get a hold of, but I will say they do back you up. I was off a good amount of times with real problems, one time I was out a week when my wife got sick. Then I was out a week when I had my daughter, or my wife did I should say. I was out 4 days when my roof caved in from water damage from a bad roof job. Most temps would be gone, but I still work to this day. I took this job and went to a staffing firm for fast results in my pocket. Prior to going to them I was a receiving lead making 18 an hour, had a bad car crash and lost my job for the 6 mo. Rule I was out 8. So you do what you have to in bad circumstances and bite the bullet. But all you slamming them its all over now. All manufacturing jobs are going that route. The bottom, line is crap or get off the pot. Its a job and though being a temp sucks its money to get you by until you find your way into something better.

This is ridiculous. FYI Aerotek does not pay much to their recruiters. That's why the only hire recruiters with no experience. An experienced recruiter would not work for that little and they can train them their way. They do little to give them ongoing training. Also, all recruiters are not evil. Like any industry there are good ones and bad ones. If you don't think we get burned by candidates, you are kidding yourself.

It is the end client that pays for the hire not the candidate. We get compensated for a difficult job. For a permanent job, I can work on finding the right candidate for months. We spend hours upon hours not only reading resumes and contacting candidates, but doing references, setting up interviews, negotiating salaries, background checks, etc. We only get paid if the person gets hired and stays hired. It doesn't help us if both parties aren't happy. So, by your theory, if I put in 40 hours of work on an open position and you get hired, I shouldn't make a thing? Interesting. I hope your next company works you for 40 hours and doesn't pay you anything.

If you are looking for a perm job, the money we get paid takes nothing away from your salary. Companies determine your salary separately. If you are a contractor, don't work for a rate that you don't normally make. Your employment is at will, so if a contracting or consulting firm isn't paying you your market rate, you don't have to accept the job!

Will in Overland Park, Kansas said: Does anyone know what they charge their clients for there "services"? I’m under contract with them and I curious how bad I’m getting screwed.

Are you making market rate? Are you making more than your last job? Don't worry about what the contracting company makes. Before you accept a job, just make sure you are comfortable with the hourly rate. If you are not getting benefits than you should make a little more hourly than you do on a permanent job. I hope this helps.

Very well said, we work very hard at Aerotek and I am tired of people bashing the company because they would rather complain than work hard. To those complainers, I challenge you to use unemployment services or some other recruiter because I can promise you most of them don't have a college degree and most of them don't give a crap whether you hold a job or not because it doesn't affect them. If you don't get hired, we don't get paid!

Does Aerotek have a company media policy for its employees or are all the recruiters here allowed to speak on behalf of the company? I know the folks I work for tell us explicitly that we are not allowed to mention the name of the company unless we are cleared, otherwise we have public relations people for that. I am going to forward the link to this discussion forum to the folks over at Aerotek...

do do do...

Very unprofessional. After making many attempts to contact them they have never ever given one response to calls, emails, or applications. It all goes into a collective black hole never really knowing even if the company is legitimate. Hard to say if they called me with the dream job if I would respond but I will never give them a second look. "-aerotek"

If you don't get hired, we don't get paid!

The company sucks. If you are working that hard for some place with that low of a commission structure, you suck. It is that simple. No one with an ounce of talent will stay there. It is a human chop shop.

I was contacted by a recruiter, he gave me all the information as if I was a potential candidate and he said that I needed to take the assessment tests. He said that he was forwarding it to me as soon as we got off the phone. I NEVER RECEIVED THE TEST, HE NEVER RETURNED MY E-MAIL OR PHONE CALL.

And this should surprise you........how? Come on people it is Areotek. That is why they have a HATE site dedicated to them...........They will never be a good place to work for, nor, would I EVER work for them if it was the last place on earth hiring! I would much rather suck on a lit roman candle. At least I would know what I was doing!

Confessions of a Aerotek Recruiter:

Much of what you guys are saying is true, however there is never meant to be any blatant or malicious intent on the part of a recruiter.

A recruiter is required to do his or her job, much the same way you and I are. He or she cannot reply to 200 New Applicants a day on top of the other job responsibilities.

Aerotek dosen't promise to FIND YOU a job, that's not a recruiters mission. Their mission is to find qualified candidates opportunities. Aerotek has specific hiring criteria, some of which might not be fair, but this criteria allows Aerotek to be one of the more renowned recruiting firms in the nation with some of the lowest attrition rates.

Joey in deepinahearta, Texas said: Does Aerotek have a company media policy for its employees or are all the recruiters here allowed to speak on behalf of the company? I know the folks I work for tell us explicitly that we are not allowed to mention the name of the company unless we are cleared, otherwise we have public relations people for that. I am going to forward the link to this discussion forum to the folks over at Aerotek...

do do do...

They are told to refute this site Joey. They are told to monitor this site and knock down any negative remaks, .......... Sound alot like a Socialistic company to me! Sending the link will do nothing. This site has been here for over 15 years, and will be around 15 more as long as people keep going to work for them.

Mark in Littleton, Colorado said: you people are told by Areotek to monitor and rebut all negative remarkson this site. Get a life and start thinking for yourself low life!

First of all most Aerotek recruiters wouldn't even waste a second of their time to visit a sit like this, secondly, contrary to what you might believe, i'm unauthorized to speak about Aerotek company policies and could get into grave trouble for even posting on this board.
