Pros

The hiring process is usually very quick. I've been placed in a role within 2-3 days of submission, and never less than a week and a half. Often, no interview is required and I can be placed directly into the role. Recruiters seriously consider the needs & preferences of their candidates when offering roles for submission. I have had 7 contracts through Robert Half, and each role felt like it was chosen specifically for me. Considerations recruiters apply can be anything from salary to conversion rate to company culture & workplace values. My recruiters know I prefer remote roles, and they work across teams to find the ones best suited for me. Candidates are advocated for when workplace issues arise. When harassment became an issue for me at a particular company, I was able to be immediately pulled from the job and prioritized in being placed in a new role. Within a week, I was back to work. I've been contracting with Robert Half for 4 years now, and the relationships I've developed with my first recruiters have had a very positive impact on me. They know my name, they know my reputation, and they know what my needs and values are. I'm not just a name on a piece of paper to them. I will always recommend this staffing agency.

Cons

The health insurance options are absolute garbage. One is basically just preventive care, and the other is an extremely high deductible plan that honestly is more expensive than just paying cash to your medical providers, depending on your healthcare needs. Only reason I didn't give 5 stars.

Pros

Success with other departments - just not in mine

Cons

Complete bait and switch. I accepted this position under one manager, only to find out after resigning from my previous job that I would be reporting to someone else entirely. There was no meaningful onboarding, no training materials, and no support system in place. My manager openly stated that there was no monetary value in helping me succeed and made little effort to train or develop me. Requests to shadow and learn the business were dismissed in favor of keeping me on the phones. Instead of being set up for success, I felt actively prevented from growing. HR was equally disappointing. I raised legitimate concerns and never received a response. The organization talks about development and support, but my experience suggested otherwise. Joining this company was one of the biggest professional mistakes I have made.
