"They say that they like a lot of personality, which means a sales person."
What don't you like about working at Robert Half?
"When I was hired as a consultant , I was told that I would be getting the great experience that I needed to sit for my CPA exam. It turns out that you are just a money making machine, and the recruiters will send you to whatever low-level job they can get their hands on. You can be an experienced accountant or analyst, but if they can only find an assignment where you file documents, that is where they send you. They also promise trainings, but they only have some books online that if you kept your books from college, you really do not need their website at all. The recruiters tell you what you want to hear while you are with the client, and it does not matter to them whether the client is being unprofessional or not with you."
What suggestions do you have for management?
"I would suggest that they only hire recruiters with finance and accounting experience. The recruiters that they have now are trained to sell and have no idea how to match your skills with the job order. They are basically used car sales people."
What do you like about working at Robert Half?
"You get to work with different clients and meet new people. You also had the opportunity to make your own schedule."
Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?
"They like people with a lot of personality."
What don't you like about working at Robert Half?
"You are told that you would have the opportunity to learn and get a lot of experience, but in reality if you do not show the client what you can do and make the extra effort, the assignment could be mindless."
What suggestions do you have for management?
"One of the issues is that the recruiters are just sales people and do not know the accounting and the finance profession, so they really do not match the right consultant with the assignment. They should view the consultants as people more than just a product and maybe the turnover will not be as high."
What do you like about working at Robert Half?
"I like the opportunity to enhance one's knowledge by working with different companies."
What suggestions do you have for management?
"Improve salaries paid."
