Career Strategies Offered a job, then didn't follow through with it. GREENWOOD VILLAGE Colorado
I went to an interview at this place, the basically gave me a run down of the jobs they had to offer, and locations of the apartment complex's they said were open to hiring leasing consultants. A week or so after the interview, I went in for my training. The class was a 6 hr. UNPAID training in a cramped room, with not enough chairs to seat everybody that was there. The go through pamphlets of different properties in which they send their employees, what to expect at each property, what amenaty's are available, do mock phone calls, so we can get used to the script, etc. Then they go through, and tell you, to expect a phone call within two to three days of the class, and be expecting to go to work.
Now, I went to class with 16 other people, and exchanged phone numbers with several of the members in class, all there in hopes of getting a higher paying job with good benefits. It's been 3 weeks since our training, I still haven't been placed at any of these supposed high class properties. I have called the company twice to find out why, and all I get is "Well, as soon as we find somebody that fits your criteria, we'll call you and let you know." Tomorrow, starts week 4 with 0 employment from these people. I have called a few of the people I was in class with, and they are getting the same response that I did. Pretty much word for word. I ask anybody that is thinking about getting into the leasing consultant job, STAY AWAY FROM THESE PEOPLE. They make a bunch of promises they can't keep. They say there is plenty of work out there, but yet they can't seem to staff the 16 people I was in class with. Who knows how many other people they put through previous and following classes that are still out there waiting to be place. This place is a RIP OFF by every sense of the word.

Career Strategies formally responds to the report filed on March 1, 2009 alleging our organization fails to follow through or provide valid employment opportunities.
Career Strategies is a reputable staffing firm in business for 20 years with 12 offices nationwide serving the needs of a vast client and candidate base. The majority of our business comes from repeat customers which is indicative of our customers ongoing satisfaction levels. We pride ourselves on personalized service and have provided thousands of job opportunities to candidates with a wide variety of skillsets. We take great pride in the relationships we form with our customers (to include clients and candidates alike).
Career Strategies maintains a division that meets the unique needs of our property management clients. As a courtesy to those candidates with an expressed interest in expanding their property management knowledge, we offer a voluntary seminar to further the advancement opportunities for such candidates.
The volume of opportunities available through Career Strategies is directly attributable to the business needs of our clients. Those needs fluctuate throughout the year with or without advance warning. We may have multiple positions available one week with minimal opportunities the next. We are careful to inform all prospective employees of Career Strategies that we cannot promise or guarantee work from week-to-week. This is the nature of our business and a message we consistently relay to candidates.
Given the state of our economy and the rapidly changing dynamics in the business world, guaranteed employment is not a reasonable expectation from any professional seeking employment. We are diligent in making that fact known for those who do business with us.
