Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good?
I could go on and repeat my story here, however, it is the same disheartening story as so many others have testified too.
The V.P. of Marketing at the Walnut Creek Haldane office I went too, Carolyn Schlosser, told me at my initial "sales pitch" interview, that, "Haldane has placed a lot of people in industries and that's a lot of contacts for you."
I received three numbers of prior clients. One has retired, one no longer works there, and the other has yet to return my voice mail message.
In Phase II, #10, of the Haldane contract it states that Haldane will provide "Counseling on salary negotiations and fringe benefit areas."
After an interview, (that I secured without Haldane's assistance), it was clear that the company was not going to pay what I expected. I contacted my "career counselor" asking for assistance in negotiated an increase in salary instead of health insurance benefits. He said, "Just ask them what it costs them for health insurance for an employee." Yeah, right, like you can discuss their health insurance costs at an interview!
It has been 3 more months since I made that phone call and my "personal career counselor" has yet to ask how the interview went. Any contacts and efforts of communcation are made by the client and not Haldane. Of course my counselor says of course "I care." It's just another sugar coated sales pitch.
Why doesn't the Attorney General shut down this practice of fraud?

EDitor's Comments: The above comments are forced statements derived from the victim in order to receive FULL or partial settlement from the Bernard Haldane SCAM which has bilked thousands of victims of millions of dollars fraudulently world wide.
Rip-off Report has relentlessly pursued this corrupt company for several months, obtaining very little success. It has been reported to the Rip-off Report that Bernard Haldane Associates are now motivated to settle, and have been giving victims most of or ALL their money back because they now know they have been under investigation for several months as part of a cooperative effort between several media outlets and Rip-off Report.com
Therefore, in our opinion, be warned---DON'T take even one penny less than what you are owed. BHA knows they have been caught red-handed and we are letting the word out so that victims will not accept a settlement less than what they are owed.
They will force you to file as part of the settlement a retraction to your Rip-off Report, making the following statement, or something very similar: After discussing my dissatisfaction with the VP, we came to an agreement to terminate the contract. I am now satisfied and fully apologize to Haldane for this report that I am having trouble to delete from this site.
