Briserv Zero Accountability Nashville Tennessee
I recently applied for a job with this company, and I got it! One condition of the job was that I had to start within a week and only give my two other employers a weeks notice that I was quiting to go to work for them. I was told I got the job and was hired on May 21st (a Thursday), so I gave my notice to my two other jobs and that following Tuesday Briserv (Brian) emailed me and rescinded his offer. As soon as I found out, I called, left voicemails, text, and emailed the owner to find out what had happened and to try to appeal his decision. He knew that I had to quit my other jobs with little to no notice and that I was the sole bread winner to a family of five. He never responded and never made contact with me again. Now, I'm unemployed and tyring to figure out how we're going to make our mortgage. If you want to work with someone that is willing to change their mind regardless of the consequences, then Briserv is for you. I don't know if I have any recoarse here, we lost at least $2,400 in wages I could have made if I kept working for my original employers, but any help would be fantastic!!! Thanks for reading/listening...

More to the story: I was absolutely on top of each email and call that was made to me, but since I was currently working at a restaurant that fires you if you have your cell phone on you, there was some delay on being able to communicate. No doubt this issue would've been a non-issue if I was no longer working at the restaurant. This just shows a total lack of patience and understanding when trying to hire someone that is currently employed. As for my references, only one was a family member and the other three were collegues that I've worked with for years. Yes, now I can call them friends, but the best people in marketing typically end up on that level with those they work with. The truth about the email confirming a Wednesday lunch: Briserv sent the email to an alternate address that I wasn't expecting, and when I did get it, I was so excited about the new job opportunity that I missed a one-liner at the bottom of the email asking if I was available to meet Wednesday instead of Friday. If that's the total amount patience and understanding you would like to get from a company when a miscommunication happens, then by all means, give them a call. As for me, I'm pretty sure I dodged a bullet.

When this applicant did not call me for his phone interview, that should have been my first warning sign. However, I was impressed with his application and portfolio, so I called him to initiate the interview. After talking to the applicant on the phone, I invited him for an in-person interview for which he was also 15 minutes late. In talking to the applicant, I was informed that he was very unhappy at his current place of employment and was happy to start working at briserv immediately. Unlike the complaint states, I was flexible on the start date as I understand that his previous employer would likely need 2 weeks notice. After the in-person interview, I called his references which turned out to be friend and family only- NO previous employers. Yet, due to the quality of his portfolio and his desired salary, I made the poor decision to hire him anyway. I called to hire him around 4:00pm, and heard nothing back from him. At 10:00am the next day, I reached out to the applicant by email and 2 hours later he returned my call. I told him that I wanted to hire him and that I would like to meet for lunch on the following Wednesday to go over the company handbook and get aquainted before starting. The applicant told me that he would prefer to skip the lunch meeting and start on Friday of that week. After hanging up the phone, I sent a follow-up email with the handbook attached further requesting a meeting on Wednesday at 1:00pm. I received no response to this email. Because briserv is a service business, the lack of response combined with all of the other warning signs (late to interviews etc.) indicated that ths applicant was not a good fit for the position. When I still had received no contact or confirmation, I emailed him the Tuesday before our proposed lunch meeting letting him know that I had reconsidered. Again, I received no response. On Wednesday evening, after missing the lunch that I requested, the applicant called and left a voicemail starting that he has received the email with the handbook (apparently overlooking the sentence about meeting for lunch and the following email starting I was no longer planning to hire him) telling me he was excited to start on Friday. My text response was "please read your email." After doing so, the applicant called and texted several times over the next 2 hours, and I felt no need to respond. In conclusion, this applicant appears to be a skilled internet marketer, but was not a good fit for a small internet marketing business in the service industry due to his lack of timley response and ability to perform requested tasks. I wish Jacob the best in his job hunt.
