On April 29th, Karen
Raisovich, one of the Recruiting Managers, emailed me a job
description pertaining to a Help Desk position for a real estate
company in Irvine, Sares-Regis and I emailed her a copy of my resume.
On May 2nd, she pre-screened me over the phone and had me
come in the same day for an interview with her. She said that I
would interview with her, then interview with the client, and then
interview with the team that I would be working with, if it got that
far. Per the interview, she felt I was a qualified candidate for the
position and on May 3rd, emailed me to set me up an
interview with the hiring manager of the actual client, Leslie, on
May 5th at 10:15. May I say first that Karen had a speech
impediment and would have trouble getting out the rest of a word.
Also, the email that was received from her scheduling me for
interview with Leslie was very poorly and unprofessionally written,
and a copy of it is attached. The email did not even state Leslie's
name, and I only learned that I would be interviewing with Leslie
upon actually showing up for the interview. When I arrived for the
interview with Leslie, I was met by Terry Schulenburg, another
Recruiting Manager, and Karen's partner. Terry said that Karen was
out for the day. I interviewed with Leslie and then met with Terry
to answer a few post interview questions. On May 3rd,
Terry then called and told me that Leslie liked me and wanted me to
meet the team and that it probably would be next week. I
waited all the next week and heard nothing from anyone. I called and
emailed Terry on May 16 and called again on 18th, and was
told that Leslie had been sick all the previous week and that I
should hear something soon. On May 19th, I called and
emailed Terry again and was told that Leslie was catching up. I then
called on May 23rd as well. I called on May 24th
and was told that Karen and Terry were no longer with Robert Half and
spoke with Kelly O'Connell, Market Manager.
I feel that I was lied to and deceived
by Robert Half. I'm not sure that the information that Terry gave me
pertaining to Leslie being out of the office was even truthful as I
would have heard something from Leslie by now. I was lined up after
having two successful interviews and then all communication dropped
off. Upon learning that Karen and Terry were no longer with the
company and trying to find out who had picked up their accounts, I
feel like I was brushed off and passed over with the promise of being
found another position. If this is how the last position was
treated, what confidence do I have of the next potential one being
treated like this as well? I do not have much confidence in Robert
Half's ability or competency and cannot seem to find any answers
pertaining to this situation from anybody and that is the reason I am
contacting you. I feel very unsettled and do not feel comfortable
enough to let this rest.
