Let's have fun .. What's the worst staffing agency you've dealt with?

This isn’t fun.

I don’t like any of them, all of them gets blocked if they reach out to me.

s.i. systems. They call all their product positions “junior” so that they can pay you less, despite requiring 3-5 years of experience

TEKsystems. They wanted me to do a whole Python multiple choice test with 50+ questions by IKM that had a few hour limit with really absurdly specific python library / syntactical questions for their roles. I stopped the test midway as I realized it was stupid

Robert Half 👎 Always tried to convince me to take Cisco contract jobs that paid less than my job at the time with worse benefits

Artech. They won’t stop

Kforce. Unethical don't care about their consultants

As an employee, Volt. Super low pay, no pay raises, no engagement with the staff. As a manager, UST. They sent identical resumes for different people (word for word), and fed answers to our usual interview questions to candidates. When we would probe deeper, it was clear the candidates didn’t actually know or understand the subject.

I have one myself.. Apex - years ago I had a contract role where they lied to me about the role then when I started working iw as threatened by one of the other contractors .. I called them on a Friday, shared an audio recording of the threats of violence and said I won't work in this environment and walked out. The two APEX recruiters then called me every hour on the hour for 3 days threatening me. They're still employed there and have been promoted way up since. Apex can go down a toilet.

Workday associates. They will routinely call you Phishing for information on your current gig. Also want to know if you are interviewing and where so they know who’s hiring. Workday Philly sucks big time. #workday associates are scam artists.
