I had a disappointing experience with a Robert Half recruiter regarding a $23/hr contract software development role that required relocation to an expensive city. During our conversation, he criticized remote workers as “lazy” and claimed hybrid essentially meant one day remote. The tone felt unprofessional and dismissive of candidate priorities. Recruiter conversations should focus on alignment, not personal opinions about work models.

Robert Half’s interview process typically starts with a recruiter screening call, followed by interviews with the client company. It’s generally straightforward, focused on experience, communication skills, and overall fit for the role.
