Pros

Amusing to watch telephone tough guys pretend they're real "players" while they read prepared scripts to client companies and waste candidates' time with bogus job postings. It's entertaining but after about a week you realize what a bunch of frauds they are and can start marketing yourself to other companies (while removing RHI from your own resume).

Cons

You don't want any involvement with RHI on your resume. If you make the mistake of doing business with them in any capacity (as a candidate, client or employee) ensure it's very short term then move on. If you're a candidate, you need to understand their job posting are FAKE. They post them to get you in the door and talk about where you're currently working and where you're interviewing so they know where to market themselves. Don't believe me? Go look at their job postings today....then take another look at their postings 6 months to a year from now. There's a reason they look the same...because they are the same fake job that doesn't exist. Look for buzzwords and cliché phrases like "huge upside potential" and "rapidly growing". Been using that garbage for years.

Pros

Always reaching out about new jobs coming across their desk - got work very fast.

Cons

You have to call. At first I was just applying online but it wasn’t until I called to that they actually saw my applications.

Pros

Not much to say here, unfortunately.

Cons

In the technology practice, the unwillingness to adapt to a rapidly changing market can no longer be ignored. Too many decisions continue to be justified by the mindset of "this is the way we've always done things," even when those approaches are becoming less effective or counter-productive. While competitors evolve their business models, recruiting strategies, and client engagement practices, continues to be reluctant to challenge long-standing processes and assumptions. The impact of this resistance to change is becoming increasingly visible in the market. Clients and candidates have more options than ever before, and perceptions of the organization are being shaped by experiences that no longer align with current expectations. Without a willingness to listen to feedback and embrace new approaches, there is a real risk of causing lasting damage to the company's reputation, employee retention, and long-term competitiveness.
