Robert Half reviews

- There’s a lot of areas within Robert Half that need improvement. A lot of these are brought up in their anonymous GLINT surveys, but nothing is ever done to change it. - Lack of transparency when joining. Very unclear what the commission structure is and left to your own devices to figure out how to make bonus. I later found out I had to bill my base salary, each quarter, before earning commission. This is not industry standard. - Another area you are left to your own devices to is training. Whilst you are monitored on activity and hitting KPIs, you receive little to no training on how to do the job well and earn commission. - The "culture" is totally driven by drinking, and if you don’t join in, you are left out. You are told you have to do this to get cross-sell opportunities or nobody knows who you are. - The turnover is extremely high, pretty much all tenured people. But it was presented their retention rates were amazing . - Everyone who leaves Robert Half does not have good words to say about them. They claim everyone is their “family” but you are dead to them as soon as you leave. If you’re an average recruiter, who wants a slightly less demanding environment and likes to drink, maybe this business is for you. But for graduates, professional or tenured recruiters, stay clear.

Management: They are completely out of touch. Upper leadership were in production decades ago and have no idea how companies work now. Middle management will do whatever they're told, even if it doesn't make any sense. Most managers are just yes men who never worked outside of this industry and lack business sense. Compensation: They will tell you that you'll make a ton of money, but you won't start clearing your base (which is low) until year 2 or so. You'll start out with a terrible book of business because those who have been there the longest get the best clients. Management does not realize that they are successful because they inherited a great book. COVID Management/Layoffs: They were very slow to respond to the crisis. Most companies around the area were already having their employees work remotely, but our leadership was in denial and questioned what medical experts were saying. They reluctantly let us WFH and started spying on employees. Pulling up numbers to make sure we were making 200-300 dials a day and told us it's to make sure we had all the tools needed to perform our jobs. In late March, leadership in almost all the branches told employees that Robert Half had tons of cash on hand, so there was nothing to worry about. A few days later, they laid off about 25% of the company. Three weeks later, they laid off more. People who worked for the company for 24 years were laid off.
