Review of Staffing Plus

I have never had to write such a bad review before...

I have never had to write such a bad review before but I really just had to share my experience because this has been so eye opening for me. I hope other people don't have to experience this.

CON: My experience with this company has been EXTREMELY unpleasant. Hiring process is a joke, they act like they just want bodies at location and don t care to get the details.

The assistant recruiters don t seem to know what information they need to get for new hires and the process takes months for them to complete. They contradict themselves with what documentation is needed. First it was 48 college credits, then after hired a few months later it was bachelors degree, then a week later high school diploma...They wait months to even check your references but never tell you what type of references they want other then professional. Then they just keep asking for different references which makes no sense. You have to keep going back and forth with them multiple times which is a huge time suck. Why not just tell me up front everything that you need so I can quickly and EFFICIENTLY provide it.

Their online training programs are defective and getting support to resolve issues for it is a pain. Literately took the same training 5 times before it registered complete.

The assistant recruiters also don t seem to actually want to be helpful and even threatened to withhold paycheck because they waited 3-4 months to ask for some additional documentation that wasn t required initially or even mentioned it was required when hired and expected to receive it the next day.

I m assuming the first assistant recruiter I dealt with is no longer at the company (I hope, they just stopped communicating so who knows). They requested to me to e-mail personal CONFIDENTIAL information to her insecurity over e-mail. Which for anyone who doesn t know is a HUGE red flag security risk in the age of computers. UNACCEPTABLE.

They also asked me to send my OFFICIAL (not a copy or official copy) of my degree to them by mail and they would "just mail it back after" mind you they lost information that was sent in e-mails. This seemed like an absurd request even if they had not lost my other information. I was also in the office a week after I was hired and I wasn't told to bring it at that time or even indicated that it was needed so this leaves me even more perplexed.

The second assistant recruiter that I had to deal with was rude and highly unprofessional. Kept telling me that they had already asked for things which they didn t and that it was my fault. I literately had e-mail copies of every conversation proving they were full of it.

I even called and asked to be directed to a manager since it didn t make sense why the hiring process was being drug out for more then 6 months. They proceeded to give me the assistant recruiter who I was having issues with. WTH?

I think this company needs an overhaul from management and some serious professional trainings and improvements around positive corporate culture for their recruiters as well as some defined protocols for assistant recruiters to follow so that they are being through and upfront. Don t just make up something because you don t know the answer. Toxic behavior is contagious so it will only get worse until someone stands up against it.

Finally, The fact that this company can place people in HR positions at other locations is terrifying.

PRO: placement location was nice.
