Review of The HT Group

Short story: Chrystal wasted our time, and mislead...

Short story: Chrystal wasted our time, and mislead my wife into cleaning a kitchen and clearing plates. Talked her into doing a ONE day temp position when she was looking for a full time career in the marketing field..... It is like buying a used car, except they sell people. Never using this agency again, and I want people to know why.

Long story: A great named company (I will call it Company X) was looking for someone as an administrative assistant. My wife figured she might be able to get in the on the ground floor in that role, and move into something more marketing related down the line.

All of this was explained in a clear and concise way to the HT Group. She was looking for the right fit in the right company, and not taking a job just for the sake of it. Her wish list never included:
-A single day temporary position, covering a shift while a current employee was out.
-With ZERO opportunity for growth or visibility within Company X.
-Being sold a difficult position to fill, and wasting everyone's time.

Directly from Chrystal's email to my wife:
"They need help covering the front desk, answering phones, greeting guests. Check out their website at [removed]. Dress is professional" and "It is your responsibility to get us your approved timecard each week"

While it is true she will be sitting at the front desk, there will be no answering phones. It also seems the janitorial duties were left out of the email, go figure. I would like to say she made a mistake, or misunderstood the requirements. But in reality Chrystal had a crap position to fill, and she misled my wife in order to fill it.

Not by my choice, my wife decided to stay the entire day to help company X out. She felt bad, and the entire process was a very negative experience.
