The team at Fortitude worked very quickly to get me scheduled for an interview with their client after confirming that my job skills and experience matched the open position. Everyone involved was very friendly, attentive and professional which made the entire process a good experience. I was offered the position and my experience on the job thus far has been a positive one.
Fortitude has been a great company to work for and work with. They are always willing to go above and beyond to help the employee with any situation at hand. Management has been doing an exceptional job maintaining the work culture and the goal of the company. I would highly recommend working for Fortitude Systems.
Great place to have a contract with. Went through this company twice for contract work and both times have been great experiences. My contacts were very quick to respond and got the ball rolling quickly for both of my opportunities.
Its a great place to be contracted through they get the hiring process done quickly and efficiently I really appreciated that, I got hired almost on the spot and started working about 2-3 weeks later. They are really good about finding a job that caters to you and they help you get started along with checking in with you during the contract period to see how you like the position. I'm glad I had the opportunity to work with such a great company.
Worked for the agency for a short time but they company they assigned me to have been amazing. Communication seems to be lacking for the team that was helping me but overall I was able to get what I needed. I feel communication should improve with this company if they wish to have a better relationship with their workers.
Fortitude got me in the door with the best job I have ever had! The pay, benefits, work schedule, and work environment are all really great. The management team at Fortitude is so friendly and helpful. They don't constantly berate me with calls and emails, but when they have important information for me, they get it to me as fast as possible. They check in with me from time to time to make sure my contract work is going smoothly and just to ask how I am doing. For example, I got a call from one of my main contacts in December just to wish me a great holiday season! They really are a great team.
If you are in the market for a great new career path and want to be employed through a company who actually understands what you are looking for, I would STRONGLY suggest giving Fortitude Systems a call!
The people at Fortitude are very helpful and kind. They asked what type of company I want to work for and what types of roles I am most passionate about and were able to place me in a position that meets those needs. I've already recommended them to a couple of friends.
Amazing from the start.
Everyone at Fortitude was amazing to work with. From finding me, to getting me the interview, to walking me through the hiring process and answering all my questions. I truly felt like I had a partner in my new career endeavor. Would work with them again and would recommend to friends.
Fortitude Systems is the first recruiting service I have ever worked with and they have set the bar extremely high. From first contact until my first day on the job they were professional, friendly and engaging. The job they matched me with was exactly what they promised and I enjoyed the personal touch that was provided. They helped set up virtual interviews and provided valuable feedback. If I ever find myself looking for another job; they will be the first call I make.
I recently had the misfortune of interviewing with Fortitude Systems for a position at Procare Solutions (also known as Procare Software).
From the beginning, I knew something was off about the whole process. First, I was called out of the blue by Procare's recruiting company, Fortitude Systems, and was told that I was "perfect" for an unspecified position with an unnamed company, which I later found out was Procare.
When I checked out Fortitude's website, because it almost seemed too good to be true, Fortitude advertises that it, as a recruiter, "WE KNOW TECH." However, when I spoke to Fortitude's recruiters on the phone, one recruiter admitted that he didn't know anything about tech. Fortitude also told me that Procare's software was great, which turned out not to be true.
And it got worse from there. During the process, it became apparent to me that Fortitude was basically incompetent. Fortitude later sent me the job posting, and it was apparent from the posting that the job required more experience than what I had. Fortitude and Procare knew what my experience level was, having seen my resume and at least six different people speaking with me during the process. I figured it didn't matter because Fortitude and Procare didn't take any issue with it.
Besides admitting that they didn't know tech, Fortitude provided me with misinformation about the position and the process. For example, Fortitude sent me the wrong exclusivity agreement to sign for the wrong company. Fortitude also told me that one phone interview was a video interview -- I scrambled to get ready for it hours before the interview -- only to be told at the last minute that the interview actually was a phone interview.
Finally after several rounds over the phone, I went to Rochester Hills, Michigan for an in-person interview. The Procare manager who I interviewed with was making jokes about my previous work history. I wasn't sure if he intentionally was being condescending and smarmy or just trying to be funny and failing without any self-awareness. The other person who I interviewed with was wearing a V-neck shirt with swaths of white chest hair popping out; I was dressed for a job interview.
During the final interview, one of the interviewers admitted that Procare's software was "garbage" -- their word, not mine -- and the other interviewer agreed. I also found out during the interview that Fortitude and Procare had lied about the position. I was told that the job only required one or two days in the office per week. However, during the interview, the Procare manager told me that the job required three days a week in the office.
After the interview, I immediately suspected that I didn't get the job because the Fortitude recruiter, who had asked me more than once to call him back after the interview, didn't take my calls or respond to my voicemails. The funny thing is, I knew the interview went well from my end. I figured I didn't get the job because I didn't have enough experience. The strange thing is, the Procare manager told me during the interview that my experience level tracked with my resume. Procare and Fortitude knew what my experience level was from the beginning.
Neither Procare nor Fortitude got back to me about the job, which is a super unprofessional way to treat someone. This result occurred despite the fact that I had followed up with Procare and Fortitude. In retrospect, I wondered if Fortitude as a recruiter had promised Procare to deliver a certain number of candidates for the position and had only engaged me in the process because Fortitude needed enough people but couldn't find them.
At any rate, Procare and Fortitude really wasted my time and treated me unfairly and unprofessionally during the process. All the while they strung me along with lies. I believe companies and recruiters like these deserve to be held accountable for their actions and mistreatment of interviewees. You would do well to avoid Procare and Fortitude if you have any choice in the matter.
