Dont be a prey - I had bitter experience working with Harmer, They asked me for help in referral and conducting technical interviews, without honoring my time & efforts as per the industry standards( Referral bonus/ technical Interview cost) which is quite common.
Referral efforts:
I had to call 7 to 10 friends and speak about this opportunity at client
I have sent several emails/followups/linkedin to make sure they are interested and available
Spoke to all 7 people who were available and 4 were interested to relocate.
out of 4 people I chose 1 best fit(xxxx) and referred him as the right candidate.
I had to prep him and made sure he is comfortable with requirement and client facing.
as said every organization respects referrals, I have all the way gone an extra mile to help Harmer and client(XXXX) to interview and select a right resource spending huge amount of time and preparation in my busy schedule.
Interview efforts:
I have taken 4 final technical interviews for Client XXXX
Minimum 3 technical screening calls for Harmer
3/4 client review calls on the interviewed candidates,
1 final review call with Client XXXX, which almost took more than an hour to go over each candidates responses/strengths in detail and finalize the right person.
After all these efforts from a 3rd person, Harmer(Todd/Kelly) say's we never gave a word that we will honor your efforts/time ????
Harmer is a PARASITE, just squeeze what you have and dump you.
If anyone is referring please be cautious and choose another firm where your efforts are honored.
