Aerotek

I have had a couple of really good positions through Aerotek, however when my positions ended I was not contacted to get other positions the ones I was excited about the recruiters never called me back about them, they get your hopes up then let you down, that is not right and very unprofessional

In March, I was contacted via email, by a recruiter named Kathryn. She also mispelled my name in the email. She explained that she found an entry level position that I would be perfect for. After speaking to her on the phone, she scheduled an interview for a Monday at 3PM and said that I would need to fill out some paper work. I called later that day and told the receptionist I would need to change the initial time from 3PM to 3:30PM. Five months has passed I never heard back from Aerotek since. They are just trying to meet their daily quota of reaching out to job seekers.

Was contacted by a very eager beaver junior recruiter about an exciting Project Management position for which I am perfectly qualified. I asked some basic questions about the contract, the pay, the term, reimbursable expenses, etc. He said he was stepping into a meeting and would call me back that afternoon with some answers. He did not call me back that afternoon.
When he did call me back the next day, lamely apologizing, he was insisting on interviewing me in person. Before agreeing to a time consuming meeting, I again asked him for more details about the contract. Again he said he would speak to his «handler» and call me back. He did not call be back, instead cowardly sending a lame boiler plate email about their policy of not discussing any details prior to interview. Every other recruiter will.
My reluctance to meet was also based on two prior experiences in Aerotek interviews that left me feeling like a anonymous number. The people in the office were very sophomoric, generally rude, and superficial. This eager beaver junior recruiter fits right in with this profile.
Why would so many people take so much time to give them bad reviews here? Judging from all the long, single star reviews here, their hiring model, as well as their manners are clearly in question. After several encounters with their representatives, I have found them to be naïve, rude and very unprofessional.
Attention employers: As a Project Manager who spends half my time vetting, hiring and managing subcontractors, Aerotek is not a recruiter I would hire, nor do would I ever want to work for them.
Ignore their calls. These people are idiots.

These folks sat on my resume for something like three years. Then pow they call me up and claim they’ve found something perfect for me. And for the most part they were correct. After a lengthy conversation with one of their staff it definitely seemed like a go.
Oh did I mention they called me at six at night.
So after getting my hopes up. And figuring I’ve got his in the bag so to speak. The staffer asks me if I can come in the next morning. I explained that I have a prior commitment the next morning and can’t break it. She then tells me it’s time sensitive. Huh? She then explains that the company they’re working for would be holding interviews the following day after the interview at the staffing agency. She flippantly tells me she has other people lined up for the job.
I’m sorry but that’s so not fair. And blatantly rude.
You don’t have the right to dangle a job opportunity at the last possible moment like some carrot and then pull the rug from under people because you mismanaged time. Time sensitive? Really. This was for a long term contract. Why would it be time sensitive? One day notice?
Go ahead with your stack of resumes and go fly a kite with them.

I was surprised to read the negative reviews on this agency. I had a wonderful experience here. I am so glad I signed up with Aerotek and they found me a job within a few weeks. They were always professional and polite each time I visited the facility or spoke on the phone. The gals I worked with were amazing. They took me step by step through the whole process, kept in contact with me often and wanted to know my progress. Gaby Eliason and BritneyBradley are hard working dedicated young ladies. They called me before my interview to make sure I was prepared and were interested to know how it went. They seem like they genuinely cared about me finding work. I have registered with many other staffing agencies and they don’t even remember my name; they could care less, which was always odd to me because they make money when they find you a job, you would think they would try harder. I am very thankful I have a job now.

I had never used a staffing agency before, so i was a little apprehensive about starting.
I was working a job for the county and although we knew it was just a temporary job, they never told us the end date. so as i began to get suspicious, i finally found out they would end the assignment in a day or 2. I called Aerotek (after having set up a profile with them about 4 months prior) and told them my situation. my worker (Maureen) was amazing. She had me come in to meet with her, by the end of that day i had an interview with a hospital that following tuesday… I GOT THAT JOB! so within two weeks i started. it was such an easy transition. it all happened so fast.
So far I love Aerotek!
