Rose International Staffing

OK. This place is legit. They got me a cool job. I’ll write more when the contract ends :)

This is a great company to work for! The company has a clear mission and they let employees know that they are a crucial part to the company’s success.
The company’s values and culture are a great fit for me and anyone who wants to work somewhere where you feel challenged and appreciated!

Great company to work for — this is company with a no-​nonsense, common sense approach to recruitment. The hiring processes are simple but thorough from a skills match perspective, with the bulk of the recruitment focus being on the ensuring that the job matches what you are looking for as a candidate. If hired, the onboarding is as quick and painless as possible, and payroll is always prompt and accurate.

This Employment agency has contacted me over and over for the same job with the same job description, just different recruiters, I advised the first recruiter (Female) to submit my resume to their client, this was over 3 months ago, I never heard from them again, not even a follow up. Next month I get a call from another recruiter (Male) offering the same job for the same client, and so on… Lastly I got a call today from them offering the very same job, for the very same client, with the very same job description, I advised the recruiter I was on the road and to send me an email with the job description (I wanted to be sure it was the same opening, the email by the way never arrived), before I even made it home, guess what? received another call on the same day from a different recruiter offering the same job once again, I advised him that someone had called me earlier about the position he was trying to pitch, he had nothing to say.
I decided to block their number and not answer anymore calls from them, I can’t yet put my finger on why they keep offering the same job, but if it does not sound right, it probably isn’t.
I am going to confirm with their «Client» a nationally recognized health care provider if indeed they use this agency for their temp force recruiting efforts. That should clear it for me, but for the time being, beware.

These staffing companies are generally unprofessional, but this place takes the cake. I was contacted not long ago via email by Celine, who had a «super great, utterly fantabulous opportunity,» or something like that, at a big local employer. It was an «administrative assistant position,» something for which I had exactly no training and in which no experience at all. I suppose the fact that the words «legal» or «law» appeared in both the description and my resume was enough for her to pull the resume, that and the fact that I live close to the company campus.
I’m sure the legal assistants out there will agree that this sort of work is not something you simply walk off the street and begin doing minus any training whatsoever. I explained all of the above in a brief email to the recruiter, who promptly emailed exactly, and I mean exactly the same description the next day, in addition to leaving a voicemail about how perfect a fit I was for this criminally low-​wage job (I’m sure this employers’ assistants make a hell of a lot more than $ 19/​hour).
So I resent my email to her, with a bit more heat.
All of this was a complete waste of time and energy. What in the world are these scam artists thinking? Random emails from exiled Nigerian princes present more plausible scenarios than my successfully applying to this job. I know these places and their employees are among the least ethical citizens not behind bars, but shouldn’t they take enough care to target their scams at likelier targets?

This company is a sham! I spoke to two people who were so persistent about placing me on a long term assignments. I tried to contact them the very next day and the number has changed. I find it very strange that there’s no alternate phone number to reach them.
If they found your resume online that’s one thing but other than that by no means
Do not give them your personal information not even your phone number!

I’m currently working as a contractor for Rose International. Initially, I read the contract and didn’t find anything out of the ordinary as the job seemed like a standard one so I accepted the initial pay and all. However, they forgot to mention that I’d be paying out of my own pocket to cover travel expenses which can take around 2 – 3 weeks depending to be reimbursed. This started to take a huge toll on my debt not to mention that my responsibilities were increased which I didn’t mind, but my pay did not change to reflect any of that. After exchanging quite a bit of e-​mails, they still decided to low ball me rates that weren’t even enough to temporarily cover my expenses. Stay away from this company. There are better companies out there that pay better and back you up.

One of their recruiters named Ralph sent me an email, telling me I am a perfect candidate to as a EPMIS trainer. I called him and he quoted me the hourly rate is $ 30-​$ 35. He confirmed with me that his manager will call me around 5:30 pm the next day. After I saw the reviews at Unilocal (esp. the $ 28K one), I sent him an email asking him the rate gonna be $ 30-​$ 35K per year or $ 30-​$ 35/​hour as he quoted me. In addition, I asked another two questions, one of which is about how they are going to reimburse the travel expense if it would take me 4 hours to get to the client site (the job requires 75−100% travel). Not only my email is not replied, his manager doesn’t call me the next day at 5:30pm.
These people, I am afraid, are probably looking for innocent candidates who are willing to let them suck your blood dry. Avoid them!

05÷07÷14 Note: About 4 – 5 hours after the above initial Unilocal post, I received an email from Ralph, attached to which is an Agency Consent Form. My three questions are still not answered. He said that his manager is too busy to call me. Ok, I will sign the Agency Consent Form, give them my most recent resume as he requested and see what’s gonna to happen. I will keep progress posted.

I hate to see so much MISINFORMATION on here — I am in no way related to this company.
My husband has been dealing with them in his job search in the IT field.
We did our own due diligence and found them to be a true company, registered with the state of Missouri and in operation since 1993. There are 13 comments on their file (release of whether negative/​positive illegal to state over the phone), and of course any company in operation that long will have ticked off one or two persons for that to be the case.
AS WITH ANY RECRUITING AGENCY, a social security number is indeed required for processing different aspects of a potential candidates’ background.
I myself have dealt with more recognized companies, such as Randstad, and it is normal operating procedure.
Now, if your «instinct» is in relation to a person’s ethnicity or accent, this is a totally different subject.
But, relying on the facts that I myself have gathered from various sources INSTEAD of relying on random reviews from lazy people who do not bother to research and rather instead waste theirs and others time writing «fraud warning» reviews based on the SS# requirement alone, well, says enough about them, doesn’t it?
Do the research for yourself, don’t trust anyone or any one site.
I am not endorsing the company as we have no dealings with them — yet.
This is solely to verify that we have determined them to be (from at least 5 web sources and 3 phone calls) a valid company, who does place people.
Period.

Rose is impossible to work for — says I will get paid «like 30» which means $ 28K. This is not a small difference when you are talking about a pittance like that. (The regular employees are paid $ 45K minimum.) They also told me it was a temp to hire gig and this was not true — I found out my first day on the job. Getting even the least little thing from them was an ordeal — totally mismanaged and disorganized. Stay away!
