Kforce

Beware of this place! They told me one rate (the rate that was posted on the ad) before and after I got the job and called me 2 DAYS before the starting date that they could only pay me at a rate that was 17% less than the initial rate. I turned down jobs that were paying close to the initial rate for this job. FYI: I saw the invoice that they billed the client and they they paid me around 50% of what they billed the client.
I agree with Tony M. It was so weird that the recruiter insisted that he had to meet me at the client’s building lobby and escorted me up to the client’s office. This was weird and very UNPROFESSIONAL. We are professionals, we are not kids that need our mommies and daddies to drop us off for our first day of school.
This agency seems to be extremely disorganized. Everything needed to be done online but they one of the worst online system. None of the staffs in NYC office knows anything about the boarding procedures. It seems like everything is done by its FL office and their FL staffs didn’t seems like they knew what they were doing. No one asked me about direct deposit. It took them a month and countless emails to set up something as simple as direct deposit. They mailed me my pay stubs along with my checks before the direct deposit went through and they stopped sending me my pay stubs after that. The pay stubs were not available online and I emailed/​spoke with so many people in the FL office but no one could give me a clear direction on how to get a copy of my pay stubs. The engagement was over and still no luck with the pay stubs :(. I’ve worked with other agency and never experienced anything like this.
Also, provide them your salary target ONLY. Don’t give them your salary history because they will give it to the client so the client can low ball you when it come salary negotiation.

Recruiter gave me wrong address to interview and had to reschedule. After interview they said they will follow up. They did not. I actually had to call them back to see if there was an update. Ivan has his own hidden agenda when talking to me after an interview. He asked me what they asked and I bet he passed it along to other candidates «this is what they will ask you» like I was some sort of first draft. When I told them I was going to reach out to the hiring manager about an update they conveniently called me right back to tell me that they were not moving forward with me. After two weeks. Sufficed to say, will not do business with kforce period. Especially with Ivan and katie

Kforce is an awful recruiting agency. They are nasty people to work with.

Don’t waste your time. I met with Carrie a few months back and it was a total data mine. She wasn’t interested in my skills — just looking for contact information to solicit new business. I work as a contract recruiter and they worked with a former client of mine. Reached out to the client for feedback and their interaction with Kforce was negative also. If you’re looking for a reputable agency then look elsewhere.
I signed up with Atrium staffing a week later. Within two weeks I had a contract role with a good organization (still there).

This agency is horrible. They dont return phone calls, there are always jobs available for this agency but for whatever reason, they dont call you for these positions, even if you qualify for them. And if you call them about those positions, they’l tell you they’re not available even though they’re already posted online. Very disorganized and unprofessional staff who work there. Another thing I dont like about this agency is that they escort you your new job the 1^st day. As a grown adult, I find that weird and kind of insulting. How old are we…10?
I also dont like the fact that everthing from this agency is online. Timesheets, W2 forms etc etc. Worse than that, the staff cant give you clear directions on how to fill out W2s and online paper work. Please guys, dont waste your time with this agency. These recruiters give you false hope and are not there to help you. And they’re not well organized. A place thats not organized usually means trouble for the clients.

They have been posting the same job offers at Monster for more than a year (at least), and I assume they don’t have those jobs at all. I went to the interview with a recruiter about a year ago, he took my info, and I’ve never heard from him after that. My emails remain unanswered. No one replies even when I email to their main address. I get no response on my resume even if a position they advertise fits me perfectly. Sorry, but no respect for work like that.

**** Posting for my friend ****
K force is one of the best staffing agencies out there. They respond quickly and they are honest with you. I also liked how they gave me different roles to work with. Unlike other staffing agencies they would not assign you to another role simply because you was working with another recruiter. What??? It just doesn’t make sense! I was working with 3 recruiters at the same time and they did not mind at all.
K force has landed me in a position where I want to be during this early stage of my career! Ivan understood what I wanted and respect my choices. Ivan and Carrie was not pushy at all like some recruiters who simply only care about getting their commission. In the future if I ever need to look for roles, I definitely would be coming back to K force.
Thank you so much Ivan and Carrie!!! If you are on the market looking for job, contact kforce immediately!!!
