Volt Workforce Solutions

Horrible horrible !!! I do not understand how this place is still functioning. I applied for a job and got a call from a representative from this company. After going through the job description, I basically asked a question about if relocation assistance was available since I don’t live in the area and would want to know what I would expect. All I got is rude and condescending responses from him trying to suggest how stupid I am of thinking that any company will ever pay for relocation for college grads. Guess what, I known friends and relatives that had relocation assistance when they gotten positions out of college. Obviously, he knows nothing and is a complete fool. No wonder why they get all these negative reviews. This has got to be the worst experience I had encounter so far during my job search.

Keeping this short or else I can go on forever.
RUDE. Is all I have to say about the people at Volt, and that’s being nice.

If I could give zero stars I would. This office is full of incompetent employees that claim to care for your well being, but really don’t. In the process of getting a job they are attentive to your needs to a point, and then it’s impossible to get a hold of anyone when there is a problem, or even if you have questions. Nobody calls back no matter how many messages you leave. I am currently in a battle for a payroll issue that was made known before Thanksgiving and have been blown off for weeks, then told that the problem was resolved a few times to only find out it is in fact still a problem. I recommend looking elsewhere for employment if you can, this office is horrible and I will never use them again.

Dear Readers,
Please do not spend your precious time and release your personal information, your resume (also a legal document), to this agency. In all likelihood, you would be better off applying to the companies themselves and getting help and resources from your local One Stop unemployment office in San Diego or Chula Vista. I know it is hard when you may be feeling desperate but I learned my lesson today and I am lucky to have help from family so I am not drowning that much. I know I am definitely going back to that unemployment office because it is legit and federally funded.
I had an awful experience with these guys today at the Canyon Road location this morning. I worked with «sourcing specialist» Sam Grimmer. Today, I had to sit in awful traffic on the 805 and waste my gasoline to go to an interview that I apparently was not qualified for! I go in to the interview expecting to speak to someone about an entry level position. Two weeks prior, I was told by my recruiter that the position was a 6 month contract, entry level, there would be no certification needed, and there would be three weeks of paid training. Sounds incredible right? It was indeed to good to be true.
My interviewer was shocked that I was sent to them since I was a candidate lacking certification required for the position. He apologized for having me drive over there. He asked me other questions about what this recruiter had told me. He went through the interview, told me about the two categories of positions, that the interview was related to the more advanced position, not the entry level. Afterwards, he said that he did not see any positions available for me right now as an entry level worker. How embarassing and enfuriating! Good thing I have had many interviews and several more to schedule elsewhere.
Mind you, I am taking this certification exam soon, I have three years professional experience relevant to the position, am completing an education program about it at UCSD Extension in order to renew my skills and specialize because I had been working in different positions, and I am working on my M.S. related to the field at CSU San Marcos. I am definitely not a candidate that is slacking. I am really trying to succeed down here by getting my foot in the door somewhere. If I need a certification test, fine. My problem is that this company misrepresented what the actual requirements are.
Initially, this company was very responsive to have me interview by phone and set up an appointment to meet. The red flags I saw when I first entered the very lovely office: no staff except for one guy and the recruiter and no other people applying. Later, after submitting an online application and taking a skills assessment, again it took a while to get in touch with the recruiter. Following that, I had to leave several voice mails and days later would I get a response. Well, now this happened. After I got home and collected myself, I called the recruiter and left a message to call me about the interview. A couple hours of later, no response. I called the agency back to complain and was transferred to leave another voice mail with this manager Alfredo Ruiz. Same thing, no response. Clearly, it is obvious where this company’s priorities lie.

Zero stars! I missed out on 2 really good jobs because the dipshits that work here forgot to tell me the time and date. Then its on my record that i was a no show. I dont know how thus place is even in business.

These people are stupid and don’t care whether you find work or not. After applying and giving them my personal information, they said they couldn’t help me find work because I go back to school in a couple months and they need long term workers. I wish they could of said that before I wasted my time applying. Then they told me to go to labor ready. The place where all the losers go to work for a couple hours so they can have enough money to buy a tall can. Thanks a lot. I hope everyone at volt loses their jobs in the worst way and have to put up with all the crap that temp services put job seekers through. Companies like volt should illegal because good hardworking people, that are really trying to get their lives on track, get used and abused by by temp services and they’re clients.

I am writing this review on behalf of my mother who does not Unilocal.She applied to this temp agency in hopes to find a new career with the help of the Volt recruiters. After several months with no return phone calls, she found a job listing with Volt Workforce that she was interested in and qualified for. She called her recruiter, Taylor, and he rudely told her that she was not qualified for the warehouse associate position because she is only an assembler. He was ignorant of her work experience despite having an half hour interview. He did not explain why she wasn’t qualified for the position or why he hadn’t sent in her resume to the client. He repeatedly told her that she is only an assembler. How can a company succeed when their recruiters fail to effectively communicate.
My mother later contacted the Director of Recuiters, Alfred, to obtain an apology. I was so upset by the treatment that my mother was receiving that I got on the phone with Alfred. I told him, it’s not about the job listing but the horrible service given to my mother. Despite the lackluster apology that Alfred gave my mother, I believe he failed to understand that symbiotic relationship between job seekers and temp agency. Temp agencies get paid for filling positions at companies, and I would have thought they would be more helpful to people who are actively looking for jobs.
