Kforce

K-​Force is awful.
Do not use or bother with this agency.
I had food poisoning the day of my 1^st interview and gave plenty notice.
THEN, after touching base with the woman with whom I’d be interviewing said she’d reschedule the following week. No call, no email. Silence
Then we finally did reschedule the week after that and she was A NO SHOW! I sat in the reception area waiting and waiting and even the receptionist didn’t know she’d left work early. She didn’t have the decency to call or email me to let me know that she was cancelling/​postponing our meeting. So I wasted my time AND money to get there.
So we rescheduled *yet again* and even had my suit and tie on but my suit trousers tore down the side as I getting ready to go in. I called her right away and explained that I didn’t want to cancel our meeting but if I may go in with business casual clothes (since I only have ONE suit). I had my tie on and portfolio ready and was ready to meet except you could see my underwear through the tear.
She said, «This is unbelievable.» and hung up on me!
And then she had the nerve to say that she did not believe I fit the standard of professionalism that KForce provides to its clients.
Hel-​lo?!? She COMPLETELY flaked on me… she had my number, my email and couldn’t bother to notify me beforehand that she wouldn’t be there!!! And she had the gall to call ME unprofessional?!
I have a degree from one of the top universities in the nation. I have TONS of excellent professional experience along with strong professional references.
Do not bother with KForce in San Francisco.

Let’s just start out with I am originally from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. My previous job in Milwaukee I had for 1 year, but then lost my job on March 11^th, 2015. I ended up moving to Sacramento, California at the end of April 2015 with my husband because he got a better job opportunity than what he had back in Milwaukee, WI.
Since I was new to the area of Sacramento, I started looking for staffing agencies that could possibly help me. Unfortunately, I came across Kforce Staffing Agency, and Eric Vega was one of the «Talent Qualification Specialist’s» to help me, At first everything was going fine, well I thought…
First incident: Eric Vega found a customer service position for me at Blue Shield I believe it was in Rancho Cardova, but pardon me if I am mistaken, I am still learning the areas. Anyway, I got an interview with them, and it was THE MOST HORRIBLE JOB INTERVIEW EVER. Not only was it a phone interview (which I hate those because they are not interpersonal), but when I called the Human Resources Manager, she had no idea who I was and why I was calling. I had to explain to her that Eric Vega from Kforce had set up this interview for me and that was why I was calling, she sounded so lost. She then said «well right now I don’t have any of your paperwork pulled up because I had no idea you were calling, but let’s get this over and done with.» I didn’t even know what to say to that, but just to keep my cool and see if the phone interview got better. She then did one of those scenario things where she acted like a customer and I had to act like an employee of Blue Shield. After that epic fail, I asked her if I could ask her some questions regarding the position and the company, she said I could just wait until my face to face interview and that it really wasn’t necessary. Not only was she really rude, but she was so unprofessional and did not even care. I was so upset that Eric Vega from Kforce had set me up with this horrible situation. I called Eric Vega after the interview to tell him how everything went, and I was honestly so upset that I was crying because I have been out of a job for 7 months. Eric Vega, then apologized and said that this issue shouldn’t of happened, he said he was going to do some «research» as to why this happened. He ended up saying that it was a «technical difficulty.» I just thought «wow» to myself for someone really making up that horrible of an excuse.
Second incident: Eric Vega found me a customer service position at a different Blue Shield in a different location. He said that they were super interested in me because I did a great job on the tests that I had to take for the position. I still to this day have not heard anything back from that Blue Shield. Eric Vega then said since Blue Shield at the new location wasn’t getting back to me, he said he found another position for customer service at Sutter Shared Services. He sent over the information about the position to me and had me sign a paper saying it was okay for him to send my resume over. Not even the next day, he came back to me leaving a voicemail saying «Hey Katie, unfortunately the position has been filled with Sutter Shared Services, and that I just have to wait for Blue Shield at the new location to get back to me.» I called Eric Vega back and left him a voicemail, and he did not call me back for 1 week straight. He just called me back yesterday (10÷27÷15), when I left that voicemail on his phone 1 week before. Yesterday (10÷27÷15) when he finally called me back out of nowhere, I was obviously flustered with him and asked him why I hadn’t heard from him in 1 week, he said because there was another «technical difficulty» in their system and «he never received my voicemail.» As he already used that excuse before, I started asking him why it was so easy for me to apply to 1 position at JCPENNEY’S and get an interview right away, but when it comes to him helping me, it either doesn’t go good, or it just doesn’t work out. He then got a horrible attitude with me and told me I was complaining and was just being very rude with me. He also said the only companies that he is going to refer me to is Sutter and Blue Shield and «how I should have known that already.» I asked him why he could only pertain to those 2 companies for me, when there are so many other positions out there for me, and he could not even answer that. I then said next time he wants to say that I am complaining, I will have to talk this to his manager and I hung up. He then called me back and left me a voicemail saying that he was no longer going to help me, and that he thought I was unprofessional and rude and he wishes me «good luck.»
Eric Vega from Kforce Staffing Agency did not help me what’s so ever, the only thing he did was cause me more stress as I said I have been out of a job for 7 months now. I will never recommend Kforce to anyone because they are a waste of time and make lies up. WORST EXPERIENCE EVER!

I earned my degree in Business Administration early last year and have both administrative and accounting experience. I turned to KForce for help finding a job. I went in for an interview in April and they matched me with a job in Oakland a few days later. After the interview, I was told by the KForce recruiter, Kayla P., that she would follow up later that day to see how the interview went and my next steps. After a MONTH with absolutely NO CONTACT, I sent her an email as well as a voicemail. After waiting an additional TWO weeks I sent another email and voicemail, and I still had no response. At this point I called the office and spoke with a receptionist about my dilemma and she transferred me to her manager. Minutes after my conversation with the manager, Kayla P. responded to my email which, by the way, was sent SIX weeks prior! She claimed that she reached out to me several times by email and phone and that I never responded. This is an absolute LIE! I am unemployed and desperately needed a job. I always have my phone by me ²⁴⁄₇. I have no emails, voicemails, or missed calls from KForce. Rather than owning up to her failure to follow up, she lies and pushes the blame on me! Wow! Since then, I have never heard from KForce. I was most likely put on their «blacklist». What an awful place. They lie to job seekers, waste their time, and give them false hope. They just want to meet their daily quota by having job seekers fill out forms, and interviewing them. Everything they say is scripted. I have since decided to find work on my own.

Bringing this 4 star rating down to reality…
Long story short…
Received a call from a recruiter in Florida for work in the medical field… — cool
Asked to go in and fill out a MOUNTAIN of paperwork in San Francisco… — not fun took at least an hour and a half.
Interviewed and told I was accepted for the position…- success
Asked to get hepatitis shots 4 times!!! — completed OUCH!
Never contacted or given a call back after all the blood and proactivity I literally put into the process… — WTF?
After MULTIPLE back and forth calls to KForce I gave up on them… — Communication breakdown
Found a smaller agency that got me in the medical field in a better position FULL TIME, I might add, for double the pay!!! — Success without the help of KForce.
Be wary of how much effort you put in and how much they give back. This may not be the case for everyone dealing with them, but it was for me. They are now calling me back for other opportunities, which is why I had to write this review. I will not deal with them again. Ever.

Kforce found my resume on Monster for a position in SF even though they are based in Florida. I talked to an agent in FL, then an agent in SF, then their client on the phone and I was hired. Six months later I still have my full time gig, and with more dignity than most consulting firms give their talent. Their HR people are nice, quick, and understanding as well.
As consulting firms go, Kforce is as good as it gets.
Not sure what your mileage would be if you contacted them before they contacted you, but they deserve credit for good placement.
