Fortira

Seems sketchy. Left a voice mail and sent me the description of position that, if they had taken the time to review my resume would have seen, I am blatantly not qualified for. The description said an advanced degree is required. I only have an undergraduate degree. Email also requested the last 4 of my SS#. "

I have also found Fortira to use very deceptive practices here in New Jersey. Most recently a job they were filling and wanted to submit me on. A day later I agreed to being submitted and I was told The “position is closed”. It took multiple questions before getting the truth which was they had already submitted their quota of candidates. He must have thought I would not seek out that same job with another staffing firm.Then he said they Just received another opening to fill. We discussed. I asked what the rate was and reminded him my rate is typically much higher than what his company offers. After going back-and-forth with him asking me my rate (always love when they answer a question with a question) he finally provided a figure. When I said it was lower than my usual I have to think about it he suddenly offered another $15 an hour. Candidates know this is usually BS and I said I didn’t trust him or his company. They have played this game before. When I insisted on knowing how he could offer $15 more and it be legit ( As opposed to stating they have submitted me when in fact they have not but were trying to remove me from the pool of potential candidates) he stated he offered me this lower rate because weeks prior I had agreed to this rate for a very different job.Now mind you the entire time I was questioning him he thought it was funny and was Actually laughing. Totally disrespectful but what else can you expect from this “Kind” of company (and you know what I mean by that).Know your worth and don’t be scammed by them.Know who the liars are. "

This agency contacted me about a contract opportunity with one of their clients in Indianapolis, Indiana, where I live. I did a phone screening and an interview with the client. It took them 5 weeks to get back to me. They offered me the position, but I had taken a part time position and wanted a couple of days to think about it. I had interviews with other companies for permanent positions that came up. I called back to say that I would like to take the position, but I needed to give 2 weeks notice at my part time job. They said they would "get back to me." a week ago. Luckily, I was offered and have accepted a permanent position from one of the employer's with whom I had subsequently interviewed with, because evidently they have moved on to another candidate. This is a very unprofessional agency. They do not communicate effectively, and they treat candidates poorly. "

Very nice... "
