Insight Global

Recently I was approached by a recruiter from an Insight Global office out of Atlanta. Had a great conversation with an initial recruiter (rep) who then had me speak to the account manager (mgr) for a second interview.

The interview with the mgr went well and I was asked to complete an assessment test. I completed the test and returned it to both the account manager and the initial rep. I never received any acknowledgement that the assessment was received. In fact I've not been contacted by their office since.

A week after submitting the assessment test response I called and spoke to the rep who said he'd check on the status and call me back within "24 hours".

Several days later I called both individuals as well as sent an email requested feedback. I've yet to receive a call or email response.

Having experienced this behavior in the past with recruiters I looked through my contact and email history and realized that, I've been approached ten times by an Insight Global representative over the years. Every email thread ended with me sending a follow up email requesting a status update.

I was working on a three-week assignment and the last day before the end of the assignment I was told not to go to work because somebody had complained about me at work. No other information was given.

I called the company and spoke to my recruiter the next day and asked if I was fired and they said no.

I called them the next two weeks and ask them if I was fired each time along with asking for work and they said no. Then I did not hear from them again.

When I applied for unemployment about 8 months in June when my savings ran out, they said nothing about me being fired to the state employment agency.

I had received all my benefits when they ran out, then Insight Global claimed that I was fired for cause.

The state employment agency investigated, and I told them that I was never notified by phone call by email or by postal mail that I was ever terminated. The state employment agency found that I was terminated for a non employment performance issue, and so I was determined to be able to receive unemployment benefits.

I saw a recent poster with the Joker from Batman on it and it said: "It's called karma and it's spelled Ha Ha Ha!!" ;-)

Been in the IT industry for over thirty years and have never worked with more unprofessional, inept group of people in my career. I had a chat with both recruiters right off the bat about providing feedback, keeping me informed of what was going on.

I interview with the company they sent me to. I get a call from the recruiter right after. I say it went well. Let me know their feedback.

Ok. Days go by not a peep. I contact the recruiter. I ya, hey can you send me your last few reviews from your current position.

So I sent those over. A week goes by, not a peep. I have to contact them again. The recruiter responds that they are sorry for not giving me an update.

Now two weeks after the interview they say they can't reach the client. Hmm. Ya, ok... I ask for any feedback from the client after they reviewed my reviews from my current position.

Not a peep. And by the way, my reviews were all stellar and included a promotion. So I knew the client would see that. It's been weeks and I've yet to hear any feedback or a response.

Absolute garbage. I told them from day one, good or bad give me updates or if the client wasn't interested anymore, say that. But they chose just to blow me off.

So unprofessional and lame. Says alot about the firm.
