Does anyone have any experience with working for Robert Half International?

Question

I mean, internally, as a recruiter working for Robert Half. So for example, generating new business from clients, filling job orders, interview candidates, etc?

What are the targets like, the culture and atmosphere? All insight would be helpful.

Answer 1

I interviewed to be a Recruiter with RHI corporate and their Temporary Staffing Positions Recruiter, but found that I was not a good fit because I had a brain. I know that sounds silly, but most of there recruiters do not have a college degree, yet 90% of the jobs you recruit for require one, and the staff only sees dollar signs, not what is always the best fit for the client or staff.
If you are ok with wasting some peoples time just to offer an interview, you will fitin fine I am sure.

Answer 2

The targets, clients list and training all depends which branch you apply to. Robert Half is governed by SOX requirements, so their documentation and everything else is on the up and up.

An earlier poster said she and her husband paid them money and got nothing. Well 20 years ago most recruiters were candidate paid recruiters, these days they are paid by the companies they work with so it's entirely different.

As for the education requirements, it again has to do with who you are recruiting and how you understand them. It is true that finance managers that become recruiters typically are better finance recruiters because they understand who they are talking to.

The business is mostly smile and dial. And you will have to learn to love rejection, dealing with managers who never get back to you and candidates that go around behind your back. But you also get the chance to change someones life. If you are willing to put up with 95% annoyance for 5% reward, then you will probably do fine as an account manage or recruiter for Robert Half.

Answer 3

My husband tried them over 20 years ago and got nothing for the amount of money we paid them.
