Client Review on Nelson, Inc.

Feedback:

EMPLOYERS Beware: Given the low unemployment in the area, this company now has sunk down to reaching into their "roladex" of past contacts (whether Nelson actually worked with them or not) and actively calling them to try and place them in a better job. While I understand this is great from an employee position, as an employer its tantamount to poaching. In our particular case, our employee was told they were underpaid for the position even though our employee had no previous experience in it and was taught everything from scratch. But Nelson heard some key words in what our employee was doing and automatically assumed they have a background in it and then told the employee they are underpaid. It's easy for a company like Nelson to say that if they have a larger company willing to pay Nelson to find a candidate and overpay themselves given the lack of candidates in the market right now. The kicker is then they have the nerve to contact you, the now former employer, AFTER your employee has been hired away by Nelson to "Fact check". Shouldn't they be doing that BEFORE hiring? Not if you are getting paid like Nelson is. Unbelievable. This may be the norm on wall street, but for small businesses on main street, trying to keep up with astronomical increase in payroll costs, its a killer. I applaud my former employee and wish them the best, but I would never use Nelson to hire nor hire a candidate who has had any contact with them knowing this is their practice.
