Client Review on Pro Search, Inc.

Feedback:

I was contacted by Audra through email initially because she had seen my resume on LinkedIn. We set up a meeting at the office where she asked me about my experience and preferences for jobs. After the meeting, she followed up with a couple of job options via email. I chose one in HR, and she emailed me back saying the company didn’t think I had enough experience for that position, but there was a lower position that I would be great for in another department. I took this job and worked in the position for close to five months. I did great work in the position and constantly received positive feedback from the manager. Then suddenly one Tuesday evening, Prosearch called me to inform me that the position I was working in was ending due to budgetary issues, effective immediately, and I was not to go into work the next day. I was very confused and a little heartbroken, but it is a temp job so I guess that’s just what happens sometimes. Audra was very quick to get me into another position at a different company right away. However, I really hated the new position, and after the two-week training session, I told Audra that the position really didn’t work for me and I would not be going back. She said she’d let the company know and asked me to go in for a meeting with her to pick up my belongings from the previous position (yes, it took them two weeks to get my belongings to me) and to talk about my job preferences again. After that meeting I have not heard back from her. I have reached out multiple times in the two months since our last meeting and heard nothing. I can only assume that prosearch has decided not to work with me anymore for whatever reason, but I think it’s very unprofessional how they ‘ghosted’ me like this. The pros of working for a temp agency are that you get paid weekly and they can get you into a position very quickly, however the cons are that they have no actual contract to continue working with you, the companies they put you into positions for are paying them a lot of money for your work and often will have to pay a finders fee if they want to actually hire you, and you are very expendable to them. Take what they say with a grain of salt, expect to be put in positions lower than your experience/expectations, and don’t count on continued employment.
