Client Review on Volt Information Sciences, Inc

Feedback:

These people are definitely scammers. They have an office inside a nice building to make themselves look legitimate. However, when you walk inside the place is small, barely furnished, and their main floor is completely empty. This is odd because the hiring agent said they had been their for over five years; they looked like they had just moved. Each of their agents works in a private office, but because the building is half-vacant, their landlord doesn't give them control over their thermostats; and my interviewer struggled to stop sweating during the interview (what kind of company can't afford AC?). Anyway when you sign in they ask you to file out paperwork in order to be allowed to interview, their forms ask for all sorts of unnecessary personal information for a first-round interview. This is a shady tactic and they really shouldn't ask for your SSN until their is an offer or at the very least a follow-up from their employer client.I walked in on a Friday for an interview and I got to see who else are their temps. Every guy who walked in was there to pick up a paycheck and none of them looked to work a corporate job. It was clear to me that Volt probably had not "partnered with a leading automotive manufacturer in Irvine to help identify an Analyst for immediate hire." like their listing claimed (the agent said KIA North America). I didn't expect to get hired after that interview mainly because the agent made the posting sound too good to be true (well-paying temp job 25-32/hr looking for recent college grads with minimal internship experience that can lead to full-time yeah ok lol). After all I had seen from VOLT Workforce Solutions that day I really doubted they could come through with anything.But yeah it gets worse. I send a follow-up e-mail after a week to see if there are any updates and the agent doesn't reply. I send a second follow-up a week later and still no reply. I send a third follow-up another week later with specific references to the previous two e-mails and the recruiting agent finally replies saying that the Hiring Manager was in Korea (convenient) for holiday and they were still waiting to hear back from KIA. Hmmm... according to the agent the company was looking to hire immediately because they were going to lose employees to maternity leave for an extended period and wanted to train beforehand. Four months later they are still posting the same position listing on their website and other job boards word-for-word. VOLT Workforce Solutions in Irvine is either awful at filling their job contracts or they are straight-up lying to job seekers. Do not bother with them, other temp agencies aren't this awful and dehumanizing.
