JVT Advisors

Very belligerent recruiter called my phone 4 times in less than 36 hours then denied doing so even when I was looking at the call log on my cell phone. He told me that I obviously didn’t know how to count. Less than 10 minutes after I hung up on him, you guessed it, they called me again.

I cannot be more positive about my experience working with JVT Advisors. I was contacted directly by Chris Silva, a recruiter with JVT, who came across my resume on one of the job sites I’d had it listed. Chris was professional, asked all the right questions, provided all the details around the job and the company. We discussed a specific position that matched my background and experience and, after the initial phone screening, I went in and met with him at their office in Andover.
Chris kept me in the loop throughout the interview process and I’m happy to say, he was right. It was a perfect fit.
I highly recommend Chris and JVT and have! Great agency. Great experience.

I’ve given up on assuming they are professional or even rational. It started three years ago when I went out on a job interview. Unfortunately, I gave up my mobile number because I was on the road and they gave me the wrong directions. After the interview, they told me I got the job but an hour later said that it dried up and the company decided not to hire anyone. But despite my previous experience with them, they not only keep calling me back for jobs which do not match my skill set, but they keep calling me on my mobile phone. Today I got another call from them on my mobile phone, and they call every month or so. I have asked them politely in the past to not call me on my mobile phone but call me at my home phone number, but apparently they are attention-​span-​­deprived because they don’t seem to remember (ever see the movie «Memento?»). Even though they keep saying sorry and will update the database, it never happens. Today «Brian» was very abrupt and took it personally that I told them to stop calling me on my cell (home okay) and challenged me when I said that we’ve been through this before. The staff seems to turnover rapidly, so I see this as another red flag. Enough said, I recommend you stay away from these guys, and relegate them strictly to the bush league.
Update 29 Sept 2014: Today a new «Brian» from JVT called me to tell me it was really «Ryan’s» fault. .On my mobile phone!, they still don’t get it. Did they ever update the database? Is there any «there» there on the other end of the phone?

I was cold-​called, spoke for about 30 seconds, and was hung-​up on. About a minute after that call, I got an e-​mail, presumably from the guy who just called me, about two jobs way out of my preferred work area.
Never heard of them before, and hope to never hear from them again. Said they found my resume on Dice, and that’s all the information I got out of the call.
