I’ve been very pleased with the assignments I’ve had through Accountability Resources. The ladies are all very helpful and quick to reply. I really recommend this agency!

I have used Accountability Resources multiple times as an employer and seen them interact with recruits as well. I would recommend their services to any professional looking for his or her next opportunity or any employer that needs assistance finding well qualified candidates.

Thumbs down. I’m a huge believer in being assertive, especially if your job is in sales. However, I think some sales people have to be mindful of the balance between persistent and outright annoying and invasive. THEIR SALESPEOPLE ARE JUST THAT. Now honestly, that isn’t how you gain clients — by shoving what you think they want down their throats. Not okay. It doesn’t look good on the company they represent, nor does it look good for the candidates they are pushing. Job applicants, find a better staffing agency. Employers, beware. Pushy, annoying salespeople/​recruiters are NEVER fun, and just plain inefficient.
Oh wow, I just read the other review for these guys. They are complaining about the same person I am!

If I based this review on Zoe Koonce who is a recruiter at AR, I would give a stellar rating. However, the quality of a company if often limited by the management. Sadly that is the case here.
Once I connected with Zoe, I found her upbeat, flexible and professional. She eagerly submitted me to several jobs and within a couple weeks I was on my way to an interview. Next day the offer comes and I’m delighted. For some reason Laurie, the Division Director, took control and things instantly went from great to horrible. Later that week with Laurie in control of negotiations the offer was rescinded because they found a candidate that was a better «technical or cultural» fit. Needless to say I was upset but being a professional maintained my composure.
Hoping to make this a learning experience I called the HR person at the hiring company and asked if they could give me more specifics on why my offer was pulled. Although she tried to direct me to AR, I let me know that they had already forwarded me some feedback but I was looking for specifics. Although the HR person was obviously nervous, I assure you the tone of the conversation was conversational *not* confrontational.
About 30 minutes later Laurie calls. This is the first I have spoken with her but apparently that is not a barrier to her being snippy, condescending and unprofessional. She let me know that she’s and agent like «Jerry Macguire» and I should have not contacted the company. I told her that I was sorry if I caused trouble but explained my intent. That was met by a few more minutes of her tirade, told me that I had jeopardized her relationship with the hiring company and then her hung up on me.
This is a competitive job market and having the right folks on your side makes a huge difference. That difference was Zoe but Laurie’s demeanor eclipsed it.
