Robert Half Technology

Robert Half was very proactive in my job search and I would definitely recommend them to those looking for technical roles in the Austin/​San Antonio area as a tool for your job search.
I was looking for developer roles in my field after completing a coding bootcamp when I was contacted by a Robert Half recruiter out of San Antonio. I am a 6-​year Austinite and do not plan on leaving this city, but I let the process continue for a position in a great tech company down there. I figured if it panned out then I would make my decision at that time whether it was worth the commute or not (from South Austin it ends up being about an hr ¯\_(ツ)_/¯). When it came down to making my final decision for positions, my best two offers, once all the interviewing was said and done, were from a start up company in Austin and a larger tech company out of San Antonio that Robert Half presented to me. I was surprised because I thought that I would definitely choose an Austin position over commuting out of the city, but it turns out I am really happy with the position that Robert Half brought to me because it was the best overall choice for my career; I am growing a lot in my field, I have great coworkers, and I am very happy with the compensation.
Now I don’t think that I would have even considered the position if it weren’t for the work that John Henry, my Robert Half recruiter, put into getting me in front of hiring managers for interviews. When it came down to it, I just wanted to be able to get in front of other developers who were hiring and show them what I could do and convince them that I was the best person for the role, and John Henry did just that for me. Throughout the process he was very attentive and comfortable to speak to and I felt like he was working hard to get me in for interviews.
Overall feedback for people thinking about working with Robert Half: You still have to keep looking for a job on your own, but Robert Half is a great resource that can help you find a position with a great company that you might not have access to otherwise. Just my experience.

Just another 3^rd party «recruiter» used by companies to get away with discrimination. I am well educated, have several marketable skills, and have great experience. I have NO criminal record. Charlatans like this post jobs — when I respond that I am interested in a certain job, I never get an interview or job offer. Shame on them. What will they do when they have major family obligations and need to choose between family or work? I chose to leave employment for awhile while my husband was in the military and I had special needs children and elderly mother who couldn’t care for herself. Now that I am trying gain employment, I am repeatedly kicked to the curb by hurtful «screeners» because I am unemployed. Very hurtful and very un-​American.
Reply to Robert Half — YOU DO discriminate against the unemployed and military families.

Don’t waste your time with this crappy agency. They low ball you in pay. They don’t care how much you make and give you what’s left over. The company that held/​bought my contract reneged on their part of the deal and fired me 2 weeks before Christmas and Robert Half DID NOTHING to help me get a job. When I asked why they fired me. Nada! Not even a «Go Fuck Yourself or He sucks and is a bad employee»! Nothing!
