Insight Global

Occasionally I go to the linkedin page for the recruiters who have contacted me in the past to see who is still there and who has left.
The last recruiter I dealt with who ignored me when I questioned «why did you not reply to me?» has quit. According to linkedin, this person was there about 8 months. From the rip off report I read, that is common.
Doesn’t matter anymore. Insight Global is blocked on my end, and I will never deal with these unprofessional kids again.
I have been dealing with many recruiters from Insight Global in Bellevue since I moved here a few years ago. They are indeed ran by a bunch of young college kids, fresh out of school, and if you look up their names on linkedin, the majority were previously in sales, marketing, or some entry level job. Ok, there is nothing wrong with that. None of them that I researched have even a slight professional background. Ok again, they are young, what do I expect?
The recruiters who stand out the most in my mind are Brittany, Julie, Lawrence, and Halina. Almost everybody who works in the Bellevue office has contacted me about jobs. They send a common canned email saying «A great new job just opened up and I want to tell you all about it! Call me right away!» In the past, I did call, and almost every time, the job has nothing to do with my resume, they just send out an email blast.
Even worse, when I do reply and ask for more information, because I don’t want to call, in over 50% of the cases, I never get a reply.
In my years at Microsoft, Insight Global is the laughing stock and they are well known around campus to be one of the worst, most unprofessional recruiting companies. What do you expect from a bunch of kids?
Early on I dealt with Brittany, who was great. She replied to emails, returned my calls, and really tried hard. She is the ONLY person who ever made serious effort for me. After she had been there almost a year, she moved up the ladder, and I never heard from her again.
Next was Julie Rupert. I talked her to on the phone, we hit it off, and she said to come in for an interview and she had a few jobs to run by me. At the same time, someone from Insight in another state contacted me about another job and submitted my resume. The day I met Julie, I drove to the office, and she said she couldn’t talk to me because I was working with someone else. WHAT? She couldn’t call and tell me that? I wasted my time because of HER unprofessionalism and inability to tell me anything over the phone. Then she started an attitude that she doesn’t want to work with anybody who is not smiling and happy. After what just happened? Nobody would be happy to be screwed like that.
Lawrence Dearth has sent me numerous emails, and just about every time, he fails to follow up. I replied and asked for more detail, but he rarely replies. This is exactly the case for the majority of them.
Recently Halina Moran contacted me, she seemed nice, eager to help, and wanting to make a difference. I reluctantly met with her and decided to give her a chance.
We worked together for a couple of months, and things went well. Then out of nowhere, she quit replying to me. I waited 2 weeks, then she finally said she was sorry, had been sick, and started following up. Ok fine. Nobody else can check her email while she is out? How about an auto responder saying she is out sick? We aren’t psychic Halina.
Within a few weeks, she began sending me more jobs. I asked her for a follow up, but she didn’t reply. Over the period of two weeks, I sent her FIVE emails asking to please let me know what is going on. No reply. Then out of nowhere, she sends me another job and asks if I like it. I said hold on, why did you ignore all the other messages I sent? That was over a week ago. Still no reply.
The people at Insight Global are all the same. Young, usually recent college graduates, no technical experience, very little knowledge of the industry, clueless, and very unprofessional.
There is a story on rip off report where a former employee told what they are like on the inside. I found out when they ask for references, they are really using those to get more job sources.

Erica at Insight Global has been truly an out of this world recruiter! I was referred to Insight Global in Seattle through a friend — I live in California and am relocating to Seattle and was lost as to where to begin my job search. Erica narrowed down great opportunities for me, has set interviews up for me, and most importantly landed me a great job opportunity — at a distance too!!! Her friendly personality keeps the job hunt stress free, and her ambition to secure me a position has kept me motivated this whole time. Thank you Insight Global and thanks Erica for all of your handwork !!!
