Neteffects

This employment agency’s Chesterfield, MO branch contacted me; I did not initially contact them. I had never heard of them. They found my resume online and had a position that I was «perfect» for. I drove one hour for an interview at this employment agency. I was qualified with my Bachelor of Science degree and my resume, according to their agency, showed I was a perfect fit for this position.
I was supposed to have an interview with two people. When I arrived, I was told that they «…probably should have called to reschedule because the account manager wasn’t there that day.» The account manager was one of the two people with whom I was supposed to meet.
The interview was brief as not much could be done without the account manager present. I was told I would be contacted the next day to set up another interview. This interview may have required me to travel back to their office or, alternatively, be done in video chat.
The next day: no contact. I sent an email: nothing. I sent one more email the following week to no avail. It has been a week and I haven’t even received the courtesy of a reply. If they found a better candidate, fine! That does not excuse them from practicing business etiquette.
Considering this is a business which places professionals in business environments, this lack of courtesy and respect is indicative of a business that does not respect the very employees that drive their business.
My opinion is to stay away from this agency; do not waste your time. Find a reputable agency about whom you have received a «good word» from someone you trust.
