Infinity Consulting Solutions

This agency contacts me about job openings that have only the faintest relationship to my past job experience.
I agree with the other reviewers comment that they appear to be in the job sales business rather than assisting someone in advancing their career.
I have asked them several times to discontinue contact– the most recent contact I sent a very terse reply to no longer contact me by any means. Let’s see if it works.
I would suggest that you avoid this company.

Worst in Chicago. Was called by Bryant Monday who kept dribbling unprofessionally over the phone for an hour about a position he didn’t have too much knowledge about. Then, he transferred me to his co-​worker Anne who asked me 1 or 2 questions and adamantly requested I come into the office ASAP as the client is in an urgent need to fill the role. Meaning they are competing with 50 other recruiting firms for placement of one position at one company. When I entered the office I was surprised at the unprofessionalism. Recruiters wearing baseball caps, call center floor plan and layout and the loud nature of the office atmosphere. So, I met with Anne only, because Gary — the actual contact with the company was unavailable. My interview was in an open space in the corner of the call center where there were loud noise in the background. I was actually surprised that Anne didn’t know what a Sales Consultant was. I think she was fresh out of college. Then Anne referred someone else to talk to me who was still in training and didn’t know anything about the client or the position. I guess she assumed that asking me the same repetitive questions Anne did and smiling like she just ate a Happy Meal were keys to success. Word of advice — stay far far far away from these people this place. It will get you NOWHERE!

Mis-​represented the position they wanted to hire me for. Did not get the details right.
They also called my references without ME GIVING them my references’ phone number! NOT COOL! You DO NOT CALL unless you are given a phone number. I was told they were called several times in one day. Very unprofessional.
Pretty much shows that they are salesman, and you’re just a commodity.

I had been job hunting (particle physics Ph.D. moving from academia to industry) for about 4 months with no success. The general industry attitude towards people with my experience seems to range from indifferent to hostile, so I and my job-​hunting peers have been having a very difficult time.
Many head hunting firms have contacted me over the past few months and all have proved useless. Then, a few weeks ago, I heard from Infinity, assumed the same, but gave them a chance. The quickly got me into the interview process with two local, very interesting companies. Both went at least fairly well and one turned into an offer.
So I’ve been consistently impressed with the Infinity team’s organized, disciplined, and effective efforts. If you’re another HEP person like me, give Infinity a chance and ask for Chris Noonan, since he now has a little experience with placing us.

I have known a couple of consultants there for almost 4 years now and have nothing to say but good things about them.
Especially, Gary. He is not one of those consultants who bug you only when they need you and turn cold when you need them. He does not help you just to get a job, but he actually thinks about your career. Whatever he brought to me, it was a «perfect» job for me. I was hired once through him and once I seriously considered, but the timing was not right.
In order to do their business in such manner, he and his colleagues need to have in depth knowledge of industry and maintain good relationships with hiring managers. They have both and have them very well. These days, most of hiring are done through company websites, but Gary and his colleagues have been helping hiring managers find the right talents as well as talented candidates find the right job. Their recommending you gives you one step ahead of other candidates who spend hours inputting data in HR portal. On top of all this, if you are candidates for VP or higher position, you would definitely feel advantage of their help.
If you are confident that you have skills to sell, but do not know where to start, then do not hesitate to knock on their door!

ICS is a consulting company that works with you through the whole process — unlike most of them. They worked hard trying to bring myself and the client together.

I was contacted by ICS in Oct 2012 after posting my resume on Career Builder. They told me they had a few opportunities that I may be a good fit for and invited me in for an interview. I scheduled the introductory interview and asked more questions about the specific job they had in mind for me. It was a great fit and after going into the introductory interview to get more info about the position it sounded even more perfect.
The actual employer interview was scheduled for the next week and the entire process was wonderful. ICS contacted me after the interview and assisted me with the salary and benefits negotiation after receiving a job offer.
It’s been 6 months and ICS has followed up with me 3 times to make sure the new job is a great fit. I couldn’t be happier with the entire ICS experience. They are tremendously helpful. I highly recommend ICS!

Nicole at ICS first found me a couple years ago when I had posted my resume online. I was let go because of a department layoff due to a company merger. At the time, I was already working with a few recruiters, but ICS was the only one that kept in contact with me almost daily. I ended up finding a position on my own, which was mostly due to the positions’ hiring managers Nicole was working with dragging their heels.
Fast forward to 2 months ago, where I found myself on the market again (which is a whole other story). I contacted Nicole, and she had a couple positions available that I was a good fit for. After I looked at the descriptions and OK’d the positions, she and her team, got right to work setting up phone interviews for me (I can’t tell you how many times I’ve «been a fit» for a position, but after a phone interview (without OK’ing the position prior) I’d been left wondering if the recruiter had even read my resume).
After the phone interview I was brought in for an in-​person interview, which ended up getting me an offer for the position. I gladly accepted, and I’m still here now. Nicole has checked in with me twice to see how I was doing, and to let me know about the great reviews I was getting from the company.
I was quite happy with the whole experience, and I would definitely work with them again.
Thank you Nicole, and ICS!

I received a call from Greg about 6 months ago about an opportunity I was interested in. Similar to most recruiting firms, I had to go in to meet him before my information would be sent over. I was impressed at how professional Greg handled our meeting. I have met with several other recruiting firms that lure you in with the standard «great opportunities I think you would be a great fit for», but when you go in, they don’t actually have anything. They take all your information, waste an hour of your time and say they’ll keep you in mind if anything comes up. I really appreciated how he handled my search. Other places have tried to convince me to consider roles I wasn’t interested in or didn’t even qualify for. Even though I had an accounting background and Greg did not, he spoke with me in great detail to make sure that this particular position was in my range of interest and that I was qualified. That particular role did not pan out, but the next time he called (about a few weeks ago), I was sure to return his call because of my positive experience with him.
Greg recently placed me in a position one level higher for a larger salary and I am happy with my experience.

I first received a call from a Kristyn on June 19. She spoke to me briefly about my background and what types of jobs I was looking for. I receive a follow up email from Kristyn stating the following:
«Marlon–
It was a pleasure speaking with you today and getting to know a little bit more about your experience. I have a couple jobs you would be a good fit for. I look forward to meeting you on June 20^th at 2pm, and going over your qualifications. Go ahead and attach your latest Word resume so I have a fresh copy to work with. Feel free to contact me at any time before our apt. if you have any questions or concerns.
Also, go ahead and click on the link under my signature to register online before coming in the office in order to save us some time when you get here.»

I interview with Kristyn the next day and I am immediately struck by the unprofessional atmosphere at Infinity Consulting Solutions, people goofing off, loud talking, and side remarks about phone calls they just received. Infinity Consulting Solutions basically is a call center with one meeting room, and I «interview» with one of their phone reps (Kristyn).
The interview was awkward, as Kristyn couldn’t make/​keep eye contact with me, she was stumbling over her words etc. We never talked about any of the supposed «couple of jobs» she claimed she had available, and the interview was quick.
Kristyn claims I would be a good fit for a job at a law firm, an entry-​level graphic design job which I am totally qualified for, and that she will get back to me in a few days as the law firm is «looking to move quickly». Days later, I hear from Kristyn, and her story has changed! Now, the hiring manager is out of town, they are interviewing next week, and that she will get back with me by the end of the week.
After this, I lose all contact with Kristyn, and she must have forgot all about how I was a «good fit» etc. Now every time I call her she doesn’t answer her phone.
In a nutshell, I would steer CLEAR of this place unless you just want to practice your interview skills or waste your time, because that’s all you will likely get out of Infinity Consulting Solutions.
