RealStaffing Reviews 

Having registered a while back and often not received an email response from the advisors when looking for work - but ended up staying put - I recently advised I am now looking for a role. Someone new rang me on a Fri, scheduled a meeting for the Mon and didn't bother to show up! How do these people make a living, presumably not from commission nowadays?! Having phoned and emailed her to no avail I gave up waiting after 15 minutes. I emailed again and someone responded a few days later saying the girl was on leave, if so why schedule a meeting??!! How could she not remember if she really was going to be off? However, since she still hasn't bothered to contact me/apologise, clearly not bothered about representing Real Staffing and the poor image it has given.

Would have given zero but 1 is the lowest I'm able to give.
I clearly told this agency that I was available at a set time, which they ignored and instead scheduled an interview meeting later. This agency then couldn't be bothered to attend this meeting even when they knew that everyone waiting in the lobby couldn't get into the meeting. They then have the nerve to ask when the meeting is over did we manage to get access despite knowing that people were unable to get access! No apologies or follow up when I said couldn't make a time I had already said I wouldn't be available. Agencies need to remember that as middlemen they are very disposable in this era even more so than potential employees

A recruiter called me about an assignment and I told him I was working. Without my permission, he sent an email to my manager asking for a reference and stated that he was trying to secure an assignment for me. It could have cost me my job. Avoid at all costs.

Their employees give poor professionalism to say the least. They shortlisted me for a position I had applied to in Zürich (fabiola Miranda was the name of the person who spoke to me on the phone), so she called me and out of the blue she stopped the call faking the need to drop urgently to another call. “Can I call you back like in 40 min?” - never heard from her again.

This is the poorest, the most ridiculous and for sure the least professional way of rejecting a person I’ve ever seen in my entire life, not even counting that I couldn’t even finish my sentences, so I guess during the call she realized that she called me by mistake.

And to finish the story beautifully, I sent her a message on LinkedIn (she had requested a connection) the day after telling her that I had waited for her to call me back —> ghosted.

I have no words…

I can see others have had problems, I felt very mislead and the information I was given did not match the work i was too do or the time period. I had to do a data request to get to the bottom of what really happened.

This company's landline numbers have not been in use for over 2 years and they still advertise the numbers online and display them in email signatures, including when they DON'T include a mobile number. So you have no option but to try a landline they are not going to answer! They do not respond to web messages or emails alerting them to any problems. They are just not interested.

It is a challenge to get through to staff and it appears that this suits them because they want to control how you contact them and when they respond. It's not only frustrating, it's very unprofessional.

They have no problem contacting you under the guise of a general chat about work opportunities when what they actually want is to elicit information about your contacts from previous contract roles. They're not the only agency who do this, however it's poor practice and doesn't build trust.

This company could be so much better and it's a shame for those employees who have a good approach.

What’s up with Real Staffing?
Called around 2pm and at 3:30pm today (15/12/2023) to speak to someone, all I got was a message saying “their offices are now closed, business hours are from 8:30am & 5:30pm”. Do not understand how the office is closed during their business hours as quoted?
Is there no help desk or live chat?
This is scary

Ghost recruiter, waste of time. They contact you and you respond then they ghost you.

This is a great company and they will be friendly towards you until it's time to get paid, then you will unfortunately stop hearing from them.

I had been working with them for 2 months in 2019 and they haven't paid me and still haven't responded to my contact attempts.
