A Robert Half recruiter reached out to me over LinkedIn and we set up a meeting yesterday. She seemed very nice and all, but I also have seen a lot of negative stuff online about RH.

They sent me the paperwork to work with them, and I’m wondering if it’s worth it for me to go through them as a student who’s graduating next month, or if I should just job hunt on my own? Is RH an okay company to work with? Just looking for some thoughts/opinions.

Robert Half can definitely be a great resource for job seekers, especially students who are graduating soon. I personally found success with them - it took me a few weeks, but eventually I found my perfect job! I would recommend doing your research and exploring all of your options, but I think Robert Half could be a great place to start. Good luck!

The bright side is that you can always say no. It might be worth it to get the extra help in the current job market

What kind of job? If as an entry-level recruiter, what industry? Most staffing agencies are full of inexperienced people and the successful people will protect their portfolios and take the good requisitions. Prepare yourself for a brutal, soul crushing experience plagued by metrics and BS, especially if you're in the tech space. Shoot for healthcare/temp nursing. Great money, less egos, and guaranteed large candidate pools.

I think I misunderstood your post as wanting to work for them and not with them. Your mileage may vary however, Robert half generally has a good amount of requisitions. As a candidate, it is usually a good thing to have conversations as you never know where they may lead, just to be cautious as you look at the position to ensure it’s something that is actually a fit, and not just a résumé pusher.

It seems to me most of the negative reviews are from people who RH has placed in other roles, not necessarily RH FTEs. The reviews from those folks seem pretty positive.

I’m burnt out from trying to drive creative solutions for my team and clients. All everyone seems to wants is simple block & tackle tactics that don’t have deeper strategic meat to them. The briefs I read are constantly off strategy and there’s honestly seems to be a lack of common sense (e.g., don’t kick off a tactic the client doesn’t know about).

It sucks even more because pharma is already highly regulated and restrictive with how creative you can be. I just feel so spent and uninspired.
