Waste of time!

About 2 weeks ago, I saw a posting for an Office Manager starting @ $50K. The posting said to call the office. I did so and spoke with a very rude woman, Karen. She acted completely put out as if I was thoroughly interrupting her day! I sent in my resume to which she responded a few hours later saying I had "poor" work history b/c I had not held a position for more than a year. I came back to tell her that I had in fact been with the same company for over 4 years. If she had payed closer attention to my resume, she would've noticed the natural progression I had made with the company. She told me that her "client" pays a lot of money to post positions through The Hadden Group and she could not chance it on someone who clearly was not qualified. The entire situation was bogus to me and unneccesary to say the least. I would recommend steering clear of this company. They are inattentive, careless and disorganized!

Tremendous Wast of Time

How do they stay in business? A tremendous waste of my time. I saw EA for $50K on careerbuilder and called them. I registered with them and tested. Mysteriously, the position was filled, although, 3 weeks later I saw it advertised again. Called them up. Again, mysteriously the position was filled. They simply don't have these jobs! Don't bother with them. They talk a good game, but have nothing.

Rude Receptionist

The receptionist is definitely rude. I called a couple of weeks ago and asked about part-time positions and she said, very rudely "We don't have part-time positions." Which is not true. The Hadden group placed me in awesome part-time position and I worked for the company for 4 years. I also interviewed for a part-time position just last summer courtesy of the Hadden Group. I proceeded to tell the receptionist this and she said "Well, that was a fluke" From a busiuess point of view, this was not a very professional statement or attitude regarding her company. I will not be calling them in the future.

Don't waste your time!

I totally agree with all reviews. I'm not sure how this company stays in business. People don't waste your time with these folks - the $50 EA positions do not exist! You are better off marketing yourself and contacting companies directly.

AVOID THEM AT ALL COSTS

TERRIBLE! These "professionals" treated me as though I was an infant with no experience whatsoever. The women act like they run a sorority house instead of a staffing business acting too-good and never...

They discriminate

I went in last October to test. The receptionist was rude and snobby. It was obvious I didn't fit their profile when someone younger, thinner, and better dressed was treated entirely differently. My recruiter stuck me on a pc to test and I could hear the employees in the breakroom laughing and talking. No one ever checked on me. When the test were over I went to the front looking for the recruiter. I walked into the employee breakroom because I couldn't find anyone. I was told she would contact me. I never heard from anyone. I am glad to hear I am not the only one that had this experience.

Poor excuse for an agency

I am an Executive and went through this company. I was not placed nor even called back. They only want to place you with no conversations, nor meetings to even get to know the person on paper. You will be very...

Try other agencies please

If you are looking for an agency that cares more about placing you in the best fit possible than their own fee, look elsewhere. A good recruiter will try to build up your confidence or tells you what you can...

They don't have jobs

Back in April, I signed, tested, and "interviewed" with them. Two days later, was looking on careerbuilders.com and saw they advertised for an EA to CEO $50K which fit my experience perfectly. Called my rep; asked her if she faxed my resume; "Oh yeah, I'll do that right now." Never heard from her again. They consistently advertise the same job over and over again. Called them 2 weeks ago to ask what's going on. Do these jobs actually exist? Told me competition among their candidates is fierce. If they have such stellar candidates, why can't they fill these "EA to CEO, 50-55K positions." You know why, they don't have them. Word on the street and at other agencies is everybody who signs up there, says the same thing.

I felt discriminated

When I went in for an interview at the Hadden Group I was only sent on one interview. I am an experienced Office Manager with more than 10 years of experience. I am a little overweight and although I am sure they would not admit it, I feel that is why I was not considered for more interviews. I made a call faithfully every week to find out about any openings, after the third week Karen very bluntly told me that she would call me if anything came up. I have not heard from them since. After 4 months I still have not found a job.
