Carson-Thomas Personnel

Justin and the company are full of shit, don’t waste your time. Promises the world but sitting here months later listening to crickets.

Back in June, I was searching for new opportunities, and had applied to a listing online that you know is a recruiter’s job description. You know the type… they always start with «A leading so and so» or «A cutting edge blah blah»… anyway, so I apply to a position that matches my qualifications and what I want to make and I got a call back.
Spoke with Frank (Thomas) and he was very pleasant over the phone. We spoke about my resume and he agreed that I was qualified for the position and would like to set up an interview. We set a date and the day before the phone interview, I called Frank to see if they had any prep info because they never sent me anything. So we spoke, he gave me some background info and off I went. I called the interviewer the next day and couldn’t reach her. Called Frank back and they rescheduled. Spoke with the interview the next date, she apologized for the mix up and we talked for a bit and then asked if I would come in for a face to face interview. Absolutely. The job was something that I actually wanted.
So, I go to the interview, (no prep about who I’m meeting with, so I just googled the crap out of the company and learned about everyone there) things go well and off I went. I was told they would have a decision by the end of the week. I called Carson Thomas every week for 3 weeks afterward and never got a straight answer from Frank or Justin, his associate. I was just continuously told that I was still in the running and that they were trying to figure things out. I’m glad I found another job because that is poor form on behalf of the company I interviewed with AND Carson Thomas. I never heard from the company or Carson Thomas again. Believe the hype kids. Carson Thomas deserves the 1 star it has. Frank and Justin are nice, but incompetent. The company I interviewed with has 2.5 stars on Glassdoor. It all makes sense.

I applied to this company and called in weekly Justin always said next week I promise and will call you. I called 2 weeks after not hear anything from Justin and asked what happen with the jobs you promised me and he said «who is this?» Did you come in and apply? and do we have your resume? That just proofs to me they are unorganized and unprofessional. I understand theres alot of people looking for work but really don’t promise something and your not gonna keep it. I highly recommend not applying here. 75% chance your really wasting your time. DO NOT APPLY HERE!!!

This company is the most inefficient I have ever had the «pleasure» of working with. Aside from the fact that I am positive that they only only have 1 shady client whose main goal is to screw innocent people out of money, they too are in fact a waste of great office space. They failed to find me another position after my first one ended which I got a verbal promise they would.
Then I went to their receptionist Rosa who was supposed to ensure a change of address so that my W2 would not be mailed to some strangers house during tax time which tada! now it has! So there is some creep out their with my sociail security number! Thanks you dumb bimbo! She was supposed to change it back in October. Then she calls me early December saying she lost her notebook and to re-​give her the address. She still does not change it. I called them on the 24^th to see if it had been mailed out because I know they have a deadline to deliver W2s.
Meanwhile, When I call today February 7^th. She says they were mailed on the 25^th. I ask about the change of address and she says. She didn’t remember losing a folder, or calling me, and that all she has is a note with my number on it. I’m guessing that note should have said «call her when her W2 is mailed or arrives». Thank you other inefficient male receptionist bimbo! I would not trust them with my private information if I knew then what I know now.
If the only job they have for you is in the building next door. Just pass!

WARNING — THIS COMPANY HAS NO PROFESSIONAL CREDIBILITY. I interviewed with the jerk owner, Frank Thomas for an internal recruiter position. I was very hopeful for the position at first, but things began to unravel. The job listing cited offering medical benefits, which the owner mentioned were not even available, which shows what a liar he is to put that out there to job applicants and have it be false. But worse, Frank Thomas had the gall to ask how I afforded my apartment while I was unemployed and if I was married! He will yammer on and on any chance he can get how he has been in business since 1973, yet he thought he was so entitled to get all up into my business. In this economic climate, it is the employer’s advantage however, however, that will never give anyone the right to humiliate and disrespect me to ask how I conduct my personal business and asking someone’s marital status is NEVER legal to ask during an interview. To me, this interview felt like a power play between the owner and myself, as if he had the right to know how I lived my life. It doesn’t even matter because my professional capability speaks for itself, the rest of my life has no merit on how I perform a job.
Frank Thomas also mentioned that a recruiter position is a sales position and the importance of asking for what you want, business-​wise. That this was his personal philosophy. So, following his lead, I called him the next business day to ask him why someone who interviews people for a living thought it would be acceptable to inquire so deeply about my personal life and ask me illegal interview questions, if he were so professional. So, I asked him to give me an apology. He stammered and feigned ignorance at asking about my marital status, which is utter bullshit. He then conceded that he asked such a question because, «he was concerned for me». Ummm… I’m not a charity case, I came looking for gainful employment. My finances and how I live are never any part of your business. I cannot stress that enough. Shame on you, Frank Thomas, on thinking you could get away with asking such questions!
I filed a claim with the CA Dept of Fair Employment, so if you have had a similar experience with Frank Thomas, call them at 1−800−884−1684 to file your claim.

They gave empty promises about jobs. Frank Thomas brought supposedly submitted me for a job at a Law Firm. When I called to find out about the status of the position he kept telling me he would hear something that day and call me with updates… he never called!
My husband also interviewed with Frank with the hopes of being hired on to Carson Thomas as a recruiter. Frank told my husband he would hear something back within a few hours of his interview. It has been three weeks! My husband has called about five or six times to get the status of the interview and Frank Thomas continually evades his phone calls and ignores him.
EMPTY EMPTY PROMISES!!!
The only reason why I gave one star is because I didn’t want to appear heartless. They are very good at taking up space and wasting oxygen!
