ADVANTIS Global

Got a call from them about a job. Some young kid on the phone. I asked for them to send me a job description, as I ask everyone to do. The guy said «Well, we do prescreening first». I said «You’re the only ones who won’t send a job description and it wastes my time». Then he gave me the job TITLE (generic title that could mean any number of things), and asked how much I’d want to fill the position. I said «I DON’T KNOW SINCE I DON’T KNOW WHAT IS ENTAILED IN THE JOB. SEND ME A JOB DESCRIPTION.» and hung up.
And, to tell the truth, several of these 5 star reviews sound like that were written by Advantis.

I felt like nothing but a number. I was only contacted 3 times a week to make sure I TURNED IN MY PAY SHEET SO THEY GOT PAIDED! No person connection and they didn’t even know my contract end date. No help, nothing! Got my own full time job after on my own. Not even an acknowledgment of my 2 years making them over 50k. I wasn’t even invited to the holiday happy hour! It made me feel worthless! In SF u have options for an agency and I highly recommend looking somewhere else! Very very dissatisfied.

I can finally be honest about this company! Their lack of professionalism with handling potential employees from different countries is atrocious!!! Be careful! The don’t hold themselves accountable for anything.

Professional, Effective and Friendly Firm
Advantis Global worked with me to place me in my current position and the experience was truly wonderful:
1. They matched me with positions that were well aligned with my skills and experience
2. They closely managed the relationship from end to end, in fact they continue to do so.
3. Both the «Recruiter» and the «Account Manager» partnered seamlessly, and I always felt I had Advantis Global support at my disposal.
4. Post-​hire administrative support also went the extra mile to insure I was settled and happy.
I would certainly recommend this firm, especially to colleagues and friends. And I have already!

Exceedingly unprofessional. Unfortunately, I worked with this company for couple of years and i had the worst experience ever. First of all no one is helpful in this company. I was on their payroll and they literally screwed my career and my H1b Visa which is so important for international students. So if any one is planning to move from OPT to H1 through this company, i sincerely suggest them to not pick this company to file their H1B. They have no knowledge about Visa or either any USCIS policies. They are just here in the market to make money. Not to help consultants to get their job or do their job. All they care is just Money. Money and Money. After working with this company for 2 years, my contract ended at a client location and i had to switch jobs. They are the worst in finding contracts around. Unless you find a job on your own they can never be helpful. Even after i found a job at another client location. Because of miscommunication they revoked my H1b Visa by mistake. Which is ridiculous as I had a nice job. Even after that mistake the company did, still they were not ready to help filing my H1b Visa again. They just replied me back with just a Sorry… they just screwed my Visa and my career. They did not even look back to think what they did. Scott Bruman tried to help me, but because of his mis communication i was jobless for almost 9 months. I had to leave United States right away. I was jobless, without any Visa. I was in so much stress and disappointment for almost 9 months, every body knows how hard it is to get a Visa from India. It is utterly impossible. I am very disappointed with this company and would never suggest any one to work with Advantis.

I have been contacted a few times by Advantis for potential contracts. As a consultant I get these calls often. I have also met with Advantis at their office in the past and have nothing but respect for the organization. While it did not yield a position for me (yet), they have been prompt and professional in all dealings. Recommended.

Exceedingly unprofessional. I was contacted on Thursday, October the 17^th 2013 by one of their recruiters, Ms. Hensley, who had found my resume online. She seemed enthusiastic about my background and promised a call back by the end of that business day in order to let me know whether my application would be considered further. I never received that promised call. I emailed her the next day. I sent her my most recent resume as she had requested. Ms. Hensley never replied to my email I sent her. My email was courteous and to the point. I was wishing to find out where I stood regarding this position, as I was excited about this opportunity. I then tried to reach her by phone on Friday, and left her a message, but she never returned my call. Later on that day I spoke to one of her colleagues, who said Ms. Hensley is not available. At this point I decided to give assertive feedback about my experience so far. The lady on the other end seemed unable to suppress her giggles at one point during our conversation and appeared a bit lost for words. I then asked to speak to the manager of the office but she would not let me. She promised a call back. Well guess what.
The conduct of Ms. Hensley as a representative of Advantis Global was unprofessional and immature, and i would stay away from this office. I wonder whether they realize how ridiculous an impression they gave about the company and them as workers. Sad people.

At my previous company, I was tasked with helping to build out a team of senior .net developers. I wasn’t getting what I needed from our current vendors and was looking to expand the talent pool. I was introduced to Advantis and it happened that they were looking to expand their presence in the Midwest so I figured it was worth a try.
Advantis ended up helping us find two Senior .Net Developers that are still some of our top talent to this day (we actually ended up converting them to full-​time!) Company culture was of high value at the company and Lianne did an extremely great job understanding the environment and our needs, never wasting my time. Her approach was to send a short list of the best, instead of many mediocre candidates, hoping that one would «stick.» She is a great listener and remained committed to bringing us homerun candidates. I appreciated her transparency and dedication to helping us find the right candidates as quickly as possible.
Even though I am at a new company, I hope to continue to working with her and Advantis. Thanks again and I look forward to working with you in the future!

On my last job hunt, I decided to explore consulting but was unfamiliar with the technology contracting space. I was introduced to Advantis by a friend and met with an Account Manager over lunch that was awesome!
She took the time to explain the various roles and opportunities the company specialized in and shed light with current trending technologies her clients looked for. She was very thorough and patient with all the questions I had, and even went the extra mile to set me up with her various contacts/​clients to ensure that I had a clear understanding of the tech contracting world before I made my final decision.
In the end, it was obviously clear that her priority was to ensure I ended up somewhere that I was comfortable and I truly appreciated that. I ended up taking a full-​time in the end but was impressed with the level of professionalism and compassion the account person displayed. Though I can’t speak for everyone at the company, I had an amazing experience with her and would work with Advantis in a heartbeat for future needs.

I’ve been contracting for the last several years, so I’m pretty familiar with IT staffing firms. Advantis Global Services has got to be the worst I’ve encountered yet. I worked with a girl who was so pushy and loud, she clearly didn’t care what I wanted. Shouldn’t the focus be what I want, since it’s me who is taking the job? She would call me over and over again on my cell phone, at home, and even at work. She pressured me into interviews and yelled at me when I didn’t want to do what she said. She ended up telling me I’d gotten a job with a company in the East Bay, then emailed me only a few days later saying I actually didn’t get the job.
I could go on about the details, but I won’t burden you. All in all, the lack of professionalism at this establishment was shocking. I would never work with a company with these values or way of handling business.
