Spherion

I usually don’t give one star to the head hunters but for Spherion located at 2001 Gateway Pl San Jose, California, I have to give an one star. On Monday, 10/​05/​2015 guy calls me and tells me that there are three positions currently available from three individual companies. He tells me that I am qualified to apply for each position from different companies because of my background written on my resume.
I asked him how he got my resume and he told me that he got it from
. I was flattered, excited and applied for all three positions. The next thing this guy tells me is that he wants to interview me on Skype before he send my resume to the companies. So I agreed to have an interview with him and arranged the appointment date. On the day of the interview, I waited in front of my computer for him to contact me on Skype.
I waited 1 hour for him to call me but I guess he did not call me. After one hour later, I called to his phone number and the receptionist picked up. She tells me that the guy is busy interviewing other people and she take down my name and phone number for him to call me.
I waited the whole entire day for him to call me back but he never called me nor contacted me on Skype. Before the day was over, I called to him again and the same receptionist picks up the phone and tells me the same thing, «he is unavailable to talk on the phone because he is interviewing someone else.»
The next day in the morning he calls me and leave a message on my voicemail. On the voicemail he say «I’m sorry that I didn’t contacted you because I was having a webinar with my company and it took me all day.» I called him back and the same receptionist tells me that he is interviewing someone else.
I called to him five times on different days and I never got the best result. He is always busy with whatever he is doing and same receptionist tells me he is interviewing someone else. I emailed him and for somehow my gmail comes back with invalid email address. So, I give up and made my decisions that this company is a scam.
The guy I spoke on the phone was fishing for resumes, and use the sweet talk technique to avoid conflicts with candidates. I don’t think what’s gone into his mind but it was alright with me to let me know the truth instead of avoiding or lying to me about career opportunities.
It was alright with me if he could have told me the truth of either positions have been filled, the three companies are no longer offering the positions, I am not qualified to apply for the positions and etc.
I did have this kind of experience from them and I didn’t like what they have done to me. Please note that I do not reveal «the guy’s name» on here because it may not be appropriate to write on here.
