Volt Workforce Solutions

From the beginning of the contract, which was FAR under the rate it should have been paid, I didn't receive paychecks, was given incorrect information regarding the hours I would be working, rarely received timely responses to my concerns and was altogether a terrible experience. DO NOT RECOMMEND. Would give 0 stars if possible.

I began working for Volt in December. As it turns out, two months later my mother passed away, the. COVID-19 hit, and I have medical exacerbations. Bottom line is this, it is highly not understood why a technology company like the one I was assigned to uses a company like Volt for their recruiting. Had I been a direct hire to the company, I probably would not have been stressed out having to deal with non-essential people of this company.

Several emails from a "Ryan" were received but I never actually got a call. I called the number posted in the email and left voice messages but to no avail. Worst company ever. With no luck for a job from a suspicious emailer, I was forced to move out of Austin. Jeremy Starr is a man not a woman, Daisy Ruiz works there. Her review was typed up by the staff. Y. Maring and JoeCoupwood are both forgery reviews. Conner Mason and Amber Fisher are both names from television. Maxwell Vallee might be the only real human. Lastly, Abdo Laa is a made-up name.

I WOULD NOT USE THIS AGENCY TO FIND WORK. PLEASE BE ADVISED! VERY UNPROFESSIONAL! NOT VERY RESPONSIVE! I MOST DEFINITELY DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE TO ANYONE!!!💯👎 When I spoke to "Will" one of there recuiters here over the phone last week he sounded very sketchy and unprofessional like the guy was asking me some VERY odd questions like Where have I applied to? Have you had any callbacks from jobs you've applied to? What do these jobs pay? Hows my Job search going? etc.... In my opinion these are questions that you DO NOT ask people because for 1. It's none of there business and 2. It's VERY unprofessional to dig into someone's else's personal life like that. I've had several conversations like this with this recuiter before in the past so this isn't the first time this has ever happened. I'd advise you stay far away from this agency and "Will" who is currently a recuiter here at this agency. This man is VERY unprofessional. Also this agency isn't very responsive, I've called and left several voicemails in the past on there phone lines and it took them WEEKS!! to return my calls.

Volt scheduled me for an interview with a company they wanted me to do an assignment with. The morning of my interview, my daughter had a fever - and I reluctantly had to cancel the interview so that I could take my daughter to the doctor. (FYI - my daughter rides the bus to school every weekday - a bus that has NO heater. The weather had been very cold with many of her fellow students coming down with the flu). This is not something I wanted to happen, nor did I plan for it to happen. But as a parent it is something that I have to deal with. Sometimes you have to make those hard decisions. I notified my recruiter about two hours before my scheduled interview. I get an email reply from my recruiter saying "this will make it difficult for Volt to move forward with you in future opportunities". What does that even mean? Am I being blacklisted for a situation that was beyond my control? I have a family, and my family comes first. In my opinion, I didn't do anything wrong. I notified my recruiter as soon as I knew I had to cancel. I could have easily said nothing and not shown up for the interview. But, I was honest and forthright and tried to make the best out of a less than ideal situation. In my opinion, this behavior is incredibly unethical on Volt's part - to even say something like this is, to me, bullying. I get the feeling that Volt, like many employment agencies, sees it's workers as cattle, nothing more. And, frankly, I don't HAVE to contact them again. And YOU don't either.
