Employment Hotline

I tell you what.. you guys have made me feel good today. I thought that maybe it was just me, but I applied there, I am well qualified for the positions I applied for. no word from them after interview. then out of the cloudy AZ sky, the storm must've blew these ppl my way...again. so I get a call asking me to come in for an interview with the 2hour window, advised the lady that I had been there and done that. she couldn't find my app she went on to state I may have to come in to fill out app again and interview again( interview was 2 wks ago)The nerve of this woman to tell me that due to their incompetence I would need to do it all over again. Narcissistic B- Excuse me but there will be no interview again from me in that tight office. Now I understand that I am in need of a job but if it is starting off like this then NO I don't want to work for or with them. what is wrong with these ppl, how do they not know what each other are doing, who has interviewed who. It is a total waste of time, gas and breath just talking with these ppl. I will never deal with this company. I would work at McDonalds first. more

These guys appear to not know what they are doing. I am signed up for work with them and have been e-mailing them on a frequent basis when they post jobs that I am qualified for. The last time I did this they acted as thought they had no idea when I signed up with them for assignments and told me that I would have to come in for another ""interview"" even though I told them that nothing had changed on my resume except my contact phone number. When I told them that I did not know why I would have to come in for an interview since nothing has changed since I signed up for work with them I received an e-mail stating ""Good luck with your future endeavors"" and that I would not be considered for the postion that I had applied for unless I came back in for an interview. I sincerely doubt that the position that I applied for even exists. Do not waste your time with these people, I seriously doubt that they will ever find you a job. I am seriously in need of work and will not waste the bus fare to deal with these people as I have been signed up with them for work for over two years without being referred to one position. \r \r Tony A. more

I worked several temporary assignments for Employment Hotline in 2010. Things were a little rocky at my first assignment which was distributing stock between the satelite cafes around the U of A. After less than a year, I was employed full time with the U of A Facilities Management. Andrea placed me back then I am currently in need of another job and plan to contact Employment Hotline. I will post my new experience with them and hope it is going to be as positive as the last time I used their service. more

I was searching thru job postings on C.L. and found a post for a ?procurement specialist?. They did a very good job at writing it. They made it sound like ?we are desperate for just about anyone, we are going to pay you large sums of money, ect.?? So, I applied and got a call from someone pretty quickly and they spoke really fast. She said ?I have an opening for an interview on Monday between 8-10 am?, I said I couldn?t make it so she said ?ok, Wednesday between 2-4 pm?. I thought this is really odd, so I just said ?Monday between 8-10 am will work?, just to get rid of her. She hung up. I did not go to the interview, being that I knew it was going to be a complete waste of time. I mean who sets up an interview within a 2 hour window? I recommend using another more reputable recruitment company. They are somewhat deceptive; I did not appreciate the sleazy ad for a job that doesn?t exist. more

The worst experience I have ever been through. I would not normally go through an acency but per the lack of jobs recently I decided it wouldn't hurt so sent in my resume with several jobs they had listed. I went in and filled out an application and sat with a rep who couldn't even keep my name right. She stated I was over qualified for what they had ( I applied for general labor and janitorial ) ?? Then recieved a call for an entirely different job. Many months have gone by and I have applied for several more jobs since and no response even when I called and left messages. If they have worked for you then great, but from my experience you can do better somewhere else. more

Employment Hotline is truly a scam. Even if they don't charge you, it is still a scam. The Employment Hotline advertises jobs with the Arizona Department of Economic Security. They don't state that they are an employment agency in the job listing. The Hotline offers a $40K admministrative job and they will not let you apply like a regular company. They will not take phone calls, faxes, emails, mail, or electronic resume submissions. They make you physically come in to their tiny hole in the wall office so they can give you their pitch. No legitimate corporation with a $40K job would even consider using a place like this. EMPLOYMENT HOTLINE PLEASE QUIT PREYING UPON DESPERATE PEOPLE LOOKING FOR WORK IN THESE HARD TIMES. more

I recently have been looking for a job. The problem is is that you should not apply for jobs you are not qualified for. I found that I applied for a job that I had no experience in. Not only do you waste your time but that of the interviewer as well. It was explained to me that although I had experience in one job I did not have experience in another job. I was told my resume would be sent to the company seeking to fill that position. If the employer is interested, Employment Hotline will call you back. If they haven't call it it's because the company looking to fill the position was not interested in you. This is no fault of Employment Hotline. All temp agencies work the same way. Also, for some clerical jobs, you need your skills assessed and will be tested; if you don't show up for the assessment skills testing, your resume stops there. You must also pass a background check....if you don't pass that your resume stops there as well. Make sure you cross your t's and dot your i's before criticizing this company. I waited several months before I landed a temp to perm job and I'm glad I had PATIENCE TO WAIT. If you don't have patience, then you need to look elsewhere for a job. Pros: Must Be There at the Right time Cons: Not everyone gets a job more

I applied with Employment hotline and got a call back, one month later. When they called me back it was not about the type of work I submitted for(customer service), it was for moving books. I asked to think it over and Lydia said OK. I called back, to take the job, later that day and the next day twice leaving messages, no response at all. She calls me two days later to let me know the position had been filled. If that is the kind of treatment people get don't expect Employment hotline to find you a job either and if they do offer, not matter how bad the job is, take it. Pros: They call when you submit app Cons: never call you any other time more

i worked for employment hotline for few months and they told me they would find a new position for me. i tried and tried contacting andrea and betty, but they were always ""busy"" and never called back or emailed me back. dont waste your time, they will critizie your resume and tell you your not qualified for anything. they called every person that sent in a resume to come in for an interview, just to shut them down. why would they call EVERY person that sent in a resume?? they got hundreds of people registered and more then half they did not find any job for, or contact back. they are rude and unprofessional. again....DONT WASTE YOUR TIME. THEY ARE PRETTY MUCH A SCAM Cons: no call backs, no communication, no real jobs more

Andrea is rude and not professional at ALL. There are jobs out there but no one has called me to come in for a job. I am VERY qualified. Andrea is unorganized and walks in circles. I don't know how much she is getting paid, but she is getting paid too much. Cons: waste of my time more

I have been registed with them for 2 months, and I have called every week to speak with my Account Coordinator Andrea Davis, she has yet to return any calls, nor have I heard anything about a job. Per our conversation, she expressed that she was sure she could get me a job within a week or two at most. Cons: Worthless more

Have applied numerous times and i am very qualified. Cons: too many to name more

Many listings on Tucson Help wanted I was well qualified for but to get someone on the phone or email back is a joke. If You don't have anything better to do Hop on their train for a ride to nowhere Whoot Whoo!!!! Pros: Get alot of your time wasted Cons: See many ads but You can't have the jobs more

I found this through tucsonhelpwanted and had my boyfriend apply online. They called him for an interview a few days later, i took him, and they hired him the same day!! Now he's working and making pretty reasonable money. I dont know why they're are so many bad reviews, the people there are so nice and helpful. They help you get a job thats right for you! Pros: Fast Hiring. Friendly Staff Cons: Starting part time, only a few days a week if lucky more

Please do not waste your time with these people, I was invited for an inter view, only to be told that my resume did not show that i had any experience as a CSR! Why would it ? my resume clearly shows im a fully trained engineer with many years of contract work with some of the biggest names in the world. more

I also had a very positive experience at Employment Hotline. They helped me with my resume so that it placed more emphasis on the job that I wanted. They were very friendly and encouraging. At first I was a little concerned because they wanted me to take a temporary position, but it worked out really well in the end. I got to try out the company before taking a permanent position with them. I felt like they were honest and upfront with what they could do for me. It is a tough job market in Tucson and I don't think I would have got such a good job without their help. AND THERE WAS NO FEE! I really recommend them. Ask for Betty. Pros: Fast, friendly service. Lots of free advice from people who really know Tucson Cons: Small staff with a lot of applicants more

I disagree with the other two reviewers. When I was called it was explained to me that it was a 'free' service, and that the interview times were based on a 'walk in bases'. Yes, I arrived there before other candidates, and yes they were seen before me....however, I noticed that they completed the application quicker than I did, hence being called in before me!!!! I was skeptical that they were advertising false job postings, but I was proven wrong. The interviewer was pleasant and welcoming. We went over what I wanted and discussed if my skills were relevant for the jobs they had. I enquired about the jobs I saw online, although she could not delve any further info, I was told that they would send my resume out once I had made a few changes. I did this thinking anything was worth a try! I sent it in, and that was that! I received a call two weeks later for an interview for one of the positions I had originally applied for. I am delighted to say that I got the job! I am recommending them to all my friends. more

I have applied to ads on Tucson Help Wanted com posted by Employment Hotline. If you do get called, you are asked to come in and fill out an application and have a very brief cursory interview with an account rep. This is where the BLACK HOLE comes in. After responding to many, many ads for which I had met or exceeded the criteria, I have yet to gain even an interview with an employer. In fact, I had been ""forgotten"" about and had to re-apply with Employment Hotline two months after applying with them initially. Don't waste you valuable time with these people. I highly suggest more responsive placement agencies. more

This business is very unprofessional, unpunctual, and rude. I ended up asking for my paperwork back and walking out of the place. They give you an appointment then call every person that comes in after you, before you. Then when asked why this it happening, the secretary's response is "" first of all there are no appointments."" Seems weird to me since I have an email infront of me saying to be there on April 28th at 9:00am. Do they not know the defintion of appointment. I would have had to wait another 45 minutes for them to even try to fix the problem. Who needs this. You are expected to be responsibe, pleasent and punctual but they can get away with not. That's bad business in my book. I would not reccomend this place to people I hate! more
