A lady named Aastha reached out to me to see if I was interested in a remote position. I was on vacation in WA at the time, visiting my grandbabies, as I had just moved out of state. I wanted to provide feedback as my experience was awful. It started out with her connection. The connection for our phone calls was just awful, no matter what she tried, it still was very hard to hear her and there was an echo. I thought, at first, maybe it was my reception, but it happened with me in different locations so I believe it was something on her end. There was also so much background noise, that it was very hard to hear. She asked me multiple questions that, had she taken a few moments to actually look at the information she had, she wouldn't have needed to ask. Once she found out I was interested in the position, she almost harassed me to get her the information back she was requesting. I let her know that I was with my grandchildren, and I'd forward the information as soon as I was back to my hotel. She called me, at least, four more times during my visit. I felt like she was a car salesman trying to sell me a car and to hurry up before this position passed me by because there were other candidates interested. I finally got back to my hotel and sent her the information she was requesting. It was at that point that she texted me back with exclamation points asking about my last work date, which had been a couple of years back since I had started going to school. Again, had she bothered to actually look at my resume, before reaching out, she would have seen my last date of employment and not wasted my time. I let her know that I had been in school and explained the situation and what I was looking for. She never bothered to reply, and I never heard from her again. If her (lack of) customer service is an indication of your company, I am not interested in any position that you are offering. She was clearly only interested in fulfilling the quota she needed to reach and absolutely doesn't care about the customer.

Collabera was my agent for a contract job. They were the worst company I have ever dealt with. They kept messing up my timesheet, the didn't respond to my questions and requests, and to get tech support I had to ask over and over again, or they never responded. I moved from CA to AZ, and emailed my contact that I had moved on October 6th. I saw that my address was still wrong in my profile and sent another email in November asking that it be corrected. I clearly stated my address change to Arizona was effective Oct 6th. Still they messed up my W-2 which had days I worked in Arizona still showing California. They blamed me for not telling them until November. It didn't matter that I clearly indicated I had moved 10/6. They issued a corrected W-2c but they only corrected the wages - the state taxes withheld were left blank. When I sent emails asking for a correction the person did not even read the email and gave me the same wrong answer. Lastly, 2 months before my contract was complete I asked them to search for another assignment. I never heard anything from them. They are a horrible company to have as an agent.

The agency reached out to ask why I had left poor review -- so I guess that counts for something. I felt very much as if they were just processing my paycheck. I had trouble getting a straight answer on when the contract would start and end.

I worked a project for this company in 2010 and one in 2018. Every few months I will get a call from their redeployment team asking for an updated resume with the promise to promote my resume to recruiters. That sounds good but the problem is... they never do. I see jobs posted on their site that I am more than qualified for and I never receive a call. When I reach out to recruiters to inquire about roles that fit my background, I never hear back from them. I guess they don't like the sound of my voice. I believe this company is discriminatory and only go through the motions of fulfilling some legal/diversity qualification to make it look like they are complying. The Redeployment team is a joke and don't understand that there are people in need of a real job and don't have time to play those games!

Updated Review: During my 2 years with Collabera I witnessed a significant lack of communication with the client that I was working for (Microsoft). Be prepared for no raises, no performance reviews and an ever increasing workload. I received my certificate in the field that I was working in along with my accreditation and Collabera could not offer me any compensation to account for this. Collabera cut my checks and that was about it. I expressed many concerns regarding my feeling uncomfortable and unsafe on my team and yet Collabera could do nothing about it for fear that that would lose the account. If you are looking for a paycheck and nothing else, then this is the perfect contract agency for you. Previous review: My experience has been just ok. I would not recommend to a friend unless you are looking for a very temporary role. There's no opportunities for performance reviews, upward promotions, and you can forget about raises. You won't have PTO or benefits unless you negotiate for it by taking a lower pay rate. Employee development opportunities are provided at the employee's expense.

Got a call today, told me I had a job, no interview, just required a meet and greet. Then asked for a copy of my resume after trying to lure me to my ex GFs work site with the PROMISE of a secure job. A gf who has wrongly and falsely accused me of stalking her at ATT which is a telecommunications international corporation. Stay as far away as possible. I believe these people are dangerous. Who promises someone a job over the phone for 20/hr with no interview and attempts that? STAY AWAY!!!!!!!!! Asked him about it through text and email, heard nothing back, so surprised.

Started getting calls and emails for a job I wasn't interested in; didn't fit my profile at all, was a contract position for very little compensation. I have no idea if the job was real or not but it was pretty obvious that the recruiter didn't take the time to read my resume (Hemant Meshram). I didn't respond, I don't have time and didn't feel like I was obligated to as there was no serious effort involved, nothing to see here, move along. After a few days the calls, voicemails and emails to multiple accounts escalated to several a day for the same stupid job, all day long starting early in the morning. Each day the harassment increased to the point I had to respond to let the recruiter know I would file a complaint with the attorney general if this behavior continued. The harassment stopped after this (has only been a couple days though), but wow. How disrespectful can a business be? There is no way in heck I will ever support this behavior and neither should you.

I have been inundated with emails & phone calls from scammers for the past 2 weeks claiming to be recruiters. saying they found my info online (monster or career builder) even though i do NOT have any public profiles on those sites!! In just one week i received 5 phone calls from recruiters claiming to be from THIS company. Each time i told them i DO NOT want to be contacted & DO NOT contact me again. Then i would receive another call. Their english was broken & extremely difficult to understand. Finally i called one who sent me an email named Mitali Sharma. She didn't answer her phone with a professional greeting like any legit professional recruiter would. She only said "hello". I played along with her asking about the job & she asked if i was in Colorado or California. Then said those are the only locations for the job shes working on however, her email stated the job was in redmond, WA for Microsoft? Hmmmm?? Fishy?!! I asked how/she obtained my contact info & once again she said monster or careerbuilder or i must have applied to their website which I certainly have NOT!! I told her if they do not stop contacting me i WILL report them to the Federal trade commission! She kept saying shes not a scam then said i should talk to her boss, in the background she said tp someone "will you talk to her" then a male voice came on the line. He kept saying they are not a scam. I reiterated to him that I WILL report them to the FTC if they don't stop with the calls/emails & hung up! Im sick of all these scammers!! Whats scary is they have my phone number & i don't know how they got it?!!!

After the phone call I had, in no way would I ever work with this agency as they seem horribly disorganized.

Awesome staffing company that I had a chance to deal with. Professional, and have a great staff that is very responsive most of the time... Of course, just like any other company they have those people that make mistakes more than others, but recent experience was great. Thanks

My experience with this fraud of an agency pretty much mirrors everyone else's except for the obvious astroturfers. I would give negative stars if I could. These people are absolutely worthless. It all started when I got a call for a position at Microsoft. I read the job description and quickly realised that I knew the technology they were looking for backwards and forwards. The recruiter I was dealing with, Gaurav P., even went so far as to tell me that I would likely get an offer over the phone and not even have to go in for an in-person second interview. Needless to say, I was excited. When the time came for the interview, The first question the interviewer asked was whether or not I had a security clearance. I said no, I don't, I was not told that it was a requirement. At that point, he told me that he wouldn't waste my time any further. The whole process lasted about four minutes. Fortunately, I have a friend who works at Microsoft. I looked up the interviewer and found no evidence that the job opening even existed. The whole thing seemed like a cruel prank to build my hopes up and then smash them. Seriously, what kind of an inhuman monster deliberately does this to people?!? Collabera, that's who!

My experience with Collabera has always been extremely positive! They are a great staffing agency and all of recruiters as well as employee relations reps I've interacted have been incredibly responsive and helpful!
