Unprofessional Recruiter
I was recently contacted by a recruiter by the name of Elissa Profant in regards to a few jobs that I applied for via their staffing agency. This recruiter emailed me stating that she had read my resume and wanted to talk with me to get a little more detail on my career aspirations and experiences.
She clearly did not read my resume or even looked at my profile like she stated in her email or at the beginning of our call. She didn't even know any of my basic information like my major in school aside from my name. When I listed my experiences to her, my location, and salary expectations, she was very unprofessional and rude when ending the call.
No thank you for your time or anything. Especially during a time like this when the job market is already difficult enough to get into, I would appreciate it if recruiters would at least look at my resume before proceeding on contacting me.
- Unprofessional
- Incompetency

Waste of time!
User's recommendation: Avoid using them
Stay away from this company!
I was contacted on Saturday for a remote Admin job. I trained Sunday, Monday, Tuesday.
I then receive a check from them, from a bankruptcy trustee for $3200. I am to immediately deposit check into my bank account. I am receiving unemployment benefits due to lay off, so I asked my manager, Lindsey Herrup, that I would need to contact unemployment as this was income and I had to report it. I had not filled out any legal documents, IE:I-9, W4, etc.
so I couldn't legally be hired yet as she kept stating. I sign in on Weds only to be hassled immediately about depositing the check. She told me the check was for software and equipment purchase. I didn't need the software until later on, but not depositing it will hold up my training,?
A check with no stub and a copied piece of paper stating to immediately deposit. I was hesitant to deposit and asked why they can't purchase and Fedex what was needed for position, or a PCARD, or a supplier that has account with KForce. She contacted "accounting dept". They asked me to use personal funds then deposit check to cover those costs later.
I wondered what would happen if the check did not clear, I stated I did not want to use my personal funds and the reason I was hesitant, pushing to deposit ASAP, no check stub and from a bankruptcy attorney. Lindsey and the recruiter, Carly Runquist, immediately told me I was insulting their company, promptly BLOCKED me from Hangouts, which is the only way to talk to these people. No answer as to what to do with this check now, and I offered to terminate the relationship as well. Very RUDE&UNPROFESSIONAL.
This company put me in a very awkward situation, yet they are insulted? I am still SMH over this.

What a good bait!
As long as you are still a good potential candidate, they will take care of you and your call will be answered. However, once you are working for them, It is a JOKE that you will hear anything from them.
My assignment was going to end in a month and I was trying to get updates about my transition. I left them a few messages and no one called me back. I continue to contact Kforce after my contract period was over while I was still working at the same place for another 2 months. There was not a single response.
I worked in the accounting department. I knew how much they were charging my employer. Guess what? Oh dear, it is not cheap!
Your weekly paycheck is only a portion of what your employer has to pay. Good job on ripping off people paychecks for doing nothing! I wished that Kforce would have done something better for the price they are charging. I finally came up to my supervisor.
He was totally surprised about Kforce and offer me the position. I would recommend that you look for some place else.
LIARS and DO NOT care about their clients
I worked for Kforce before and applied with them again to go back to same company. I did my drug test and background and received a start date.
Kforce told me I wasn't rehirable. Months later they callee me back saying a training class coming up for the same company and said I was rehirable. I passed my background and drug test for the 2nd time. They gave me a start date and date for the orientation.
I went to the orientation and not even an hour after I left they called saying the company wants brand new people instead of rehirable people. Mind u on this second time I felt signs bcuz it was like they was fishing for something like saying something on my background, but my background was still process. They had me go thru this interviewing process twice and could not move forward. Waisted my time and gas.
This is NOT how u suppose to treat your clients. I have no choice but to report this to Kforce corporate office.
DO NOT WORK FOR KFORCE. LIARS and they do not care about their clients.

I agree with what was posted above- it does not sound to me like you were dealing with KForce, but rather a scammer. Sending you a check and demanding you deposit it is a huge red flag.
Only being able to contact them over hangouts (no phone number?) is a huge red flag. You started training and they started demanding stuff from you before you even submitted your onboarding and tax paperwork? Huge red flag.
KForce is indeed a legit company. It is a contract agency so there are certainly better employment situations out there but they are indeed legit.
KForce is a real and legitimate staffing agency. YOU were not dealing with KForce but rather with scammers using the KForce name.
There were plenty of red flags that you chose to ignore or were just not intelligent to see through. First of all, no legitimate company uses Google Hangouts. Second, no legitimate company sends a stranger a large charge. Indeed, the whole fake check to buy equipment with is a scam that has been reported on literally thousands and thousands of time.
No legitimate company asks you to use your personal money and no legitimate company pressures someone to deposit a check and then become angry when questioned. Scammers do all of the above. I suggest you 1. Call Kforce - actually look up their local branch and CALL them.
You will quickly find out they have no employees by the names you were given and they have no knowledge of the remote admin position They will confirm you were dealing with scam artists who were fraudulently using the KForce name 2. Do a little research on job scams so you won't be so gullible again.
3. If you are indeed out $900, that is your fault and no one else's.
WOW! You are an *** and since you are anonymous, you must be one of them.... Hateful, and I wrote the review to warn of scammers idiot.
You aren't very sophisticated and I guess you will accuse me of being a scammer as well since I am commenting anonymously too, but lady, this website has been around for over 15 years and thousands of people comment here anonymously. Only people who post complaints are required to make accounts.
I have never made an account over the years because I prefer not to be bothered with it and I am sure that is probably why a lot of people don't mess with registering their email. Anyway, that is of no importance except it's erroneous on your part to assume anyone posting anonymously must be a criminal. That doesn't even make any sense, especially since the previous anonymous tried to provide you with red flags. Anonymous could be have politer, I agree, but really, sometimes the truth can hurt.
You said you were trying to warn others, which I think is a great thing to do, i.e. you might help someone, but you should have have specified it was a dishonest person fraudulently using the KForce name. Instead, you have accused Kforce, a valid placement agency, of being criminals.
Maybe you should have clarified that. But again, thanks for the general warning.
KFORCE is a scam company
