I was contacted by Mike Govoni. When I spoke with him, he didn't really have anything other than an entry-level $19k job that was on the other side of the country. He then proceeded to quiz me in a very pushy way about if my former employers were hiring. He asked numerous times in a "So, there aren't any openings there?" type of way.

I'm unable to find a lot of information about this company. Website links in various search engines point to a job magazine of sorts, and the address looks to be an empty lot on most mapping programs. Has anyone dealt with this company?

I've typically found ATSI to be good for nothing more that sucking up valuable oxygen that would be put to better use by the rest of civilization.

In the two decades worked as a 'shopper, the only time I get calls from ATSI is when they're breaking in new (and I'm trying to type this with a straight face) 'recruiters' who base their cold calls off of the public resume listings on Monster and CEWeekly.

They never have any actual opportunities and more often than not they're trolling for leads to get their foot in the the door. These clods virtually NEVER read a resume before calling, relying on the keywork searches only. I've had some of these dimbulbs contact me 2-3 times in a day and not able to scrape together a clue that they're cycling through the same call list.

These Mass-based knuckleheads are typically barely a notch above the stereotypical "wicked awesome" Beantown beerhounds you see in a bad TV sitcom.

Run, don't walk away from anything having to do with this inept operation.

Worked for these people for 7 weeks. Was unable to contact them when needed, and agree with others, that they don't know what they're doing, have no experience in the recruiting field. Never received a copy of my W-2 after requesting it, they sent the original to the wrong address. Original finally was forwarded, but barely in time to file taxes. Will never work for them again.

I worked through ATSI and Entegee. It was great. The pay rate was good, adding upto about mid six figures without the overtime. The pay check arrived very promptly every Thursday delivered by FedEx. My job was very demanding and kept me busy. Sometimes I was busy with meetings and conference calls with overseas clients, but they would call me to remind me to out my hours in.

I have seen some comments about them being a scam and warning people to stay away. I would like to know what the scam was. THey have not been able to find me another jovb since that last assignment.

I agree with everyone except the last. And I cannot even believe that unless it was posted by ATSI.
I was looking for ATSI web site and I ended up here. I was looking for someone in ATSI. I am employed by them, get a very small pay check & only person I know in this company is admin assistant who processes the time cards. Other than that I don’t believe anyone working there now. I even don’t know what happened to my recruiter, I am not sure if he’s alive or working somewhere or just hiding.
Whoever running this company don’t do anything other than getting a huge chunk of our pay check. The recruiter lied me every occasion and finally disappeared. I am now looking for someone to get some answers. Recently they have problems issuing the pay check. I always get something like 30% and have keep on calling to fix it. This has been happening for the last 6 paychecks. When I got the job there were promises, but not in writing. Also, original details were not in the contract.
I have not recommended this company to anyone. I would not let anyone to send their resume to this place. They are just suckers and I don’t know how they sleep sucking our money like that. Sorry, I don’t have any good words describe this company. Does anyone know if they have a website?
