Recruiter-Rater

That is how they have done business since the late 90's. They are low-ball recruiters placing candidates with well-known toxic workplaces.

They seem to manage to call me once every 3 years, where they ask me about my salary and don't seem to understand the term "non-disclosure agreement.

Avoid these people.

I've had nothing BUT POSITIVE experiences with this company. Excellent service, attention to detail, and they're on top of their information. A definate must in terms of finding a recruiter you can trust, who will work in the best interest of you.

I've been place 5 times with these guys. I got placed by this girl Sarah T. whom unfort. does not work there anymore. She was the only one that was on top of her game. Now I won't even bother with these guys.

I called them after seeing a job posting with a nice salary range. They told me their system only allows entries in $25K increments so the range may be much less depending on my experience. I said "I sent you my resume, what do you think of my experience?" She said she gets so many resumes she can't read them (but so why did she want me to come in for an interview?). Basically, the two recruiters i spoke with were reading from a script, talking to me as if this were my first or second job out of college (i'm almost 40) and wouldn't give me any kind of job description or accurate salary range. I soon got the impression I was working with a used car salesman and dropped them before the interview.

Hadn't had to search for a job for the last 6 or so years, so I entered the online job search a bit naively. Remington had called relentlessly for a couple of weeks, but since every person that called sounded like a car salesperson I avoided them, then one day decided to call back out of curiosity.

I was at first a little surprised at how 'rough around the edges' their style was and at times they did appear to come across slightly unprofessional. My first face to face was strange...in a large office that felt like a miniature wall street, with people shouting etc. But I kept an open mind.

In the week that followed they set me up on interviews with some top-notch places and I ended up receiving an excellent offer from a place that is a perfect fit within ONE WEEK. And I appreciate they didn't waste my time sending me on interviews they either knew were not paying enough, or would not match my personality. I am by no means a newbie and have very solid work history, and although my experience with Remington in the beginning was strange, I am very happy with the end result.

I submitted a resume by email and received an email that I need to take a typing test. Unfortunately I deleted the email.

Could you write me the email address of HR so I can send my typing test?

thanks,
Sarah

My take on these guys is the same as most of the responses in this thread. Remington runs a sweatshop with a bunch of youngsters. After talking to one of the salesmen it was obvious he did not know a thing about IT. This is no good when that person is in a sense representing you when talking to a client. Other things I've noticed:
1. they do not provide you with a job description
2. they ALWAYS ask to find out where you've been interviewing

I'm not saying all Remington reps are like this but so far the majority of my interactions with them has been pretty negative. They definitely remind me of car salesmen...

I worked for Remington briefly, it was hands-down the worst job I've ever had. Twice daily brainwashing sessions, where an "elder statesman," which, at this company, means 24, talks to you about how to squeeze information out of candidates so you can send other candidates out to these same jobs. Talk about unethical, they're setting up competition for their own candidates. I lasted less than three weeks, then left for greener pastures. I wouldn't recommend working for, or with, Remington or any of their sister companies (C. Bridges, Atlantis Partners, Boylston Group, etc.).
