Until the day of the interview, they were super attentive, confirming attendance, everything was great! I had an interview with their client, but I never got any feedback, terrible company, I don't plan on ever doing anything there again. Disappointed.

It was a very straightforward 3-step interview process. I met with local leaders and the regional director. They gave feedback very quickly and communicated thoroughly throughout. The local leaders dug into my skill set and how they could apply to the job. The Regional Director covered pay and other logistics for the role.

Had several phone calls before meeting. I interviewed for different RHI offices as they had openings at multiple locations, so I had to travel to each. Then, I was kept waiting in conference rooms at both places. They shuffled people in and out. They didn't give clear info about interviewer positions or their roles in the hiring process. They have various openings and seemed unsure which role would be offered. They seemed very indecisive about what openings were available.
