They worked very hard to land a position for me, working on my behalf for more than a year. I owe them a lot! - Anonymous employee TEKsystems Employee Review

Pros

When other recruiters stopped calling, TEK kept on putting my name out there. They were courteous, engaged and active in making sure they found me a good fit.

Cons

While I appreciate their efforts tremendously, they did ask me to agree to a pretty lowball hourly figure in order to enhance our chances. After being out of work for so long I agreed. I've since learned that I was the best qualified candidate anyway, so I have to wonder if that's not their typical policy designed to maximize the amount of profit that they gain via the difference ln what associates agree to work for and TEK agrees to charge the employer. Not trying to indicate they're underhanded in any way; only that I found their concern with my hourly wage requirement to be unwarranted, and well below what my experience should typically allow me to make.

Pros

- Decent pay to start. - Account manager is responsive, engaging, and a serious advocate for you and your contract. - Gain access to Udemy Business to build more skills.

Cons

- The benefits suck. - High recruiter turnover with highly variable experience trying to work with them-- some are good, most are not. - Once you are placed, you will be promised regular meetings and then never hear from the recruiter again. - Trying to find a new contract if you are unhappy with your current placement is nearly impossible and I don't believe they are incentivized to help you move at all. - You have to manually request a raise and depending on how you negotiated your contract, you may or may not have the ability to receive one. - There is a cap to how much they will pay you for the contract so even if you work that position 4 years, once you hit that cap you are stuck. I originally submitted my resume with TekSystems when I had finished my degree and never heard back. Many years later, I was approached on LinkedIn by a TekSystems recruiter for a position and he had no idea I was in the system previously. Working with him was good, and I did get the position. Then I never heard from him again and I've had 4 or 5 different recruiters whose names I could not tell you if I tried since then. There's supposed to be monthly calls, they never happen.
