Techounds - Employment agency in Laguna Niguel - 30100 Crown Valley Pkwy, USA

Not a good recruiting company for female engineers. I had an unpleasant phone conversation with one of their recruiters, Scott, who called me "honey" and interrupted me several times. Afterward, I spoke to one of the managing partners about Scott's unprofessional behavior. The partner said he'd follow up with Scott, but I was left with the impression that he didn't get why calling female candidates "honey" might be bad for business. My recommendation is to avoid Techounds and to work with a tech recruiting company that interacts with all candidates in a respectful and professional manner.

TecHOUNDS does an absolutely fantastic job at finding the right candidates for positions that are difficult to fill! Robin Huibregtse, a Managing Partner, placed me at Covenant Care in 2007 in a key position as Vice President of Technology. She is very professional and was able to negotiate a great salary at the time. Here at Covenant Care, we've used TecHOUNDS over the years to find key candidates. They've always been great at listening, understanding job requirements, and finding the best candidates on the market that fit our culture. Their technology and screening processes used to quickly find great talent are second to none! Overall, the TecHOUNDS team of recruiters understands the employment market and are a very professional, trustworthy group. They would be a wonderful partner to any organization and I strongly recommend their services whether you're an employer or a candidate.

I was approached by two different recruiters for the same position, which I was clearly highly qualified for. I responded to each appeal with a phone call and response email. The first phone call was answered by an agent who was clearly very unhappy that I had reached out to her, and it took me several days of phone calls to reach them. The second time I was approached for this position by a different agent I could not get through to them at all, and they never answered any of my emails regarding the status of my application. This company has 0 'customer service' despite being solely to serve customers. Do not use their database or respond to any of their ads.

Over the phone interview and the person conducting the interview was so unprepared, very surprising that companies send positions for them to fill when they can barely do an interview. They actually wrapped the interview up by saying they had a call on the other line. You are looking for professionals through a company who isn’t professional themselves.
