I worked for HiProFile LLC last year. I left near the beginning of the Summer because I realized that management Hal Bent, Paul Fowler, and John Shaffer were dishonest. They advertise that they have an office in Connecticut, but the office closed since I think all the employees there quit since management was dishonest.
The main dishonesty was about member companies. I was working in the back with Kim Donaldson and we'd call potential clients that posted resumes on job boards and tell them that we had member companies that were interested in speaking with them. I didn't know we didn't have member companies. When I found out I quit.
Everything I have read on this site is true.
HiProFile when I left did not have member companies. They hired a guy named Jack Canty to try to recruit companies to become member companies and Paul Fowler had me work to try to contact member companies to try to get them to join the company.
The main players in the member company scheme was Joanna O'Leary, Hal Bent, Paul Fowler, Doug Fowler (Pauls son), John Shaffer, Jack Canty, anyone working in sales including the placement execs like Bill Weydemeyer, Donna Mase, or Jim Baldinger, and the initial callers like Kim Donaldson that would tell potential clients that we had member companies when we didn't. Joanna became a key player. She became kind of like my supervisor. I would have to make calls for her. The main dishonesty of the company dealt with member
companies and management is dishonest with employees.
Many people work and quit from the place. Not everyone is dishonest there. Good people work there that do not deal with member companies. The main dishonest people are John Shaffer and Paul Fowler and Hal Bent in the Boston office. I am only writing this because since my having worked at the place my job searches have been affected since I have a blank period on my resume because I do not mention I worked for them on my resume.
I am warning anyone that is contacted by HiProFile, LLC to avoid them, do not become their clients, and do not work for them since it will be a black mark on your resume.
