Spark Talent Acquisition

I've worked through this company a few times and found they don't take into consideration what really fits you.  They send you out on any job even if it's not a fit for you which makes for a bad situation for you and the employer.  They make promises they don't keep and I've never truly had an opportunity to work for a company that is a permanent hire, which was mandatory for me when interviewing although they ensured me they all were.  My last placement for this company, I asked them several times to replace me and to find another position for this job because the company was prejudice against women in the manufacturing field they refused to replace me and I ended up walking out, so the company ended up having no one to fill the position and I looked like an unreliable employee.  I tried to go to a boss higher up, but there is none.  No relationship between employer and employee here.

A typical work day entailed arriving at 7:30am followed by an 8:00am company meeting to review new job orders as well as to provide updates regarding the status of current job orders. From there the recruiters multi-tasked between recruitment, sales, and handling new hire paperwork and contract employee concerns. At 3:00pm there was another company meeting to discuss the progress made throughout the day and provide candidate status updates. Upon completion of this meeting it was back to sourcing, recruiting, sales, and handling employee concerns. This kept the recruitment staff in the office until 7:00pm or later as well as on Saturdays and occasionally Sundays.

The job itself was easy and relaxed. My time as a temp went great, it didn’t go downhill until it was time to get hired into the company. For starters the orientations were very unorganized and you didn’t know what steps to take next until they call you, about a day before your orientation date. Then when you get to orientation they advertised that all us new employees would bring home six figures after taxes our first year, however our paychecks were about $750.00 after taxes. That doesn’t add up to six figures a year. Ultimately I foresee this company going under due to its high turnover rate and false advertising the wages.

The ideas and motivations are there, but the execution from leadership is missing. Senior leadership doesn't seem to be able to speak to the CEO's plans for the business and each have very different takeaways with no communication between them. 
There is no environment of trust and when dishonest or unfair practices are brought to attention, you receive more pushback than the team members who are not doing the right thing.
You are not paid for work done after hours or on weekends and communication standards seem to only apply to certain account managers.
Commission structure is not at market percentages and reqs are not truly qualified to fill or moving at a pace that actually earns you money.

Decent opportunity here at this company, but being micromanaged and not appreciated (financially and emotionally) eventually forced me out.  You can only be treated poorly for so long before you develop resentment.  Great group of people working there, but the owner and top management just don't understand people or how to lead and motivate.  Really unfortunate.

I have been with Spark for a while - there are many / better opportunities out there
It’s time to move on. 
Machine builders are now flooded with inexperienced people / some that can not properly read prints and assemble builds as required 
Looking for a more stable environment

The pay is sub-par, it is a temporary job, and the recruiters tell you a bunch of lies when they contact you.  The recruiter told me I would be hired in after 90 days and that I would rarely work overtime, just an occasional half day on Saturday.  My first week I was put in 12 hour days.  I was a lucky one to be hired in after six months, some people worked for between 2 and 3 years before getting hired.

This company is great to work for! They truly care about the employees well-being and I love coming to work every single day! The company is growing every single year and finds ways to put the investment back into the employees!
