LanceSoft Reviews

They contacted me off Indeed and said I was a perfect match to work as an office assistant with their client UPS. After calling them and confirming my interest, they said I'd get a call from the employer to schedule an interview within the next week. I waited until then and got a call from them instead, stating "I didn't need an interview because the employer took one look at my resume and decided it wasn't necessary. I was hired." So I proceeded to fill out onboarding documents and got all the way to the start date. Never got a call from LanceSoft or UPS themselves confirming a date. I show up to the confirmed location on the previously mentioned start date and, their HR said they never heard of me?? The office assistant position was filled?? And all positions within UPS absolutely require an interview?? I call and discuss the issue with LanceSoft. I get an email a day later, I'm ready to start at UPS! For a night time audit 4am to 9am. What????????? Emailed them and expressed my confusion and disinterest in the random position. Haven't heard from them since.

- LanceSoft misrepresented themselves right from the start, both to me and to the company (I'll call it Acme). LS approached _me_ with the opportunity, they asked if I was interested, and then they proceeded to discuss Acme as if LanceSoft was working on Acme's behalf. They were not. After I started the assignment, I found out that _no one_ at Acme had even heard of LanceSoft before, not even the group in HR who had posted my contract online. (When your supervisor wonders out loud in front of you, saying, "How did you even get interviewed?" you know something's weird.) - If you have given them any indication you're interested - even if you haven't signed any paperwork - LanceSoft's recruiters will call/text you day or night if you don't answer every single email immediately. I was working on other contracts for other companies while I was interviewing with LanceSoft, and the interruptions were constant. - The hourly rate you are promised at first is _not_ your take-home pay: it is your rate PLUS LanceSoft's commission. They got my verbal agreement, wrote up the first batch of paperwork, and then came back to me with the real rate amount (a twenty percent difference exactly). My pay was barely enough to make the contract worthwhile for the three months in question, but not enough for me to consider staying on. I wanted to stay at Acme, my supervisor at Acme wanted to keep me, but I just couldn't afford it.
