TechniSource Frauds and Misrepresntation

Well I got scammed - the bait and switch. A company called Technisource in CA . They (Rajamani, Suresh) told me the bank (Onewest Bank Pasadena CA) wanted to hire me 90k full time permanent with benefits which I accepted and took me off the market. I was taking a $20k/year cut. Then, they tried to slick ### the deal to a 1 month contract at the $43/hr (90k) when they stated a contract was $65/hr. Bunch of ###. The guy’s name - Rajamani, Suresh. I should have known from the get-go not to trust anything out of his mouth. Fortunate for me, I’m trained in LAW. I’ve contracted for almost 28 years! DO NOT DO BUSINESS with them. They are scammers, cons and liars out to make themselves a buck at your expense - not to mention import and export jobs to India at the cost of America jobs.

Thanks for the Warnings! I'd stay far way from such ###.

There are plenty of proper american consultants. Not easy to get hired, but at least it is a decent job and decent experience.

Thank you "YouDidItToYourself". I was thinking of responding to a job position with this company, but you have made it clear as to the type of people they prefer and the company attitude. I will find something else with someone else; even if it is shovelling horse crap.

TechniSource How many times they screwed me

Number of times i have been dissed/###ed by technisoure:
1 Offered a job and was assured that i had it for 17 dollars an hour.
Was never given the job; Granted they did away with the job.

2 Offered 16 dollars, asked to take 15 and given 14 = ###ED

3 Took our Vacation Away = ###ed

4 Took our holidays away = ###ed

5 Will not even give us the opportunity to take over a pos. that is open, to
further our career, instead they hire outside. = ###ed

Conclusion: Bum ### Job, that i am stuck with, but moderately happy to have.
Like i have said before I like the job, love the people, but it would be nice
to know that maybe, there is a chance in hell that i would have an opportunity
to move up. Oh i almost forgot one.

6 Basically, not even acknowledging that i have a degree, and considering someone,
that doesn't even have a cert to his name, to be next in ###ing line to get it.

I was offered a job by Technisource that was 3 months in duration, when the group they hired showed up we were told that it was 10 days and the company that we were working at had no idea where the "3 Months" came from. I'd contacted the unemployment office that I was working for the next 3 months and it took a while to get that straighten out after the 10 days were up.

I have experienced many of the same things with Technisource. They seem to lie a lot. Offered me a job at 49K, which turned into 35K and then they popped that there would be no benefits and no holidays. Beware of Technisource!

TechniSource Discrimination against disabled people

Glen Allen office "Senior Account Executive" called me and after talking to me about the wrong job, he came around and realized I was "extremely well qualified" with stellar references, a very high TS/SCI clearance, and 15 years experience. He negotiated the salary, asked me if I would work for Technisource directly, and also negotiated that salary. He said I would start around June 15th. When he asked me what "disability retirement" meant (from my government job I just retired from), I explained I had a disability, but required no accomodation at all. He kept asking more and more questions, like, "how could I crawl under desks" and kept diging and digging. I explained to him again that I simply had a 5 level fusion in my neck, but he wouldn't stop. After about 10 minutes of grilling me, he told me to send him 3 references, submit my profile on their website, join specific social networking sites, and he would get back with me asap.

Two weeks later, he has not responded to 4 of my emails. I called him, and instead of him answering professionally, he hesitated (apparently saw my number), and wanted to know who I was and what I wanted. He stammered so much when I asked why he refused to answer my emails, etc. He kept stuttering, and I finally ung up and called their corporate office. HR goes through their "help desk, " amd a very rude lady chastised me for not going straight ot his manager instead of going through corporate, and that I should have followed their chain of command! What the heck is this? She gave me a help desk ticket number - which meant nothing to me, so I contacted his manager.

PLEASE, PLEASE stay away from Technisource. This kind of treatment in unethical, against the law, and on top of all of this, there never even was a real job! What I applied for was not even an open job! Are they collecting resumes?

I did let them know that I am very angry and will do whatever I have to do since they literally had me ready to move to a new city and take a job that didn't exist. Avoid these con artists, even if you are desparate for a job! They are misleading and discriminating used car salesmen. I truly feel sorry for all the others who have been duped by Technisource, Inferion, and their other aliases! They are apparently preying on the unemployed by collecting resumes, making false promises, and asking illegal questions in their screening processes.

Who am I? I just retired last week from one of the top Government agencies in Washington DC, where I was a senior level government employee and IT Manager.

I AGREE with Gman-Technisource's behavior was 100% ILLEGAL and should have been reported to the EEOC IMMEDIATELY. I am now going after Randstad USA (who bought Technisource and Sapphire Technologies) for employment breach of contract and contract fraud, in addition to wrongful termination, harassment, invasion of privacy, defamation of character, etc. In conjunction with that situation, I am including Bank of America for sex discrimination, harassment, wrongful termination (on the basis of a disability, gender, religion, retaliation) and probably more. Report these types of violations to the Dept. of Labor in your state, your state's Atty. General's office and the EEOC. In terms of some companies out there, if they are also Federal contractors (like Bank of America), you can report these types o complaints to the OFCCP, as well.

As for the latest post, by BlackLabsRule, although it may be true that discrimination is illegal and it is against the law, as is a lot of things in this country that people still do, it is the ability to prove it in court that people fail to comprehend. And being able to prove discrimination in a "pre-employment" situation is very hard to do.
For example, is G-man able to prove, without a shadow of a doubt, that he was not offered the position due to a discriminating reason? Does he have something either recorded or in writing (i.e., the interview itself, a post-interview phone conversation with Glen Allen, a voicemail message, a letter or email message)? Does he know who all applied and interviewed for the position? Does he know who was offered the position and why? Just because he recently retired "from one of the top Government agencies in Washington DC, where he was a senior level government employee and IT Manager", was there not someone else who interviewed that had just as impressive, if not a more impressive, resume and portfolio than him?
Another example, assuming he can provide enough supposed evidence to get the case into court, of the several approaches the defense can take is did the position require a person to have the ability to perform certain physical duties (i.e., crawling under desks, etc.)? When G-man disclosed, of his own accord, that he was on "disability retirement" from the government, did he also provide a doctors release letter stating that he "required no accomodation at all"?
The other thing the law states, that most people do not take the time to think about when they want to take legal action against another person or an entity, is that you must be able to prove your case in a court of law and back up your claims with solid evidence. Otherwise, people would run around making accusations against whoever they wanted for whatever reason they want. Also, according to the law, it is a fact that it is the responsibility of the prosecution (a.k.a., the plaintiff) to prove guilt; it is not the responsibility of the defense (a.k.a., the defendant) to prove innocence. And you have to have enough evidence to even get the case into court to begin with, otherwise a judge will just throw it out in the examination hearing.
And then, if G-man is not able to prove his claim, not only is he out all of the court costs and legal fees up to that point, the company he attempted to file against has the legal right to file a counter-claim for slander and defamation of character. And that could be more legal fees he would be responsible for paying, just because he did not get the position he wanted with the company he wanted it with.
How do we even know this man is the person he claims he is? Or that he has the qualifications he claims to have? Or that he isn't just someone ticked off at the world because it doesn't go the way he wants it and he's just blogging to to start some crap? If he had a legitimate case I'm sure he would have spent more time filing legal action against the company instead of blogging about it online. And if he did take that route, how's about an update to his original post notifying us of his progress, if any?
The fact is we live in a world where every single person discriminates against another at some some point and time for any number of reasons, and we all get discriminated against at some point and time for any number of reasons. It doesn't make it right, but it is a fact. We choose who we date based on certain criteria, and if you get approached by someone that doesn't meet your criteria you do not date them. We choose who we socialize with based on the type of person we are (i.e., if you're a religious person you have a higher tendency to associate yourself with people of the same belief, and you keep your distance from people of other beliefs). Any person who claims to have never discriminated against a person is a bold-face liar.
But the bottom line, as I stated in my previous post, is most people find themselves in a situation they created themselves. Life is 10% what happens to us, and the other 90% is how we react to what happens (including situations we put ourselves in). If you openly disclose information about yourself then you have no one to blame but yourself when that is the reason you are not offered a position somewhere. And if you find yourself in a situation where you are being asked a question that may be illegal then refuse to answer it, or at least ask what the question has to do with the position you're applying for. But it is your responsibility to know what is and is not legal, as well as what to and not to disclose about yourself.
So although I do not personally agree with discrimination, at the same time I do not feel sorry for people who put themselves in certain positions. If you do it to yourself then you deserve what you get.

The law says they can't discriminate - so having disability on your resume might not be a great choice, but this guy's behavior was still illegal. G-man should have filed a complaint with the attorney general. Even if it didn't result in a job offer, Technisource would be on notice that they can't engage in illegal behavior without consequences.

First of all please allow me to say that I do not agree with companies that discriminate against employees, nor do I agree with companies that lie, deceive, and screw people over. But I am currently an employee of Technisource, in their Frisco, TX office, contracted to work on a project for a client of Technisource, that is in fact a contract-to-hire position, and I must say that I have had no bad dealings with them. As a matter of fact, everything I was told and promised has been provided to me, and then some.
However, as for the initial post by G-man, I honestly believe you screwed yourself out of the position. What I mean by that is that you disclosed the fact that you were on "disability retirement" either in your resume, in your conversation with Mr. Allen, or both. Whichever the situation, you should have just left the "disability" part out and kept it at a simple "retirement", especially since according to your own words you "require no accomodation at all."
While it would have been outright illegal for any employer to ask if you upfront if you have any disabilities, you created a loophole for them by disclosing it upfront, allowing them the ability to begin asking specific questions to ensure you could handle the physical requirements of the position. And I'm not saying it is right, but that is how the world operates. Although discrimination is illegal in the workplace, and I do not condone it in any form, it does happen quite a bit in the pre-screening/pre-hiring process, and an individuals ability to prove it is very hard to do.
Some things people should keep in mind, and most professionals should already know, is to not put any information on your resume or disclose any information in any type of interview that could be used against you as discrimination. For example, on a resume do not put your age, race, disabilities you may have, etc. Your resume should only have the basic necessary information about yourself, such as your name, address, contact phone number, and contact email. And as far as your previous employers, you should only describe what you did as an employee of the company, not why you left the company. And when you are contacted by a potential employer and you conduct an interview, either over the phone, in person, or both, you should never disclose any negative information about yourself that could potentially affect your ability to get the position, unless you are asked a specific question in a direct manner, such as if you have a criminal background, etc.
If you are asked any questions that could be considered illegal your reply should be a question, such as, "What does that question have to do with my ability to perform the job?" Once the interview has concluded you should immediately seek out the interviewers supervisor and proceed from there, because most companies do have a proper chain of command, plus following the chain of command will aid you in any lawsuits you may pursue. And then you should contact the proper authorities and file a discrimination suit against the company.
As for the response by Technisuck, if you're being screwed over that bad by Technisource then you should quit and seek new employment elsewhere. And before you respond to that, I am someone who walked that very walk 6 months ago and had to go over 5 months before getting a new job. But in my personal opinion, people who do nothing about specific situations but complain have no right to complain at all, especially when you chose to accept the position after, despite, being lied to and deceived upfront.
So here are my responses to your complaints:
(1) They may have offered you a contract position, but the contract, especially when working through a staffing agency, is up to the client, not the agency. So more than likely the client decided not to go forward with the position, which is not in the control of Technisource.
(2) The pay rate is also set by the client, and as anyone who has worked with staffing agencies knows, staffing agencies make their money by taking a cut of what the client actually pays for the position. For example, the client may pay Technisource $16/person for the positions but Technisource takes $2 - $3 off the top, which is perfectly legal. And if the client initially said they were willing to pay one rate but they later changed it then Technisource, or any other staffing agency, would change what they are paying for the position to accomodate it.
(3) As a contracted employee, versus as an actual permenant emloyee of Technisource directly, you are not entitled to vacation days, or at least paid vacation days.
(4) The same applies to holidays, as a contracted employee you are not entitled to holidays, or paid holidays at the least. And even if you had a permenant position with any company, if you're pursuing a career in the Technology industry you should have been aware upfront that you may be required to work hours outside of normal business hours, including holidays. The only thing you are legally entitled to, as an hourly paid employee, is overtime, which is any hours worked over 40 hours per week. But keep in mind, for future reference, if you accept a salaried position then you are not entitled to paid overtime and a company can work you as many hours as necessary to complete whatever is required.
(5) If you are already contracted to a specific position and you are still within the contract a company does not have to offer you another position, regardless of what goals you may have for your personal career. You accepted the contract and you are required to fulfill the contract at the company's discretion. And your ability to obtain another contracted position usually depends on how well you performed the duties of the position you were previously contracted for, as well as your fulfillment of the previous contract. All staffing agencies work on this principle.
(6) As far as your ability to move up, contracts are usually just that, but most are actually a contract-to-hire position. However, the decision to hire you permenantly resides upon the shoulders of the client. For example, I am contracted on my current project for 6-8 weeks through Technisource with a possible extension upon the completion of the contract. That possible extension is based on 2 factors: (1) Whether the client wishes to extend the contract with Technisource, and/or (2) whether the client wishes to offer me a permenant position with their company directly. Otherwise, I still have to do the best I can in this position so that if the contract is terminated and I'm not offered a permenant position with the client I can still be considered for other contracts Technisource may have to offer me. And you are not stuck with the job you have, you have the ability to choose to continue to work as a contractor for Technisource or you can quit and go elsewhere. So if it is a "Bum [censor] Job" then quit, otherwise quit complaining about the choice you made.
(7) And finally, I am currently in the process of obtaining my Associates Degree in Science Technology, as a matter-of-fact I am nearing graduation this upcoming September. But the fact that you have a degree does not entitle you to special privileges, it only makes you more marketable and qualified for positions within your chosen career field. And although I'm not sure what type of degree you have, most people with an Associates Degree are usually not properly informed that it is a degree that will help you obtain an enrty-level position in your chosen field. It will help get you in the door, but once in the door you start at the same point everyone else in the same position starts at, and you work your way up the ladder just like everyone else does. And although it may suck that another person who does not have any degrees and/or certifications is next in line to move up, that decision is more likely based on that person having done an outstanding job and fulfilling the requirements of the position. So if you're concerned with moving up the ladder in your career the first thing you may want to do is quit worrying about everyone else around you, and whether or not if they have any degrees/certifications, and focus more on yourself and doing the best job you can do for whoever you're working for, even if it is only a contract position.
So in my conclusion I have previously faced unlawful discrimination from a potential employer, but I did not put myself in a position to be discriminated against. To be open about it, I was in an in-person interview going over the position and my qualifications for the position, then out of the blue I was asked what my religion was, which is outright illegal. I responded by saying I was not comfortable answering that question and I did not see what my personal beliefs had to do with my ability to perform the requirements of the position. I then concluded the interview and proceeded to go through the appropriate authorities to handle the issue, not blog online about it.
I have also worked in positions where there was not much opportunity for advancement, as well as have seen other co-workers, who may not have been as qualified as I was, get promoted above me. But instead of focusing on them I focused on myself and my own career. And at the end of it all, I made the choice to work for the company. Just as when I felt I was being lied to and screwed over by a previous employer I quit working for them.
So instead of finding others to blame for my personal predicaments I took the necessary action to make sure it didn't happen again.
