My agent claimed he didn’t know the client was going to cancel the contract right until he told me. When I threatened to contact the client directly my agent told me the contract had been cancelled. Throughout this time they would not issue my contract until all compliance checks were completed.Ī few days before I was due to start they still hadn’t issued my contract. They waited two weeks before starting the check which they then told me could take two weeks which would have meant it would not have been complete before my start date. They also wanted me to consent to a media check (which I did). The person doing the onboarding was slow in responding, lost some of the things I sent and then took ages to check stuff. They wanted me to travel to one of their offices to verify my passport (a copy wasn’t enough) although they finally dropped that condition. They wanted details of all my contracts for the last five years and checked every single reference. They wanted a copy of my degree (which I sent) but that wasn’t enough, they contacted the University for confirmation. I checked with the agent before accepting that the project was definitely going ahead (it was a big well known client) and after being reassured I accepted the contract. I’d already had another offer but decided this was a better contract.
I was advised the onboarding would take a few weeks. There would be a month before I started and that suited me.
If anyone else has had problems and/or solutions, please let me know!I recently accepted a contract through TEKSystems. Has anyone else had a bad experience with TEKSystems/Allegis? I've found them incredibly slow and inefficient at onboarding, and completely disinterested in the cost this inflicts on the contractor waiting to start.
