Oblix People

It all started off so well - then rapidly went downhill at great speed. Initially, the communication was excellent and I felt that I was being represented professionally. I was offered a role, but the client then decided that they could only offer a part-time position. This was confusing, and was not Oblixs fault. What happened next was. The senior staff member at Oblix advised that he would investigate this. We were both still confused and I requested to speak to the client directly, as I had got to the final interview stage with another client but felt that Oblixs client would be a better match for me. I did so, the situation was clarified, and I immediately advised Oblix that I would accept the contract, as I had then heard that the other position had gone to another candidate. After that, no responses were received to two texts sent four days apart - I felt that this allowed plenty of time for investigations to take place on their side, even if just to say I am sorry, but we have not yet received a response. This would have been professional and respectful behaviour. I followed up with a couple of phone calls over two days, which initially rang but then suddenly went to voicemail. Getting the feeling that the agent was avoiding me, I called him from my partners phone the next day. Immediately, the call was answered. I was repeatedly advised sorry, I cannot hear you at all and I was then hung up on, yet I WAS GREETED BY NAME. A follow-up text mentioning this was also ignored. It is interesting that other reviews also mention communication issues. I realised that I was getting no-where, so breached normal hiring etiquette and mailed the line manager directly. He responded promptly, advising that he had not heard from Oblix IT Partners but would ensure that the hiring managers would get back to me directly. I would not normally bypass an agency in this way, but what would you do in this extreme situation? I can recommend a professional member of staff at Oblix - Alfie OSullivan. He has always communicated clearly and honestly, and having been a recruiter myself I can assure any future employer that he has what it takes to succeed. Otherwise, Oblix would get zero stars if possible. The CEO is very well-spoken, but whether you are an employer or a candidate I suggest that you avoid them like the plague. Companies like Oblix tarnish the reputation of the industry as a whole, which has generally improved in the last few years. Unfortunately, some bad apples still remain.
