Having graduated college in April I was looking to start something immediately. However, I found myself torn between having a resume filled with PR internships and wanting to enter the competitive world of finance. Glocap reassured and prepared me that I could indeed find something in Finance. After my initial interview with Glocap I was immediately thrown into the interviewing process. They encouraged all types of interviews which was the best advice to date that I had received. Without this advice and without the amazing help I received from the Glocap staff I certainly would not have gotten the job that I currently have. Two weeks after I had graduated I had landed an amazing job at an extremely popular and thriving hedge fund. I cannot express my gratitude enough for the persistent phone calls, the honesty, and the advice Glocap supplied me with!

Pros: The young staff and the great companies they do business with!

I have to say that recently when looking to make a big of a transition out of my current job, I went to Glocap per a recommendation from a friend of mine who is always "in the know". She sent me to Glocap to see a girl there who she said places "ALL the EA/PA's in the city". I had a nice meeting with her and then I met with two of her colleagues. They were great! You could tell they are very into what they do. They had real enthusiasm. They set me up with two interviews and it looks like I have two or three more pending for next week. This is the third search firm Ive been to this week and Glocap is the first to actually HAVE JOBS! After all- isnt that what this is all about? I have a feeling that with search firms you cant win them all. Im sure that not every candidate that walks in the door is going to be amazing. Im sure its those people who probably get pretty annoyed when then dont get sent on interviews. You're probably going to blame the search firm rather then see what it was that prevented the search firm from sending you on interviews to their clients! Anyway- for me..so far so good! I am crossing my fingers that one of these interviews turns into a JOB!!

Pros: So far so good! LOTS of jobs and very nice staff

Cons: None yet....will keep you posted...

I also went through all the motions of interviewing with them and scouring their site and calling the recruiters (respectfully, and NOT harassing them). I never received a single word of reply from them. Never had a single email replied to. I have experience, I dress appropriately, I behave professionally. So follow everyone else's advice and steer clear of these people.

Pros: Can't think of one.

Cons: Don't have space to list them all.

The below positive reviews are written by employees, 2 posts the same day. With their lack of service, I am lead to believe that they post more jobs than they actually have. I know 4 people who have went to them and they all got hired from another headhunter for a better package than what Glocap said they would get. From the 4 people who worked with them from 3 weeks-6 weeks. Only one interviewed, ONCE. Do Not Waste your time. Go somewhere, where you are valued. Find a headhunter who wants to work for you.

Cons: If you have extra time to read emails and click on jobs, this is the place for you. If you want to get hired and find a JOB, go to someone else.

Glocap helped me find a job and I had a great experience with them. I worked with Ruthanne who is wonderful and seems to know everyone in NYC. Highly recommend.

Pros: good for financial services

Why does it show four stars when everyone who reviewed it put one star. Anyways this was by far the worst experience I have had with any temp agency. I got an e-mail from them saying they would like to meet with me so I called them. After the third attempt I finally got a hold of someone. We set up a meeting. I got there with 10 minutes to spare before my meeting. I had to wait 30 minutes and someone told me that the person I was meeting with was busy on the phone so they put me in one of the meeting rooms where I waited another 10 minutes. The lady that spoke with me wasn't even the one who I was supposed to meet with and she treated me like I was wasting her time when they set up a meeting with me. After only five minutes of talking she said "we usually don't deal with people of your background" even though they called me and said they would love to set up a meeting. She left then came back with the card of the lady I was supposed to meet with and promptly showed me the door saying "she's too busy right now so call back some time and set up another meeting". What a let down. I never got an apology or even a call from the lady who I was scheduled to meet with. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL, VERY INCONSIDERATE, VERY DISRESPECTFUL. There are plenty of other places to go. Avoid at all costs.

Pros: Cool table in the waiting room

Cons: Everything else

They were good about 4 years ago, but right now they are completely incompetent. There are much better headhunters out there nowadays.

Pros: Lots of listings

Cons: Too many to list

Glocap, though with good reputation, has incompetent recruiters who have little experience and can ruin important career opportunities with little regard for the consequences. They totally misrepresented me to an employer and I lost the opportunity. No apologies, no acceptance of blame. Totally unaccountable. Avoid them if possible. They are incompetent.

Pros: none

Cons: incompetent, inexperienced staff

DO NOT go through these people...I actually know someone who they screwed out of a job. They lie about the temp assignments they send you on and they don't care if you get hired because they lose money. Whatever you do, stay away from them. They never forwarded my resume to the permanent manager so I went through a different firm and got a really good job. If I had stayed with this firm, I probably wouldn't have a job yet, and I went to them 5 months ago. The people who work there are just terrible!

Pros: NONE!

Cons: EVERYTHING!
