I have worked with Robert Half in the past and had nothing but a
negative experience working with them. They will do whatever it takes to
get you into a position that makes them money, including being less than
truthful with their contractors about the positions. I would never
recommend them to anyone.

I currently work in consulting with QCI localy based here in Des Moines.
QCI does recruiting as well, however they treat their contractors far
better than anyone else I have seen. Offering benefits and continuing to
pay them to work in the office between contracts. If you are looking for
something full-time they can probably find it for you.
