I'm going to take issue with one of the companies on his list, Riviera Partners. I worked with this company for several months last summer (Hey Matt!) and, in my dealings with them, they were utterly professional. I hate recruiters in general, but the guys at Riviera were the definite exception.
First, their list of clients were very top-notch. I did a number of phone screens and on-site interviews with companies I was introduced to via them. Never found exactly what I was looking for, but met lots of cool people and companies.
Matt was my main contact after I asked to only deal with one of their people. Was always professional and helpful. I've had good interactions with some of their other employees too.
- thinker 15y agoSeconded. They helped connect me with top notch interviews over a two month period and were extremely professional and personable. Quite a few of the startups they represent are A-list. I would recommend them to any high caliber engineer.
- azylman 15y agoI posted my experience with them elsewhere here (http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3678767 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3678767) but it was basically the exact opposite of your's - extremely unprofessional the whole way.
- geuis 15y agoSucks you had an unpleasant interaction with them. I worked with them quite a bit and never got that. I did stupidly take an interview from a recruiter called Jivaronic or something. That was pretty bad.
