LeadingEdge Personnel and the practice of racism
I had registered with the LeadingEdge Personnel located at 8200 N. Mopac around the date of June 29, 2007. My recruiter was Rachel Richter. I dont recall the exact date. But later on i was contacted by Lisa Matthews about a job that was over 30 miles away from my address. I told her how i thought the offer was ridiculous due to the type of job and the distance of it. The recruiter then told me something like “We are not going to work you anymore”. She was very short, rude, and unprofessional with me. Later i had a talk with her manager.Her manager told me how she was going to work things out with Lisa. Im not very sure about the exact date, but afterwards i had a talk with the manager at LeadingEdge about getting me a job. I told her what type of job i wanted. She told me that i needed six months of experience for the particular job. Then she told me that she didnt think LeadingEdge would be the right resource for me. I was given the impression that after i got the 6 months of the work experience i needed, i could then get a postion through this employment agency. I already had 4 months of experience and a certification in the particular feild i wanted to work in. So after i got the other two months of this work experience through a different employment agency that got me on a temporary contract. I called back over to LeadingEdge for employment on the date of Oct 26, 2007. I was then told by Rachel Richter how i had to speak to the lawyer for this employment agency. I asked her why. She ask me something like “Why are you calling us”. I then tried to reason with her but she just said “Please dont call anymore”. At that point i knew that i had been discriminated against. Because she did not give me any good reason for telling me that. Austin, Texas
