In response to "I would consider not listing the temp agency as the employer. The hiring company shouldn't care who paid you, but what work you did." by TFox

I actually got in trouble for this when I applied for my current position.

the HR recruiter said that if I were an attorney I could gt reported to the bar association for misrepresenting my employer.

Plus, if they call HR at the company you were assigned to instead of your employer, they won't have any record of you as an employee. Better to list the temp agency "on contract with" the company where you were assigned, or similar.

Your HR recruiter sounds like a douche. And if you were an attorney, you wouldn't be temping at a mortgage company. -- nm - TFox Nov 24, 08:33 4

- that sounds pretty standard to me, actually. -- nm - loosilu Nov 24, 08:38

  - and isn't that one of the prime requirements for an HR recruiter? - znufrii Nov 24, 08:36
