His name is Peter Trombetti and he works for Watch Hill Partners out of Providence, RI. They specialize in placing exiting military people into a job, in an area specified by the military person.
I could not agree more. This guy is terrible. I am also a veteran. He was the third recruiter to call me today. I have more offers than I can swing a dead cat at. I only mention this to illustrate that I am a very strong candidate. I did very well in school and in the military as an Officer. I have an advanced degree in a technical field that is in extremely high demand. Yet, he treated me like an idiot! He was very terse, and extremely unpleasant. He even went so far as to lecture me. DO NOT WORK WITH HIM OR HIS WATCH HILL PARTNERS!!! This guy is really a piece of work. I will certainly be telling my fellow JMO’s. This is not the way to do business!
A man from Watch Hill called me this morning claiming to be "representing" a candidate of mine who I had recently presented to a client company. (I am a recruiter) He said if I place the candidate I would owe him a split fee. He got very nasty when I told him that was never going to happen. He eventually hung up on me, mercifully. Unbelievably rude little scumbag.
This is an absolute LIE. Whoever you are, I would suggest you do the right thing and instead of writing something anonymously for the world to see, why don't you give me a call directly at Watch Hill Partners (as I work there too, this is also my family business) since we obviously have NEVER spoken with you nor have ever partnered with anyone as you suggest we tried to do with you. We can also discuss your issues with the proper authorities (once we aware of who you are). As you may or may not know, what you are doing is NOT honest and worse of all, UNTRUE. Do the right thing and stop this lies about us, as you are not only hurting a businesses and our clients (the veterans we work with), but you are also hurting my family, who you know nothing about. My family business does NOT work with any other firms, EVER, this is a small family business and we work extremely hard every day in an incredibly challenging economy. So, look me up and give me a call. We appreciate that you come forward so we can also let the world know why you chose to hurt us this way. Thank you
Just found out, based on previous emails we have on record that this comment was posted by an old competitor of ours. This is extremely violating since this indicates that this person is still trying to hurt us. We had to go bring this to the attention of our legal counsel - again and have filled a report with the FBI for online abuse, and hopefully will be able to trace IP address from where this offensive and untruthful comment came from and clearly identify its origin.
For the person who wrote this message, you will be asked by the authorities to provide proof of the contents that generated your post on this blog. Also, know that I will not rest until I am able to expose you and clear the name of our business and every one who works in it. Even if I had to spend whatever we have left and put off other priorities such as planning our family's future, holidays, etc... We are educated professionals and an honest hard working family trying to make a living while helping other people benefit from any success we may have. Our business solely depends on the success of our clients and we do that with integrity.
Because of the result of damaging comments and lies such as the one you just posted, our company has suffered sever losses of close 40% of our volume. This is something we will not be able to recover, but we will continue to get up every day and do the best we can, as it is all we can do. You will never break us.
Just remember that when we fail our clients, by not being able to place them in jobs, because some people mistakenly choose to read this blog instead of giving us the chance to perform, our client's families also suffer the consequences of unemployment.
The damage that these comments generate, go beyond our small firm and our family, it also hurts every one we are NOT able to place in a job and every one around them, including the companies that need their skill-set and their communities. So much for trying to contribute to job creation in our frail economy. I wonder, if maybe we can leave that one up for the government to solve that as well.
I truly hope this message reaches this webmaster administrator of this blog and allows them to get the chance to meditate about this, and hopefully allows them to do the right thing.
