Tillster, Inc. Reviews

  • Nov 1, 2016

The company is running a scam of duping IT job applicants into thinking they would get an employment with the company while placing them with the other company the Tillster Inc. has a contract with, then using people as short term contractors. It has been going on for several years.

How it works?

While interviewing candidates for a job, everything looks normal. All interviews go just like they would for standard employee positions. The offer letter is issued from the name of Tillster Inc. describing the position and offering employment with Tillster Inc. No other companies are mentioned in the letter. On the first day of work, new hires are asked to sign the paperwork. That is where among other documents the company slips in a page with information that the candidate will actually be employed by Insperity, but has a fiduciary duty to Tillster Inc. This information is camouflaged within legal terms many candidates are not even familiar with. On the questions about Insperity, HR responds that it is only for processing of benefits and paychecks. Even after coming onboard, candidates are constantly told that Insperity is just for benefits and paychecks and the employment is with Tillster Inc.

The candidates discover that they are actually what is commonly called contractors when they receive their end-of-year W2(s) which do not even mention Tillster Inc., only Insperity. Those who start raising questions are terminated. When terminatees file for unemployment, their claims are corrected by EDD to go against Insperity, not against Tillster Inc. Just like the old adage goes: if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, talks like a duck, then it is a duck! Insperity representatives do say that Insperity is the "employer of record". Which is another term for staffing agency.

Tillster Inc. is creating an impression of long term employment where there is none. It is a hollow shell company with a lot of offshore outsourcing and subcontracting. Its U.S. staff is either hourly contractors (where it is stated clearly that a person is a contractor) or the described above contractors via Insperity. Tillster Inc. brings majority of its staff on that scheme from out-of-state, then terminates them within a few months to keep everybody instantly replaceable. Many would not have relocated and moved their families if they knew they would end up on unemployment within a few months. The staff turnover rate for 2015-2016 is close to 80% a year. This is not what is normally called a permanent employment! This should be called a contractorship with employment by Insperity and on a contract assignment at Tillster Inc.
