Independent consultants should rely on other agencies This place is a waste of my time and probably yours as well. It verges on shady, tbh. No human contact: it's all automated messaging. The people who work there know nothing about the projects you bid on - they're just selling your services but could care less if it's you or someone else. No one will answer any questions you have about a project before you "bid". I have applied for numerous projects during the past year and rarely heard back on any of them. Projects are frequently "cancelled by the client" before start. The one project I "won" at Graphite was cancelled after I signed the agreement, on the day it was supposed to start. Left me hanging for 8 weeks pay after I turned down two other projects. Not a penny in compensation. At the same time, Graphite wanted to *sell me* credit services (like a payday loan!), training, and other things. Taking my cash but not paying me for work. There are many other professional firms that treat contractors fairly. Be wary of these people.

Asking for unimportant info Terrible communications. I needed repair work and they asked everything about my bank acct including passwords. Pin number felt very crooked. They don't need that for loan

The Graphite staff works tirelessly to… The Graphite staff works tirelessly to identify projects that are a good fit for their clients. I’ve been fully engaged and provided with client opportunities since I’ve started working with the team. There was a short ramp up with internal set up regarding tools but once in place you’re all set!

Personally lucrative and professionally engaging. While essentially a high-level staffing agency, my personal experience has allowed me to connect with recruiters who understand my skills and clients who are in need of said skills. Said skills, obviously, come with a premium that's represented in the hourly rate that Graphite affords while allowing a menu-based GUI to pick and choose the roles that speak to my experience, interest, and financial requirement. It's not all rainbows, obviously: there aren't a TON of options in the network, and some recruiters need a guiding hand in explaining what it is I do and how it intersects with Graphite's clients, but it's been a personally lucrative and professionally engaging experience over the last two years. Of note: I'm in the healthcare and pharmaceutical commercialization space, so YMMV. My skills are eclectic and wide-ranging, focused on technology implementation, product launch, and commercial/marketing analytics and operations.

Not very promising and reviews are fake All the positive reviews were written within a couple of weeks after Graphite joined Trustpilot. I have applied to four opportunities. Never heard back any response, not even a "thanks but no thanks". Another "opportunity" requested an MBA with at least 5 years experience and paid an annualized rate of.... $40,000. When I wrote to Graphite to let them know about this problem, I received no response. So, don't expect great things here.
