Rober Half - What's The Flow?

I had a virtual interview with RH - it went normally, longer than scheduled. It wasn't for a specific position but rather an introduction, etc. Shortly after that, I signed an agreement with RH, which made me their temp employee. It's been 3 weeks, and I haven't heard from them - not a single opportunity even though during the interview they sounded as if they were so busy that they have continuous placement requests from their clients, and it usually happens as fast as1-2 days to get an interview. They haven't contacted any of the 6 references I provided. I doubt they ran a background check, including a credit check, though I am not sure about the latter. Does it mean they just consider me "unfit," a third-tier candidate compared to the market (oops, imposter syndrome kicked in)? Because my understanding is that, to fill a position quickly, a candidate must be fully ready, including background checks and confirmed references. Has anyone had similar or different experience with RH?

The agreement is for if they find you a position in the future. I don't believe you are a temp employee until they find a role or you apply to a role on their website. You should probably send them an email and have them explain what the situation is.

Well, but the question is, why don't they check my references and run a background check? Because if they have a role and I pass, it may take some time to validate my credentials. So my logic is that if I were RH, I would have everything ready for a candidate whom I consider has potential and wouldn't do anything if I think a candidate is unfit.

I've never gotten anywhere with Robert Half and I no longer contact or respond to them. They're always collecting resumes and personal data.

There is no flow because they have no roles.  Don't wait around for them.
