Thanks for comments. We are sorry that you did not feel that Tech Finders was the right place for you. Being in the valley for over nineteen years and placing over 5000 wonderful people in local jobs, we pride ourselves on finding the right internal team. More times than not, we get it right. Occasionally, we don't get it right. The right person is someone that strives for greatness, is a team player, and successfully places great people with our clients.
We do have a very tenured team who are exceptional at what they do. Half of our 15 staff team as been with us at least 5 years! Do those individuals have well established accounts and a candidate pipeline? Of course! With a population of 6.93 million people, in Arizona alone, is there plenty of opportunity for new team members? Absolutely! Do we have a very fair, well communicated process of how new accounts are distributed? Yes!
Our compensation plan actually is one of the richest in the valley! We clearly outline how compensation is calculated and have a written document that outlines commissions. We have utilized only two different plans in over 10 years. One is a base salary where commissions are given immediately. The other plan that we tried (and are not utilizing anymore) was a base salary and then a very high commission starting at 33% or personal production with the commissions starting as soon as the commission was more than what had already been given out in salary. **If minimum metrics are hit, staff bring home right around 90K with each plan.
To clarify using the example that this reviewer used:
For the sake of this example used above, let's say we hired a new recruiter named Elle Smith. Elle makes 5 direct hire placements in her first week. Let's say the average placement amount was $13,000. Half of that goes to Elle as her personal production (the other half goes to the Account Manager). So, $13,000 divided by 2 equals $6500.00. On this plan, she would make in commission 33% of $6500.00, which would equate to $2145.00 per placement. If she made 5 placements in the week, she would make $10,725! Not a bad week for a new recruiter, eh?
A couple other things to clarify because they were not correct in this review:
We only have one account manager that works both sides of the desk.
Our recruiters do have specialized silos of expertise so they can quickly help their candidates find the right opportunities. They can submit candidates for any role as we know that everyone has a different reach within their networks.
We wish you the best in your next role!
