      Beware - They Hire Recruiters & BDMs to steal

      Business outlook

      Pros

      Younger group with a lot of energy. Everyone works hard, including the Managers and Partners.

      Cons

      They mainly hire staff from the staffing industry to steal clients from their former companies. They have a grace period for when they fire recruiters and sales reps. 4 months, 6 months, 12 months, 15 months. Then you're gone. Termination is based on popularity and not performance. Individuals have been fired after performing to the standards given. Most quit right before, beforehand because they can see all the signs. They promise work life balance, but they DO NOT offer that at all.

      Micromanaging are it’s finest

      Pros

      My team was AMAZING and I met some people that will be friends for life

      Cons

      Upper Management has no clue what they are doing. The sales team treats the recruiters like they are literal dirt on the ground. Telling us our candidates were trash or we were terrible at our jobs. God forbid we ask questions , because if you did, get ready for the flames of hell to come at you. If you bring issues up, nothing gets resolved and gets brushed under the rug. The cut throat environment, stealing candidates and working with some of the shadiest coworkers I have ever met is something that was not for me. Upper Management 100% had favoritism and would chose candidates from only certain recruiters. Don’t even get me started with the micromanaging. One email would get sent out, three others would follow to reiterate that we need to step it up as recruiters and do our jobs, WITH NO JOBS to work on. We are going through a pandemic, yet they blamed our numbers dropping on us. Upper Management expected us to do sales jobs for them and get leads and what not because who the heck knows what they were doing all day. In the end, I would never go back and I truly hope they get it together for the sake of current employees.

      We are very sorry to hear that you had certain negative experiences. This pandemic has been tough on everyone. As an organization, our first focus was to keep everyone safe and working from home. We also recognized the financial impact that most people felt and supported our employees financially. We are glad that you made some lifelong friends. It sounds like you really enjoyed your team overall. Best of luck in your future endeavors.
