Doherty | The Employment Experts Reviews

-The salary is a joke, lower than every other Administrative-based staffing agency (think Aerotek, Prostaff, Masterson). The offer a whopping $12-14 to start out of college, then increase you to $15 once you are 'hired on'. -We are expected to work like crazy for commissions around $200 per quarter! -They hire the recruiters based on PI's -not from recommendations or actual experience, thus you get stuck with a bunch of aggressive, snarky people in one room. These people will gossip about everything under the sun, they will exploit every personal detail you tell them to the entire company. I have listened to hundreds of personal stories about others while working here, it doesn't matter if you work in the same office or across the metro the whole lower half of the company knows what you do on the weekends and who you are dating, etc. -They also promote people based on time with company, NOT based on talent or worthiness to the company. Its a "put in your time/pay your dues" company and that amount is years and years before you start to see any of your worth pay off. -The turnover rate is mediocre, people aren't in/out in under a year, its more like 2-3 years but when you look at the fact that some people make a career being a recruiter (at much larger corporations) the turnover rate looks high here.

- The biggest issue with this company is pay. It is absolutely ridiculous how much you underpay your recruiters. Robert Half and Kelly Services offer entry recruiters $45k-50k base and senior recruiters here don’t even make that. - Retention - this goes along with pay. It’s like a revolving door. You’re considered senior amongst recruiters if you make it to a year. - Incompetent sales team - actually TRAIN your sales reps and offer them true guidance. They don’t know what they’re doing. Better yet, hire EXPERIENCED sales reps. Recruiters get blamed for not filling positions but it’s difficult when you only get $12/hr call center gigs or “unfillable” direct hires to work on. - Professionalism - this company is gossipy so watch out. Corporate culture is shockingly sexist for a “woman-owned business.” Most disappointing is the fact that I’ve heard female upper management say wildly inappropriate comments directed at other employees and consistently toe the line of professionalism during work and at off work events.
