Decent training program followed by a downhill experience. Appearing busy is more valued than actual productivity. - Recruiter Actalent Employee Review

"First one in the office, last one to leave." The type of place that glorifies the person working 60, 70, and 80 hours a week. Even if the numbers they put up matches the person only willing to work 50 hours. The salary portion sounds appealing for an entry level job but the amount of time spent in office combined with the expectation and encouragement of working from home leads to an earning of near minimum wage. The commission structure is designed in such a way that you never really get any legitimate earnings until long after you've closed a deal. Each deal peppers in a small amount to your paycheck over the course of the 12 months. There is a high turn over rate in the office and the benefit of someone leaving is; if they've placed a few people, the company continues to reap the benefits of that contract and hands the placed candidate over to another recruiter (who doesn't take over the commission) for continued care taking. Which generally doesn't happen, because what incentive would the remaining recruiter have to help a candidate they have no earnings on? Beyond the obvious, which is caring for the people your team is representing. But when a recruiter is already being drained of everything they have sustaining their own workload, it makes it nearly impossible. Actalent (Allegis Group) does not care about you. Actalent does not care about their candidates. I honestly don't even know if Actalent cares about their clients. Shortsighted approach to business and the people that thrive here are the embodiment of a stereotypical used car salesman and tend to be of the good ol' boy mentality. Do not work here. But if you do end up working here, start looking for an exit door as soon as you can.
