Pros
If you feel like you need a breath of fresh air from this job market then HireClix might be where you want to park yourself for a while. Additionally if you're fresh out of college looking for a hands on first job, then look no further. HireClix excels tremendously in two main areas: benefits and employee culture. It's no surprise that a company focused on recruitment does so well in making sure their own employees are taken care of. Arguably, the best parts of HireClix are from what it can (and does) offer to it's employees. The variety of benefits ranging from amazing medical insurance to unlimited PTO to dogs roaming the office are among the best ones. Friday's in the Summer you got to leave at 12pm to enjoy the rest of the day, Flex days and work from home days, allowed you to travel or take care of your family, I remember hearing about bonus' as well, and it's things like this that keep HireClix at the forefront of employee satisfaction. There are tons of positive smaller things I could comment on as far as benefits go, but I think these are several worth mentioning selling points. The other thing that makes HireClix a great place to work is the culture. HireClix is firmly invested in making sure that employees are treated right and given every extension to live comfortable lives while doing their jobs and this is such an underrated aspect of jobs in general. Work life balance at HireClix is truly unmatched, but make no mistake, this isn't code speak for 'not doing any work', they just do a wonderful job at managing workloads so that you work at a fair pace. I didn't realize how important this was until I started working there and I don't suppose I'll run into it any time soon. You'll find a very friendly, super personable atmosphere with wonderful coworkers that are truly kind people. I loved this about HireClix, and it made working here significantly less stressful verse other work environments. Additionally the authenticity you get on a daily basis makes you feel like you're actually working with real people verses buttoned up personalities that only exist in undeveloped workplace environments.
Cons
The other side of this review of HireClix are strangely, things I thought would be an ace in the hole for them. My philosophy on critiquing has always been "candid not critical" so keep this in mind and take it all with a grain of salt. The main two areas HireClix could flesh out more thoroughly are career development and compensation. I remembered when I started, I specifically brought up the career path question to one of my team members and how that looked. The answer I received felt more like an answer I'd get, if behind the scenes the plane was being built as it was flying. There could be a variety of reasons for this, but I chalk it up to the fact that it's still a "new" company relative to some of it's competitors. (Which really isn't a huge excuse considering how similar companies have grown) None the less, hopping into a position and not knowing how it scales or what it ultimately becomes, feels very "startup-y" to me. *This might not really be a con to some people, but I thought to include this for transparency. The other aspect of this is the compensation. I remember running reports on several positions at HireClix to see where we (as a company) were paying our employees. A few came up under and a few right on the mark. I was among the short sticks. There are numerous reasons why a company would choose to compensate what they do, but I remember having a handful of conversations with coworkers with the compensation being the talking point and how it could be better so it's strange it's not mentioned more here. *I concede that since my time there, salary values may have changed For me lack of vision at the end of the proverbial tunnel in tandem with not the best pay is why I titled this as such. HireClix really is an AWESOME place to work, and if you're just starting out or want to get hands on experience in a professional recruitment marketing setting, I'd highly recommend it, but not somewhere I'd spend the next 5 years. (At least not in this economy)
