Dispassionate review of my experience at InterEx Group - Recruitment Consultant Interex Group Employee Review

Con #1: The vast majority of new recruiters who join will be fired or leave on their own accord within 3-6 months. While there are guidelines for measuring performance, these are not always explained thoroughly to new hires. This has caused significant stress for employees and has led to the deterioration of morale. Con #2: There is neither generational nor institutional knowledge within the company. This is not a fault of the company, as it is much newer to the market compared to other recruiting agencies. Nonetheless, the balance between graduate hires and more experienced talent is quite large, particularly because so many experienced recruiters left for better opportunities. I have seen the company try to develop an internal mentorship program, such as a monthly check-in between graduate hires in the US and senior recruiters in the UK. However, the program did not stick and was eventually phased out. While there were occasional training sessions, there was no program where graduate hires could shadow more experienced hires. Most of everything was learned through trial and error. From my perspective, almost everyone was just trying to survive. Con #3: The culture. People are scared to lose their jobs at any moment, especially after having seen entire teams come and go within months. Con #4: The job is fully onsite. Con #5: The workload is intense and unforgiving. Some will survive, many will not. While one could argue that this is just the nature of working in any type of sales or consulting role, the truth is that there are many successful recruitment agencies that do not place this much pressure on their recruiters to perform within such a short period of time.
