JAS Recruitment Response
7yClearly from your review you feel cheated and certainly did not have a good experience at JAS. We are truly sorry you feel that way. There is no doubt we have had a contingent of people who have created a toxic environment. This has caused a great amount of headache and stress throughout the entire organization with the few making the environment bad for the majority. At the end of the day, the role of recruiter is performance-based. Each recruiter receives considerable training and is granted free reign on how they spend their time and what they focus on. The recruiters who perform earn well in excess of their peers and we try to work with the folks that struggle, giving them time to pull through and turn around. Some have, however some have not. There have been a few occasions when a client takes a long time to pay, this is the same for any business, but these circumstances are rare and blown out of proportion by the reviewer. Our compensation structure is heavily weighted to reward performers as opposed to subsidize the underperformers. This philosophy is carried through to the benefits, rewarding performers with higher compensation and an extremely generous 401k plan, the very real chance to get an extra week as Paid Time Off on top of standard 19 days paid time off. History has shown that the average first yearly earnings of people who do perform are in excess of $60k, sadly, it is less than that for those that don’t perform.
Clearly the environment was not for this particular former employee but we have many professional people at JAS who are doing well on both a personal and professional basis. It is upsetting the former employee feels so bitter. I hope they find something that is better suited.
