Pros

Definitely leaving this "Pros" one blank.

Cons

I have worked for three recruiting agencies and Kforce is HORRIBLE. RUN for the HILLS. THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER AGENCIES WITH BETTER COMPENSATION STRUCTURES AND TEAM-FRIENDLY ENVIRONMENTS!!! This company is extremely corporate and very inpersonable. You are just another number on the board. Literally, they only care about dials and don't even care about legitimate conversations that have potential to produce future business. Their software system is extremely outdated, unorganized and ineffective (and a time suck.) They can call you a recruiter in "finance and accounting" but fill $13/hour roles for a receptionist position (clearly not the image that the company employee needs to portray.) They do not stick to their values. Managers are aloof, disengaged and DON'T EVEN PRODUCE. To anyone who is entertaining working here, DON'T. There are so many other talent agencies out there who actually care about their teams and development from within. With my personal experience, look at ANY OTHER AGENCY. This one is the worst of them all. Sorry Kforce, you have become another RobertHalf. The company has the MOST turnover I have ever seen in a looooong time within recruiting.

Pros

Decent salary base, probably could be a really good paying job if the job market was better

Cons

Definitely a typical, corporate sales culture where you are defined by your metrics and your metrics only. They are money grabbers, and their commission structure isn't that great. After 2 years you lose 50% of your commission from contractors and they eliminated early release days before holidays. My office started becoming a "bro culture" and the leader was clearly trying to act like "one of the guys" with the males in the office. If your market is slow with reqs, they expect you to reach out to other offices for subs which is hard to do when other offices favor their own teams' recruiters. They'll likely give you a picked over req or one not close to the money that their own team didn't want to work on. I had to reach out to other offices daily to basically beg for a req to work on to hit my metrics. To add to it, the PTO structure for salaried employees is not how they described it when I joined. 17 PTO days total (including sick/personal time btw) and it is actually accrued throughout the year. I had to use PTO for sick time and a vacation, so when I left I had to write them a check for my balance! Talk about a way to really give someone the boot when they're on their way out the door.
