Good place to start, but wouldn't make a career out of it. Way easier ways to make better money elsewhere. - Placement Counselor Motion Recruitment Employee Review

Pros

Great entry level training program young hip atmosphere. The path is clear for advancement if this type of work is your bag.

Cons

Terrible pay even for entry level, but the worst part is no commission. Unrealistic goals for how much money you will make. I worked there for 10 months, billed over 100k ( and in recruiting there is very little over head so that is a nice chunk) and my salary went from 30k to a whopping 37,500 a year. In my entire peer group of all the people I knew when I worked there that had proven themselves and were supposed to have this great career path, only one of them is still there. None of those that made manager came close to making 100k. It has bean a few years since I worked there and I have heard they have gotten more up to date but they literally use no technology and no CRM. There methods are a little dated and I had never seen that they work, seeing our competition used them to their success. (No phone screens?) Managers are young and not very experienced. Seeing they only promote from within it is very feasible that all the Senior level people have never worked at another company before and only see the business world through the Stride "bubble" . They also play favorites which was a big reason I left. There is allot of attempted indoctrination in this company. Almost like a cult and if you cant "hack it" here, than your clearly sub par. Ya right. I see allot of reviews on here talking about how much money the senior management here make. What took them 10 years to achieve at Stride I made in my new job in 3. I also didn't see any of them mentioning the draw you have to make when your management to even begin making commissions. Ridiculous. If you are that good of a recruiter than just set up your shop. You will make allot more. They also keep talking about the entrepreneurial mind set you need to succeed here. If they were that entrepreneurial they would be working for themselves.
