Lupa Recruiter Reviews

I haven't written my review because most of my opinions have been expressed in other reviews. Yet, for those considering Lupa, it's crucial to decide wisely. My time there was the most dissatisfying in my career. The CEO fosters a toxic micromanagement culture, being not only rude but also an ineffective leader. No motivation, no accountability; he vents on the staff when things go wrong. Lupa, is a typical headhunter, touts an AI value proposition but relies solely on LinkedIn. No tools, low pay, high demands – a poor choice. Not recommended. No learning, no growth, and the salary is not competitive. I've witnessed positive reviews scripted by the CEO to mask their poor rating. If it's your last resort, consider it temporarily. If alternatives exist, choose any; they can't be worse than Lupa.

It's unfortunate to say, but the only positive reviews about this company are from the CEO's practice of asking employees to write 5-star reviews. The company is struggling to attract new talent and acquire new clients. During my time here, I did not receive the commissions promised to me, and the CEO attempted to evade this by not including any mention of commissions or bonuses in the employment contract. It was seemingly at his discretion, despite his initial promises of regular payment. Sadly, this is a tendecy, former employees confirmed the same happened to them, with the same excuse. The company lacks a clear vision for its direction, resulting in confusion regarding roles and responsibilities, which ultimately affects the employees negatively. The CEO frequently changes roles and plans, often on a monthly basis, and then blames employees for poor performance when, in reality, he struggles with effective leadership, motivation, and scaling the business without resorting to threats of termination. His rudeness and tendency to make employees feel inadequate or replaceable only exacerbates the toxic work environment. He makes it clear that good performers are treated favorably, while those who struggle are subjected to constant pressure until they improve, creating a stressful atmosphere. Although he acknowledges some of his mistakes, the CEO tends to repeat them when facing pressure due to poor performance. In my opinion, he is the primary reason why so many people leave the company. As a current employee, I can affirm that the negative reviews posted by former employees on this platform are accurate. Working here is a waste of both money and time.
