Innovative search firm with strengths in management, team skill-building, and data-driven processes
Pros
I’ve worked at Magna Search Group for several years. As a company overseen by excellent management and having a team of high achievers it is genuinely the best place I’ve worked. We have a highly experienced, innovative CEO who leads from the front, oversees and advises on all ongoing projects, and is always creating teaching moments while continuously demonstrating subject matter expertise to incorporate into our daily workflows. The team itself is tight knit, works closely together and the company is always making forward strides with positive changes and evolving processes. Each individual is sharp, innovative, and a contributor, and I’m ecstatic whenever any of them joins me on a new project. No one works in a silo here because support is just a colleague away. Outside of that, it’s a place where you can really learn and essentially get an MBA in recruitment and project management because the CEO really knows what he’s doing - he’s achieved monstrous success in this space and it both inspires and informs the Magna team. Magna is a feedback-driven company. This means it’s a place where one needs to be comfortable taking constructive feedback, as well as being comfortable working quickly and being on top of your workload. But this is really nothing short of a given and is the main reason that truly sets us apart from other agencies. Yes, there will be some days when you need to begin work early and some days when you need to work late … but we’re all about servicing the client and getting the work done, and quite honestly this is part of any successful search firm. The truth is we are working with some of the most exciting, innovative and rapidly growing partners in their respective industries. Magna is not only a company with a LOT of legacy accounts and unreal net new clients, it enjoys a phenomenal reputation amongst them. Want proof? - they pick up their phones/respond whenever we reach out to them, it’s truly amazing to see this reputation in action. Companies want to work with us. Straight up, people who are committed to learning and who are willing to put in the work are making significant incomes. They do well. For those folks who are not making money this is simply because they are not making any placements. The company pays top-of-the-range salaries and commissions in addition to its outstanding bedrock of team support, teachings and airtight processes. I’m making a lot of money and have grown into a leadership role myself. And an exciting facet is that each and every week we’re all seeing these demonstrated successes.
Cons
It would be great if we did more team get-togethers. More in-office work sessions as this could add significant value to the new recruiters as much as the more seasoned ones.
