Pathfinders has an employee rating of 3.8 out of 5 stars, based on 37 company reviews on Glassdoor which indicates that most employees have a good working experience there. The Pathfinders employee rating is in line with the average (within 1 standard deviation) for employers within the Human resources and staffing industry (3.8 stars).
Other than the fact that the pay was ok, I do not see any pros of working for this company.
Cons
My assignment ended after 2 weeks and they did not even try to find any other positions. Never heard from them again. They were hard to get a hold of, did not return calls.
I really had a problem ethically working at Pathfinders. As a recruiter I was told to "fluff the truth" to make positions sounds much better than they were to prospects. I was actually told that we will not submit someone with a disability (i.e. stutter) because "those aren't the types of people we submit to clients." - even though the person was completely qualified. Pathfinders employees are very cliquey and not very inviting. The vacation time was only 10 days and 3 sick days (barely anything. Lunch is very strange (hard stop from 12-1) and no one really talks or interacts with each other and everyone sits at their desk. Oh and they rarely had a working coffee machine.
They are constantly recruiting for recruiters because they have a very high turn over rate (rarely anyone stays over a year).Personally I do not recommend working there or using Pathfinders agency to find a job.
Candidates were often poached, little to no training, and immature management.
Account managers favor their candidates vs quality of candidates
Only 1 week of time off (this includes sick and vacation)
