Pros

Sky Recruiting has built their brand as being one of the best in their business; well-known over the last 20 years in the Executive Recruitment world, there are candidates you often come across that have already spoken to or been recruited by your leaders. Leadership truly is 'cut from a different cloth' in recruitment with a framework that WORKS. Very entrepreneurial environment where your success is dependent upon your own efforts in building your own book of business and getting job orders while networking in the electrical and industrial distribution markets. As a family-owned company, you get all the perks of a close connected culture in the office, with the flexibility to take care of your own personal affairs. They have rituals and traditions that are meaningful and sentimental. You are trained with a framework they deploy and have built their reputation on with - OLD FASHIONED RECRUITING. Without all of the technological distractions, you are given a list of companies to contact, with an expectation of 4 hours of phone time each day. There are no job postings, no recruitment on LinkedIn - just you, a list, and the phone. The clients LOVE this approach as it puts you directly in contact with their competition and sales professionals who are currently working in the vein of the industry. These are passive, thriving professionals that are then introduced to the opportunity through you. It takes a very self-assured, creative individual to get a panel of candidates to step up; if you stick to their framework - it's possible. This company needs people who can get excited and can maintain the mindset that THAT NEXT CALL is THE CALL LEADING TO THE WIN. If you can get excited about that, you're golden. It's a hunt and it can be exciting.

Cons

Commissions are paid only upon payment by the clients - sometimes a wait on disbursement to you. It's heavy phone work with a high rejection rate - takes some thick skin - not for the type who needs affirmation. There is no employee advocate/HR department - the office manager can be crass and rude when asked for help/ requests.

Pros

The owners have moved to Phoenix, AZ.

Cons

Read all the reviews and note which ones are marked the most helpful. Know that the person that wrote the review can not vote for their own review. This should help add some validation to the negative reviews for Sky Recruiting. The most recent review on here claims that all the negative reviews were done by one disgruntled ex employee. This is incorrect and I know for a fact that the 3 negative reviews left in 2019 were all done by different legit past employees and none of those review or this review was written by the person they are referring to. This was simply managements poor attempt at trying to cover up the way they have mistreated their employees. I also know for a fact that multiple positive reviews that are on here were either left by management or done at management's request. With that said, I would be repeating what the honest negative reviews have already stated. Back to my headline, unless working in a toxic work environment is your what you are seeking....... you can do better.
