Vantaggi
Owned a variety of projects from start to finish, really liked most of my team and client group, training opportunities available, manager open to help for career development and weekly syncs, flexible schedule with opportunity to work from home, corporate credit card even for level 4 employees for event planning, traveling and staying at nice hotels with awesome catering for recruiting events. Great role if you want to become a recruiter.
Svantaggi
We work in open-wall team rooms which can get really loud and disruptive. There is no privacy and everyone hears when a recruiter is really failing at a phone call to close a candidate or sell a role. High maintenance recruiters, especially full-life cycles and client leads. Some recruiters can make your job hell by requesting a number of changes when your job is done because they didn't care enough to tell you before you started working on a loop. Some can be really rude in making demands because they are stressed about their metrics. Lots of stress. Constant fires throughout the day: last minute interview requests with short lead times and no one willing to interview the candidate. This is an even bigger problem when your team asks to do an event last minute. Also interviewers pull out throughout the day and it's the RCs problem to find a replacement. All this while your regular deadline for scheduling other interviews is ticking away. Your co-workers have varied talent levels at a company that needs to grow quickly along with constant turnover. If the other RCs on your team are crap, all of the recruiters push their work to you instead of the other RC. After seeing the recruiters at work, I did not want to become one.
