Vantaggi
Can ultimately move you on to bigger and better, and can get you up to speed with onboarding, compliance, and the candidate-led skills the HR/TA career would be looking for.
Svantaggi
Poor base pay for the stress you are constantly under. Managers expect no work/life balance, I've been told that I should spend weekends prepping call lists for a Monday morning. LinkedIn messages and emails sent from managers at 8 pm on a Saturday, then being asked at 8 am on Monday if I'd managed to action it. No, of course I haven't. Your job is constantly held over you. You can be billing like mad, then the first couple of zeros come in, and you will be told to improve this or be asked to leave. The current market and climate mean nothing, the desk doesn't fail, the recruiter fails. Managers will just sit in your emails, they watch your sent box. Everything has to be a KPI. I was once asked why I hadn't sent a single email on a sick day.
