Vantaggi

Not enough data to appreciate any upside; co-workers seem nice and many were Jr., implying preference for fresh meat and high turnover.

Svantaggi

First, they seem to come close to meeting my base and I accepted on principal. However before starting, I was advised that their actual compensation is actually all on commission and the base is actually a non-refundable draw that is applied against 50% of your "base" and all commission are held for the first 6 months; 100% after 1 year. Why not just be up front with that. A bit of a bait and switch hiring practice. Had to do required online training that was voluminous, took 8 days to complete. Placed someone within first week going live and all the team leads we're kvetching about we're how many calls I made and overall "numbers". After less then two weeks live! Online training does not even go over their CRM workflows, you have to ask busy people under their own gun, how to properly record and execute a submission. Training mentor was mostly hands off and addressed me as if I was right out of college rather then Sr. Recruiter. Tried to do everything for me and get it out of the way rather then guide through a cumbersome submission process. The fixation on meeting their overall submission numbers was more important then actually filling their clients needs in a manner that flew in the face of their metrics, i.e. X amount of average submissions ='s placements/revenue. The metrics do not really apply to human capital management so it,s basically a "coverage shop". Good luck meeting your compensation goals if you have to submit the first available candidate, as opposed to seeking the best candidate. Rates are low due to SLA's, so getting someone to take the role or be retained over the duration of the contract is a crap shoot. Be prepared to work with a lot of 3rd parties and a 4 month ownership rule in this crowded field of recruiters, where another recruiter can block your submission or you have to split a low margin.... Walmart Body shop...:-)

Vantaggi

Decent salary base, probably could be a really good paying job if the job market was better

Svantaggi

Definitely a typical, corporate sales culture where you are defined by your metrics and your metrics only. They are money grabbers, and their commission structure isn't that great. After 2 years you lose 50% of your commission from contractors and they eliminated early release days before holidays. My office started becoming a "bro culture" and the leader was clearly trying to act like "one of the guys" with the males in the office. If your market is slow with reqs, they expect you to reach out to other offices for subs which is hard to do when other offices favor their own teams' recruiters. They'll likely give you a picked over req or one not close to the money that their own team didn't want to work on. I had to reach out to other offices daily to basically beg for a req to work on to hit my metrics. To add to it, the PTO structure for salaried employees is not how they described it when I joined. 17 PTO days total (including sick/personal time btw) and it is actually accrued throughout the year. I had to use PTO for sick time and a vacation, so when I left I had to write them a check for my balance! Talk about a way to really give someone the boot when they're on their way out the door.
