Vantaggi

There is a gym downstairs. Also a cafeteria.

Svantaggi

Just so many things here. Starts at the top. CEO and her other partner portray to have it all figured out. They reference a blog and so many things they are involved with, but never seem to move things forward from start. The internal leaders are worse (MS & DB). DB has the ego the size of Atlanta and is about as self-serving and condescending as they come. The staff has zero confidence in leadership and whispers have become screams about how bad things are. Kinetix is a very clicky organization. Like Middle School without the slow dance. Training and development is just as bad. Tech upgrades, like BD, just isn't happening here. After three long years had to bounce after being talked down too for the last time from DB, having multiple job orders removed after the client pulled the posting (due to gimmicky "Kinetixized" position description) and repeated promosises for changes. Base pay is low and commission are slow.

Hi - first up, sorry you look back and feel you didn't have a good experience at our company. As a fairly young company, the only constant is change, and I'm sure you felt that. I can't say that anyone at our company can say they have it all figured out. We're imperfect as a company, but working to get better. Our Ops leaders have a tough job - ensuring we provide a high level of service to our clients while providing the best work environment we can. The training we provide has never been better, but we continue to work on it. We do unbelievable work for our clients as a team! Related to pay, we're very proud of the opportunity to earn we provide. It's true that our target comp is comprised of 50% base and 50% incentive, but there's no limit on the incentive upside. Commissions aren't slow, we pay in the following month once they are earned, which is customary. We have many recruiters earning great livings - we're proud to provide the opportunity and they deserve it - they're great at what they do. Related to your claims of fake reviews - we don't do that. The rating would be higher if we did, and the last review before this one wouldn't be 8-9 months ago. There's a lot of balanced reviews on us here that provide a mix of feedback (good and bad) that people can learn from. The last year has been a great one for our company. If you spent 3 years with our team in a great market for recruiters, you were undoubtedly a good recruiter and we trust you had more positive experiences than you are sharing here - or you wouldn't have stayed. Thank you for your contributions when you were here.

The best thing about Kinetix is the people who work there! Fun company culture with a group that goes the extra mile to help each other. Competitive but not cut throat.

Svantaggi

Smaller organization where you wear many hats.

Vantaggi

- Collaborative coworkers - Work life balance was good

Svantaggi

- Yearly layoffs are common - Some leadership relationships created a perception of conflict of interest. For example, close family members of the upper management are working in recruiting and operations which sometimes made employees hesitant to raise concerns or give candid feedback. Also created a feeling of double standards when It comes to delegating work - Transparency around hiring and internal opportunities could be improved

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We want to clarify that yearly layoffs are not common at our organization. 2024 was an anomaly driven by unique business circumstances, and it was an extremely difficult decision. Layoffs are never easy, and one thing we are proud of is how many boomerang employees we have welcomed back over the years. During the 2024 restructuring, our goal was to bring back as many team members as possible when opportunities reopened. As we hire, it will always be based on the needs of the organization and the requirements of each role at that specific time. Ultimately, hiring decisions depend on what the company needs to move forward. Thank you again for your transparency. Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any other concerns.
