Beware of "the process" - Recensione dipendente - Technical Recruiter presso Ursus

The PROCESS; deets at the bottom Micro-management, particularly from Director level It's hourly which makes OT attractive right? I was sold on this during offer then weeks later was discouraged from it and shifted my hours a little bit to not log OT (I was on different time zone) There is clear favoritism with 1. managers/senior managers getting all the easy direct req hires (non MSP) and they get applauded during meetings while newbies have to work MSP/VMS reqs... I'm all for starting at the bottom and proving yourself but if its really not fun to see everyone up top winning when you're struggling at the bottom 2. Some managers being exempt from following "the process" and working on your primary reqs --> hurts your submittals As for the PROCESS itself; tbf I was told this would be a dealbreaker from the start. As in, you have to follow it and if you don't, probably wont work out here. I thought that meant the typical stuff like learning the ATS, taking detailed notes of candidates, filling out intake forms, involving Sales/account managers/direct managers, meeting KPIs, etc (I did ALL of this and met the metrics consistently), but the real process difference I noticed was requiring me to recruit WIDE; as in, simpler booleans to yield much more candidate results (hundreds) and sifting thru the dozen pages on LI...Moreover, I was told THIS was the reason they are successful all these years! My years of recruiting sucesses came from recruiting narrow, being picky and selective of the talent I contacted. Can we not both be right in our own ways and methodologies? There's no way a company is successful because of this ONE process that I happen to not follow from the 10 other things I did very much right Which brings me to another point: You'll be sold on how open Ursus is to other ideas, communicate effectively and actively listen to other ways of just being better but not thats not been my experience... and I wasn't the only person who thought this internally I was told I was being let go (after a for not following the process but here potentially lie the real reason(s)- 1. Within my first week of starting, I was assigned by one of the Directors a very hard req to work, probably the hardest. It was open for a month and half. I was flattered by the challenge until she shadowed me and started criticizing my boolean and pretty much constructed/simplified it for me to sift thru pages of candidates... I went with it and worked the role tirelessly for weeks, didnt get interviews while other peer recruiters did (Good for them) and eventually role was filled by a competitor a month and a half later. That same morning, I got the axe 2. I had an honest convo with my direct manager. He was good with me for the most part but I felt there was an underlying tension between us as I got to learn the processes, his communication style and everything. In our convo, I ask if he has a problem with me and opened up about my frustrations/struggles, one of them being our communication feeling tense. He appreciated me vocalizing this, apologized and communicated his side of the issue. We both moved on, I felt better...few days later, I get let go
