Pros

Being fully remote is great until they hire people that are nowhere near your recruiting territory. If you have no experience, you can still get a job here Commission percentages were pretty strong

Cons

The training program is bad. The focus on KPI's means that people interview irrelevant candidates instead of focusing on people they can actually place. Virtually no one hits 12k gp/month out of training Every software implementation is done poorly and spearheaded by people who are not technical. This company spends hundreds of millions on a CRM that people have no idea how to use. Company talks a lot about DEI but the vast majority of the executive committee and board of directors are straight white europeans. Their DE&I spokesperson in the US is a white male. Leadership is entrenched in their positions and most of them haven't recruited in decades. The president telling people to work 60 hours per week while lowering their comp plan is a bad look. Management doesn't really do anything. Local leaders don't attend events or conferences. They just sit around and talk smack in 1 on 1's. They should add some value to the business Company refuses to take stances on basic humans rights like women's healthcare.

Pros

The team was one of the strongest aspects of the organization, with many supportive and hardworking colleagues. PTO and time-off benefits were competitive, including occasional early-release days and additional time-off opportunities throughout the year.

Cons

The company culture has significantly declined in recent years, leading to lower employee morale and engagement. Micromanagement became increasingly common, while transparency and trust diminished. Although remote work was heavily promoted, there has been a shift toward a hybrid/in-office model. Office conditions often created challenges, including recurring maintenance issues and an open floor plan that made it difficult to focus and conduct private conversations or meetings. Compensation has not remained competitive with market expectations, making it increasingly difficult for employees to achieve strong earnings. Comparable staffing firms in the industry often offer higher compensation while providing similar benefits and time-off programs. As a result, retaining experienced recruiters and top performers has become increasingly challenging. Work-life balance also suffered due to the pressure of meeting KPIs and performance metrics, often requiring work outside of normal business hours to remain competitive and meet expectations. Employee engagement initiatives and team-building activities that once contributed to a positive environment have largely disappeared. There has also been noticeable turnover among tenured employees and top performers, raising concerns about retention and overall organizational direction.
