Pros

Get a really solid training for technical recruiting, but then again I guarantee every technical staffing agency does the same.

Cons

There are a lot of cons with this company. You can kill it doing a good amount of deals at this company and you are still micromanaged like a kid. First off its a different story if you are micromanaged while making a good base salary. To be honest I did a lot of research and I found out that Workbridge pays probably one of the lowest salarys for a technical staffing agency. 33K is what you are offered and that is a joke compared to the other staffing agencies. There are 4 managers at the office, and roughly 20 recruiters. Once you hit past 20 deals you can become a lead recruiter but usually the turn over ratio is so bad I would say 1 in 20 of the recruiters turn into a lead recruiter and by that time one of the manager gets fed up by continuously being micromanaged and next thing you know that lead recruiter thats only been in the that specific job title for less than 3 month is a practice manager. The funny thing is that I left Workbridge before hitting the 20 deals, and I make more now then all the practice managers. What I realized is that Workbridge doesnt care about their employees what they care about is the 6 month you are there that you are able to bring in 2-3 deals which is about 50-70K in revenue which they pay you like 10-15K for your salary for 6 month and then when you quit it doesnt matter or if you get fired, cause at the end of the day they made 50K off of you. Advice to anyone that wants to break into technical recruiting if Workbridge is the only place you are offered, take the offer, train hard, utilize and learn as much then get out in 3-5 months and get paid 45K plus for an actual base salary for a position where you can really talk about and have personal experience with. This is a company that will use humans just as they sell humans. They dont care about feelings they just care about the revenues, which is why I'm fine with how they are turning out right now cause I played the game too. Trust me from a person who utilized Workbridge just as they utilized myself I do not regret anything that has happened because they used me and I used them. Thanks for letting me realize that I could make doubles to triples my base salary within 3 months. Good luck with all the internal problems must be very stressful working for a company thats barely floating.

Pros

Supportive Management (both professionally and personally) Fun Environment Competitive (they will push you but also give you the tools to succeed) Open Communication (I have had a lot of conversations with management, both good and bad, and whether or not you like their response - they do listen to you) Structure (while some people may see the structure as limiting, I recently had a brief stint with another agency and let me tell you... job order/call/feedback models ensure you don't miss any information) Great place for a college grad who enjoys competition and is ready to grind. Your team/office will help you celebrate your wins.

Cons

it's sales. The job is losing more than you win. Understand that. Accept that.

Pros

Overall this has been the most positive environment and company I have worked for. Their excellent training program and attention to detail is amazing. Management is always available to help when you need it, and do whatever they can to make sure you succeed. -Top notch training program -Strong team environment -Investment in personal and professional growth -Opportunity to interact with high level executives in company -Ability to form lasting friendships and business relationships inside and outside of the organization -Opportunity for unusually high income -Clear path to promotion and organic growth

Cons

-You have to navigate the training program prior to getting on to commission. This is to make sure that you have the proper skills before relying solely on performance and commission as your income. Some might see this as negative, but it is the safest and best way to make sure that when you are on commission, you will be ready and able to earn high income. -Sales and the agency recruiting model is performance based once you reach commission. If you are not good at managing your income, or not used to performance based income, this can be stressful. The management team does a quite good job of making sure that you are moved to commission when you are ready. -It is hard. Not rocket science, but a grind. If you are not the type of person to push themselves on a daily basis, or to be uncomfortable in your training and day-to-day work, this will be a difficult place to succeed. A commission based sales position is not for everyone.
