Diversant reviews

It starts with the business model upper management devised called "Diversant 2.0". The first phase of the plan is to recruit recent job grads who could be easily manipulated into believing this job is all about taking clients out to fancy meals/sporting events and making 6 figure salaries within the first couple years of employment. The reality is that IT staffing is a brutal and extremely competitive industry that requires years of building professional relationships before real results can be seen. The commission plan is structured so that very little commission is made until you are generating over $500,000 a year for the company which again takes significantly longer than is initially advertised when interviewing. My time there was almost exclusively spent cold calling into companies we had little or no prior relationship with who were also getting hounded with the same calls from 5-10 other staffing companies in the area. There is a strict metrics system in place for the recruiters/account managers involving the number of outbound calls, submittals to jobs and placements that should be made every week which leaves you feeling very micro-managed when your call numbers are being recited to you every day. There is a legitimate opportunity to make money in this industry but even the more senior people in the office who were making 100k or at least close to it admitted it is a miserable job and requires far more time to reach the levels of success that the company likes to advertise to its young and naive workforce. They hire entry level college grads in droves because they know 80% of them will quit within 6 months.

They think taking you out to lunch and buying you alcohol supplements the terrible nature of the work. Cold calling all day, minimal success rate that is literally based off of luck. Pay is ONLY good for recent grads, must hit ridiculous quota to advance to better commission program. Base salary only increases once if you hit 10k in commissions. Management has slight superiority complex, doesn't address you if they see something wrong. If or somebody else doesn't like you they tell your most direct manager and then they work off of hearsay to tell you that you're wrong and is not willing to consider your side of the argument.
