      Pros

      -A base salary ($40,000/year) -Free medical + dental + vision insurance for yourself -Free food, occasionally -unlimited coffee -technically possible to make a decent living, after years of grinding

      Cons

      -Extremely poor training -Required 9 hour in office workdays (8am - 5pm) -No remote (except a few special people) -Very slow ramp up period for commissions -Will take multiple years of grinding to possibly reach anywhere close to $100k/year total compensation -Extremely complicated paperwork combined with very out of date systems which crash constantly, and require you to fill out the same information at a minimum of 3 to 5 times per contract. -Zero sense of security that any "deal" will land, or stick. -High pressure from middle management to produce -very few leads, no use of job boards to advertise as you would expect from a recruiting company. -Absentee Senior leadership. -Awful, inappropriate music. - "Joe vs the Volcano" office vibe - no 401k match - very low commission percentage... 6%. other companies pay 10-15% -unexciting bonus money available to top performers, bringing total commission to 7.5% of the gross margin, if you invest a minimum of 1 year full time into this job and are a rockstar.

      Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry that you had a bad experience. We understand that the recruitment role can be challenging at times. We are supporting facilities that urgently need medical professionals and it can be a high pressure role. We’d like to address a few things that you mentioned to provide some clarification. Our office hours are 8am – 5pm with a 1 hour lunch. All of our recruiters and team members are allowed to take a break. During our interview process, our Senior VP of Recruitment explains the job in detail including work environment, expectations, 401K, and commissions. We have direct contracts and a 6% un-capped commission is a competitive rate for the industry right now. If you’d like to share any further info about your experience, please reach out to our HR department.

      Pros

      From the very first interview with Travis, my 2nd interview with the sales team and the job shadow, I felt like I was set up for success from the very beginning. Each interview went into detail about the hard parts of this job but also why this opportunity is a great next step in my career! It has followed through exactly how they described it and I have loved talking to clinicians every day to help them find jobs!

      Cons

      Training, you get straight out to the floor so it is a lot of learning by doing/shadowing which I enjoy! It is a lot of information but they prepped for that in the interview process

      Pros

      - Increase on bonus structure, offers more recruiters to make more $ - Great management, I think maybe this varies on teams and personal experience but I have always felt incredibly supported -401k with match, health insurance isnt too bad - New training team = help with management, there is a lot to learn for new recruiters so this helps balance things a bit. - Great interworking team, I have seen other teams have the same - Marketing really tries to make events for the office + add to the culture which is nice/fun!

      Cons

      - Lower base salary (44K), can make things incredibly stressful if you have a smaller book of business, lots of turnover due to this - Not a whole lot of room to "move up", limited on management positions, no significant base increase for tenured employees
