Pros

I have nothing positive to say about Diversant, besides some of the great people I had the opportunity to work with and build a relationship with.

Cons

Where do I begin. Diversant claims to be a diverse company when Diversant doesn’t even recognize MLK day that’s one. That is just the facade that Diversant uses just to try to be different than other recruiting firms. If you look at the stats of the company there may be only a handful of African American, Hispanic, or any race other than Caucasian that works there. Secondly, the recruiters do all the work and do not get any recognition for the amount of work recruiters put in. When the VP comes in town, what do they do, they take the sales team out to a nice dinner and drinks while the recruiters just sit and continue working and getting burned to the ground. Recruiters have at least 20-25+ open jobs that are on their dashboard that are system generated. Boom here come these lazy account managers who doesn’t do any work but claim the job just because it may be in their line of business, but have not made any attempt to reach out to the manager, but then again they do not know the manager. But yet I have to split my deal with someone who doesn’t do any work and they get paid more than me for what. Out of the Charlotte office there were only 3 maybe 4 on a good month who would go out and get the jobs that are exclusive for the recruiters to work on. Mind you there are a total of 10+ account managers in the office and the company continues to add more account managers but would not spend the money to get more recruiters to handle the amount of work that is needed. I have witness Account Managers 1st hand not work on a job, claim they have business meetings and would never be at meetings. Good thing for Apple Technology where you could track another iPhone user with Find my Friends. It would literally show the Account Managers at the Mall or still at home, but yet the recruiters are not able to work from work. Why do you need the recruiters in the office when we cannot walk a consultant to his/her interview or even walk the consultant to their 1st day. The MD states that he would like to have another account manager go with the account manager and consultant. But hey it’s not my company I just know that this company is going downhill. Consultants stay away, especially if you are currently on a visa. I have seen 1st hand Diversant screw up consultants like yourself VISA’s and ignore the fact that they have screwed up your visa and will have you deported and not think twice about it or try to resolve the issue. I can go on and on and on about this company. I have been there for a little of 2yrs and I have witness 6 managers come and go and recruiters leave before reaching their 12 month mark. I am telling you, please stay away from this company because you will regret this mistake in your career. You will wake up miserable and not want to come to work.

Thank you for your feedback. We are sorry your experience at DIVERSANT did not live up to your expectations. From the onset, DIVERSANT takes pride in its national minority status and diverse workforce. Currently, 52% of our employees are diverse based on the recent company statistics. DIVERSANT currently employs approximately 300 foreign workers, including H-1B visa and green card holders. We have a very robust and effective process when it comes to H-1B sponsorship and green card applications. Despite recent governmental restrictions on H-1B visas and frequent visa denials by the USCIS, DIVERSANT’s immigration legal team has managed to secure 90% approval rate for our foreign workers. As to your dissatisfaction with the recruiter/account manager dynamics, our recruiters have access to all jobs currently in the system in order to promote cross-submittals. Gross profit is not split 50/50 between recruiters and account managers – rather, commissions are based on the full gross profit for each person. In addition, each entry level new hire begins its career at DIVERSANT as a recruiter and is later afforded an opportunity to choose either the recruiting or sales path, depending on his or her preference and other factors. Having said that, we always strive to do better and appreciate constructive feedback from current and former employees. We wish you best of luck in your professional endeavors.

Pros

My American dream started when I got a job offer through Diversant. It is undoubtedly the best consultancy in the United States. This company helped me during my toughest period when I was looking for my first job after completing my masters. I would especially like to thanks Brianna Srgo whom I think is the best recruiter I ever met(though we never met face to face lol). They helped me getting my H1b in a first go and they know the difficulties international students have to face during that phase. They fully supported me and were always open to any questions I have to ask for. Again, Brianna came out to be the star performer for this company and made it sure that for specific questions relating to immigration, taxes, etc there are always right people available to answer them. Unlike other companies, they never let me off the hook even when I was not working with them and fully supported me and guided me with all the doubts I was having. The company has a fantastic immigration team led by Shanda and I would like to thank her too for helping me out for various visa relating questions. It was a privilege to work with such a nice company with everything organized. I look forward to working with you guys in the future again. You guys are the best.

Cons

Not at all. They are the best
