* 90% of jobs are VMS (no manager contact)
* Metrics > Placements - Submittals are more important to recruiting leadership than placements.
* No direction or communication at the VP level
* Middle managers (MD or Recruiting Director) are either really good or really bad. The good ones have left or are leaving
* No accountability for account managers and sales team. AM's are technically in 'sales' but only a handful actually sell. Most do not have manager contact with their jobs and are not managed or held accountable to do so. However when recruiters get a placement they give full credit on placements and commissions to an AM. We reward AM's with placements for not being involved in the entire process.
* Benefits are really bad and expensive
* Salaries - way below what competitors are offering and adding new experienced team members is almost impossible.
* Job Stability - everything is being moved offshore and now there are offshore recruiters working onshore business. They seem to be moving to 100% offshore recruiters since we cannot find onshore recruiters willing to come work here.
